Tried to charge my partner £34 for not even half a bag of sweets! He refused to pay and we left, not being able to get our head around it as you could literally buy a whole aisle of sweets in some sho... See more

Aware they're expensive sweets but I needed my fix at a concert last night so loaded up the bag. Have almost chipped my teeth on every single sweet. They are all completely rock hard and no doubt out... See more

Avoid going here at the Trafford centre

Visited the Kingdom of Sweets at the Trafford Centre as my son wanted a couple sweets. £2 odd for 100g. When it came to paying it was a rip off. The price “apparently” came to £8 but then the guy wrote £8.02 in his card reader so I asked why he put more on when he said £8, he said the wind was making the machine fluctuate. He re-set and it came to £7 odd, I made sure he put the correct price in the card reader. They give you massive bags so it weighs more and I literally only got a couple sweets for my little boy. Should have known better and gone to the sweet shop inside. AVOID AT ALL COSTS RIP OFF AND THEY PUT THE WRONG COST IN THE CARD READER WHICH IS WRONG ON ALL COUNTS!

Absolute rip off

Absolute rip off, giant bags and scoops to try and confuse you, we bought 3 bags and came to £39. I would have paid maybe £10 for the same amount in my local sweet shop. What makes it worse is, they weren't even good quality, they looked like popular jelly sweets but tasted rubbish. Will never be fooled by them again.

huge rip off!!

Have never seen such a rip off in my life. Wasn’t very clear on their prices at the stall, went conservatively on putting sweets in the bag. Only to find that it was £2.99 per 100g… guy in front went crazy when they told him his bag was £90 so basically that was 3kg.

In comparison you can go online and get 3kg from lots of places for £20 or less.

Tried to check their website but seems it’s been designed by an amateur who doesn’t think it’s important to make sure it works on safari or many other popular mobile browsers.

Wouldn’t recommend. Stay well clear of them.

Bag’s better quality!

Knew they were a rip off but bought some anyway. Thought the empty bag was heavy so weighed it when we came home. 20gms! Makes to sweets even more expensive.

Rudeness/judging people

Visited today for a special family trip to London following a rubbish 6 months. The manager/owner snatched my sons sweets and told him that be expensive and you will have to pay for them! Wait a minute, I am his parent who was stood with him and I will decide what’s enough, in actual fact I told him he could have whatever he wanted!

What a rip off price

What a rip off price. Went to the one in Manchester outside Trafford Park Shopping Centre (in the fair ground). Paid over £12 for not many for two young children. By Lindt chocolate for that price. What a rip it was.

If I could give no stars I would AVOID

If I could give no stars I would. They don’t give a receipt, make sure you get one. Sweets have gone off and gummies are rock hard, they deleted my comments on social media also, yes they are really expensive but I was willing to see passed that as it was a treat for my sons birthday. They went in the bin, and they would do nothing even though I paid via card and could prove purchase they wouldn’t do anything

Rip off!

This shop is a rip off as all products are for sale at extremely high prices. Also lots of out of date sweets and staff who don’t care! Visited Piccadilly Circus branch to look for retro sweets and came away empty handed and thankful that I didn’t buy anything. Obviously aimed at tourists with money to burn. Reported out of date sweets to their website but (as expected) have not received any reply.

Do not shop here!

Do not shop here!! Store looks great and very appealing to kids, but it's disgusting the prices they charge £25.12 for pick and mix which had very little sweeties in it. Will not be back, hope it closes down as they are ripping people off.
