My grandchildren was disappointed also with how small they were .I haven’t seen them for a year and wanted to surprise them as they love playing PlayStation. So I thought it would be a lovely surprise”

“I was wanting nut free chocolate for my son who has a SEVERE NUT ALLERGY. This means he is Anaphylactic and could possibly die if he ate nuts. The chocolates on your website said no nuts. When they arrived fortunately I checked the ingredients and they said 'May contain Almond, Walnut & Hazelnut traces.' Disappointed, and mislead customer! Please in future make sure your NUT FREE chocolates are COMPLETELY NUT FREE!”

Hello Sarah, thank you for your review and we are sorry that you are disappointed with the chocolates you received from us and that you felt mislead, especially with your concern due to your son's severe nut allergy. All the information on our products is on the listing on our website which includes the ingredients and traces. Our sales team would have been happy to answer any questions for you if you were not sure. We do not have a Nut Free section under our Dietary section of our website for this reason as we unfortunately cannot guarantee that the environment where all our products are packed are 100% nut free. We will however, pass your feedback on to our management team to see how we can make this clearer on the website. Again, we are sorry that you are disappointed and for your concern. Kind regards Friars Customer Services

“Excellent service, arrived in 48 hours. However the vegan chocolates, that I spent £40 on, were not nice. My husband couldn’t even stand the smell of them, they did smell odd. Not sure if we had a dodgy batch but they smelt old and the fillings were grainy. Wouldn’t buy again. The peanut butter and the orange creme were edible but the rest went in the recycling bin.”

“I have not opened the mixed liqueurs yet, but they look fine. The cherry liqueurs arrived damp and smeared on the bag they were in, but all were intact so I don’t know why, perhaps they ‘sweated’ in the cellophane bag. I could not gift them, so I ate one, unfortunately the stone had fragmented so there were gritty shards in it. Not great really. I threw the rest away. Sorry to leave this negative review, but perhaps there is a manufacturing issues”

“They were meant to be an xmas present for my wife but I was so disappointed with the size of the individual fruits, I decided to just open them. They taste was beautiful as expected and well presented. I just felt for a 454g box priced at £27.99 + p&p I expected more. I should have returned them really but couldn't be bothered with the hassle, but would not order again.”

“The sweets are expensive and as I had never tried them before, I thought I would test the ‘Milk Chocolate Buttons’ before placing an order. I was disappointed in the taste, and felt the chocolate tended to clog up in my mouth rather than melt. I didn’t find the chocolate creamy nor sweet. I actually checked the bag as I thought I may have been sent a form of Diet Chocolate. I didn’t enjoy it and would not buy it again.”

“The plastic box was very cheap considering Amazon had it for the same price in a colourful, decorated box. I only chose you over them because you offered next day delivery and I needed it quickly. However yours took 3 days to arrive and had chocolate crumbs all in the bottom corners. Not up to standard for someone's birthday present. Very overpriced and I regret buying it”

“I was really disappointed in my order as one of the items was purchased as a Christmas gift, but the best before date was January (even though the website stated all non sale items had a long date). I was obviously sold old stock. I was offered to return the chocolate at my own cost and they would send newer chocolate out. I declined as why would I want to spend more money on behalf of friars' error. I believe a goodwill gesture of my postage being refunded would have been more of an appropriate thing to do. As for the chocolates, they were a lot smaller than expected and disappointingly didn't live up to my expectations. Won't be purchasing again.”
