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 great gift for our gardening friend. The only issue (regarding it being a gift) was that there were a few small bits of chocolate loose in the box. We easily undid the lid and got rid of the bits before we gave it. The problem was very minor so I have put that it wasn't damaged.

We purchased the ginger platter. we felt that the product was well presented but the chocolate-coated ginger would be better if the ginger pieces were larger. we also felt that the chrystallised ginger was too sweet

I was pleased to be able to find vegan chocolates for a Christmas gift. It would have been even better if I could have found organic vegan chocolates in plastic-free packaging. Thanks and hope to see this product next time I'm looking.

Nice chocolates bought as a gift at Xmas. However a bit pricey for a small box and then p&p ontop of that.

Hello, I am Mrs Keeley, and I would like to congratulate you on your lovely chocolates. As I am diabetic I can really enjoy them without paying the consequences of skyhigh blood sugars. The only thing I would say is that maybe there could be a little more variation with the fillings

The chocolates were of the highest quality according to my sister to whom they were given. The service was fine as the postal strikes put a strain on companies trying to get goods to the customer within the time scale expected.

I made my purchase with you online for dark chocolates that were not available from other sources. They were to be sent to other people as a Christmas gift. The ordering process was straightforward and the gift arrived safely and in good time. A very pleasing outcome. I look forward to ordering from you again. My 4 stars rather than 5 are indicative only that I have not yet eaten any of your products and not as a criticism. Thank you again. Best wishes for success in 2023.
