Hotel Chocolat, Northampton in Northampton

Its location in the middle of warehouses in an industrial area makes it far from residential areas but the trip is worth it. And the number of customers who filed it late afternoon and a weekday attested to its attractiveness. I had the hot chocolate with chilli and it was a hit! And left with a box of “Serious Dark Fix” after being registered in their customer loyalty program. An experience worth repeating

Just a factory outlet shop next to the factory itself which is on an industrial estate. Plenty of free parking but the shop itself didn’t have much that was cheaper than on an ordinary shop or the Hotel Chocolat app. Some short dated boxes of chocolates and I did buy 4 slabs for a bit less (£14) than the usual 3 slabs for £15. It’s a shame that you can’t do a tour of the factory but we were lucky in as much as we were visiting family nearby so it wasn’t out of our way. I’ll probably pop in again next time we’re in the area but certainly wouldn’t go out of my way to visit the shop.

I visited the Hotel Chocolat distributor shop expecting to find some good bargains, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. This isn’t a factory shop, just a regular shop at the distributor. I thought there might be a few deals here and there, but the only items reduced were coffee and chocolate, and even then, only if you have a membership card. It feels like they’re simply taking advantage of their location by the M1, rather than offering any real discounts. Overall, quite a letdown if you’re hoping for a bargain.

Same price as local stores, only a couple of discounted items, don't waste your time going out of your way to visit. They have the same stock

Not factory shop ! Just a shop at the distributor. Disappointing as thought the odd bargain may be had. Coffee and chocolate reduced if you have a membership card. Think they are just taking advantage of the M1 location.
