Chocolate Fountain Hire Dorset
There are more than a couple of reasons to hold a wedding reception in the glamourous penisula of Poole Harbour, Sandbanks. Aside from the well-documented property value and famous residents – Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp lives there – the beach is considered one of the most beautiful in all of the UK, leading national press to dub it “Britain’s Palm Beach”. From the sterling silver sands of Sandbanks to the foliage of the New Forest, it seems there’s a backdrop for every occasion and every mood in Dorset.
Chocolate Fountain Hire visited the Haven Hotel, Poole recently to provide a chocolate fountain for Dawn and Anthony’s wedding reception. The hotel, located on the Sandbanks penisula and boasting spectacular harbour views, is one of the finest function and conferencing venues in Dorset. Chocolate Fountain Hire contemplated some celebrity spotting, but there were far more pressing matters at hand – getting the chocolate fondue fun started!
It wasn’t just the picturesque views of Poole that guests were indulging in. Dawn and Anthony booked two chocolate fountains for family and friends – one large milk chocolate fountain, and one small white chocolate fountain. The combination is always a winning one in our experience, as the large chocolate fondue provides all it’s usual spectacle and fun, while the small chocolate fondue experience gives extra variety and that added “wow” factor. A range of strawberries, mini donuts, marshmallows, pineapple, vanilla fudge and cream profiteroles kept the Dorset guests coming back to the chocolate fountains for more, and the cute white chocolate fountain continued to fascinate the kids.
Two chocolate fountains can add real variety to any event. Whether it’s a small and large fountain, or two large fountains, you can mix and match colours and flavours. Why not have a dark chocolate fountain and a white chocolate fountain? Or a milk chocolate fountain and pink chocolate fountain? The choices are endless.
Anthony and Dawn loved their big day, and guests certainly seemed to as well. If you’re looking for chocolate fountain hire in Dorset, then speak to Chocolate Fountain Hire today to find out more.
Chocolate Fountain Hire visit Bristol
Remember the school disco days of dodgy dancing, ignoring the opposite sex and cheap Panda Pops? School socials definitely aren’t like they used to be, and probably with good reason, as we discovered recently in Bristol. Chocolate Fountain Hire visited the South Western city to provide a chocolate fondue experience for students at an end of term college bash – and it was definitely an event to remember!
Set at one of Bristol’s premier venues, Ashton Court Mansion’s stone arches and high ceilings provided a spectacular back-drop for the college formal. Students aged 16 to 18 years turned out in their best to dance the night away and munch on dips from our chocolate fountain late into the night, with marshmallows and mini donuts proving to be the most popular.
Chocolate fountains are an essential for proms, end of term parties and graduation balls. Not only does a chocolate fountain provide a colourful, visual spectacle, but it’s a tasty treat for young people who aren’t old enough to drink alcohol. Where a bar, cocktails or champagne are commonplace at events for adults, a chocolate fountain is a huge treat for guests of all ages.
If you’re planning an event where a large number of the guests will be young people, a chocolate fountain will always fulfill two key event objectives – continual entertainment throughout the night and guest interaction. There were no wallflowers round the chocolate fountain at this Bristol bash!
Chocolate Fountain Hire cover a range of events for people of all ages, including proms, graduation balls and school socials. Find out more at Chocolate Fountain Hire Bristol today, and find out how we can make your event a chocolatey one.
Chocolate Fountain Hire Devon
Devon is home to the Jurrasic Coastline, Exmoor National Park and, the largest outdoor space in Southern England, Dartmoor. So there’re plenty of reasons to visit this South Western, rural county. It’s also home to Ro, who celebrated her birthday party in Curscombe recently, and invited Chocolate Fountain Hire to attend. Armed with a large milk chocolate fountain and a huge range of summery dipping items, we gladly made our way to Devon to provide some chocolate fondue fun.
