F.A.Q.s



      

Do you add oil to the chocolate?

NO! We never add any kind of oil to our chocolate, neither do we re-use any chocolate from any previous event. The chocolate we use is of the finest Belgian chocolate which either already has an added cocoa butter additive or we add cocoa butter at the event to ensure the chocolate runs smoothly on the fountain. Any chocolate that is not used at the event will be thrown away.

How does the Chocolate get to the top tier of the Fountain?

Inside the Fountain is a specially made stainless steel corkscrew which rotates and brings the Chocolate from the base to the opening at the top of the Chocolate Fountain, then it overflows back down to the basin.

Why hire a Chocolate or Champagne Fountain?

Chocolate and Champagne Fountains are a unique and elegant way of adding a spectacular WOW factor at your special event. Fountains are ideal for Wedding Receptions, Anniversary Parties, Trade Shows, Christmas Parties, Corporate Events, Banquets, Birthday Parties, Christenings and just about any occasion where you wish to impress your guests with the ultimate chocolate or champagne experience.

Do I have to assemble it myself?

No, for the large fountain our uniformed operator will deliver, assemble and supervise. When your event is over we will disassemble and take the Chocolate Fountain away. If you hire the small fountain as dry hire (unsupervised) we will deliver and set up the unit up and show you how to supervise and clean it up yourself.

How far do you travel?

The prices quoted on this site are for within a 30 mile radius of our office base, we are based between Buckingham and Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire. Outside of this area there may be a delivery charge but please contact us for a quote.

What kind of Chocolate is used in the Fountain?

We use the very best Belgian Chocolate. It comes as Dark, Milk or Creamy White. Alternatively, for something a bit different, we can arrange Orange, Lemon, Strawberry, Caramel or Cappuccino flavoured Chocolate. We can also supply Chocolate suitable for diabetics.

How long can the Chocolate Fountain run for?

As long as you like! The Chocolate Fountain acts as a tempering/heating unit the machine will keep the chocolate at a constant temperature so the chocolate never hardens. In reality though the average time the machine will run on a rental is 3-4 hours, although longer is no problem.

How many people does each Fountain serve?

Our fountains can serve several hundred people at a time, we can advise you of your requirements if you contact us and let us know how many people you are expecting at your event.

What can you dip in the Chocolate Fountain?

You can use strawberries, marshmallows, miniature doughnuts, turkish delight, fudge, profiteroles, other fruits and so much more! If you have anything in mind that's not on our list of Dips then please contact us to see if we can supply.
