Bethan & Karl have really been inspirational in their chocolate making. They are trully scrumptious, and a work of art. Well done, you really deserve to win this!

Fabulously dreamy chocolate and using local produce, what more can you ask for, and a lovely counter display in the deli. They have done remarkably well in just a year and I look forward to seeing their presence more and more. Well done! Ceri

We have supported the Chocolate House since discovering them at the Porthcawl Farmers market. Now they have a permanent presence in the Aroma deli they are going to pose a serious threat to my waistline. The chocolates are a wonderful treat for yourself and they make excellent presents. If you are in or around Bridgend and you are a chocoholic - you cannot afford to miss them.

Personal service at its best. Amazing chocolate - first class service - they even delivered chocolates as a surprise for my husband's birthday and almost got caught leaving them in our garage! New products appear all the time - try the chocolate crispie and marshmallow bars - they are absolutely delicious. This is a place not to be missed!

Bethen came to our ladies group to give her very first demo ever, and she was excellent. The quality and fun of her demonstration, together with the wonderful taste of the samples meant that everyone who attended had a wonderful time! I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Their enthusiasm, expertise, comittment and high quality product comprises an unbeatable package. I am delighted to recommend the Chocolate House to all readers. Myfanwy1

An amazing Deli... Every girls Dream. The Chocolate House provided choclate favours for my wedding last November... The choclates were amazing and Bethan was a very calming influence during a very stressful time... Much appreciated and Good Luck to you both...

Bethan and Karl are the most hardworking and dedicated people I know! And they make FANTASTIC chocolates, which I have to have regularly or I get withdrawel symptoms! The chocs are fab as Christmas, Easter or birthday pressies, or just as a weekly treat! Best of Luck Beth and Karl - you're definatly my Local Food Heros!

You seriously can't buy better chocolates - they are wonderful! I wouldn't buy any other 'special occassion' chocolates now i've encountered The Chocolate House... But aside from the outstanding quality of the chocolates and truffles etc produced by The Chocolate House, they benefit from being small and accessible. You can speak to Bethan and tell her what you like and what you don't, and she genuinely cares! Bethan and Karl are obviously very hard working and care passionately about their business and product. They are also youthful and enthusiastic, something that brings an added energy to their business - and Bethan's spirit is an inspiration! The Chocolate House have succeeded in bringing a bit of quality into Bridgend town with their deli, something that was otherwise sadly lacking. Hopefully they will have set a standard that other local businesses will aspire to...

The Chocolate House makes the most fantastic chocolate i have ever tried. Combine the excellent chocloate with wonderfully unusual fillings and suberb customer care and you've got a top class Welsh company.

We have only been trading for 1 year but our business has gone from strenth to strength...only due to the continued support of our customers. Our delicatessen Aroma, in Bridgend has become the main outlet for our chocolates. We have also moved our production from home to a small unit in Bridgend Town Centre where we can hold courses, demonstrations, childresn's Birthday parties etc...it goes on and on.
