The Chocolate Rooms in West Lancashire

Lovely cafe in a lovely village. Staff are so friendly and very helpful as I was on crutches. And they do breakfast all day!. Liked it so much we went twice while my friend visited.

Really friendly staff, the cafe was clean and their Christmas decs was amazing. Plenty of parking too which is always a good start.

Lovely cafe. The waitress today (Saturday afternoon) was really friendly, all the staff were nice. Colouring books kept my daughter entertained. Food was great, we will definitely be back and would recommend!

Boskins was recommended, we thought we would give it a try. Unfortunately was not so great. Tea and coffee served quickly, ordered two boskins full English breakfasts, after waiting 40 minutes, server came and what have ordered? We advised two full English breakfasts. We didn't have time to wait a further 40 minutes for it to be cooked. We left. Sadly we will not be returning.

There were about a dozen of us and the manager arranged a number of tables and chairs so that we could all sit together. We were served promptly. My wife and I had a delcious carrot cake and others had various cakes that they enjoyed.

Excellent cafe. Food was great with plenty of choices. Staff were friendly and the service spot on. Will definitely go again. Prices reasonable too.

Had the most delicious Christmas afternoon tea …. Staff welcoming and friendly .. Very enjoyable experience .. well done the Boskins !

Me and wife stayed only for 1 night for our anniversary. We triend 8 course meal with buskinac wine tasting menu. Food,vine, staff, room... Everything was exceptional.

6 of us visited the boskins after competing the annual scarecrow hunt, we didn’t order food just 2 pints of moretti, 2 waters, 2 diet cokes and 3 ice cream cones. As the weather was beautiful and no seats left we sat on the grass outside with lots of other people and we were told that they’re would be a 5 minute wait so would bring everything out to us. This was not a problem but having to wait 50 mins is unacceptable, especially with no cooking involved in this order, when the order did arrive we were missing 1 pint and an ice cream for one of the kids so another 15 min wait to rectify this. This place used to be brilliant under the previous owners, the new owners need to get back to those standards fast. Willing to give it another go as we live in the village and love to support local, really hope it improves.

Food and service was exceptional, the head chef was very pleasant and polite when we came over to give our compliments, would recommend to anyone for the food and again the head chef was very accommodating to our party,

Called in for some Sunday brunch and have to say it wasn't the best. Ordered coffee/tea with a sausage sandwich and poached egg on toast. We were shown to a table but no menus, I had to hunt down the ones we should have been given. The drinks were prompt and my coffee was nice no complaints there. However the food took 30 mins to arrive (cafe was not busy), the sausage sandwich was ok nothing great but the poached egg came over done and the toast was basically bread, not done. My partner asked for it to be taken back, she was offered something else but I think she was past caring at that stage. Whether there has been a change of owner from earlier reviews? not sure but the basics were poor, the staff young and pleasant but seemed inexperienced, there needs to be an experienced head waiter/waitress overseeing everything who is on the ball, needs big improvements.

Honestly one star is too high of a rating for this place. Absolutely awful experience from start to finish. Terrible service, rude staff,Poor quality food. First and last time I would come. Avoid like the plague

Absolutely awful. Family of 3 adults and a young child. Service was appalling: took 20 minutes to get served and then an hour and a half for food. Many couples came and went and were served before us. Waitresses not particularly friendly. Food itself when it finally arrived was poor - overly salted, cheap food. Drinks were fine, and they knocked food off the bill, but didn’t seem overly apologetic. Got the impression they very much preferred to serve locals. Would never return and suggest anybody looking for a nice lunch avoid like the plague.

We stopped here for a light lunch and ordered 2 toasted sandwiches, one chips and 2 soft drinks First the good 1. Food quality very good Not so good 1. ordered a portion of chips, which were included in the meals but not told at the time of placing the order - waitress should have advised me when I placed the order and when the food arrived I commented on this; and was told "that's what you ordered" rather than no problem I will take them back - poor customer service! 2 food wait over 30 mins, longer if I had not chased it up 3. Staff pleasant but disorganized and inexperienced 4 only one queue at counter - 15 mins wait time to pay bill as same queue as customers placing food & drink orders 5. Cost - although the food was very good it was over priced and not competitive with other similar establishments Would I eat here again: Not sure!!!!!

