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. And starting as
a catalogue-based business, that’s exactly what they did, making our brand of exclusive chocolates available to UK consumers
for the first time. An award-winning website soon followed and in 2004 the first of many Hotel Chocolat stores appeared on
the high street. Forging close ties with like-minded partner chocolatiers across Europe, our 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 key to Hotel Chocolat’s success, a position that is strengthened with our historic cocoa plantation,
Rabot Estate, in the West Indies. This exciting new step allows us to make a unique and exciting connection between you 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.
