Pippa and her amazing team joined us in London to provide our away day activity. The whole afternoon was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. The room was full of laughter and people having fun, made all the better knowing we would be leaving the day with our own handmade chocolates! I cannot recommend Chocolate Craft enough for a team activity, we had around 50 people doing the activity and Pippa and her team kept the day rolling at a nice pace throughout. We do enjoy a bit of competition so it was great that this element was incorporated into the day too! – and even though my team didn’t win, we had a great time. I have had so much positive feedback on the chocolate workshop, I 100% recommend Chocolate Craft to anyone looking to host an activity, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again for making our day so brilliant 🙂

June 2023

Just to say that we had a lovely afternoon. Staff were brilliant & it was great fun – even for someone artistically challenged like me!

Thanks to all.

Went to Chocolate Craft for a Team building afternoon and it was brilliant! The Staff were super friendly and helpful and you get to take everything you made home which is a bigger bonus! Would highly recommend!

Just wanted to say thank you again so much for the fun, patience and understanding yesterday.  The ladies were absolutely thrilled and now we’ve got the whole office buzzing.  You have a beautiful product and we felt very honoured to have such a lovely experience.

Corporate Workshop Feb 2023

We used Chocolate Craft for a company team building event with around 55 participants – it was a roaring success which was enjoyed by all. Chocolate Craft provided all the equipment and tools that were needed for the day, which kept my life simple and easy. Everything was very well presented and professional looking, and the chocolate / ingredients were of a high standard. Pippa’s obvious passion for her craft combined with her fun and energetic personality made her a really good host. It was a really fun team building activity and the chocolates tasted absolutely yummy!!

We had a fantastic afternoon of team building with Chocolate Craft, communication with Pippa was excellent from start to finish. Pippa and her team were really engaging and everyone had a really great time, there was lots of positive chat afterwards. The best part was they didn’t scrimp on the ingredients!!

May 2022 – from Trip Advisor

I recently attended a Chocolate Craft Team Building Event …..It was amazing. Pippa and Co were truly excellent, exceptionally professional with a super slick well practised set up. The whole session was a huge success both in terms of building and bonding the team as well as individual enjoyment. A solid 5 gold stars.

A big thank you for making it such a fun evening. I’ve had fantastic feedback from everyone. Thank you for managing it so well – I’m sure we’ll be using you again!

I was immediately impressed how Chocolate Craft presented themselves. A great team building event where you get to take away your own selection of handmade chocolates. A most enjoyable event!

What a fantastic couple of hours! I will definitely recommend this event to others

The event was a blast! We had a great time & your staff were great. We also liked the fact that you work with premium quality chocolate – that definitely makes a difference!

We had a really great time – it really was a great way for the team to bond.

I’ve received excellent feedback about the entire event. It was very professional & contained important brand messages for us. Our objective of team bonding was most definitely achieved.

What an incredible way to bring our team together! Chocolate Craft delivered a flawless, fun and delicious 2-hour session. There were plenty of handmade goodies to take home and the competitive element kept the energy high throughout. David & Sarah set-up the venue beautifully and it was only 5 mins from our office – Highly recommend!

A lovely way to spend 2-hours. I really enjoyed our chocolate making experience.

Everything went really well and everyone had a fab time. Please send my thanks to Julie and Sarah too – they were brilliant!

The event was very well organised & extremely professional, whilst being great fun at the same time. Everyone got involved and it was a great way for the new team to bond. The competitive element really brought everyone together & the feedback has been excellent.  A brilliant team building event that I would recommend to anyone.

Many thanks for a great event. As a relatively new team with people really only knowing their immediate colleagues, it was a great way to get people to get to know each other and start to build a team spirit. It was a really enjoyable event in which everyone had fun & really participated. We also got to take something edible home which has to be great!

Thank you for a lovely Team Building Event – we really enjoyed ourselves.  It was very well-organised and cannot believe how much we did in the allotted time! Though I have to say that some of the chocolates didn’t make it until the end of the day…!

