“Two stars is for their service. With the exception of their fruit range which is novel and interesting I was bitterly disappointed by the rest of my expensive order. The signature range, and ginger range with heavy, sickly and simply nothing special. Given the reviews I was disappointed.”

“Too expensive for size of package”

Helpful Report

Hello, Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear that you thought the item was too expensive. We do include the number of chocolates and the weight in the listing to give an indication of what will be received. The vegan chocolates do tend to be more expensive due to the process used to produce the chocolates. Kind Regards, Friars Customer Service

“Had the pink meringue kisses, at least half were broken! Very dissapointed as I wanted them for my daughters engagement cake, was lucky I got 7 or 8 good ones, so was fine.”

Hi Geraldine, Thank you for your review and we are sorry that half of the meringue kisses were broken when they arrived. Unfortunately this is a delicate item and although we do check the boxes before packing them they can, on occasion, arrive damaged. We will ensure the person who packed your order is made aware of the issue in case insufficient packaging was used. We are glad you were still able to decorate the cake and again are sorry that they did not arrive in a perfect condition. Kind Regards, Friars Customer Service.

“Very irritated as I went on to a site to buy chocolate free of palm oil. Ordered the chocolate in good faith, but then read the ingredients - they contain palm oil. Why are you advertising on a site that purports to sell products free of palm oil? Will not buy from you again. P Barrett”

Hi, I'm very sorry you are disappointed that these chocolates were not palm oil free. However we do not advertise them being free of palm oil. We do have a section on our website dedicated to confectionery which is palm oil free, this may be why you came across our website. Kind Regards Friars

Hi, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you are disappointed in the size of the liquor however, we do state the height of the product on the listing, to give an idea of the size. We are sorry one of the strings was missing, this must have become detached whilst packing your order. Kind Regards Friars Customer Service
