[see below for details of our small fountain, available for hire for home use]

WHAT IS A CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN?

A chocolate fountain is also known as a chocolate fondue. However, it is more modern and attractive than a traditional chocolate fondue. It is certainly more spectacular. Our chocolate fountain is more than40" high and makes a wonderful addition to any spread. It will be the talking point for months afterwards.

The chocolate is heated in the basin. It is then carried to the top tier by an auger (screw thread) in the central column. When the top tier overflows, the chocolate falls down as a liquid curtain onto the next tier, which is slightly larger. This carries on until all of the tiers are covered in chocolate, presenting the guests with several "curtains" of chocolate into which they can dip their strawberries, marshmallows etc.

10kg of chocolate should be enough for 200-300 guests. Additional chocolate can be added when required; we will discuss your individual requirements AND WILL ENSURE THAT THE CHOCOLATE DOES NOT RUN OUT! The fountain itself will run for hours on end. There is no need to worry about it lasting for the entire event as the fountain keeps the chocolate soft and at a constant temperature at all times.

SMALL CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN FOR HIRE

We have small fountains available for hire from our factory in Minehead. They work in exactly the same was as our full sized fountain with a heater keeping the chocolate melted, an auguer lifting the chocolate from the bowl and the chocolate creating "curtains" to enable you to dip your delicacies. The main difference is that this one holds about 1kg of chocolate, as opposed to about 10kg! Melted chocolate can be added to the bowl as many times as is neccesary so there is no fear of running out. Costs: The hire charge is £25 which includes 1kg of chocolate of your choice (plain, milk or white). Extra chocolate can be purchased on a sale or return basis at £10 per kg. Contact us to book yours and avoid disappointment!
