A brief history

Jan Hansen, having worked in casinos across Europe and developed a taste for luxury confectionary, first opened a chocolate shop in Stamford in 1986 before moving to Billingborough in 1988. He has since moved his market leading handmade chocolate business to The Chocolate House in Folkingham, a move which took place in 2005.
 
   Recently he has developed these premises further with the extension of the chocolate café, which now caters for 60 people. His specialised chocolates have gained such a reputation throughout the area that Jan now opens his shop five days a week (Wednesday to Sunday) and is busy all year round.

   The premises also boast chocolate artefacts and chocolate making factory with the host always keen to share his knowledge of the land's favourite confectionary.
