Whittard Of Chelsea is a small little shop situated on Bridlesmith Gate, just a short walk from…read moreNottingham's Market Square. The stock selection is wide and varied - from Chinese Pu-Erch tea to the more traditional English Breakfast tea and from freshly ground coffee to raw beans. The shop also supplies hot chocolate, beverage making equipment and biscuits. The items are certainly not the cheapest you'll find, but farmers are supported in their home countries and the quality is good. 3 for 2 offers can often be found which helps lessen the individual cost per unit. The gift sets are something to look out for. They're really quite lovely and beautifully packaged.

Hotel Chocolat is a few steps above other chocolate companies, both in quality and price! It's…read moredefinitely one for a treat, or for a special gift for someone, but if you do decide to buy something I think it's worth the money. As a big chocolate fan I have sampled many of their choccy delights, and you really can taste the quality. The shop stocks quite a few varieties of chocolates there are huge boxes of chocolates with different centres, and little bags of smaller chocolate treats. They do an amazing proper drinking chocolate, and a wide array of chocolate covered fruits. And have you ever seen their enormous chocolate slabs? It's worth popping into the shop just to see those they are gorgeous, massive slabs of chocolate with different flavours and toppings, and the size of them has to be seen to be believed! Unfortunately the large price tag rules them out for every day eating (wouldn't that be nice!!) but thankfully there are also miniature versions of some of the slabs that aren't quite such a stretch on the budget!

I guess we have all seen chocolate stores but this place is definitely towards the top end of them…read more If Thorntons is your reliable Ford Mondeo then this place is a little more edgy and racy like a Audi R8. The types of chocolate available are enough to make anyones mouth water as you take a walk around and count the 1000's of calories that you could easily devour in just five minutes alone in there! My favourite has to be these large 'slabs' of chocolate that they have on sale. Flavours of them vary, but there is a great one that is crammed with fruits and has whole berrys sat on top of the delicious thick chocolate. The place is a nice visit and the staff are good. Once you have decided on what to give into then it is well packaged and comes in a nice bag and so makes a great gift.

They sell sweets and chocolate bars from other countries (mainly America) and they are a bit expensive as with all sweets shops of the same type.
