Menus are available to pick up in our shop or can be posted to you. Or, if you know we sell it, you can order it.
Order and pay over the phone, collect from the shop any time during opening hours.
Alternatively, we provide a mail order service, and can send (almost) any of our products, weighed out or pre-packaged, to you or to someone to whom you wish to send a gift. (There are certain items which cannot be mailed, due to the risk of damage, eg. chocolate bouquets.)
We use Royal Mail, and simply pass on to you the cost of the postage.
Payment with a debit/credit card can be made over the phone and will be taken at the time of ordering.

We provide a "Chocolates By Post" service.
