Hotel Chocolat is the British-owned phenomenon brazenly committed to real, authentic chocolate. Founders Angus Thirlwell and Peter Harris had one goal in mind when they started over 10 years ago – to make a better type of chocolate available to UK consumers bored by the mediocrity of the chocolate available in supermarkets and on the high street.

Forging close ties with like-minded partner chocolatiers across Europe, their Chocolate Tasting Club has attracted well over 100,000 regular members who enjoy a brand new selection of artisan chocolates every month. The recently launched All Dark Club for dark chocolate enthusiasts is quickly following in those hugely successful footsteps.

Using authentic, wholesome ingredients is the key to Hotel Chocolat’s success, a position that is strengthened with their historic cocoa plantation, Rabot Estate, in the West Indies. This exciting new step allows them to make a unique and exciting connection between the consumer and the cocoa plantation. Becoming an origin chocolatier is a large investment and full of risk – no wonder no other UK chocolate maker has made the same commitment to real chocolate.
