Great product range, great team, great experience!

I can't speak highly enough about Beech's. Not only are the chocolates easily some of the best (read: most delicious and with an amazing range of other products like their crystalised ginger) on the market, the Beech's Team's support is second to none. My relatively last minute order arrived with one incorrect item, and the team worked incredibly fast to get the right box out to me (and very kindly let me keep the wrongly delivered parts).

I would have no hesitation in buying from Beech's again. Great product range, great team, great experience - what's not to love!

Awful customer service

Awful customer service. My order was delivered a week ago and the wrong items were sent out. I have tried contacting Beech's customer service team on several occasions to try and sort this issue but I have not received a response to date. I am now left out of pocket and with incorrect items. Very disappointed.

Hi Steph,

Sorry for your experience but unfortunately Beech's has collapsed into liquidation after 105 years of British confectionery manufacture. This is the reason you've not had any response as all staff have been let go. I'm sorry we haven't been able to correct your order but hopefully this goes some way to explain the situation. It has also been in the news :(

The best chocolate maker

The best chocolate maker I have tasted, the chocolate enrobed Brazil nuts were the best ever. Just sad they have suddenly closed. I hope all the staff find happiness.

Read the small print.

The chocolates were delivered well packaged & in good condition. I ordered coffee fondants which are difficult to find. I did not read the description carefully enough as they are vegan & are truly awful ! Not chocolatey, not coffee enough. Slimy & leave an unpleasant aftertaste. I hate things that are supposed to be one thing yet made out of another.

Hi Sharon, thank you for the review. I'm not sure what to say here but dark chocolate fondants are all naturally Vegan...

Dark chocolate contains no milk, and the fondant centre is made from sugar with added glucose syrup and a natural enzyme to make it soft. The lack of any milk in the product renders it suitable for a Vegan logo.

You will find that all dark chocolate fondant creams are naturally Vegan just like ours! Nothing has been done to the recipe and we've been making them the same way in traditional small batches using real coffee infusions and starch moulds since the 1930s.

I'm sorry you feel the flavour was not to your liking, however we coat all of our naturally flavoured fondants in a rich 55% Fair Trade Cocoa solid ultra smooth chocolate with no palm oil, no gluten, no milk (hence the Vegan logo) and nothing you couldn't purchase yourself to make at home.

I appreciate the 4 star review and hopefully you can try one of our other products to get that chocolatey hit you're looking for. Our milk chocolate is smooth, creamy ultra fine 35% fair trade cocoa solid chocolate that tastes absolutely incredible.

If you check our our website I'm sure we'll have something to tempt you!

Kind regards,

Fabulous customer service

Fabulous customer service - there was a slight hiccup on a recent order (really not a problem) and Beech's remedied it very quickly and generously. Obviously a company run by real people with common sense and discretion not a corporate nightmare with staff reading from scripts. A breath of fresh air, thank you, long may it continue. Oh.... and the chocolates are delicious and gluten free, vegetarian I think too (not a consideration for me, admittedly I'd eat pig bristles if Beech's coated them in chocolate!).

I am really impressed with this company…

I am really impressed with this company for a couple of reasons:

1. The chocolates were lovely.
2. I contacted them to request a specific delivery date and this was dealt with in a professional manner. I received an email from an actual person to let me know when my delivery would arrive. This was very much appreciated.
3. The order included a complimentary box of chocolates, which needless to say was also very much appreciated.

I will certainly order again.
Thank you.

Regular customer, always very happy with quality and service

I'm an (unashamed!) dark chocolate addict with a particular taste for anything coffee flavoured. I have tried many dark chocolate coffee creams over the years and Beeches are definitely among the very best - and certainly the best in the this price range. In my opinion, many other brands taste too "sugary" with only a hint of coffee (as well as inferior dark chocolate covering). I prefer a more intense coffee flavour with less sweetness and find Beeches has a very nice balance. The dark chocolate covering also has a good taste and quality.
I've bought various different Beeches chocolates as gifts and they always go down well. I'm a regular customer and am always happy with service, packaging, delivery times etc.
I'm very surprised the current Trustpilot rating is not over 4.5 as I've been using the website for some time now and always find everything great and have never had a problem.
Keep up the good work, Beeches 👍

Chocs Away

I had never dealt with this company before and had three questions. All were answered concisely, comprehensively and promptly via the Chat facility.
Parcel arrived within three days of placing order and two days of dispatch.
Pleased to support a British company when so much manufacturing has gone overseas.
Somewhat annoyed that my main item, a box of luxury truffles, had a further price reduction after my purchase .
