Can I supply my own dippers?

Yes and our prices would be adjusted accordingly. We would ask that you check with us first to ensure that the dippers you are providing are suitable for use with a chocolate fountain. Allowing us to provide a complete service can guarantee you a stress free event. At Chocolate Works we pride ourselves on the presentation of our chocolate fountain and accompanying dippers. This includes providing a wide range of quality dipping items purchased fresh on the day of the event and served on attractive tableware with matching napkins together with suitable skewers.

Who will operate the chocolate fountain?

All our fountains come with fully trained, uniformed operators who will set up the fountain ensuring a perfect flowing chocolate fountain. They will present the dippers using attractive tableware and ensure that the table is kept presentable throughout your event. They will also be happy to demonstrate 'fountain etiquette' to ensure drip free dipping for your guests! At the end of your event our operators will clean and remove the fountain.
