Why hire from The Chocolate Dipping
Company?
We are a small family run business. Our principal aim is to deliver
this fun and mouth wateringly delicious product to your party, with
excellent customer service, competitive prices and flexibility.
We use excellent British built equipment and high quality chocolate
and dipping items. Our uniformed operator will liase with you and
will attend the function to ensure it all runs smoothly.
What is a chocolate fountain?
A chocolate fountain is a machine
that has molten chocolate flowing continuously over 3 or 4 tiers to
create a fountain effect, for the purpose of dipping food items into
the flow. Molten chocolate is poured into the base of the machine
and pulled up through a central column. Once the top tier overflows
it cascades down the fountain, each tier larger than the last.
How is it presented?
The Chocolate Dipping Company presents
its British built stainless steel fountain with an illuminated base
and stylish bowls full of dipping items, which are replenished and
kept tidy throughout the duration of the hire.
Is a special type
of chocolate used?
A specially formulated Belgian chocolate
is used. It has high cocoa solids content and once molten, creates
a delicious flowing cascade of chocolate. Most popular flavours
are milk, dark and white.
How long does the chocolate last for?
10kg of chocolate should be enough for 200 guests. Additional chocolate
can be added if required. The fountain itself will run for hours
on end. There will be no problem about it lasting for the entire
event as the fountain keeps the chocolate soft and at a constant
temperature at all times.
How hygienic is
it?
We follow basic food hygiene guidelines at all times. We do not
allow "double dipping" and insist on guests using a new
skewer with every dip into the fountain.
How long can we
hire it for?
Typically a normal hire is for 3 hours, however for longer hire
an individual quotation can be given.
Do you provide
an operator?
We provide an operator with every rental of the larger fountain
to ensure the smooth running of the fountain, beautiful presentation,
replenished dips (and chocolate if required) and cleaning up at
the end.
How far do
you travel?
We are based in Preston and predominantly cover the North West.
Functions further a field can be quoted for on request.
What do you need from us at the event?
We need a strong level table (minimum 5' round or 6' rectangular)
in the function room or marquee, capable of supporting 80kg, a 13amp
power supply (nearby), lighting sufficient for the immediate area,
colour co-ordinated linen (if you require anything but white) and
sufficient time to set-up and dismantle the fountain and to clean
up the area afterwards. The table must not be located
in a draught (door, window or air-conditioning vent).
