Great Service
I was happy to be able to buy this company’s beautiful dipped flake chocolates online. They did take a while to arrive but that is made clear when placing the order. The items arrived within the agreed timeframe and were very carefully packed. Excellent all round.

The best chocolate ever
The best chocolate ever. Have been buying from them for many years. Sadly have not been able to travel for a couple of years so to be able to purchase by post is awesome. Just wish I could purchase a little more at a time. Highly recommended . Pam

I’ve ordered these chocolates many times for my missus, Old Bank House is her no 1 chocolate shop. All her favourites were in stock and delivered in plenty of time for Christmas. Excellent quality as usual, hoping she will share a caramel cup with me.🤞

Love from the shop to home
I fell in love with these chocolates when I visited the shop in Ambleside. I came out with a bag full of goodies and a card to order online. Having done just that, I am extremely pleased with the items that arrived all neatly packed and are just as delicious as I remember. Delivery takes a few days, which is clearly stated in the website but the wait is worth it.