Great little place - very friendly staff. Nice wholesome food and good coffee. Highly recommended. Very reasonably priced. Excellent scrambled egg on toast.

At Boskins today for lunch with a friend. Friendly service. Lovely home cooked food. Good value. Definitely worth a visit.

Went for breakfast which was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. However…….. even though times are hard please please please turn your heating on. Were paying customers, the cafe was full and nearly everyone in there had their coats on, some people even had scarfs on. When you pay good money you expect to be warm. Come on guys!!!!!

Ok food but very overpriced. Terrible service - they forgot one of our dinners and then they sneakily charged us extra where they shouldn't have. Not recommended.

Very, very disappointed. As locals we use Boskins as a 'go to' and have always praised the food and service. Sadly how wrong we were. Booked for 4 for their Christmas menu. On arrival told the pre bookings we had made could not be uphold as they hadn't had the delivery (a table after us were able to have their preorders without problems). 25 minutes after finishing our mains we had no service regarding drinks or puddings. One server decided to bleach the floors around us whilst people were still eating!!! We tried to settle the bill and paid deposits were queried, Christmas offers weren't upheld and the attitude was 'we haven't done it on purpose'. Sadly lacking in any Christmas cheer and won't be revisiting any time soon.

I came to Boskins cafe on Sunday 6th November 2022 for breakfast. I had the Boskins full English I couldn’t fault it. It was an exceptional breakfast very good couldn’t of asked for more. Definitely worth a visit I’ll be back sometime.

Went for breakfast this morning. SENSATIONAL!!! Food was amazing Staff were fantastic Loved we will be back next week

Lovely to be back for the first time since the pandemic started; good coffee and lovely staff but the music didn’t suit the ambience and was too loud.

Called in for a takeaway. Good choice of toastier and cakes. Great coffee and best carrot cake ever.

Catered for 2 adults and 3 children, hot drinks,milkshakes and breakfasts all round and was all perfect! Lovely quiet atmosphere and very clean! The kids loved the pancakes! Can't wait to go back!

Food very nice Service excellent Very Covid friendly Little disappointed that the take out panini didn’t come with salad, as per the eat in version That said, a pleasant experience

Best breakfast in town!! Trips to this place have become a weekly thing with the girlfriend! Both ever had a bad meal/drink. Can’t fault it reallt

A lovely little cafe with good and quick service. The soup was delicious. Nicely decorated and clean

Popped in for lunch with the girlfriend. First impressions were good, the restaurant was clean and well decorated. Ordered off the christmas set menu, was very impressed with the quality of food. Pâté was well presented and the turkey panini was delicious. Super friendly service, definitely returning!

Called here for the first time on our way to Southport. Lovely cafe with a good menu selection and very nice staff. When we were there, Dave was being interviewed by Victoria Grimes from Granada Reports, so that made it a memorable lunch. Would highly recommend and we will return.

Lovely little cafe, nice selection on the menu, reasonably priced. Nice decor with helpful, friendly staff.

Visited this cafe several times since the new owners took over and it's back in the game as a great place for lunch, snacks and coffee. Lovely freshly made sandwiches and the chocolate dipping platter is a winner with my little granddaughter. Very friendly and helpful staff too.

Fabulous food, good service and you definitely need to try the warm chocolate shot! It's amazing and something I'll be going back for

Formerly known as the chocolate rooms , this new cafe has been bought by British No.1 skier Dave Ryding and his fiancée and is now quite different from the previous cafe . The menu has good choices , either snacks and cakes or full meals . We chose sandwiches and coffee . The sandwiches were full to bursting and very fresh and tasty . We followed this up with a heavenly chocolate platter to share with proper Belgian chocolate. Less than £30 for a very filling lunch , just great value and one to revisit soon . Recommended

We visited The Chocolate Rooms for lunch. Good choice of food on the menu and cakes looked delicious. I had the goats cheese flat bred which was excellent. Relaxed atmosphere and very friendly staff, with plenty of room inside Good value ..

Great menu which the staff said is going to get more extensive in the coming weeks. Friendly service and the food was really tasty. My friend and I both had flatbreads which looked and tasted great. The cakes looked very nice although we didnt have any this time. Will definitely come back. Its also open on Sunday too.

