Today Laura, one of our busy area sales managers, is busy sampling chocolates at the Royal Horticultural Society in Wisley although not all herself – she has plenty to share around. Do pop down and say hello to us (and sample some chocolate delights of course!) if you are in the area. http://bit.ly/tRbz9m
Continuing our good work to promote our scrumptious Chocolate Larder biscuits Joan, our shop manager extraordinaire, visited Waitrose stores in Dorchester and Bridport last week. Our next tasting will be in Gillingham Waitrose store on 3rd November. If you weren’t one of the lucky Waitrose customers to participate in this tasting don’t forget that the Chocolate Larder biscuits are on sale on line, in regional Waitrose stores, as well as in a wide range of fine food stores, delicatessens, independent retailers, farm shops and garden centres. To find your local independent stockist simply visit our website http://www.hodchoc.com/on-the-high-street

Last week Natalie, our marketing executive, visited Waitrose stores to spread the word on our delicious Chocolate Larder biscuits which are stocked regionally in Waitrose. Visiting Wimborne, Parkstone and Winton branches, the biscuits went down a storm with shoppers split down the middle on which biscuit packed the best punch. Orange zest was very popular with chocolate orange fans, oats and honey’s crunchiness was loved by all but shoppers rated pecan and butterscotch as the most decadent and delicious all-rounder to have with a lovely cup of tea… but don’t take our word for it…. try them for yourself!

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? We have some super organised House of Dorchester employees who are almost finished… But assuming you are still searching for the ultimate Christmas gift, how could you go wrong with a chocolate hamper? That’s what we thought too, so we decided to start selling chocolate hampers on our website. Here’s a picture of Natalie, our Marketing Executive, who recently (rather reluctantly, it has to be said!) posed behind a lifestyle shot of a selection of hampers for a magazine shoot. We hope you enjoy browsing our website and treating your friends and family to a chocolate hamper! http://www.hodchoc.com/hampers
