    Highlight

    The kids enjoyed making their own lollipop, although the table that had flies settling on it was sprayed with flyspray in front of us during the candymaking show and then wiped down before the toffee was placed on it. Lets hope the heat from the hot candy has killed any germs.

    What to watch out for?

    The whole place was very uninviting and cold. A waste of money paying for the show to the chocolate room and candymaking show. A video shown 20+ years old of what the candy factory once was... clearly not a working factory anymore. Very unexperienced staff, the tearooms seemed non existent and I ordered a coffee from the sales area which tasted like hot sour milk. Very poorly lit, untidy shelves, with many products not dated, and decorations old and dirty. Tip: Don't go!
