Chocolate Fountain Hire in the Summer
Did you feel that? No, you’re not imagining things – it really is getting warmer in Britain! After what’s ultimately felt like 18 months of winter here in the UK, the team here at Chocolate Fountain Hire couldn’t be feeling more excited by the prospective summer months. When the sun shines, there’s one thing us Brit’s do better than any nation of rain-dodgers – we hit the great outdoors!
Chocolate Fountain Hire know that when you want to celebrate an occasion outside, nothing is more encouraging than a hint of sunshine. That’s why we make sure our chocolate fountains are geared up for the summer months and ready to celebrate with you.
That’s the marvellous thing about chocolate fondue. Whether it’s the middle of July or the day before Christmas, chocolate fountains are far from seasonal and suit occasions pretty much all year round. The melted Belgian chocolate cascading through our fondue fountains is warm enough for that ooze effect but never too hot. And our dipping items are stored in cool, fresh conditions right up until the point a re-stock is needed. Basically, no matter how hot the weather gets, our chocolate fondues and dipping items know how to keep their cool.
Summer months are also great for Chocolate Fountain Hire because it gives us the opportunity to pick out the best of the seasonal summer flavours and dips. Strawberries are a firm chocolate fondue favourite all year round, but did you ever consider a tropical selection of pineapple, mango and kiwi? What about some apricot slices to dip into a white chocolate fountain, or some cherries for a dark chocolate fountain? If you want to go a step further in wowing your guests with your chocolate fountain hire know-how, why not choose flavoured chocolate? Imagine your guests’ reaction as they dip into a strawberry, lemon or orange flavoured chocolate fondue fountain!
As much as Chocolate Fountain Hire loves the summer, we’re also very realistic and understand that no matter how glorious the forecast, the Great British weather will sometimes have the last laugh. If you’re planning a garden party or an outdoor wedding reception and you’re worried about a quick change in weather conditions, fret not. Where a marquee is not available for a chocolate fountain set-up, we offer a Perspex see-through case to store the fountain within. While protecting guests from a windy chocolate splash, it also keeps out pesky summer insects. A small opening allows guests to dip into the chocolate fondue with ease, and the transparency means you still get to enjoy the chocolate fountain spectacle. Perfect!

Chocolate Fountain Hire gets Closer in London…
We don’t usually turn to Star Trek for inspiration, but as Trekkie-favourite Deanna Troi once said, “I’ve never met a chocolate I don’t like.” Here at Chocolate Fountain Hire, we couldn’t possibly agree more. What better way is there to say “I Love You”, “Happy Birthday” or “Congratulations” than with a cascading chocolate fountain?
London-based celebrity magazine Closer wanted to say it with chocolate recently – “congratulations”, that is – as they celebrated the launch of their brand new weekly food section (you heard it here first!). Chocolate Fountain Hire were invited to provide the fondue fountain for magazine staff and guests, at London’s Penthouse, 1 Leicester Square. Armed with more dips than you could shake a copy of Closer at, including sugared donuts, chocolate brownies and mini gingerbread men, guests at the trendy London venue couldn’t keep away from the chocolate fountain fun.
The night was one to rival any celebrity bash you might find documented in the pages of the UK’s best-selling celeb magazine. Aside from the free-flowing chocolate fondue fountain, a raffle offering cash prizes up to the value of £1000 caused serious excitement and music courtesy of a Kiss Radio DJ got the dancefloor moving. Chocolate Fountain Hire loves visiting London!
Planning to wow guests with a chocolate fountain in London? Want to give a corporate event some celebrity status rather than the Trekkie touch? Chocolate Fountain Hire are on hand to help with our stunning fondue fountain displays, luxurious range of dips and tempting chocolate fondue flavours.

