The award-wining chocolatiers has been open since 2012
In a recent episode of Channel 4’s reality show Five Star Kitchen: Britain’s Next Great Chef, the competitors are tasked with reinventing a five-star hotel’s iconic afternoon tea.
Cocoa Cabana, an award-winning independent chocolatier with cafes in West Didsbury and Ancoats is loved for its melt-in-the-mouth truffles, dreamy cakes and a truly astounding number of hot chocolates varieties. But last month its owner was left to throw out a £100 pre-prepared afternoon tea for a party of four who failed to turn up. Cocoa Cabana boss Sarah Gallacher couldn’t even claim the money back from the credit card left with the booking as it had been cancelled.
As she also pointed out at the time, customers cancelling cards appears to be an industry-wide issue right now. But, for many hospitality businesses struggling amid mounting cost pressures such as high interest rates and energy bills, it couldn't be worse timed. It’s difficult not to be tempted by the colourful chocolates, massive brownies and rocky road treats lining the marble counter, but having caught a quick glimpse of the scones on a neighbouring table, exhibiting some restraint seems like the best course of action.
Both the egg mayonnaise and ham and cheese finger sandwiches are served in dainty slithers of wholemeal bread, while the tuna mayonnaise and chicken and tarragon mayonnaise are served in wraps - the latter a standout of the savoury selection. Wolfed down at record speed, it’s onto the sweet selection where Cocoa Cabana’s flair for chocolate really shines.
