Friars Description
Friars is a family business specialising in luxury chocolate and unique gifts. Since 1927 the business has evolved from a gift shop /cafe to a specialist chocolate and gift store.
Our online business was launched in 2010 and more recently we have opened a second ‘Ye Olde Friars’ high street store in Ambleside to support our flagship store in Keswick.
What make us different?
Our gifts are designed in house so you will not find them anywhere else. We want to make it easy for you to be original, so you can give gifts that taste and look amazing which will be remembered.
We love new products (perhaps because we get bored easily! ), so every Valentines, Easter, Summer, Halloween and Christmas we launch a new range. It certainly keeps us entertained and hopefully our customers interested.

New product alert! Naturally sweet, fiery ginger pieces crystallised in sugar and cut into bite sized pieces. Mmmm! 😋 https://goo.gl/DMC3JT
BrewDog IPA with giant Slab beef crisps, pint pot gummies and of course a chocolate pint. Tag someone who you think would like this. https://goo.gl/SnJYyA
Delicious! 😋
If this doesn't set the pulse racing on a Wednesday morning, then nothing will! 💓😋 https://goo.gl/BiUge7
Hurray! The kids are back at school!!! 😁👩🏫👫👨🏫
This is the newest addition to our chocolate bar range (which we are trialling in store only). A powerful quote from an iconic woman.
We've gone all American with our chocolate bars. Maple & Bacon Pancake (somehow it works), Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich and Ice Cream Float. The best thing is that they are made in the UK....so there is none of that weird American chocolate taste going on. 🇬🇧️ 😋 🇺🇲️ https://goo.gl/cU8ZN5
You know when you have a good idea and you go a bit crazy with it..? Well, we thought it would be a good idea to have a chocolate pirate set, then someone suggested a rugby set...oh and what about the gardeners? If you do the gardeners, you can't leave out the train enthusiasts! Can you go too far with chocolate?!
Beer doesn't have to be boring. With piston head lager, American pale ale, Elvis juice and even dazed & confused milk stout! Our craft beer hamper is a celebration of being different. https://goo.gl/HwcfcA
Here's a birds eye view of Market day in Keswick. The sourdough bread from the @thecoffeekitchenbakery is amazing....just saying. 😋
Now there's a question!
We are trialling our new sticky toffee pudding chocolate online & in store at the moment. An immaculate truffle centre with dates, treacle and gooey caramel. Well worth a cheeky taste...it's not like you're eating a whole sticky toffee pudding is it?! 😋 https://goo.gl/G38qRK
Our no added sugar chocolates are made with the Stevia plant which is 300 times sweeter than sugar...strong stuff! 💪Find out more on our blog: https://goo.gl/y7kuA3
Our Eton mess chocolate has a whipped fresh cream and strawberry centre and is finished with a crunchy meringue topping. #Summer in a chocolate. ☀️🍫🍓 https://goo.gl/aS361w
And the WINNER is.......Kevin Jeffrey!!!!!!!! Congratulations Kevin, your prize is on it's way!!!
Born in the Lake District! Taking inspiration from the legendary Kendal mint cake, famous for having been taken to the top of Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary; founder Mike Pennington used his mixing skills to create an alcoholic liqueur from the peppermint cake recipe blended with a hint of smooth chocolate. 😋 Great with prosecco too! 🍾 https://goo.gl/DckDSk
