We had a lovely morning making and sampling fudge after we were given a family ‘fudge making experience’ as a present. Lee and the boys in the shop were very friendly and keen for us to have a go creaming and loafing the salted caramel fudge. It was amazing to watch the whole process and join in with all the steps. It’s the children got involved and we were able to sample all the different flavours along the way. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely delightful place. Underneath the pleasant shop is a 'smoking lounge' with nice comfortable Chesterfield sofas and chairs and of course a humidor. This was a special event (although reasonably priced at £30pp) where we got to taste x 2 cigars and a lovely whisky and a very nice rum. Really interesting and friendly hosts and great conversation from the other participants. Would definitely go there again and bought some cigars to keep me going until my next visit. Highly recommended.

Reviewed By Sazzy32 - Kidderminster, United Kingdom
We came here as we had a buy a gift for chocolate tasting. We had travelled from kidderminster so took us 2 1/2 hours to get here. Car parking was no good as took us a further 30 mins to find a space. So we were late by 40 mins for our course. When we finally got there they had already started so we just quickly caught up with them. The chocolate was very tasty and we had 3 different activities to do. This was great as you tried different strengths of chocolate and also the info behind it all. Differently something I would get a gift for in the future Throughly enjoyed it.

We visited friends in Cambridge yesterday and popped into this beautiful little sweet shop. It took me right back to my childhood with such a great choice of sweets with lots of new stuff too. The shop is clean and tidy yet small but massive. Spiral staircase is just gorgeous and with more variety downstairs. The staff here are amazing! They were friendly, chatty and most of all they were helpful. It's rare to see these days in a shop so popular as staff automatically presume that customers will buy no matter what, which is a good awful shame. But not here, even if the staff see you about to buy they will still find the time to chat to their customers whilst busy. I seriously recommend a visit here. Even the fact that I've now got toothache after eating one of their glorious toffee's and pulling at my wisdom tooth, I still can't stress enough that it should be made law that this place should be visited by everyone! Bravo, Hardy's, your staff and store is amazing!
