How does it work?
At the heart of the fountain is a rotating corkscrew that gently lifts the molten chocolate from the base to the height of the fountain. It then cascades over the tiers back into the base for your visual effect and enjoyment.
What can I dip into the chocolate?
Please see our packages for a list. We like to avoid crumbling foods, such as cake because they can affect the smooth flow of the chocolate and spoil the visual effect but because you’re the client, what you request can be sought!!!
Do I have to assemble it?
You don’t have to-we do it! We also offer our help in other aspects of hire.
Why would I want it?
The chocolate fountain is a stunning centrepiece that draws interest and gets people talking. It brings novelty to your event especially at weddings, lunches, dinners, corporate or black-tie events. In fact, just about any occasion.
How much is it?
This depends on what you want. Just see our prices section for a complete list.
How far do you travel?
We’ll happily discuss any special arrangements with you-just ask!!!
Can the fountain be used outside?
The fountain is at it’s best when used inside. If it is to be used outside, consideration should be given to preventing flying insects that are attracted to the sweet smell (Bug dips anyone?) Also, the chocolate needs to be kept warm to circulate, any breeze can make this difficult to maintain.
What chocolate do you use?
We supply 10kg of the finest Belgian couverature chocolate. If you need more on the night-no problem! Remember-It’s you that choose the flavour.
What is couverature chocolate?
Couverature has up to 38% more cocoa butter than regular chocolate this ensures a smoother taste for your enjoyment. DID YOU KNOW??? Couverature is French for ‘covering’
How do you melt the chocolate?
With great care!!!!! Although the fountain can melt the chocolate, this takes a long time. We melt it in a microwave, with frequent stirring, to give it a rich texture.
Is the chocolate included?
Each hire comes with 10KG of the finest Belgian chocolate supplied. This is enough to last for the full duration of your rental period.
How long can it run?
As the base of the fountain maintains a constant temperature, it can run indefinitely.
What is your colour theme?
We can present the fountain in any colour scheme that you require.
