Visit The Chocolate House
Discuss your chocolate ideas with us
You are welcome to visit The Chocolate House just to browse or discuss your gift or special occasion ideas with any of our helpful staff. However, if you are part of a larger group why not consider booking a full morning, afternoon, or evening visit - our hospitality will complete a great day out. See below for details. Go to contact us for directions and shop opening times.
Live chocolate making demonstration
If your group is between 15 and 50 people, you can reserve a live demonstration of the art of chocolate making from the proprietor of The Chocolate House, Susan Bristow. The talk itself will last about 35 minutes and all of the chocolates made in the demonstration will be beautifully gift wrapped and given away in a free raffle!
Cream teas and buffet
With a live chocolate making demonstration, you can also take advantage of one of our delicious buffet meals freshly made on the day. From light cream teas, to a full cold meat carvery we can cater for most tastes and appetites. All meals are served with a crisp side salad, delicious home made fruit desserts, and complimentary hand made chocolates - of course! Needless to say our chocolate mousse is to die for! Including the live chocolate demonstration and meal, the complete visit will last about two hours.
Mini visits
If you’d prefer a shorter visit (available only for groups of 7 to 15 visitors) why not consider a ‘mini-visit’. This is less structured and more personal - we’ll give you a ‘one to one’ tour of our shop and kitchen lasting about 30 to 40 minutes.
All groups catered for
The group visits are now a very popular customer request. We cater for a wide range of groups including schools, scouts and brownies, church congregations, residential homes, the Women’s Institute, tourist companies, and work's outings to name a few.
