Not only do I make delicious Handcrafted Belgian Chocolate products such as bespoke wedding favours, but I also teach the art of chocolate making. Why not visit me at my chocolate snug and create your own chocolate goodies, package them up and take them home to impress your family and friends. I also do home parties and school visits for fun workshops.

    Fantastic party!
    Fantastic party! Lovely lady running it and everything smelt of warm chocolate. My daughter and her friends had a great time. The party is spent making chocolates that form your party bag/box so minimal effort for parents.. what’s not to love?

    An exceptional workshop experience from beginning to end
    We had a wonderful time in the chocolate snug. Kerry was friendly, knowledgeable and supplied plenty of topping treats for us to ‘try out’ various combinations before committing them to our very own bars! It was interesting to learn about the chocolate making process and we were absolutely blown away to be able to uniquely and beautifully, package our plentiful creations. We would thoroughly recommend this workshop experience. Thank you Kerry!

    Perfect “family and friends”time, in the cabin x
    I had heard great things about Kerry’s chocolate cabin; friends of mine had been to children’s parties previously. I decided to book a kids session for my friends and family’s kids, as Christmas presents. We made a mock up “golden ticket” to the chocolate cabin! Ages ranged from 3 -14. Kerry kept all the kids fully engaged throughout the session and they all absolutely loved it. It was so lovely to see them so focused. I loved the fact they had to design their boxes and choc bar wrapper too. Great for practicing those fine motor skills (for the youngest). “I had the best time ever”- my 7 year old niece on the car journey home. The chocolate was delicious, needless to say it was all eaten within 24 hours! Thanks so much Kerry, we all had a lovely afternoon and I’ll be booking on again very soon.

    Great Workshop
    I treated myself to an afternoon Chocolaté Workshop. It was a relaxed fun experience. Kirsty showed us how to temper chocolate and then we made a box of truffles as well as 3 bars with different decorations. A great afternoon and it all tasted yummy!

I booked 2 spots on Kerry’s Salted Caramels and Bars masterclass as an Xmas gift for my chocolate loving partner and it was truly brilliant. 3 hours of knowledge and fun with Kerry being a fantastic teacher and host. We got to learn about some of the finer details of chocolate making and had our own goodies to take away with us afterwards! I’d thoroughly recommend the masterclass to anyone that’s considering it and could see it being just as fun for children as it was for myself and my partner!

Thank you Kerry for a wonderful afternoon and experience!

A great gift..a superb afternoon learning techniques on how to temper chocolate and make chocolate truffles, even better when we could eat them. It was great fun even my husband enjoyed it and got 'stuck' in! Many thanks to Kerry and I definitely recommend you try this.

Kerry recently came to our school to run chocolate workshops for our children to enhance our current Geography topic. The sessions were fantastic and the children were really engaged throughout. Thank you very much for giving the children such a fantastic opportunity to learn about, taste and make chocolate!

Had my son's 4th birthday celebrations here. Him and his friends had a fantastic time and it was lovely that they had lots of chocolate goodies to take home.
They all got a chance to stir and taste the chocolate and make different creations. Highly recommend and grateful to Kerry for making it special for my boy!

We booked this for my daughters 7th birthday. I had only heard good things but it even exceeded my expectations.
My daughter chose Alice in Wonderland theme and with only 48 hours notice, Kerry came up with some great ideas.
The children all had the best time. Kerry is absolutely great with them, really engages with them all and keeps them interested and entertained. Couldn't fault it and now want to book one for myself and friends.

Booked a private party for my mothers birthday. Real mix of ages including 6 adults and 2 3year olds. Kerry was brilliant, she tailored the session so all of us could be involved. We loved leaning and making all the different chocolates and came away extremely happy with our experience. We will be returning and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for something a bit different to do :)

We bought this as a present for my mother in law. We had a great time, my kids, 5 and 7, loved the willy wonka theme and their grandparents loved being able to share the same experience. Kerry was a great host and teacher!

Thank you so much to The Crafy Chocolatier! My daughter had an absolutely amazing Birthday Party today. The party was 1.5 hours long and the kids were kept busy for the whole duration. They all left with big smiles on their faces and their amazing creations! We will definitely come back!!

There was nothing Kerry hadn’t thought of. A lovely drink on arrival to the Charlie and the chocolate factory music in the background. (It was my favourite book and film so I was really moved)
Kerry is full of energy and enthusiasm and with our bunch of friends this was an absolutely magical afternoon. I can not recommend a workshop enough.
