A Few Ideas For Father's Day 2013

Just a few photos taken in the shop this afternoon of confectionery that has been bought for Father's Day this weekend.  Maybe your Dad will like one of them as his gift this Sunday?

A little reminder . . . last orders for Father's Day via the web shop will be Wednesday 12 June at 9pm (UK)

Father's Day 2013

Father's Day is fast approaching, just two Sundays to go, as this year it is on Sunday 16 June.  The most popular confectionery seems to be chocolate covered brazils, chocolate ginger and liqueurs.  But there are many other things too . . . how about some of our new Italian nougat?  Or maybe some Dutch liquorice?  Or even some classic marzipan?  Why not have your ballotin of Belgian chocolates gift wrapped, for only an extra 50p?

Latest Visit To Belgium

Recently, whilst travelling between our main packaging suppliers in Belgium, we stopped in the town of Enghien/Edingen for the first time.  We've been past the town before, but never really had the opportunity to walk around it.  As it was time for a break we stopped at a delightful café and tapas bar called The Morango Room.

What an excellent find!

They have an extensive menu of savoury and sweet food, hot and cold drinks too.  All the food is made on the premises by the friendly owner, he was busy preparing the tins for the quiche whilst we were there.  We're definitely looking forward to our next visit to The Morango Room . . .
