About Friars.co.uk:

It all started back in 1927 when William Long had the fabulous idea of opening a luxury chocolate shop in the picturesque town of Keswick, in the heart of the Lake District. He probably never dreamed it would still be in the same family nearly 100 years later.

In those early days the shop only opened during the summer months and it is believed William chose to winter in the Madeira sunshine. As you would expect the business has evolved in many ways since then, however certain principles remain since those early days.

Innovation – We were the first to make a prosecco truffle and then shortly after we followed with our fabulous gin truffle. More recently; although Easter eggs are synonymous with Easter, we decided to move away from the main stream and invented our famous hot cross bun truffle.

But all this only scratches the surface; we are also one of the first chocolate makers to start transitioning to 100% biodegrade packagingM as well as pioneering vegan milk and white chocolate...among other things.

Quality – Any new chocolate must meet certain requirements to get past our strict tasting panel. If one of the panel gives a score below 9/10 then we simply won’t offer the chocolate to our customers.

Longevity – We are immensely proud of our historic routes and in this fast moving, ever changing world, we take pride in our tradition and heritage. Our rose and violet creams are the same ones that William sold on that first day of opening, back in 1927. We have survived and prospered over the last 90 years and with the launch of our Ambleside store and an online service, we fully intend to be around for the next 100 years.

After all life is too short, so why settle for ordinary chocolate?

A delightful mix of chocolates with a good coffee taste. For our palates they were a little sweet but that is just a personal taste.

top quality chokkies are just a tad expensive

They were very nice chocolates but next time I think I would go for an assortment that included some soft fruit flavours like orange fondant, strawberry or raspberry to provide more variety in taste.

Purchased a box of bundles of wrapped chocolate tree decorations. Great price and quick delivery. A little disappointed that at least 6 of the bundles had come apart, as they are not too easy to tie back up. But that was just a small thing. Would buy again and recommend the company.

Can’t comment on taste as they are a present so they haven’t been opened yet. Was disappointed they weren’t in a box but they do look gorgeous

It’s a Xmas gift so choc’s not eaten yet; have brought before though and they were good. The box was a bit soiled underneath with residual product though which was disappointing.

The Friar’s tin came promptly. It was for Christmas and hasn’t been given yet but I assume it will be up to standard!

Fabulous marzipan chocolates. A present from my partner and I really enjoyed them. My only criticism is that I didn’t really like the praline ones - not a fan of praline and you could only really taste praline and not the marzipan Would purchase again if you could select which chocolates as the others were delicious