The party was hosted in Ro’s garden, where the Devonshire guests were treated to our chocolate fountain as well as a delicious hog roast. Inbetween trips to the outdoor spitroast and slices of birthday cake, our selection of kiwi, mango, grapes and bananas dunked in the chocolate fondue fountain provided a fruity appetiser.
And to make sure the chocolate fountain was left untainted by the wind or nearby insects, we provided our clear perspex casing to store the fondue fountain in. When considering chocolate fountain hire outside, it’s essential to consider outdoor factors like Ro did. Ensure you have a flat, steady surface to store the chocolate fountain on, as well as protection from a marquee or awning. If no marquee is possible, our perspex case does the job nicely – it’s see-through so you and your guests can still take in the spectacle, but it’s robust enough to keep the chocolate fountain clean and fresh. It’s even got a hatch you can open when you want to use it.
Garden parties like Ro’s make great celebrations, especially in beautifully rural places like Devon. Chocolate Fountain Hire are brimming with loads of useful advice if you’re planning your next event with chocolate fountains outside. Get in touch with Chocolate Fountain Hire today to find out more.
Chocolate Fountains in Bournemouth: Part 2!
Remember we said Bournemouth was one of our most popular locations? Well those Bournemouth folk love chocolate fountain’s so much, the team at Chocolate Fountain Hire have been to two wedding’s there in the last week!
Penny and Adrian returned from their spectacular wedding in Barbados to a wonderful reception at the Village Hotel, Bournemouth. Alongside their Belgian chocolate fountain, they supplied guests with sparkling pink and cream cupcakes instead of traditional wedding cake, which fitted in with the gorgeous colour scheme. The chocolate fondue’s illuminated pink surround fitted in perfectly with the pink theme too, as did our selection of sweet dipping strawberries and pink wafers.
All these visits to the South Coast got Chocolate Fountain Hire thinking what seaside treats would make good dipping items in a chocolate fountain. A Bournemouth stick of rock maybe?
Bournemouth is a great place to plan a wedding ceremony or reception, as it holds the most promise for sunny weather in the summer months. Chocolate fondue fountains provide a great feeling of summer and help create a party atmosphere whether you’re inside or out. If you’re planning an event in Bournemouth, make sure you know all you need to know about Chocolate Fountain Hire Bournemouth.
Chocolate Fountain Bournemouth
Bournemouth is the happiest place in the UK according to a 2007 survey, where a hearty 82% of residents questioned said they were very happy with their life. Perhaps it’s to do with all the chocolate fountain’s? Bournemouth has become one of our most regular haunts over the years and we’re always thrilled when we get a chance to visit.
Our most recent visit took us to the Cumberland Hotel – a cliff-top venue with stunning art-deco interiors – for Michelle and Rob’s wedding reception. Chocolate Fountain Hire provided a large milk chocolate fountain with plenty of strawberries, bananas and marshmallows for dipping. The choice for chocolate fondue hire complemented the sumptuous black, white and hot pink colour scheme perfectly, and the chocolate fountain itself looked more than a bit tempting set-up beneath a sparkling chandelier.
Chocolate fondue hire remains a popular favourite for wedding receptions and civil partnership ceremonies. It encourages interaction around a common focal point, and gives everyone a chocolate fountain treat in the process!
Rob and Michelle’s guests had a wonderful time and proved there may be some truth in that survey. Happiest place in the UK or not though, you always know that where there’s smiles and chocolatey fingers in Bournemouth, there’s never a chocolate fountain far away.

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.

Creative confectionary…
With many years of experience working with all kinds of chocolate, we thought we’d seen them all. Apparently not, we discovered, after hearing that Thinking Chocolate have launched haggis flavoured chocolate!
The Edinburgh-based chocolatier created the chocolate inspired by the iconic national dish of Scotland.
If you’re thinking outside the chocolate box for your event, why not consider a pink coloured chocolate fountain, or even green? Get in touch with Chocolate Fountain Hire, and we’ll be more than happy to discuss your ideas.
