  • 5/5 from Pauline Fay, attended Sep 2026: I've just completed a chocolate making workshop. I am totally inspired to practice what I've learned. The teacher was amazing sharing her knowledge, experience and passion. It would be impossible to leave this workshop without improving one's skilks and knowledge, not to mention a deeper understanding. I can't recommend this workshop more highly. Thank you and congratulations on attaining such high standards. Definitely worth investing in.
  • 5/5 from Alison Pritchard, attended Sep 2026: My Support Worker did this Course together we had so much fun and learnt so much about how using good quality chocolate what is in it and the cheap chocolate in the Supermarket are so different. We made an Assortment of Different Chocolates and were given a Recipe book which I will be using for Xmas and where you can get the good quality chocolate from to make from home. The teacher was so lovely and explained everything step by step did demonstrations of things so it was easy to follow and the group of people in our group were all really lovely and supported each other. It is set out in a Relaxing environment and I highly recommend you do this course and the best thing was you got to take home your box of chocolates you made.

I'm excited to use all the techniques I've learned :)

  • 4/5 from Vivian Lee, attended Jun 2025: The teacher Sal was fantastic. She was clear in her explanations and had fun along with out group of school mums just out for a bit of a giggle and learn something useful at the same time. Would def recommend. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars was that the space was a little unusual for a cooking thing (something the teacher didn't have control over). It was more like an office setting. However very clean and comfortable, and we had what we needed to make chocolates. Nevertheless... it was fun and engaging.
  • 5/5 from Harrison Whelan, attended May 2025: Sal was a very friendly and informative instructor who made every moment of the chocolate making session fun!