We heard that the chocolate rooms were under new ownership so decided to visit, this is a gem of a place to eat, had breakfast which was excellent, croissant with smoked salmon and eggs and poached eggs on toast, the staff were very attentive and professional. We had skinny flat white coffees to finish off. We will definitely be visiting again. It’s in a beautiful setting with the bonus of quite a big car park.

Just visited the Chocolate Rooms en route up north and it was a gem. Delicious food, great coffee and a wonderful relaxed atmosphere. Would absolutely recommend and looking forward to my next visit!!

Heard in the village that the cafe had just been taken over so decided to go for lunch today with family and friends. The food was delicious and they had a fantastic selection of home made cakes on display. The staff were all very attentive and welcoming. I also loved the gifts available to purchase around the cafe. My new favourite place to lunch!

I was really impressed with my first visit to this lovely tea room in tarlston, i was spoilt for choice with the menu and pleased with my choice of home made soup, goats cheese flatbread with fresh coleslaw and salad and then carrot cake to finish, this is such a nice place in a great location, i will be visiting again soon

The food choice is limited but very nice. Opening hours are a bit hit and miss, closed on a Sunday which is a shame.

Great food, little pricey. Never open at weekends. Would have visited many times but not there during the week.

Went with a friend on a Friday lunch time. I almost booked as last time I visited (ok, it was 2 years ago), it was very busy; glad I didn't as there were loads of spare tables. Have to say the food was ok, sandwich with a small side salad but nothing special. A pot of tea which was loose leaf. The cost was £9.50 which I have to admit was steep for what you got. Although the young staff member was quiet and polite, I certainly won't be rushing back for another visit.

Delicious chocolate torte and hit chocolates! Sponge so light & chocolate texture perfect. Children’s mini hot choc with mini marshmallows perfect. Definitely visiting again!

I visited here with a friend for a quick hot chocolate, we were served quickly and efficiently, the young waitress got me a high chair out for my daughter and took our order. We ordered two hot drinks and two cakes which all arrived quickly. The hot chocolates were really nice, my only criticisms would be that in my opinion it was over priced and lacked any atmosphere but we would definitely return

We found The Chocolate Rooms after having a lovely walk in the area, what a find. We had lunch there, Club Sandwich for me quiche for my wife. The food was freshly prepared, the quiche, made by the owner, was according to my wife," light and delicious", the club sandwich was "spot on". Both came with salad and we had tea to wash it down. Unfortunately we didn't have room for a cake for "afters" but they all looked just as delicious and again homemade. It was nice to chat to the owner and her daughter who was our waitress, a real family affair.

Found this place quite by accident and was so glad we did, the staff were ever so friendly and could not of been more welcoming and helpful.

My 1st visit here for lunch with friends, the staff were happy, friendly and welcoming. The food was homemade and very tasty. Lovely welcoming atmosphere. The decor was lovely.

Very quiet when we went in, only one other couple. Young lass who served us was very friendly, and the food was class.

The hot chocolate is no different to what anyone can have at home with powdered chocolate and hot water. Except that it costs 10-20 times the price! I am completely underwhelmed after expecting something quite good from an establishment having the nerve to call themselves a chocolate house. Families beware

I've been coming here since it opened the chocolate rooms is the best cafe in tarleton shame it doesn't open Monday's friendly staff and yummy products selling homemade chocolate gifts

Had the fruit and nut waffle, it was fantastic! Also the brownies was very nice too! Will definitely be returning!

Family half term visit. The cafe was cold (radiators apparently turned off). Hot chocolate was luke warm and very far from a luxury experience. Children’s pancakes were over cooked and slightly hard. The liquid chocolate topping on them was miserly to say the least. Basically the whole visit was underwhelming. It’s a great shame as we have been coming here for years but with so many other eatery options in the village I won’t be returning to the Chocolate Rooms.

I was a little let down, as family said was good. I found it to be ordinary. We had hot chocolate, service little slow, also they were ok, heating up our lukewarm chocolates. Didnt have any food, not sure if would go again. Plenty parking behind cafe. Terrible pedestrian crossing the street, should be a crossing at intersection.

The new ownership here has not done this place any favours at all. My wife and i turned up on Saturday at around 15:00 hrs. The place was emptying out and we were told to take a seat and somebody would take our order. After ten minutes of nobody approached the table, we gave up and walked out. The service in here has previously been that excellent that one of the staff did our wedding flowers, however it is evident that the standards of staff have obviously dropped. On having the time to go through the menu we noticed that the prices had also gone up. It’s a shame standards have slipped as this was a hidden gem. Now it should remain hidden.

