They can write a message on a piece of chocolate for a birthday or anniversary. £4.
I thought of putting it on top of a white iced cake.
Wonder how they do it.

Quality chocolates! 1st September 2008

0 found this helpful

Thorntons is well-known for its excellent quality chocolates, and this small Thorntons shop is no different.

Admittedly, it is a bit too small for my liking - a bigger shop would have even more chocolate! But the shop is full of chocolates, fudge, toffee, fruit jellies, and more! You can even buy ice cream (with a choice of several flavours!)

The chocolates are mouth-wateringly delicious. My only problem is my allergy to nuts (not too severe, but there all the same) and unfortunately, the staff can't always assure me that certain chocolates are completely nut-free. But they do helpfully point out certain things that they know to be nut-free. In fact, the staff are very nice and helpful on the whole.

There are many days when I'll walk through Brent Cross and see a queue for the Thorntons ice cream that pretty much blocks everyone's path! It just goes to show how good the ice cream is as well.

Thorntons would be amazingly brilliant, if it weren't for the prices of these great sweets. A little bit cheaper and I'd never leave! But as it is, Thorntons is good for a gift for someone special, or a treat for yourself. But definitely not for everyday chocolate needs. Much too expensive for that.

First place for gifts 28th August 2008

0 found this helpful

Chocolates are always appreciated as gifts, and this is one of the first places I go to when a friend has a birthday, purely because it's pretty good quality chocolate, without being ridiculously expensive. Another advantage is that you can buy boxed sets and pick a selection if you have favourites (which you will!). The staff are very friendly, and are happy to wrap your chocolates, or personalise an easter egg or other present for that special someone. Another bonus is that this store has an ice cream counter, so you can always grab a cone of their tangy lemon ice cream after a day of shopping.
