Indulgent treats 4th September 2008

0 found this helpful

I love this shop. In a nutshell it sells chocolate and sweets, big deal, but there is more to it than that. It is definitely superior chocolate and loads of choices. You feel very indulgent and spolit shopping in here. The whole place is very classy and special. They sell choccies for every occasion and always have new appropriate items for each forthcoming occasion such as Xmas, Halloween, Easter, Mothers Day, Fathers Day etc. The staff are always approachable. I often buy a small bar or bag of something to go with a main prezzie or gift voucher for a friend or family member's birthday, it just adds a special touch. My favourites are their chocolate raisins and vanilla fudge. They have lovely choc bars for small children. They ice a message or name on large chocolate items for free and also provide a gift wrap service, they even do wedding favours!

The Best Chocolate You Can Get 26th August 2008

This Thorntons shop, although small, stocks a wide range of chocolate. They also sell many flavours of ice cream.

Although more expensive than supermarkets, the chocolate here is much nicer and is much better as a gift. As well as normal chocolate bars, there is also 'themed' chocolate. For example, chocolate bunnies, chocolate champagne bottles and chocolate football boots. Any of these would make perfect gifts for loved ones, and there are many choices fitting different price points.

There are often promotional offers such as '4 for £2' on small bars of chocolate, however most items are quite high in price.

The service here is good, with friendly staff, and I would recommend to chocoholics.