Came for lunch with my wife after she had previously been when it was under the management of the previous owners and raves about it. The lunch menu is very limited. We both had a bacon, Brie and onion flatbread, the flatbread was dry and tasteless, the fillings were half hearted and for what we were given it was very over priced. We told the manager about the flatbread being dry and she just said “maybe it’s the cheese”?!? No apology she couldn’t have been less bothered. The cafe was absolutely freezing too and had very little atmosphere. If you have been before and we’re expecting the same quality go food and experience then stay away as you’ll be disappointed. If you haven’t been before don’t bother going and spend your money elsewhere at one of the much better value cafes nearby.

We visited as we are fans of Choc Amor (Cedar Farm Galleries) and expected some luxurious treats and and some Hugge style comfort.

My mum and I popped in on Saturday.

Called in on Sunday around 1pm -not many customers.

Our first visit since the new owners took over and we were pleasantly surprised. We were greeted at the door, the table we requested was cleaned, as was the floor as we took my Assistance Dog. In spite of being 15 minutes over the time...

Been loads before and won't return the service is awful. At least 4 staff on and the place wasn't full we waited 15 minutes and none came to our table so my husband went up to ask. Another 5 minute wait and a very unresponsive waitress came over. Food took awhile was good when it came although the scones were tough. Shame was a lovely place when it first opened need to revisit their customer service lots of other places to try!!

Went to celebrate daughters gcse results last thurs . Been in the past and service has been good . We waited ages to be served . One young waitress was taking orders and cleaning tables while 3 other young people hovered behind counter chatting . An older lady was in kitchen . We eventually ordered cakes and hot drinks . The range of cakes was a lot less than in the past . Two drinks arrived and three cakes . Caramelita and salted caramel brownie were delicious , highly recommended . However the cherry scone was dry and stale so it was sent back . At this stage we still only had 2 drinks . We asked the same young waitress and she said it was on way but had clearly forgotten . We couldn't work out what the other members of staff were doing . After consuming our cakes the hot drink still hadn't arrived so my husband went up to the counter to chase it up , he was very nice about it but was asked my one of the staff " have you never made a mistake in your job ?" . Very rude and completely unapologetic . We used to love the chocolate rooms and granted we didn't go very often but whenever we made the trip from southport we we were guaranteed gorgeous treats , good coffee and delicious sandwiches , quiche and savoury delights . It's a real shame . Hope it's just a blip

Visited for the first time last week.When we arrived it was about 3.50 p.m to find they closed at 4p.m which seemed rather odd for what is essentially a teashop.The person serving us was very pleasant and eager to please.We chose tea and cream scones.After a long wait our scones arrived but with the news that there was no cream left .The scones were dry and tasteless.I was disappointed as I had visions of calling in for an indulgent hot chocolate.I will give it one more try.

Three "mature" friends called in at Tarleton recently in search of a little retail therapy, followed by a light lunch.

We feel that the name is a little misleading and could actually deter customers who might not realise that there is much more to this restaurant than just chocolate.Whilst there is a large selection of chocolate based drinks and cakes, the Chocolate Rooms also offer some excellent coffees and a range of teas. The menu features a variety of light bites ('the made on the premises' scones are particularly good), as well as a number of lunchtime specials - look at the specials board.The restaurant prides itself on using Lancashire sourced produce wherever possible - even the coffee is roasted and ground in Clitheroe.Don't expect fast service as each order is individually prepared.Although the restaurant fronts onto the main road through the village, the entrance will be found from the large free car park at the rear of the premises.

My partner and I really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and decor. Friendly staff, tasty food (especially the BBQ beans!) and catered to my awkward requests. The mint chocolate milkshake was the best my partner has ever had! Highly recommended. :)

Terribly slow, even though quiet. Not just us, other people sat waiting for ages even if just for coffee. Poached eggs were not of a high standard and not drained, so thin toast was soggy. Menu stated sour dough toast and queried this when paying, no explanation or apology and didn't seem very bothered.

we thought this would be a terrific place to stop and visit, how wrong we were, the staff to be fair were trying, but the service was lacking everything from charm or personality and the food lack lustre and not worth the money

What a shame. We visited here a year ago and it was great but our last visit a few weekends ago was terrible. The place was quiet and yet the staff couldn't cope. I felt sorry for them as they were both really young with only one adult who seemed to be in the back out of sight. It took about 30 minutes for milkshakes which ended up being very tasty but took too long and 45 minutes for a panini which was awful when it came! My drink was forgotten. I had no cutlery for my panini. My first choice sandwich wasn't available. Bits were missing off the milkshake. It's really gone downhill here, we won't be returning.

