An artisan chocolate shop in Southport has unveiled its brand new secret Courtyard Garden.
It’s the perfect place to sit back and indulge with one of the venue’s famous hot chocolates or hand-made luxury chocolates.
The new garden is situated behind RS Fine Chocolate on Botanic Road in picturesque Churchtown Village.
Owners Rob and Jo Swinden said: “Feel free to use our little courtyard garden now for your takeaway drinks!
“We wanted a little community garden feel to it – very peaceful.
“There are a few more plants and bits and pieces needed, but you can use this now.”
RS Fine Chocolate opened in November last year, on the site of a former chocolate shop.
The couple have forged a superb reputation as top class chocolatiers from their existing shop in Ainsdale.
Rob and Jo Swinden said: “Some people might remember this as a former little quaint chocolate shop and we hope to create something really special here.”
RS Fine Chocolate began as an artisan chocolatier in the heart of Ainsdale Village. Specialists in bespoke chocolate work, everything is hand crafted on-site in their ‘chocolate box’ sized shop using traditional methods of tempering, moulding and filling pralines by Chocolatier Rob Swinden.

Most recipes originate from over 30 years experience gained working alongside Master Chocolatiers from Belgium, Germany and France.
Taking this inspiration the firm has put a local twist on the recipes, such as Strawberry Fields, Everton Toffee Mint, Cheshire Honey Flower, Liverpool Gin, Maritime Salted Caramel, Marmalade Sky, Aintree Dark Caramel (Jockeys Cap!), and the Haydock Hazelnut and Cognac praline.
Signature ‘Natterjack Toad’ chocolates are available in gift boxes or loose to enjoy. The gift boxes feature beautiful illustrations of the Natterjack Toad by artist Emma Dibben.
As well as the ‘Natterjacks’ there are also the ‘Formby Asparagus’, ‘Southport Shrimp’ and ‘Red Squirrel’ chocolates.
Rob and Jo Swinden said: “We wanted to produce artisan chocolates that also linked in our beautiful landscape, local wildlife and heritage. Something for our community to feel proud of.
“Our couverture chocolate blends are imported from Europe, including French and Belgian couvertures. As a specialist chocolate business, we work with specialist suppliers because we are confident of their commitment to fair and sustainable cocoa production – Fair Trade and Rainforest Alliance approved.”
