Gavin enjoys taking a solid lump of high quality chocolate and creating something amazing with it. He produces original flavor combinations each of which is handmade and completely unique to that day. His passion is to ensure that everyone has a chocolate they enjoy that they can indulge in every day.

Gavin has recently opened a physical shop on St Aubyn Street New Plymouth. This shop was originally built and run by his great uncle as butcher shop in the 1930’s. It has been many things since then but is now back in the family as place to relax and have with a good coffee and delicious chocolate.
