Hotel Chocolat Factory Shop

My dad and I were driving through Huntingdon on the way to a party, and considering stopping off at Tescos for some wine and a small gift for my friend when we drove past a huge ‘Hotel Chocolat’ sign. Whaaa? Hotel Chocolat in Huntingdon? In the middle of the not particularly posh industrial estate off St Peters Road?! We had to turn the car around and investigate!
It turns out Huntingdon is the manufacturing base for the Hotel Chocolat folks, before they ship their choccies around the world! This isn’t the classiest location for chocolate BUT it is an excellent factory shop with 5% off the regular chocolates. They also sell large bags of chocolate for £5 called ‘lucky dips’ which are all the chocolates that were not quite perfect enough to go into the gift boxes. To be honest, I am not sure what was not perfect about them… they were all loooovely.
I bought a bag to give to my friend, and my dad bought another bag to give to my mum. Yay for excellent value, delicious chocolate in Huntingdon!

First thing to note is that as soon as you walk in the door, you are offered Chocolate to try (at least every time I have been there I have).
Shop is small, but has a very good range.
Some good offers.
Staff polite and know their stuff.
