Hire a Chocolate Fountain
Chocolate Fountain Hire
Looking to add a moment of pure indulgence to your next gathering? Chocolate Fountain Hire from Anything for Hire turns ordinary events into memorable experiences — think warm ribbons of chocolate, the gentle cascade sound, and the delighted chatter when guests dip strawberries, marshmallows or even savoury bites. With over 20 years in the industry, we connect you to trusted local and national suppliers so you get the right machine, delivered and set up without the usual fuss.
White & Dark Chocolate Fountains
Do you fancy the creamy sweetness of white chocolate or the rich depth of dark? White & Dark Chocolate Fountains each bring a distinct sensory experience. White chocolate melts into a velvety, pale ribbon that pairs brilliantly with tart fruits; dark chocolate offers an intense, glossy cascade that complements spiced or salted nibbles. Suppliers on Anything for Hire offer melt-ready blends and advice on tempering for flawless flow and irresistible shine.
How it works
Curious about the logistics? How it works is straightforward: choose a supplier, decide on size and chocolate type, confirm delivery and on-site set-up, and enjoy. Most providers handle cleaning options and offer staff to manage the fountain at larger events — ideal if you’d rather mingle than monitor the dipping table.
Choosing the right fountain
Picking the perfect unit comes down to guest numbers, space and the impression you want to create. Choosing the right fountain is easier when you compare capacity, footprint and whether you need additional service (attendant, topping stations, or themed decorations). Our platform lets you quickly compare local options so you find the best match for your event’s vibe and budget.
Size & Capacity
Want a cosy dessert corner or a dramatic centrepiece? Look at Size & Capacity first. Small benchtop units suit intimate dinners (20–50 guests), medium towers work well for family parties and corporate lunches (50–150 guests), and full-size showpieces serve large weddings and public events. Suppliers list exact throughput per hour — we recommend planning for peak use during cocktail or dessert service.
Electric and Set-up
Practical details matter. Electric and Set-up requirements vary: some fountains need a dedicated socket, others come with long leads and quiet motors. Providers on Anything for Hire will confirm power needs, delivery windows and whether they provide a testing period so the fountain runs perfectly when guests arrive.
Service and delivery
Professional delivery and optional staffing can transform a good hire into a stress-free highlight. Service and delivery options include drop-off and collection, on-site attendants who refresh chocolate and manage hygiene, and full-service packages that combine the fountain with platters and skewers — all bookable through our platform.
Care & Safety
Safety and hygiene are non-negotiable. Care & Safety practices include using food-grade chocolate blends, keeping a protective cover when the fountain is idle, and providing tongs or skewers to avoid cross-contamination. Professional suppliers follow current food-safety guidance and often supply single-use dipping sticks and sanitary stations for peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What chocolate is best for a fountain?
Use chocolate specifically formulated for fountains or a couverture with added cocoa butter to achieve a smooth, glossy flow. Suppliers on Anything for Hire can advise whether to provide pre-mixed chocolate or if they will mix and temper on-site for consistent results.
How long does setup take?
Setup typically takes 30–60 minutes depending on size, plus warm-up time for the chocolate. If you’ve booked an attendant, they’ll handle this and ensure the fountain reaches the perfect temperature before guests arrive.
Can I hire a fountain for outdoor events?
Yes — but outdoor hires need shelter from wind and direct sun to maintain chocolate flow. Providers often bring protective tents or recommend positioning to avoid temperature fluctuations. Anything for Hire listings specify whether a supplier covers outdoor bookings.
Ready to book?
If the idea of a flowing curtain of chocolate makes your mouth water, explore local providers on Anything for Hire to compare machines, read supplier details and secure a booking that fits your event. Want extra reassurance? Choose a supplier with on-site staff and recent reviews — it’s the easiest way to enjoy the moment without juggling logistics.
