Team bulding in Sunningdale
Here at chocolate fountain hire we are lucky to have regular customers, and one of our favourite venues is Sunningdale Park in Ascot. They have a dedicated business centre called The Evelyn Sharpe centre where companies send staff members for week long confrences, training sessions and team building. We are often asked to provide a chocolate fountain for the afternoon tea break, to give the delegates some much needed oomph! We set up in the break out area of the centre, where the tea, coffee and soft drinks are, and quickly put together the chocolate fountain, and arranged the dips. Straight away we had hungry delegates coming over to ooo and ahhh over the range of dips and the delicious chocolate. We fed about 150 people in about 45 minutes with strawberries, pineapple, chocolate brownies and profiteroles, whilst they drank coffee and chatted with their colleagues. It really is a lovely booking, the staff are all friendly and helpful and the delegates are always so happy to see us!

Tripple chocolate to see in the new year
New Year’s Eve and the Chocolate Fountain Hire Team travelled to the picturesque village of New Milton in the New Forest for a party to see in 2012! A beautiful marquee was the setting for an amazing party. The guests were treated to a fantastic meal of Salmon or Steak with an amazing assortment of freshly prepared roasted vegetables and rice dishes. Our stunning 5 tier chocolate fountain was the dessert for this occasion and was filled with luxurious Belgian White chocolate and was complimented by 2 smaller chocolate fountains, one with milk chocolate and the other with dark chocolate. The guests enjoyed a huge variety of dips including gingerbread , profiteroles and the favourite of all our fresh strawberries, the hardest choice though was which type of chocolate to dip them into!!
There was a joint celebration as one of the guests had their birthday that day and his main choice of celebration for his 72nd birthday was to indulge in the 2012 shaped vodka ice luge. The live band played throughout the evening and the guests danced their way into 2012 with champagne and good friends!
Special visitor for childrens party in London
Chocolate Fountain Hire were asked to provide a Chocolate Fountain in London for a Christmas Party at Investec, who are a specialist bank and asset management company. The chocolate fountain was to be the centrepiece for the party which was for the children of Investec’s employee, and we were expecting a very special guest! The children piled in with their parents and helped themselves to mini beef burgers, pizza, curly fries, onion rings and toffee apples, all prepared by the chef’s in the kitchen. As soon as we had set up, we had children (and their parents) all eager to taste the creamy milk chocolate fountain dips, which included strawberries, fresh pineapple and mango! When the kids were full of chocolate and ice cream, the ‘special guest’ appeared in the lift, complete with his two elves, it was of course Father Christmas! And with his appearance came shower of sparkly confetti from the ceiling. You should have seen Matt and I desperately trying not to let it get into the fountain, we looked very funny flapping our arms about! With the exit of Father Christmas, the parents and children alike got into their coats and left, tired, happy and looking forward to the festivities of the season. As for the Chocolate Fountain Team, we left happy that a job had been well done.
Chocolate Fountain Hire for New Year’s Eve at Highley Manor
We were excited to be asked to provide a chocolate fountain and fruit palm tree at a New Year’s Eve party at Highley Manor in Haywards Heath for Sarah. It’s always lovely to be asked to cater at people’s special occasions, and a New Year party is no exception. We were to be the ‘pudding’ after the guests had tucked into ham, beef and poached salmon. We were very popular! Sarah had also asked us to provide a fruit palm tree, which we filled with fresh strawberries, melon, grapes, kiwi, clementines and fresh pineapple. The tree stood a very impressive 7ft on the table, including 3ft of real palm leaves! Guests are sometimes a little reluctant to eat from the fruit trees as they look like works of art, but these guests quickly realised that it was for eating, and the tree was soon looking a little bare! After supper, Choclate and cheese, the dancing started in earnest, with people milling around,occasionally nibbling a piece of fruit, or a jelly baby from the chocolate fountain dips. On the stroke of midnight, Champagne was drunk and auld Lang sayne was sung, and the chocolate fountain hire team had a little kiss and a hug and crept out of the party, leaving it in full swing. What a great party!
No False starts at Worcester race course fo sudents chocolate fountain
One of the last parties before christmas involved us heading upto worcester to provide a chocolate fountain for a student christmas ball. We arrived in plenty of time and set up the chocolate fountain. In no time at all the chocolate fountain was flowing with belgium milk chocolate with a selection of dips including strawberries, banana, donuts, profiteroles, brownies, marshmallows. It didnt take the party goers too long to take advantage of the chocolate fountain.
