It was fairly obvious that this was going as a gift as the delivery and billing address were both different with different names and yet I had to actually message the person it was going to (an elderly family member) to let them know it was from me. I think they enjoyed them but it came in a huge box for such a small item and I think there was a lot of confusion and disappointment. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone looking to purchase as a gift but if buying for yourself definitely!

Bought some vegan chocolate eggs for Easter, fair taste, pricey for what I have received.

I didn't feel that I was buying something special because, at first sight, the box looked lightweight and cheap. It didn't have the 'look' I would like to have seen when spending over £1 on every chocolate. That is one star taken off, the other was the chocolates, yes they are nice but not very nice or good, just chocolate, although I presume of good quality, but are they really worth over £1 each? That was why I took off another star.

These chocolates were given as a special present to my wife. The chocolate is not fresh, she tells me. Is this from stock left over from Christmas? I am very sorry to have to complain like this as we have always found Friars to be excellent in the past.

I ordered 4 boxes of macaroons for next day delivery which arrived perfectly. They were gifts for FOUR separate people and the boxes looked beautiful. I would give 5 stars for this. I added a small message to each however on receiving them today there was only 1 card in the delivery. Apparently only 1 card is included PER order! Why would I give the message card to ONE person? My order clearly stated it was for speedster people. Therefore if I had ordered 4 separate boxes @ £5.50 each and then paid a delivery charge for each one I could have had a small gift message for each one. Whilst this may seem a minor detail and I can fully respect the time and cost to your company this diminished MY first shopping experience with you.

My family were gifted a box of Christmas chocolates from Friar's. I thought they were delicious, so I bought some more (different boxes) but I was disappointed with the taste of many of them: they were quite sickly and I only liked a few of them: the honey crunch, praline milk and I think the dark choc coffee ones. Not sure how much this can be helped but they got a bit messed up in transit, and there were little bits of chocolate all over the boxes & on the outsides of the packaging.

A little disappointed as the Mo n Cheri chocolates were advertised as expiring in June 2023 but were only dated March 2023. this meant that some of the chocolates could not be eaten in time as they were a gift. It also means that we are wary about ordering anymore if the dates shown are not the dates sent.

I cannot review the products as I live in France and your company does not deliver to France. Furthermore it was difficult setting up an account and payment as your company does not accept customers outside the UK or credit cards from banks outside the Uk. It is a problem.

The purchases - chocolates & wine plus Turkish delight - were a gift which were very well received and with the Turkish delight being declared "the best I have ever had". However, it was very disappointing that, despite me putting a gift message on both purchases, neither had any with them when they were delivered.

They were a gift and recipient said they were divine. Reduced stars as I paid for quicker postage and they took ages to arrive ( I know at Christmas couriers were stretched due to Royal Mail strike .

I always award Friars 5 stars but on this occasion I can only award 3 as a few of Dark chocolate cherry liqueurs had dried out. This will not stop me buying in the future as this is the first time this has ever happened
