I have a query about a particular product, what should I do? The best thing to do is to call the office on 01189 321043 and we can discuss it with you.
Will my chocolates melt during delivery if it’s really hot? If the weather is particularly warm, we normally contact customers and ask if we can postpone the delivery until it’s a bit cooler, normally only by a few days. If you urgently need the order, we will send them in polystyrene boxes and will do our best to protect the Chocolates inside. Unfortunately, we cannot be held responsible for any damages if you have decided to accept delivery of your order, despite the warm weather.
Do you have a virtual brochure? We do! Click here to view our Autumn and Winter brochure including our Halloween, Advent, Christmas and more.
I can't find a particular product on the website, why would that be? At the start of the season, the item may not have been added but it will when it's in stock. If it's the middle or end of the season, this means the product is now out of stock.
Can I order over the phone? It is difficult for us to take orders over the phone now. If there is any reason you can't order via the website, please give us a call and we will see if we can help.
