Cocoa Luxury —Chocolate, without the fussy
Relaxed, hands-on chocolate workshops
in our Chocolatier Studio at Patrington Haven.
ABOUT COCOA LUXURY
Hi, I’m Paul, the face, hands and (occasionally chocolate-covered apron) behind Cocoa Luxury!
I’ve been in the chocolate business for around 10 years now. I’m a self-taught Chocolatier, learning my trade by getting stuck in, experimenting and discovering that working with chocolate is every bit as messy, challenging and rewarding as it sounds!
Before bringing Cocoa Luxury to East Yorkshire, I spent six years in Sheffield as a bean-to-bar Chocolate Maker, turning raw cocoa beans into chocolate from scratch. And just to prove we knew what we were doing, one of the bars we made even picked up a Gold Award from the Academy of Chocolate. Not bad for a job that involves chocolate all day!
Nearly four years ago, we relaunched Cocoa Luxury here in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and the response from local people has been absolutely amazing. In fact, you’ve made us feel so welcome that we decided to make the move here permanent and take Cocoa Luxury to the next level.
Our next adventure? Turning the garage attached to our house in Patrington Haven into a proper Chocolatier Studio. Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it?
Well, after an eight-month planning ordeal and 15 months of work, patience, paperwork and the occasional deep breath, the Chocolatier Studio is finally ready! And believe me, it’s been quite a journey.
OUR WORKSHOPS
Come and play with chocolate!
From January 2027, I’ll be welcoming small groups of up to four people into the Studio for relaxed, hands-on chocolate workshops. No experience is needed, no complicated chef’s hat required, and absolutely no need to take yourself too seriously. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to get a little chocolate on your fingers!
You’ll spend a couple of hours with me learning how to temper chocolate using different methods, before getting creative and making your own chocolate treats to take home. You might even discover a hidden talent… or at the very least, have a very good excuse to eat chocolate!
We’ll be keeping things small and friendly, so there’s plenty of time to ask questions, have a laugh and get hands-on without feeling like you’re back in the classroom.
And the best bit? Once your workshop is over, you can head back to the Patrington Haven Leisure Park Country Club, where a complimentary hot drink will be waiting for you. You can park there too, with just a short walk to the Studio.
BOOK NOW
More than just a chocolate workshop
Our workshops will change throughout the year to celebrate some of chocolate’s favourite occasions, including Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Easter. And that’s just the beginning!
We’ll also be introducing more themed sessions, including truffle making and the art of creating delicious filled chocolates. There’ll be something new to get your teeth into as Cocoa Luxury grows.
Whether you’re looking for a different kind of day out, a fun activity with friends, a chocolate-filled treat for two or a group experience with a difference, there’s room for you here.
Small groups, big chocolate smiles
Workshops start at £40 per person, with discounted prices when you book together:
With just four places available per workshop, you’ll get a personal experience, plenty of hands-on chocolate time and something delicious to take home.
So, if you love chocolate, fancy trying something a little different, or simply want an excuse to spend a couple of hours making a glorious mess with it, I’d love to welcome you to Cocoa Luxury.
