Wonderful afternoon of chocolate!
A family member bought the Hotel Chocolat Bean to Bar Experience for my birthday present. I love chocolate so this was heaven for me. Chocolate tasting, the history of the bean to the shop, all the processes involved and making our own chocolate bar. And Prosecco, what more could you want. Josh was our brilliant host who had the right amount of ability to entertain and inform us as well.

A great afternoon out.
A very interesting and enjoyable afternoon, a nice mix of education and fun over a lovely glass of fizz. I learned a lot about how chocolate is produced and the differences between the various types. It was nice to actually make our own bars to take home along with a goodie bag of other chocolates. A small group, only 5 of us, and we had a lot of fun with our excellent host who created a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere.

Really enjoyable
For chocolate lovers this is really good. Nice being greeted with a glass of wine. The event doesn’t rely on getting enough people for Hotel Chocolat to put the event on, I was the only one on the afternoon I chose and how special to have a one to one experience. All the staff were lovely and friendly. I made two bars of chocolate, had a talk on how Hotel Chocolat use different sources of beans. A drink of my choice from the cafe whilst I waited for bars to harden. Also 20% off in shop or cafe.

Fascinating
Really interesting to learn about chocolate and make your own bar to take home. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very much geared to couples or groups so would be nice if a group introduction and atmosphere could be generated for those on their own at the beginning.

Great but not the best venue
The guy leading the experience was very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed making our chocolate bars, as well as the freebies at the end. We have found out however, you pay the same price to sit in the store and have the experience as when you go to their main event space where you can see all the machines working properly rather than pictures in a book. It would also be nice to make some milk chocolate rather than all dark chocolate being tasted.

Poor value
Bit disappointing and I don’t really see any value in booking this. Didn’t learn or do much nor was the gift bag of any value.
