"Thank you so much Lisa for a really wonderful morning! My mother and I attended a course just a few days ago and each left with 7 beautiful boxes of chocolates that we had made - I am so proud of myself! The course was both professional with lots of great tips as well as fun. I am no longer scared of tempering chocolate as you made it seem so easy and uncomplicated. Your attention to detail was so impressive and I loved the way that you made us all focus on our wrapping and presentation too. I really feel that I learnt a new skill - never again will I be buying chocolates to give friends (unless they are yours of course!)"

Thanks Lisa for such an enjoyable morning learning how to make the most amazing selection of chocolates. Both myself and my 2 daughters found the course both educational and fun. We haven't stopped telling our friends and sharing the yummy chocolates which we so beautifully packaged to bring home. We'll definately book another course soon.

''I was promised prior to visiting The Chocolate Tart that i would leave with chocolates that i had hand made myself - which I struggled to believe as I am useless in the kitchen ! The workshop when I arrived was fantastic and Lisa was a true star. I moulded, filled, flavoured, shaped and decorated my many styles of chocolates and had alot of fun doing so. Lisa was full of great advice, knowledgable, friendly and approchable. You get to take home all of the chocolates that you have made and they are DELICIOUS ! I would definately recommend The Chocolate Tart to everyone I know!"

"We had a fantastic evening with Lisa making halloween chocolates, hand rolled truffles and scrumptious ghosts. All in all the evening was spiffing I had a fab time the best part of the day was when we had to make the eye balls. It was a great stress reliever as well and brilliant fun to do something different to the meal out."
James Clarke - Halloween October 2010
"CHOCOLATE WORKSHOP!! 3 and a half hours of all the chocolate you can eat, all the wine you can drink and a kilo of handmade chocolates to take home!! We started with hand rolled truffles, then dipped marzipan, next we chose moulds and decided what fondant flavours we wanted for our chocolate fondants (gillian made rose and geranium filled hearts, matt made lemon and apple pie filled pharoahs and i made sicilian lemon and raspberry filled domes) and finally we made knackelies (basically mini chocolate pizzas; tiny chocolate bases with yummy toppings like candied violets, hazelnuts and fudge pieces). mmmmmmmm!!! Then we packaged up all our little goodies, finished our glasses and trundled home, sugared up and happy!"

"I just wanted to say thank you for last week! It was fab! I appreciate you working with us on the event and dealing with the challenges that arose!"
Hannah Skehan, Chepstow Racecourse Aug 2010
"We had a fantastic evening with Lisa making chocolate animals, hand rolled truffles and scrumptious Florentines. What better way to unwind than deciding whether morello cherries or pistacios will make a tastier topping? It was a great stress reliever (providing you can keep your competitiveness under wraps !) and brilliant fun to do something different to the usual work meal out."

''I just wanted to say a big thank you for the marvellous time we had at the workshop last weekend. Derek and I enjoyed it so much and amazingly, have managed not to eat all of our chocs yet - the cats are in the fridge!
We have become quite evangelical about our experience, so all our friends, family and colleagues know about The Chocolate Tart and I hope will be making bookings to enjoy your workshops themselves. We will definitely be back and can't wait to learn even more from you.
Many thanks again and we look forward to visiting you in the future.''
Viv Cotterell May 2010
"What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon! We were greeted with a glass of wine and Lisa and her team taught us how to make truffles, chocolates with filled centres, Easter eggs and various other treats. The atmosphere was very relaxed, we could eat as much delicious leftover chocolate as we wanted and then got to take our creations home with us. All in all highly recommended for any chocolate lovers"
"Not being artistic at all I loved the Easter egg and truffle making workshop! I was amazed at how well it all turned out and Lisa has lots of ideas to keep you motivated. I shall definitely be recommending this to friends as a relaxing and fun thing to do. Thanks Lisa!"
"Thank you Lisa for an amazing workshop this afternoon! We all had such a great time, came away with beautiful Easter Eggs we were all really proud of, and felt satisfyingly full of chocolate! An amazing experience, which I'd whole-heartedly recommend to anyone"
"Thank you Lisa for a wonderful day of chocolate making! I will definately recommend these workshops to all my friends! It was just fantastic!"
"I took my sister to a class for her birthday. It was the most fun I've had in a long time and it was such a sense of achievement to take so many beautiful chocolates home. I wrapped many as presents and ended up eating the myself, they were just too good to give away! The class was really relaxed and I learnt so much and was full of chocolate by the end of the class. It was such a good experience and both me and my sister will be back I'm sure! thankyou!"
"I just don't have the words to describe what it feels like to hold a pool of liquid chocolate in your hands - one hand dips in and out of a bowl of molten chocolate, the other hand cupped full of silken chocolatey warmth while the other hand rolls cream truffles from your very palm .... ah, hmmm, yes, three hands would have been very useful ... It is a bit of a juggling act getting to know your chocolate, but by the end of the evening we all went home with an fantastic array of beautiful chocolates gift wrapped, gift boxed and be-ribboned. What an experience!"
"The chocolate making workshop was the perfect way to thank my friends for all they did for my wedding. The workshop at the back of Lisa's house is beautiful, has lovely decor and is clean and welcoming. The workshops itself was pure indulgence, great fun and we learnt so many skills that are easy to take away and practice at home. Such a fab morning out!"
"You will never know what real chocolate tastes like until you have attended a workshop here, prepare to have your taste buds blitzed! Lisa took the workshop my wife and I were on and her energy, enthusiasm and passion for chocolate was a total joy. The course was a Christmas gift from a friend, thoughtful and original. Thoroughly recommended."
"Thank you Lisa for a wonderful three hours. This was a birthday present. I learnt how to make three types of delicious chocolates and how to package them. You were friendly, relaxed yet professional thoughout the session, I learnt so much and very proud of my creations,especially my Easter egg.I also enjoyed the chocolate tasing a the end. Well done."
"We spent an absolutely fantastic morning with Lisa on one of her chocolate classes... worth every penny! Extremely well organised and professional but so much fun at the same time - what more could a girl want: a glass of wine at 10am with unlimited chocolate throughout the course and a massive goody bag to take away! I'll definitely be back!"
