How does the chocolate fountain work?
Chocolate is gradually melted in the stainless steel bowl and then the
precision stainless steel auger re circulates the warm chocolate up through
the fountain and back down over the stainless steel tiers.
Do I have to assemble
and man it myself?
No, we offer a fully managed service. At least two uniformed attendants will
deliver, assemble and manage the full event. When your event is over we will disassemble
and take the Chocolate Fountain, used skewers and serviettes away.
What type of chocolate do you
use?
High quality Callebaut Belgian chocolate with a high cocoa or butter
content. Choose from a range of flavours, including Milk, Dark, White,
Lemon, Orange, Strawberry and Cappuccino plus many others.
Can you supply
Free Trade or Organic chocolate?
Yes we can, however there would be a slight increase in price.
How long can the
chocolate fountain run for?
Flowing time is usually 2-3 hours, plus at least 1½ hours set up and ½ hour
to disassemble. If you would like the fountain to run longer (for an
additional charge), please let us
know in advance.
Are dips included in the
quoted price?
Yes – the price includes a choice of five dips. We will be happy to provide
further dips if required, although we have found from experience that 5 are
sufficient.
You can choose from strawberries, marshmallows, fudge, bananas, Turkish
delight, profiteroles with fresh cream, pineapple, crystallised fruit, dried
fruit, Satsumas, and even exotic fruits marinated in alcohol. In fact
anything edible that goes with chocolate. We would strongly advise not to
use anything crumbly.
It could do, however, our trained operators will take care of any spillages
and keep the table looking as clean as it was at the beginning of the
evening.

What would happen if I stick my fingers or head in the chocolate?
Sorry, we know it is hard to resist, but if you do, because of hygiene
regulations, we would have to switch the fountain off and clear away,
therefore spoiling the evening for the hosts and the other guests. Why not
just stick to the fabulous dips provided?
Can the chocolate fountain be used in the open?
It is not suitable for use in the open air, because of wind disrupting the
flow and temperature of chocolate; however, we have had successful events in
marquees.
What drinks can go into the Champagne fountain?
These fountains are very versatile and can serve any beverage required
including Champagne, fruit juice, punch or wine. Should you fill the
fountain with a smooth orange juice, you can offer your guests orange juice
from the iced fountain, Champagne from chilled ice buckets or a mixture of
both for Bucks Fizz. All our fountains are supplied complete with a trained
uniformed attendant who will not only greet and serve your guests from the
fountain, but will also serve other beverages you may wish to make available
to your guests whilst we are running the chocolate fountain.

How long is the hire of the Champagne fountain?

Who supplies the glasses and beverages?
Glasses and beverages are supplied by the hirer or the venue.