Thank you so much to you and team for making our event so memorable – our guys really enjoyed chocolate making.  The aim of the evening was to have fun, with a bit of team work and a bit of a giggle – so a big tick on all of those! From the point of view of an organiser, you guys are just so easy to deal with, super friendly and very, very accommodating. Don’t be surprised if some other Bupa teams reach out to you!

Debbie and her team are professional, efficient and a delight to work with. We had some delegates with individual needs and these were accommodated without question, ensuring that all our employees had a wonderful experience. The feedback we got was superb – thank you to Debbie and co for helping to make our employee conference one of the best yet.

This was the second time we had engaged Chocolate Craft to drive a team bonding exercise for us. They are really well organised and both the ’50 Chocolate Challenges’ (which was hilarious) and the more structured ‘Launch Your Own Chocolate Company’ were brilliant, with a great mix of hands-on activity and information on chocolate making. Really well organised and tasty!

The group that attended your workshop thoroughly enjoyed themselves & found the afternoon informative, fun, relaxing… and delicious.

The event was superb and everyone had an excellent time. It was great fun, a lot was learnt & the competition element was fantastic. Your staff were flawless in both their knowledge & enthusiasm.

I would just like to say a big thank you to you & your team. They were great. Everybody had a fantastic time. I’ve received so many lovely emails from the PA’s & am sure that we’ll be using your company in the future.

Thank you to you & your team. It was a very well organised, professionally run event which proved to be enjoyable for all of the team & our invited guests. Great fun, but also a good teambuilding exercise & learning experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the day to other companies.

A brilliant team building exercise, that ticked all the boxes for business – branding, marketing, development, manufacture. It was great fun with the bonus of a few tasty treats to take home afterwards. Everyone was keen to participate, which doesn’t often happen with traditional team building activities.

I just wanted to say that the event went really well yesterday. Thank you very much. Everyone really enjoyed themselves!

The event was professional & efficient, with personable, fun & knowledgeable staff who created a great atmosphere. It was excellent – all participants really enjoyed it and had loads of fun.

As a university lecturer, I understand the importance of welcoming new students into their first year of study. We knew we needed something entertaining but also educational to get the new students interacting and having fun! That’s why we chose Chocolate Craft. From start to finish, the day was organised and executed professionally. The students had an absolutely incredible time and the group work tasks really helped to break down barriers. Since the students were starting a course in Marketing, Chocolate Craft did a great job of introducing some of the key elements of branding with a fun chocolatey twist! We always get great feedback from the students after this event and I’d highly recommend Chocolate Craft as a student induction event, particularly for marketing and business-related courses. We look forward to inviting them back next year!

The event was a great success – it was excellent.

A huge thank you for a successful workshop, enjoyed by our worldwide team who were delighted & felt truly educated about all things chocolate. Those lucky enough to take part in the event were delighted with their chocolate gift & promise to practice their chocolate decorating skills at home with their families!

Our group thoroughly enjoyed themselves. A wonderfully relaxing way to start the weekend. To summarise ‘fun, friendly & fattening’!!!

We had a great time and had a joke about if we did such a good job “marketing the chocolates” – would you consider paying us for our intellectual property?

A very smoothly organised event, presented in a relaxed way. Everyone who took part thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Great that everyone was able to work at their own pace. Perfect for what we had in mind.

Thank you very much for arranging such a fantastic event. The feedback was very positive & everyone in the company really enjoyed it. The way that it was structured & organised was great. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to other businesses.

The event exceeded our expectations in every possible way. We are pretty hard to please as we look for perfection in what we deliver – & you achieved this. It could not have been a better choice.

The event was extremely well received & everyone had a great time – your chocolatiers were very professional & did a great job.

I would like to thank your team for organising such a fantastic event for us.

Everyone had a really good time & thought the session was very good

Everyone had a fantastic time & talked about it all evening.

A huge thank you for a successful workshop, enjoyed by our worldwide team who were delighted & felt truly educated about all things chocolate. Those lucky enough to take part in the event were delighted with their chocolate gift & promise to practise their chocolate decorating skills at home with their families!

Just to say what a fab time we had on Friday! A huge `thank you` to your team. We all enjoyed it very much & some of us even have some chocolates left for today!!

