Fulfil your chocolate potential
Lets make a date

During the school holidays children will be able to make, decorate and package their own giant lollipop or flavoured chocolate bar at our shop and cafe. They will use our professionally tempered chocolate to make it and then decoration is up to them, go wild with a large selection of sprinkles and chocolate to make anything from a smiley face to a yummy mess!

All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Please note you will need to allow your lollipop or chocolate bar to set for about 15 minutes before packaging it to take home.  Aprons are provided!

£8.50 per person.

At our make your own chocolate truffles sessions we provide the chocolate, the ganaches and decorations and you enjoy creating delicious chocolates to take home!

We will begin with a chocolate tasting of chocolates from around the world to get you inspired! Then, using our tempered chocolate you will learn to make hand rolled truffles and piped and decorated chocolates in shells in a variety of different flavours - the choice is yours.

While your chocolates set you will enjoy a sweet grazing board with Al's famous scones with clotted cream and jam plus bite size tasters of our brownie, tiffin, shortbread, cakes and truffles with a hot chocolate, coffee or tea. Delicious!

Once your chocolates and truffles have set you will beautifully package them to take home with you.

We are a fun and relaxed environment to come and enjoy with friends and family - our goal is for you to have a lovely time, eat some delicious chocolate and learn a little along the way.
To go home with a smile, a tummy full of chocolate and a bag of goodies you are proud to have made yourself.
Our courses aren't designed for professionals and unfortunately we aren't able to offer one to one training.
We run our parties and courses around our commitments making our own chocolates and running our small business, so dates aren't always available at busy periods such as Christmas and Easter.
If you would like to come and enjoy making some chocolate with us we look forward to seeing you.
Have you a special birthday, family anniversary or hen party? Have you thought about one of our chocolate parties?