Went here on a recommendation but was extremely disappointed. Told to find our own table and we assumed menus were on the table and only meals available were on wall board. Waited 18 minutes before order was taken and cutlery was dumped in a pile. Then we waited for meal. Staff all moaning and sullen and only 6 tables taken. Then owner delivered meal and she had the same personality. Meal mediocre quiche salad and asparagus special with bruised fruit. Only realised as we were leaving that in actual fact they have a clipboard menu which we were not given by staff. All in all not a good experience and as attitude and laziness is from the proprietor as well even training would not improve the chocolate rooms so I will not be visiting again.

My friend and I have been to cafe before and everything has always been fine. My friend ordered the soup and sandwich deal and I ordered a sandwich (making it clear that I didn't want butter or spread on the bread, stating quite clearly that I wanted 'dry bread') and tea for two. The manageress came over to tell us that as it was only 11.45am, we would have to wait until 12 noon as that was when they started serving hot food (it was a mug of soup)! We decided to wait, the tea was brought which was only lukewarm, my friend asked for extra warm water which came in a tiny jug. We also had to ask for one of the mugs to be changed as it was dirty. When the sandwiches arrived, my sandwich had butter on it so it had to be changed. The sandwiches were nicely presented and my friend enjoyed her soup. We decided not to bother having cake. Probably won't be going again.

Really disappointed with service and food today. Restaurant was quiet, only 4 tables occupied, however waited 45 minutes for food. 2 young staff behind counter, seemed preoccupied and uninterested in custom. Food was awful, Welsh rarebit dry and hard, the thai duck wrap was also hard with poor filling making both difficult to eat.

Great food. Lovely friendly service. This was my treat for mothers day. Really enjoyed and will definitely be going again.

What a great place food excellent staff 1st rate never reviewed anything before but the experience was fantastic food fresh and delicious

I visited with my daughter on a Saturday. There were a few tables free but the waitress asked if we had booked. I replied that we hadn't, we just wanted a coffee if that was OK. She showed us to a table and we ordered. We were made to feel a little uncomfortable that we we were only ordering drinks. Another waitress came along and asked us to move to another table which we were happy to do but felt that she was rude and abrupt. The drinks were OK (cappucino and a milkshake) but quite small for the price. All in all the customer service isn't up to much so I won't be returning.

We visit the Chocolate Rooms on our way to Southport. We enjoy the easy parking, the ambience of the place but mostly the quiche freshly made each day with mixed salad and dressing, coleslaw and a pot of pickled veg and onion. Decaf lattes with 3 kinds of chocolate buttons on the side adds the finishing touch at £2.50 each. The staff are helpful, but if you want the quiche wait until 12 noon when it should be ready. The homemade soups and sandwiches are very interesting and different and of course if you love chocolate whatever kind or colour you'll find it here. Worth a visit, we just keep coming back!

Lovely little place inside and staff are very nice.Cakes lovely and nice coffee. The bread for the sandwiches wasn't the freshest and we didn't get the chocolate buttons as advertised with the children's meal. Overall I'd say average.

Went to the Chocolate Rooms today 12/3/17 on my wife's recommendation as she has been previously and has always had a good experience. On arrival we were told that there would be only soup and sandwiches available, no reason for this was given but we accepted that being a Sunday that might have some impact on what was on offer. We sat down with the menus provided and started to wait and wait and wait, no interaction from the staff, nothing, and there were only 2 other tables occupied. After 20 minutes decided to leave, very disappointing I doubt we will return.

Visited The Chocolate Rooms for the first time today, love love loved it. We had a range of sandwiches and flatbreads and everyone enjoyed them. For dessert we shared the dipping platter and my husband had an amazing chocolate cake. The staff were very helpful and professional. We will definitely recommend and will be coming again soon. Thank you.