You gave us an excellent & very interesting talk & demonstration, the activity was exactly right and everyone really enjoyed it.

Rebecca enjoyed herself so much on Wednesday that she wants to recommend you to a colleague.

A most belated note of appreciation for the single box of your chocolates that I bought for Christmas. My family agreed that they were just about the best we have ever tasted – and we are all serious about chocolate.

Definitely right up with Hotel Chocolat, if not even better.

Best of luck with your future operations. The world needs many things, and really superior chocolate is right up there.

Tom – January 2024

I have to tell you we had the best time! The chocolate is such good quality.
I don’t think Sally could have done anything more. She made it good fun and was very helpful and patient. So well done all.
I have already recommended it to several friends.
Thank you also for the extra chocolates due to having to move my slot.
I’m hoping to come to the advanced class some time in the future.

I just wanted to say thank you for today… it was excellent. We both really enjoyed it, and xxxxxx   is so proud of her creations.

I’d been looking for something special for us to do together, as it doesn’t feel like we get much time either side of school, clubs and farm jobs… and I’m so pleased I saw your advert on Facebook.

Craft of any description is XXXXXX  thing, and today sparked a new passion… she’s wanting to have a birthday party with you, and then one day become a full blown chocolatier!

Anyway, thank you to you and Michelle for an awesome morning. It really was fantastic.

Family Easter Workshop April 2023

An enjoyable day in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Pippa & Del made us feel very welcome. I took away lots of tips to try at home, and now finally understand the process & science of tempering. It was very interesting to see all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to make such beautiful chocolates. I would recommend this workshop if you want to enhance your chocolate making skills. Plus you get lots of delicious chocolate to take home.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for the very enjoyable workshop on Friday. You made us feel very welcome.

I personally think you pitched it just right. Relaxing and not too much pressure. I took away lots of tips to try at home, and now finally understand the process & science of tempering.

It was very interesting to see all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to make your beautiful chocolates. I just wish I had such artistic talent.

I’m looking forward to making my own chocolates at home with my newfound knowledge. Good luck with your future Master classes.

Advanced Masterclass attendee – March 2023

I was lucky enough to be given a gift of a chocolate experience for Christmas 2021, along with my granddaughter and we came to see you on Saturday 11^th of March, which was just after our birthdays, so we celebrated in style. Neither of us knew what to expect but we were certainly not disappointed. The ladies who welcomed us were delightful – friendly and very helpful throughout. Sally started by telling us about how chocolate is made, from the bean to the choice of finished product, milk, dark or white, plus the ruby one we’d never heard of. Then we went on to make our ganache with cream and a choice of flavourings (6 sorts of alcohol and 6 of oils) and once we had mixed them together, we piped them into the tray of chocolate moulds. They then went into the fridge to set while we were given a chocolate lolly to decorate. We were kept supplied with piping bags of chocolate and various toppings to create our masterpieces. We then went on to finish off the tray of chocolates. We finished up with 24 chocolates and a lolly and we both went home very happy. What a lovely gift we had been given.

Thanks for a lovely experience,

May 2022 – Trip Advisor review

Had a lovely time at Chocolate Craft, the girls who hosted the workshop were lovely. The four of us arrived and we greeted warmly and were told what we were going to do. The art of chocolate making was surprisingly rewarding in the fact that our chocolates looked very professional. We were given a constant supply of whatever we needed for our ‘masterpieces’, as much chocolate and food decoration we wanted. I cant recommend this workshop enough, and you get to eat very yummy chocolates. We also made a chocolate lolly which we decorated. A great couple of hours, will definitely go again.

