Chocolate Fountain Hire London

Chocolate Fountain Hire London: Where it all began

We have a passion for chocolate. We’re always trying to shape the way people view chocolate beyond the image of a bar of Dairy Milk. Not that we have anything against a good dose of Cadbury, but chocolate can be so much more than that.

That’s why when the first chocolate fountain came to the UK, we had to get involved.

Armed with strawberries, marshmallows and an appetite for chocolate that would put Augustus Gloop to shame, La Fontaine de Chocolat was founded, London’s exclusive chocolate fountain hire company.

La Fontaine de Chocolat was not the first company to do this. Invented by Ben Brisman, chocolate fountains were made popular by Canadian firm Design and Realisation after it began displaying some of these new wonders at the National Restaurant Show in Chicago in the early 1990s.

Since then there has been a veritable explosion of chocolate fountains globally. After Sephra’s foray into chocolate fountains, the phenomenon became very much something that everyone with a taste for chocolate – and impressing guests – knew about.

Now you can find chocolate fountains at just about any type of event, from Weddings and Birthday Parties to Corporate Events and Award Ceremonies. The classic flavours include Milk, White and Dark chocolate and for those guests wanting to achieve a more striking appearance we can now supply orange and strawberry flavoured chocolate within their respective natural colours. The latest craze of 2013 includes flowing real caramel through the fountain with the very popular ambrosia apple as a dip.

The chocolate fountains available for hire now are increasingly sophisticated. Newer models by JM Posner feature a cup design, dropping chocolate from cup to cup, which are proving especially popular amongst London’s fashion set. So now we can offer three different chocolate fountain designs –  The Classic, The Cascade and The Twin Cascade.

Melted chocolate doesn’t always do what you want it to, so we use Belgian couverture chocolate made by Callebuat in all our chocolate fountains. This type of chocolate has a high concentration of cocoa butter to ensure consistent flow. We believe it’s really important to use a chocolate specially formulated for fountains therefore never having the need to use oil which compromises taste and texture.
