The Chocolate Museum

A great afternoon activity for kids and adults! Plus the chocolate is quite tasty. It took us about 40 minutes to complete the seven step process. For each child was £9.50 and for a child & 1 adult was £15.00. When my two kids (7 & 9) were all finished we walked out with 11 chocolate lollipops and 24 candy bites. The only down fall is this place is small and a birthday party was going on when we did the “drop in” chocolate making experience. In the future I would call before hand to avoid the noise and commotion of large groups. We do plan to return again!

The museum itself is just one room with some cool artefacts and information. But they offer chocolate classes in the shop upstairs which was a reasonably priced fun afternoon and we ended up taking home a tonne of really tasty chocolate we'd made. Thanks for a lovely afternoon!

1) the level of cleanliness is below standards - we are not making pottery, we are making food!
2) Ivy was giving all the participants some chocolates to taste with her hands after she touched her clothes and her face without gloves.
3) Ivy was not passionate at all - didn’t even mention that there was a museum to visit.
4) the place was freezing throughout the 2 hours we have been there. We had to keep our jacket on.
5) the place looks unkept and in need of refurbishment or at least a deep clean including the glass windows you see from the streets.
6) for 40£/person you would expect certain standards.

Overall we enjoyed making the chocolates but we were constantly apprehensive about the poor hygiene.

I don't bake, so this was a unique and fun experience for me. The workshop includes shaping ganache, tempering chocolate, coating and decorating. It was overall fun. They also have an interesting and educational gallery at the basement.

My daughter and I had a great time making our chocolates in the workshop. And they were delicious too. Very friendly lady who runs the workshop

Small private run museum, with a brief description of chocolate history from the earliest times to early XIX century.

Not a bad place to spend an hour wondering around displays.

I was there in a working capacity as I work in a school (I am currently in year six) and I thought it was a most informative, interesting and ultimately Chocolate/Cocoa laden experience. We learned some of the Maya history of Chocolate and to make our own from Cocoa Nibs and other ingredients and to ultimately take away our own hand made Cocoa creations! Amazing.

A thoughtless, expensive, dirty, uninspired experience. The ‘museum’ is a dingy basement with little to no information on the history of chocolate. The workshops are dire. The quality of the chocolate you work with is WELL below edible standard. This place should close down and they should send apologies to all us poor folk who wasted their time going there.
