La Chocolatrice - Durham

Received my order for Christmas and oh my it’s delicious chocolate, and presented beautifully. Much better than mass produced rubbish masquerading as chocolate on the supermarket shelves. A pistachio elf paired with a flat white is match made in heaven

I went today with two friends and it was a huge disappointment. The instructor was professional and great. Three of us went in as a group, were allocated the same amount of tools and chocolate as those came in pairs. When complained to the owner, Zoe, who deliberately lied to my face that we had more chocolate in the bowl than the other two pairs. But I wasn’t blind, I compared, we didn’t. We had the same amount of cream in a jar like other pairs, and the same amount of chocolate. Zoe wouldn’t want to prove me wrong nor providing any evidence, only accused me of spoiling the workshop regardless the fact that I came out of the workshop to talk rather than making a sense in front of other customers. Zoe called me rude and said no one ever complained about the workshop. So I shouldn’t Zoe said it was recommended to come in pairs - nothing like that was suggested on the webpage as attached. No one contacted us beforehand to say it’s the best to come in pairs. After that I was suggested to leave my friends and leave the workshop and would be given the refund for myself, as Zoe said I would ruin the workshop for the others and shouldn’t stay until the end just to give a one star review. I don’t want to exchange honesty for money tho. Here is the one star review - the one and only star was for the patient instructor. The workshop cost £142.5. The attached photo x3 was the amount of chocolate we got.

A great workshop, friendly, informal and we have so many goodies to take away. Thank you all so much for a great way to start the festive season, with the advent calendar workshop.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at the Advent Calendar Making Workshop! The location is easy to find with free parking just across the street, making the whole experience convenient from the start.

The workshop itself was engaging, creative, and, most importantly, delicious! The team provided everything we needed, from aprons to a variety of high-quality chocolates for crafting our calendars and choxcolate lollies!. Amy and Zoey, our instructors, were knowledgeable, fun and passionate.
It was also a treat to snack on chocolate as we worked, we got some great hot chocolate and some chocolate orange crispies—definitely a highlight! You also get a cheeky discount after the workshop for some more tasty chocolate! can’t recommend this workshop enough Looking forward to trying their other seasonal workshops!

Had a great time making truffles with my son. Ayleigh was a very good teacher and was very knowledgeable. We came away with loads if chocolate and we would definitely recommend doing this.

What a fabulous way for the Jameson Girls to spend a Sunday afternoon! Quality family time and a super host, Ayleigh! The whole atmosphere was relaxed and the chocolate truffles and goodies we made were all delish, thanks to Ayleigh’s clear and super friendly direction! Thanks also to Zoe, who opened the shop for us where further chocolate delights were purchased!

I recently did a workshop here and honestly it was the most fun experience!! The girls were so lovely and knowledgeable and my family had an amazing time. We took home lots of chocolate and even popped into the shop to pick up some Christmas treats! Would 10/10 recommend.