Went for lunch and decided on the soup and roll for £4.75. It was a lovely warming homemade chunky vegetable soup and well worth the money for a large bowl we chunky piece of bread. Some of the sandwiches seemed a little expensive for a small cafe in a village but it was busy and had tables reserved. I know it is under new owners but it still has Choc Amour branding and chocolates to buy and nothing seemed to have changed much. Another table we're having the chocolate fruit kebabs (£8). Would definitely go back for the soup. Maybe look at getting some comfortable seats and not plastic chairs

Been before and loved it today was different,the place was cold so we had to keep our coats on despite sitting by radiator which was off. Soup was ok but lukewarm, pate was awful could not eat it not sure what had a very strange after taste have had it here before but was not in a pot.when we sat down the cutlery was thrown at us and the coffee was bitter. Shame so enjoyed it here but alas won't be coming back.

Called in Sunday morning for a coffee and cake The coffee ( one a cappuccino and the other a flat white ) were very weak , tasteless with horrible thin milk ( too much milk ) The scone I had was served hot ( blasted in microwave ) with very cold hard jam from fridge and cream that was probably double cream not clotted just in a small pot The whole experience was a complete letdown and the staff who were milling about had to be asked twice would they take out order . A visit never to be repeated or recommended to anyone .

Moved to this village a few years ago but never visited here as not a fan of chocolate !! However popped in at the weekend and was pleasantly surprised , will be back again to this friendly little shop. Lovely fresh food and friendly staff

Four friends and myself visited this establishment after a beautiful walk around Tarleton. The weather had been glorious and we had booked in advance. The waitresses were attentive and we could enjoy our meal. Neither too little nore too much attention, but just right was the universal agreement from all five. The beautiful quiche with a light salad and pickled vegetables was delightful and the carrot and coriander soup, mushrooms on toast and tuna flatbread were equally popular. Various teas served in cafetieres satiated thirsts although it would have been a little optional extra if we could have chosen skimmed milk add opposed to semi skimmed. But that's just a nice to have. Excellent free parking to the rear. Would highly recommend. Ignore negative reviews. ..the waitresses were super. Keep up the good work.

Food was nice however a limited menu Was sat in a corner and felt forgotten about! We where in for quite a while, catching up with an ex work mate so we had a lot to discuss! Would have bought more drinks or cakes if we where asked but as we where not we didn't bother!! It's a real shame as this used to be a really nice place with attentive staff :(

Even though I live near here I've never been so decided to try it. Two coffees with cream.One being citrus in flavour and the other dark.I had a melon refresher. MASSIVE Scone with cream jam and butter. Large slice of chocolate cake.The menu looked delicious too!Friendly staff and loads of chocolate treats on sale.

We found our way to this eatery in a village setting thanks to Tripadvisor reviews, and it proved to be a great choice for lunch. Located in an older, character building, this is another place which is completely modern inside. At the back of the building is a large carpark, so easy for parking, and then you enter through doors at the rear of the building. The place clearly appeals to a range of age groups - there were several families with young children, right through to older people being taken to lunch by their adult children. The menu offers a range of choices too, and you can step up to the counter to peruse plenty of sweet things on offer. Our order was taken in good time, and came out in good time too. On a Saturday lunchtime, the service staff were young females who seemed to be well trained. Our daughter ordered one of the expensive hot chocolates - they wouldn't be my kind of thing, but seemed ideal for a treat for youngsters. Of course her hot chocolate was very filling, and meant she couldn't finish her meal! I particularly enjoyed the sandwiches - freshly made, they came with a generous side salad garnish and crisps. For £2 extra, you could add a mug of soup, which was appealing on a winter's day. If you are in the area, this place is a good option for lunch or coffee with a sweet treat.

Excellent service , friendly efficient staff ,superb quality of food, well priced. You may have to book at just times but it's worth booking .

Called in today for a chocolate tea, no one came for our order so went to the counter to order, paid at the counter also. After a while we left and said goodbye to the staff as we made our exit.. We were into the park when this loud voice shouted. 'HAVE YOU PAID?' We looked at her and she repeated, ' have you paid?' We said ' yes, we have paid'. Not content with that, she then asked if we paid at the counter. Yes, we said. All this across the carpark loudly. She did say sorry, but it was sorry too late. Won't be calling back there anytime soon.
