I just wanted to say thank you to yourself and Jax for a fantastic day yesterday. The children (and the adults) loved making and tasting the chocolate, and really enjoyed learning about it, and the difference between high and poor quality chocolate! They were also really delighted to go home with the bag of chocolate they had made as well.

Winford Primary School, Bristol
Many thanks for the chocolate workshop last week. It was fab! The whole experience was excellent - the calm setting, getting to know new people in such an informal way, learning new skills and eating chocolate! A perfect way to spend a Friday morning! I was so proud of my chocolate creations... although I must say most of what I made has now been eaten! My daughter and husband were very impressed with what I made and loved eating the chocolates too. I will definitely recommend the workshop to friends and family in Bristol and further afield who want a special experience for someone else or a treat for themselves!

You were right - we absolutely loved your chocolate workshop today! Thank you so much for an amazing morning, both Lauren and I are delighted with our chocolate creations. It was a pleasure to meet you and you made us feel so relaxed and welcome. I hope that your son had a good day at school and he continues with his entrepreneurial success. I will be telling friends and colleagues about your workshops and hope that Lauren will be able to book with a friend for her 18th birthday in December. Will get back to you as soon as possible. Once again thank you for today,

Thank you. Wow. The students were buzzing today and all went home and told their parents how amazing you were. We would love to work with you again - and do even more wonderful things with you if we can? You could really work wonders with some of our students as all of them are not so easy. July 2019

...on behalf of Anna and myself I would like to thank you and your team for a most enjoyable chocolate tart afternoon on Sunday. We so loved dipping, dabbling, paddling and puddling for a couple of hours and have also sampled much of our delicious handiwork since. I shall certainly recommend you to anyone who wants a real choccy experience!

Just wanted to say thank you for yesterday. Me and the girls had a wonderful time! Your kitchen and our surroundings made for a lovely atmosphere, and we had so much fun getting messy with all that yummy chocolate. Being 34 weeks pregnant it was so tricky to find a fun activity we could do for my birthday and yesterday was perfect. Thank you.

Beth Rapson, March 2018
Thank you so much for yesterday. All 8 girls enjoyed themselves enormously , as did Alice and I. Your instruction was clear and so informative about an unknown world to me, even with many years in kitchens around the world.

Spent a wonderful time yesterday with my daughter Cassie at the Chocolate Tart. Lisa is a lovely lady and explains everything so well. Would thoroughly recommend. Came home with some delicious chocolates.

Just to say thank you for my very entertaining and instructive afternoon in the art of 'real' chocolate making. Bob Lewis, Oct 2017
I just want to say thank you so much for looking after us all on Saturday! Hardly anybody had heard of you before they arrived and they all loved it. Some are even talking about coming to you again! It worked really well as a 'hen' activity and we all had a lovely pub lunch afterwards, too. We appreciated you ringing them to say we were running a bit late! I brought different groups of friends and family to the workshop with me, including my mum and future mother-in-law, but I felt the workshop was perfect for everyone.

Becky Crump
We all had an absolutely amazing weekend so thank you so much for making your part of it just brilliant, you seriously exceeded any expectations with how much you managed to cram in for us and how much we learnt (and ate!).

Carly Bryan, February 2017

Thanks so much for the chocolate-making party last weekends – the girls loved it, and we have enjoyed eating the things we made. You made it all such fun for them, it really was an ideal 14thbirthday celebration.

Kate Tilling, January 2017
Thank you for an amazing 3 hour session - it was really brilliant and we both thoroughly enjoyed it, not to mention enjoying with our families all the yummy chocolates we came away with.

Annette Lord, January 2017
Hi Lisa just wanted to say a massive thank you for yesterday. We all had an amazing time, loved every minute. But most of all thank you for making it possible for my mum to do this. Thought you might like the photos to let other 82 year olds know that even with wonky legs and hands it's still possible to be in chocolate heaven 😀😀 wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas. Hope to see you again next year xxxx

Jennifer Rogman, Dec 2016
Just a quick email to thank you for the lovely afternoon we spent making Christmas chocolates with you, we both had a great time. You looked after my elderly mother with such kindness and attention; she was thrilled to become a chocolatier at 81!

Pip Turner, Dec 2016
Thank you so much for yesterday morning's workshop. It was hugely enjoyable for all. Everyone was thrilled with their chocolate and Faith loved having her family and friends there to share the fun. Hope I get back to do it again some day!!

I am writing on behalf of our teachers, students and the Enrichment Team! Thank you for taking our students for a class during enrichment week, we had fantastic feedback from our students and teachers alike. It was great to hear how much they had enjoyed it. If only we had been able to have a taster of the end results!

Nolan Hibberd
Thank you very much for an excellent session yesterday - Gill and I enjoyed it very much. I am trying to ration my consumption of the chocolates made but the smell of chocolate in my kitchen is almost too much to resist - don't know how you cope with that delicious aroma when you are working.

Penny Bunker
Thank you so very much for the wonderful morning of chocolatey-ness!Susan and I had a great time learning, making and most importantly tasting!You gave us information, sharing your passion for this amazing substance in such a delightful way that we came away with our heads buzzing, feeling that even we could conquer chocolate!

Thanks for such a great afternoon of chocolate escapism

Jenny Warner, March 2016
We had a lovely relaxing, creative and informative morning at The Chocolate Tart. As well as showing us simple, but effective, techniques to make and package beautiful and delicious chocolates, Lisa was full of practical tips and able to explain the complex chemistry which will hopefully enable us to make them just as well at home. Her knowledge and passion for chocolate came across very clearly. We came away with lots of lovely chocolates which even impressed my grumpy 14 year old son! Highly recommended.

Tania Lake, Jan 2016
Our office had a really lovely day chocolate making. The chocolate moulds were particularly fun and the chocolate boxes were very impressive. I have kept mine for Christmas but I know many of the team were unable to wait that long!! Many thanks to you and your team. The day was well organised and you really helped with the planning too.

Alison Cowley, Knorr Bremse
Had a fantastic time this morning making Christmas baubles and treats. You made it so much fun and easy to do. Thank you.

A rather belated but big thank you for our wonderful shoes and handbag workshop on 14th. We all enjoyed it so much, especially the birthday girl, and we were all delighted with our results. I will not hesitate to recommend your courses to others hope to come to do another myself at some point.

Dorn Charles
Thank you so much for Gaia's fantastic party today. We all had a really great time and I was most impressed with the chocolates that we've all brought home and especially the bars you made for Gaia. We haven't actually eaten any of it this evening as it looks so pretty (and the kids were quite full of chocolate already!)

Philippa and Gaia Rowe
I have been three times for my birthday now and it's the BEST part of my day! It's my all time favourite thing on my birhtday. I can't wait until next year!

Issy Age 13
Just had a very enjoyable 3 hr session at the school. Not only learnt some of the basics of cooking with chocolate but amazingly how to make three types of finished product; twice coated truffles, variously topped florentines and moulded animals with coloured features. A cleverly put together and run course by Lisa who was so helpful and encouraging that everyone in the room joined in with chat from the off. An excellent place to learn if you like chocolate.

Ned and Jane Kelly
Totally worth the trip all the way from Nelson Bay Australia!!! Thank you to google and Lisa!! it was great to meet you - and you were right to send us to Glastonbury and Stonehenge on our way to The Chocolate Tart.

Paula Head and family
I had such a great time on Saturday! I will definitely be trying to make some chocolates at home. Was lovely to meet you and the other girls on the course.

Jenna Ann Lewis, June 2015
Thank you again for a fabulous course yesterday. I can't wait to start making my own chocolates!
