  • 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.

  • 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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!)

  • 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!

  • 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.

CORONA VIRUS INFO

Respecting government advice, The Chocolate Tart is now closed for workshops until further notice. 

Respecting the 2m social distancing rule it is not possible to host wrkshops for more than two people at a time. I am keen to offer workshops as soon as it is permitted to be allowed to do so. I am following the lead of restaurants and cafes. It is not financially viable for me to host workshops for just two people. If the rules change to 1.5m social distancing then I can accomodate four people safely in the workshop.

Anyone with vouchers that have already expired during lockdown or due to expire by 30th June can be assured that their vouchers are extended until the end of the year. However I will prioritise voucher holders booking with a paying friend or family member in order to flush new income into my crippled business. I hope that everyone will understand this delicate financial situation. I cannot offer workshops solely for voucher holders as this would bring no income and obviously each workshop has costs to my business. With this in mind, I plan to offer three hour workshops only when I do finally feel that it is safe to operate workshops again. I would ask that all customers wear face masks, are happy to have their temperature taken (for peace of mind of other students) and be mindful of the social distancing rules at that time.    

In light of the risks in offering any workshops at this time, I have diversified my chocolate school into production!

You can see what I have on offer in my online shop here www.thechocolatetart.co.uk/shop

I am making fresh chocolates every day for collection or local delivery. 
Chocolates can be posted anywhere in the UK. 

£12 three pack of various flavoured bars

£19.95 selection box including postage to UK address 

PLEASE ADVISE OF ANY DIETARY REQUIREMENYTS ON ORDERING. OTHERWISE ALL SELECTIONS WILL CONTAIN MILK AND NUT PRODUCTS.

DF and VEGAN AVAILABLE ON REQUEST

VOUCHERS

If you have a voucher, you will hope to attend once life returns to a safe normal. No one knows how soon this will happen.. I promise that I will do my absolute utmost to make this happen for anyone who has a voucher. Your voucher investment in my business means the world. Respecting my t and c's...... if you can persuade a paying friend to attend with you when you book in the future this will help enormously for me to continue trading!! As this will flush new funds into my business which will have been depleted during this time of crisis. Consider this a fabulous way to reconnect with your family and friends, whilst enjoying a chocolate class?!!! I will be so grateful if any voucher holders can bring a paying guest with them. Whilst social distancing rules stay at 2m I can only accomodate two students at any time in the workshop. This is not financially viable. If social distancing rules are relaxed to 1.5m I can fot four peole into the workshop which is a much more positive situation financially. Once this happens I will offer three hour workshops only initially and prioritise voucher holders who can bring a paying guest with them. Anyone with a one or two hour voucher can pay the excess if they would like to attend a three hour workshop.  

DEPOSITS

If you have currently only paid a deposit for your workshop then this is very positive!! Your balance payment will cover any ingredients and packaging costs and staff. 

 

Sending so much love to all of you for supporting my little chocolate business 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you to all of my lovely customers who have ordered chocolate gifts during this time of isolation. Your suport is genuinely feeding my family.
