From a happy twist of fate to a thriving business success story, Chamber member Deliciously Sweet Chocolate Company has become a celebrated name in handcrafted Belgian truffles and creative gifting.
Owner David Smith first discovered his passion for chocolate when he took over a small coffee shop that happened to produce its own chocolates. What began as a chance encounter soon became a calling, and six years later, Deliciously Sweet was born. Today, the company is recognised across the region for its innovative flavours, handcrafted quality, and strong community spirit.
Deliciously Sweet sells directly to the public through its online store, offering an inviting range of personalised gifts perfect for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, and every special occasion. From luxurious Belgian truffles and Afternoon Tea hampers to bespoke corporate selections, there’s something for every chocolate lover.
The company also partners with businesses to design corporate-branded gifts and event collaborations, ensuring memorable experiences that reflect each brand’s unique identity.
Community involvement is central to Deliciously Sweet’s values. The business actively supports local charities including St Wilfrid’s Hospice, The Chaseley Trust, and the Children’s Respite Trust, alongside sponsorship of the Eastbourne Operatic and Dramatic Society.
Most recently, David Smithannounced their new sponsorship of the South Coast Ballet, continuing the company’s commitment to the arts heading into 2026.
Innovation is at the heart of Deliciously Sweet’s success. The company proudly offers vegan and dairy-free options, catering to evolving tastes and dietary needs while maintaining the same exceptional flavour and craftsmanship their customers love.
This Christmas David and the Deliciously Sweet team invite everyone to share the joy — one handcrafted truffle at a time.