Chocolate Fountain Hire Dorset
From the seaside venues of Bournemouth to the manor houses and estates of the New Forest, there are so many picturesque venues for weddings in Dorset. Chocolate Fountain Hire recently visited just one of these idyllic venues, the Parley Manor in Christchurch, for Ian and Amy’s wedding reception.
The happy couple had tied the knot in Christchurch earlier that day, before dipping into two chocolate fondues. One large Belgian milk chocolate fountain was accompanied by one smaller dark chocolate fountain and a huge range of dips. Guests at Dorset’s Parley Manor enjoyed mini donuts, marshmallows, pineapple and strawberries whilst taking in the stunning surroundings.
Here at Chocolate Fountain Hire we love visiting events in Dorset, where the range of locations and outdoor scenery make special events totally memorable. The great weather the south usually enjoys means a lot of events in Dorset choose a chocolate fondue fountain for that extra summer-feeling.
Chocolate Fountain Hire is available across Dorset including Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Find out more about Chocolate Fountain Hire Dorset by getting in touch today.
Chocolate Fountain Hire Berkshire
When you’ve had a gourmet three course meal, what calms that remaining sweet tooth better than a chocolate fountain? Berkshire residents at a recent event in Wokefield Park, Reading, certainly agreed it did the trick. Planned by one of the leading event organisers in Reading, Chocolate Fountain Hire supplied a fondue fountain for the intimiate party of 50 with plenty of fresh fruit and bakery items.
After dinner in the modern manor house, surrounded by 250 acres of traditional landscaped grounds, guests gathered to dip pineapple, banana and strawberries in the chocolate fondue. Fruit makes a great, light dipping item when your guests have already eaten a meal, like the guests in Reading. Chocolate Fountain Hire also believe a chocolate fondue provides your guests with a unique desert option, where perhaps the costs of a desert course per head may seem to pile up.
Whether you’re planning a wedding reception for 350 guests in Reading, or an intimate birthday party for 50 in Ascot, chocolate fountain hire remains a practical, fun and exciting option. For large events, you may consider booking one small and one large belgian chocolate fountain. For small events, you may choose more dipping items for increased variety. Whatever the size of the event you’re planning in Berkshire, Chocolate Fountain Hire can help you work out the best options and tailor a package for you.

Chocolate Fountain Hire Southampton
The University of Southampton’s Christian Society held a social recently in Bliss Club Rooms, Southampton. Chocolate fountain hire’s a great idea for socials and club meetings, as the students found out after we supplied them with a Belgian milk chocolate fountain and lots of fruity dipping items.
Everyone arrived at the popular Southampton venue looking glamourous. The dark nightclub lighting gave the chocolate fountain and it’s illuminated pink surround a glowing quality that stood out all night, and kept the society members coming back for more dips in the chocolate fondue. Southampton student’s definitely know how to have a good time, as the party continued late into the night.
Chocolate fountains provide not only a stylish, mouthwatering centre piece for any event, but also offer a great talking point at socials. Throughout the evening, society members chatted around the chocolate fountain whilst dipping fudge and strawberries, creating a lively club atmosphere.
A chocolate fountain also acts as a terrific treat for your club or team. What better way to get members to socialise, or to congratulate a team effort than with chocolate fondue fun?

The Best Scientific Health Study Ever
Eat 50g of chocolate every day for 8 weeks – that’s what researchers in Northern Ireland will soon be asking volunteers in a study to do. Sounds less like a study and more like a dream to us!
The aim of the study is to determine if a diet rich in important compounds called polyphenols can benefit the cardiovascular system. Dark chocolate rich in cocoa contains such compounds.
As the study is only taking place in Northern Ireland, we here at Chocolate Fountain Hire suggest you try out conducting your own research. Why not find out what dips go best with a dark chocolate fountain? Or better still, what flavour of chocolate goes best alongside a dark chocolate fountain – a white chocolate fountain or a milk chocolate fountain?
Chocolate fountain opportunities and combinations are endless, so find out more about Chocolate Fountain Hire today.

Chocolate Fountain Hire London
Children love chocolate, a fact we know all too well here at Chocolate Fountain Hire. London’s Five Star Baglioni Hotel, overlooking Hyde Park, was host to the most recent children’s birthday party we attended, and was organised by London’s leading children’s entertainment and event management company. The organisers in question featured on MTV’s My Super Sweet Sixteen – so they know a thing or two about throwing a great party!
Our Belgian chocolate fountain took centre stage at the 8th birthday party, giving the kids a great taste of chocolate fondue fun. With a great range of dipping items including jelly babies, mini donuts and fudge, chocolate fountains continue to be a firm favourite at events in London. Chocolate Fountain Hire caters for events for people of all ages, whether it’s a children’s birthday party or a 40th wedding anniversary, and we always see the same results – lots of chocolate fun!
When booking a chocolate fountain for a children’s party, make sure there are plenty of sweets and confectionary items – they look extra decorative around the fountain.
