The chocolate is to die for
The chocolate is to die for. Especially the dipped flakes which all my family love. Good job we don't live near by ! Fantastic service and a great selection. Highly recommend.

Always order my chocolates from Old Bank Chocolate Shop.
Fabulous chocolates.
Absolutely the best chocolates I have…
Absolutely the best chocolates I have tasted since Maxwell and Kennedy days in the late 80s where there was a shop in Newcastle upon tyne, these chocolates surpassed Hotel chocolat and the since gone thorntons chocolates. We visited yesterday and we have been bk today to buy more. Worth every penny I just love the chocolate covered liquorice and the Turkish delight, but the best was the outstanding dark chocolate gingers the best I’ve ever had, no stringy ginger just a lovely texture to bite into with chocolate to die for. Simply the best anywhere thank you
Bought as a gift
Bought as a gift, chocolate was lovely..and thoroughly enjoyable. Delivery was quick too.
Thanks.
Really Good Quality Chocolates
It always feels like a bit of a gamble buying nice chocolate online but I discovered a winner in Old Bank House Chocolate. I placed a larger order to supplement presents at Christmas and everyone came back to me to tell me how good each thing was - very glad I got myself some truffles as well. The range they offer isn't as extensive as some places, but my word they are good at what they do! I recently had to give up milk/dark chocolate for a while and placed an order for some white chocolate buttons. Once again I was really impressed with the quality. I'm not even a fan of marzipan but have to put some in every order now after various family members insisting it's the absolute best. It feels expensive, but it is really good quality, and it's packaged really well, so not only does everything arrive quickly, but everything is always in perfect condition and so delicious. It's easier better value and better quality than some of the more well known (and more expensive) brands. Now to convince them to introduce a loyalty scheme so I can justify ordering more often!
Beat chocolate ever
