What is a chocolate
fountain?
It is basically a 44
inch tall chocolate fondue fountain. The base of the fountain houses a
heating element where a reservoir of 10kg of chocolate is gently warmed up.
Once melted, the warm chocolate is drawn up through the centre to the top of the
fountain where it then cascades over the tiers and down into the base,
completely covering the 4 tiers and creating sheets of warm flowing chocolate,
ready to dip into.
Will a Chocolate Fountain be suitable for my event?
Yes! A chocolate fountain is the latest must-have
centre-piece. As long as your event is indoors (marquee acceptable), a
chocolate fountain will be suitable. We cater for bridal / baby showers,
parties, weddings, graduation balls, charity & corporate events, exhibitions etc..
What is included?
A
Chocolatier/Associate will be present to set up the machinery and assist you and
your guests throughout your event. We also supply 10kg of chocolate in your choice
of flavours (Milk, White, Plain, Orange, Caramel, Strawberry, Lemon, Cappuccino,
Hazelnut Milk Choc, Honey Milk Choc),
unlimited selection of dips of your choice, skewers, napkins (available in a variety of colours). We
also supply fresh flowers to match your own choice of flowers and
colours.
Can I use my own
dipping foods?
Yes, but there are foods that are not suitable (ie. crumbly biscuits). We can advise on what is
best suited.
What will I need to supply?
The
machine and chocolate will weigh approximately 45kg. we will therefore require a
sturdy table, approximately 4ft in diameter with access to a standard 13 amp
socket. Your venue will assist you with this. Please feel free to provide
table cloth /covering to suit your colour scheme. Please note that serving
plates are not supplied as standard. Your choice of venue may be able to
accommodate should you require plates instead of napkins.
How long will a Chocolate Fountain Last?
Depending on how many guests you have, it will last indefinitely as the
chocolate depletes, we will continue to top up the fountain to ensure a smooth
flow during your event. We will arrive an hour prior to you requiring the
fountain to enable us to set up the machinery, chocolate & dips.
Do
I need to pay a deposit?
A 50%
non-refundable deposit is payable to secure any booking with the balance payable
at least 4 weeks prior to your event. We accept most major credit and debit
cards online via Paypal’s Secure Server, alternatively, we also accept cheques
or cash.
How soon do I need to book?
This
is fast becoming the most popular centre-piece and in some cases replaces the
more traditional wedding cake. We would therefore recommend you book the
Chocolate Fountain for your event as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
You can book as far in advance as required.

endeavour to supply you with a quotation and further details within 48 hours of
