Delicious chocolates by Barry Colenso, Master Chocolatier whose specialist subject on Mastermind would surely be CHOCOLATE!

Trained as a Chef Patissier, Barry has created special food in the kitchens of the world’s best hotels, including the Savoy hotel in London where he made the Queen Mother’s 85th birthday cake. After a long career as Thornton’s Master Chocolatier, Barry Colenso now designs and creates chocolates of his own .He still makes chocolates for some very special people and in fact, Barry had the honour of helping the McVities Cake company make the chocolate groom cake for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for their wedding last year.

If you want to check out Barry’s chocolate credentials, taste some of Barry’s chocolate for yourself. Chose from his classic buttons, his heavenly truffles and perfect chocolate hearts. We hope you will taste the difference. Certainly everything is made in small batches, with lovely ingredients and –importantly- passion.
