“Normally very good but the chocolate sent on this occasion had a bloom in it so I am not confident it had been stored correctly or was fresh,”

“Nice chocolates, however not any better than other brands and they are way more expensive. Definitely not value for money and chocolates just as nice can be found for a lot less.”

“Expensive chocolates beautifully presented but not sure they are value for money also postage adds on additional expense when weight of package does not justify the high postage charge”

“Signature Chocolates selection. I enjoyed the truffle part of this selection,particularly the Irish cream truffle.The rest i found rather boring in taste, particularly the Florentine and Sticky toffee pudding.Rather overpriced, and found the chocolate to be somewhat "stale" in taste. Probably would only order the Truffle selections again,if i can afford to.This selection could do with updating to make the chocolates better tasting.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Very much over priced for what they were”

“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.”
