Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I have the fountain at my function?
We allow for 3 hours, which is usually more than enough, however, you can have it for any time you specify at an extra cost.

What do we need to provide?
Just a table with a nearby power supply.

Can we use it outdoors?
No. Unfortunately, using the fountain outside requires a wind shield which significantly reduces the effect and enjoyment of the fountain and flies tend to be a problem.

How many people can use it?
Up to around 400 people per fountain - but this needs to be confirmed prior to booking to ensure we have enough chocolate and dips to go round.

Why are your prices so cheap?

Well, the main ingredient (chocolate) is bought by the pallet load, so before buying anything else this brings enormous savings, and of course we buy everything else in bulk as well. (obviously not fresh fruit as they are bought on the morning of the event)

The fact that we have 8 chocolate fountains being used most weekends means that our suppliers always give us good prices anyway.

Will there be anyone present during the hire period?
Yes. We will always ensure that at least one member of our team is present at all times to assist your guests, replenish the food and make sure the fountain runs smoothly.

Do you allow the guests to dip for themselves?

Yes and no; it’s really up to you.

There are two ways to run the fountain on the day; either allow the guests to serve themselves or serve everybody and don’t let them dip themselves, however, we have found that in practice, most people want the fun of dipping themselves, so although there will always be at least one of our staff in attendance, we would only actually dip on behalf of someone if they requested us to do it.

Does there have to be somebody from your company there?

Yes. Attended service is essential to avoid re-dipping food after someone taking a bite out of it, or someone wanting to fill a glass or use their fingers to dip. We as a company have to adhere to strict hygiene regulations when supplying food.

What type of chocolate do you use?

We only use pure Belgian Callebaut chocolate and we only use it once!

You can choose Dark, Milk, White, Orange or Mint, although other flavours are possible.

Is the chocolate free from Nuts?
We cannot guarantee that the chocolate or foodstuffs are free from nut trace and we will provide signs to state this.

I've heard that vegetable oil is used to thin the chocolate. Do you thin it?
Yes, sometimes we have to, depending on the temperature of the chocolate, but we use fresh cream or occasionally we use coca butter, both of which add to the taste of the chocolate

Do you reuse the chocolate from one function to another?

Are you kidding? At the end of the function we drain the chocolate into pots and either get the venue to dispose of it, leave it for the guests (venue permitting) or we take it with us and dispose of it ourselves.

Have you done a chocolate fountain in my hotel?

Most probably, yes. We have supplied hotels and venues all over Ireland, including:

and many more…

Do all venues allow chocolate fountains?

No. For various reasons, a very small number of establishments do not allow chocolate fountains, however, generally this is down to insurance or health requirements, and if this is the case, we can supply any necessary documentation to comply with their requirements, but, some just don’t allow them in any circumstances. We strongly advise you to check with your venue BEFORE you confirm your chocolate fountain booking.

What can be used for dips?
In addition to the standard package, you can also substitute or use in addition any of the following dips.

Nougat, Pear, Melon, Raspberries, Blackberries, Cherries,

Turkish Delight, Chocolate Brownies, Kiwi Fruit,

Peach Segments, Orange Segments, Profiteroles

Can I have dips that are not on the menu?
Yes, if you have a special dip that you would like we will do our utmost to provide it, however, for insurance reasons, we can only allow dips supplied by us.

Are you insured?

Yes, we carry a Public Liability Insurance policy for £5million

Is the price guaranteed?

Yes. Even if your booking is 5 years in advance, the price on the booking form is the total price you pay; even if prices rise the meantime.

How do I book?
Simply give us a call on 028 90748899 or send us an email and we can either post or email you our booking forms. Return them with a £50 deposit and this will secure your booking date. The remaining balance is not due until 14 days prior to your function or you can spread the cost with our Easy Payment Plan.

If you have any questions or queries not answered above, then please don't hesitate to call or email us and we'll be only too pleased to help.
