WE shared the news that as Easter approaches, staff at Castle Chocolates, at Carlyle’s Court, Fisher Street, in Carlisle, are working overtime to meet demand.

Owner Keith Tattersall opened the business in 2019.

As its reputation has grown, Castle Chocolates has accrued such high-profile clients as fine dining restaurant Lounge on the Green and Cranstons, which is now its biggest.

The shop is very much part of the community, frequently supporting local charities. 

Here's what our readers thought of their chocolates.
