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?

My dad has always loved New Berry Fruits but they are difficult to get on the high street so I was delighted to be able to get them from you for an additional Christmas present. I shall be ordering more for special days.

The manufacturers have changed the recipe from times gone by. There used to be a very pleasant liquid centre contained within a sugar globule - this has now gone and what flavouring there is gets lost in the overall body of the sweet. Regards Howard.

I am very disappointed with the recent purchase of MELTIS Newberry Fruits. Compared to the product I knew well some 30-40 years ago, current production is bad - the individual sweets are completely solid, with NO liquid centre at all - patently the on-pack advertising is 100% INCORRECT in that regard. Having returned my original purchase for full credit, for which my thanks, the further sample box sent FOC, were unchanged compared to the returned stock, again without liquid centres. The manufacturer should be informed so production can be rectified, or their advertising claiming liquid centres cancelled

These jellies bring back childhood memories, we always had some for Christmas. The jellies are covered in sugar, are sort of crunchy and have a lovely liquid filling. Very pleased to get hold of them as they are hard to find. Pity they aren't made in the UK anymore though
