Welcome to the virtual world of The Chocolate Chef!

Established in 2006 in Colchester, The Chocolate Chef was set up by Cathie and Matt Battersby in order to provide delicious handmade chocolates at a reasonable price. Matt is a lifelong chocoholic and Cathie has always had a passion for cooking so combining the two has been a dream come true!

So what makes us special? A long established chocolatier in France once said that you can get good value chocolate or you can get good chocolate. We aim to provide good quality chocolate at a  reasonable price. By making all our products from home, and selling directly we are able to keep our overheads down, savings which are reflected in our price.

Although chocolate generally has a long best before date, the flavour does start to diminish after approximately three months. We pride ourselves on only making our products when they are needed so that your chocolates reach you when they are tasting their best. This means we don’t always have some products available at short notice, but our customers tell us a few days wait is worth it.

We are now based in Paris where Matt has a new job and are offering our exciting chocolate parties here to ex-pats and locals alike. Please visit our party page for more information.
