Our Story

We are an independent business that started life in January 2012, spending five years in Exeter before relocating (lock, stock & barrel) to Sidmouth in January 2017. We pride ourselves on our customer service, the quality of our products, and our product knowledge. We also like to be a little bit different, stocking and making things in-house that you just don't find in too many places elsewhere. We hope you like what you find.

Want To Place An Order?

Order & Collect / Mail Order

You can order from our renowned TakeAway Menu (yes, you read that correctly - the items on it are numbered and everything!) which lists everything that "lives" in our 300+ jars. 

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. 


CHOCOLATES BY POST

We provide a "Chocolates By Post" service.

A box of either 12 or 24 luxury chocolates chosen by us (or you) from our loose selection and posted to anywhere in the UK, together with a gift card with your message, for £21.50 for the 12 box or £35.00 for the 24 box, including p&p.
