“The quality of the chocolate is very nice and tasty and we generally enjoyed the experience. It would have been better (as we were a couple in our mid 30’s) to be seated on our own table, there were 4 unsupervised children under 13 on our table and they were quite disruptive (parents had dropped them off apparently). There were 3 tables put together, so it could easily have been arranged that our table would be separated like others were. It really impacted our experience as the children were so overexcited. The children’s attitude was not the fault of the organiser but the seating arrangements could have been better planned.”
