Fantastic chocolate shop
Fantastic chocolate shop - very good news to have one even closer to Preston. The chocolate macaroons I bought last weekend are the best you can buy. You’re spoilt for choice in this place - and the staff are great.

Great to be able to purchase online
We bought some chocolates when we were staying in Ambleside in the summer,
My husband really enjoyed them so iv bought some to pop in his Christmas stocking,
I was a little disappointed that the flakes weren't available but was still happy with my choices

Old Bank House Chocolate shop never lets me down
Been a customer for years but this is my first online order and I wasn't disappointed! A number of add on's to Christmas gifts - with a few cheeky treats for me - I just know they will be well received gifts. Very well packaged and equally scrumptious (I know from experience)!
