This is a chocolate maker with a cafe attached. You have to go here for the delicious cakes - chocolate and stem ginger cake is a personal favourite. The hot chocolates are like a meal in themselves. They do savoury hot food too like a chilli with chocolate in it. Has to be tried. Walk across the top to Belper from ours on a Saturday for brunch or lunch to work up an appetite. Walk back to lose the calories or catch the 7.1 bus back to the bottom of our drive if you've eaten too much to walk!
