Great time decorating chocolate
The staff were great and really good at explaining what you had to do. I'm not the most creative of people but I was really pleased with what I made. My chocolates looked and tasted delicious. I learnt some things about chocolate making and decorating that will help me going forwards.

A delicious day!
The Chocolate Craft workshop was a wonderful experience! I loved creating my own personalised chocolates, combining ingredients and covering them in chocolate. Decorating the products was especially good fun... a chance to be really creative!

Great fun!
We had a great time at the Chocolate Craft workshop. I bought this for my mum for her 80th birthday present, and we went along not really knowing what to expect - but it was great fun and very informative. Nice relax atmosphere and Sarah the instructor was warm, funny and had great knowledge. Didnt feel like we couldnt ask questions, and when we did they were answered fully. We came away with a box of our own created chocolates and a hand decorated lolly. I would deffinatly go back.

Fantastic!
A really enjoyable couple of hours. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the workshop had a lovely atmosphere. We learnt about the history of chocolate, and how to use it, and made some fantastic chocolates to take home. We also had the chance to win a 'decorate a chocolate lolly' competition. Highly recommended!

Totally awesome
Loved my afternoon chocolate making, especially loved how easy it was to do and the fact you got to take your chocolates home at the end of the session. The session is run by two lovely ladies who are nothing but amazingly talented and funny!

Relly enjoyable morning!
I have done quite a few food-related classes from different providers and found that they vary from excellent to mediocre. This one was excellent. The tutor and assistant were helpful, knowledgeable and informative while being friendly. They kept the atmosphere light-hearted. I learned the basics that would allow me to have a go at a home with the right equipment and came away with some very nice handmade chocolates to impress my family.

Yummy wedding anniversary gift!
Fantastic experience! I went on my own whereas everyone else in the group was as a couple. I was well looked after and I was saved the best seat in the middle directly in front of the demonstrations . The chocolatiers were very knowledgeable, informative and were willing to answer any questions. All the chocolate you could eat which was obviously a good thing. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

A fun, informative and tasty morning
The session was good fun with plenty of opportunity to work with, and eat, chocolate. The session focused around producing some very tasty chocolate ganache sweets but allowed us to work with various different aspects of chocolate craft including making and flavouring the ganache, pouring melted chocolate and decorating with chocolate.