“Don’t let the lack of COVID-19 info on the website deter you! The ladies at Chocolate Craft are on top of things when it comes to making an indoor workshop safe and fun for everyone during these pandemic times. My friend and I went for a Sunday morning workshop, and it was such an incredible experience, especially after being in lockdown for so long. Classes are limited to 6 people, plastic barriers are in place between every pair of people, and everything was clean and efficiently setup. Hand sanitizer and wipes were available everywhere around the room. For the chocolate side of things, so much yummy! They accommodated for my friend’s dairy intolerance and my gluten allergy, and everything was so delicious. You won’t want of anything chocolate after this! They were very generous with chocolate goodies! The dark chocolate was a class favorite. Our teacher Natalie was a wonderful instructor with a kind, warm, and friendly personality. I loved she went into the business’ history and the chocolate decorating process. I was hoping to learn about tempering but she said that info was on the CC website. We got to make a bunch of gourmet box chocolates of our flavor choosing (mine was lemon raspberry white chocolate ganache in a dark chocolate shell) as well as decorate a chocolate lolly. Basically you will leave with a ton of sweets to give (or eat yourself haha)! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn new things while supporting a lovely local small business. Definitely would do again if I’m in town again! Great value for a priceless experience.”

In light of this feedback on Trip Advisor we have updated our COVID-19 information on our Website.

We had a lovely afternoon with Pippa at her chocolate craft workshop. We were very impressed with the measures that she’d gone to to ‘Covid-proof’ the experience from reduced class sizes to screens and individual equipment. The whole afternoon felt very controlled and safe. The session was fab, we received lots more chocolate than expected and the quality of the products we made were surprisingly professional thanks to her expert demonstration. It was a really lovely way to spend an afternoon and would recommend to anyone, even in this current ‘climate’.”

“A thoroughly enjoyable day had with friends and Pippa (the owner) at the helm. Due to Covid-19 the layout was well thought out with screens dividing each pair and hand washing facilities and sanitizer for our use. The actual chocolate making was far better than I could have hoped for with clear instructions and advice along with a learning about the process from cocoa bean to chocolate. There were plenty of different flavours to choose from so between myself and the rest in my party we came up with some pretty delicious flavours! From beginning to end this workshop was top class with plenty of tasting throughout.”

When I was given this experience I wasn’t sure if I would like it, after a few minutes in I was loving it & both myself and my partner had a fantastic afternoon. I would recommend this to anyone. Please, if you get the chance, do try this workshop.

I bought this workshop as a gift for my daughter and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it myself. I am not very artistic, but with the encouragement offered and clear explanations given by Debbie, I produced some beautiful chocolates. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly and refreshments were available. My friend, who came with us, had been before, and enjoyed it even more a second time.

Amazing experience, thank you very much!

Really great fun!

I spent such a fun morning under the excellent guidance of Julie & Judi. Everything was carefully explained and made both interesting & enjoyable.

We were able to forget the grey, damp and miserable weather outside as we tasted, savoured and tried our hand at decorating our own chocolates & lolly.

Thank you to the team who guided us through a great chocolate experience!

Amazing workshop with brilliant teachers. A lovely day which we couldn’t have enjoyed more!

Spent an absolutely wonderful morning at Chocolate Craft with Julie & Sarah, they made us feel very relaxed and welcome. The morning was well planned with lots of chocolate 🙂 We enjoyed making our own variety of chocolates & decorating them, then designing our own chocolate lolly. Thank you so much for such a lovely morning.

Thank you for a wonderful & fun time. I found the workshop informative & enjoyable & would recommend it to anyone who enjoys chocolate. One note of warning though – there must be a problem with your chocolates, as when I left I had 24 – imagine my surprise when handing the box to my wife that the box only contained 14!

What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning!

As we walked into the room we were greeted first by the delicious smell of chocolate & secondly by a welcoming lady who offered us tea and biscuits – what a promising start & it just got better & better. Your friendly & knowledgeable staff created a relaxed atmosphere. I’m already recommending these soothing mornings to others and, in fact, I think we may well come back again ourselves.

We had a fab time and had lots chocolates to take away with us!

I’ve just been to a chocolate workshop & can honestly say that it’s been excellent – interesting, fun & the chocolate tasting is heaven! Can’t recommend it enough. A real gem of a company on my doorstep.

It’s the 2^nd time we’ve done this kind of workshop & this was definitely the better of the two. I highly recommend Chocolate Craft: they looked after us perfectly, the location is lovely, group size spot-on & enjoyment factor top-notch.

This place is amazing, what a fabulous way to spend an afternoon, the staff were lovely & friendly & made us feel very welcome. I will, no doubt, be returning & can’t recommend this place highly enough.
