I came here for a chocolate making experience with a group of friends as a surprise they had organised for me. It was absolutely fantastic. They were all so friendly and helpful despite being very busy. We were shown some great techniques and we all had a fantastic time. The chocolate was brilliant quality and absolutely delicious. I cannot recommend this place enough!
