It's Easter time at Rumsey's which means one thing... CHOCOLATE! Lots of it. We aren't able to stock our Easter goodies online as many of them are too delicate to survive the post but here is a small selection of what you can find in our chocolateries. We are open all across the Easter weekend. Good Friday: 8.30am-6pm (Wendover) and 9.30am-5.30pm (Thame) Saturday: 8.30am-6pm (both) Easter Sunday: 10am-6pm (Wendover) and 9.30am-5.30pm (Thame) Monday: 10am-6pm (Wendover) and 9.30am-5.30pm (Thame)          

We are really excited to be producing a range of Single Origin Easter Eggs at Rumsey's this year.  Chocolate is far from just a generic product, the quality of the cocoa beans that are used has a huge impact on the chocolates taste. Just like we’ve seen in recent years in the coffee and wine industries, customers are becoming more discerning and interested in where chocolate comes from and the different flavour profiles that can be enjoyed from the different cocoa regions. Where is cocoa grown? Cocoa is grown in a narrow belt of tropical forest, 10 degrees north and south...

Enjoy some of our deliciously spooktacular Halloween treats available in our chocolateries now. Pumpkins, haunted houses and ghosts - all handmade by Nigel and his wickedly wonderful chocolate team. Due to the delicate nature of these chocolate moulds we aren't stocking them online for posting. However you can pick them up in store whilst stocks last, and feel free to phone ahead if you want to check availability. 

Thame Food Festival is the most wonderful event that takes place every September in the market town of Thame, Oxfordshire. We've loved seeing it grow since it first started back in 2008. Rumsey's Chocolaterie is in the very heart of Thame so on festival mornings we literally see it come to life around us, with food producers from near and far setting up their stall's on the High Street. Our team will be busy - as well as our normal menu we will also have stall serving delicious crepes (will chocolate sauce, of course!). We look forward to seeing lots of familiar faces around...

Whether it's travelling between our two chocolateries in Wendover and Thame, or doing our deliveries to local restaurants, shops and colleges our van is often on the road. You won't miss it now either! If you see Nigel Rumsey - either on our van or behind the wheel - be sure to give him a wave. Nigel has been creating chocolates since 1991 and is loving know locally as "the chocolate man". We are very happy that the chocolate man now has a very fitting chocolate van.
