Mrs Potts Chocolate House has been a staple of Park Street in Bristol since it first opened in September 2017 and, since then, it has moved to a bigger Park Street store and expanded to open others in Bath and Cardiff. Chocolate heaven, it stocks a range of homemade cakes, brownies, cookie sandwiches and - if I might be so bold - some of the best hot chocolates I have ever tasted.
I have been to Mrs Potts many, many times and I'm never disappointed. My go-to treat of choice is a raspberry and white chocolate blondie and a cup of Classic Dark 72 per cent hot chocolate. I love their hot chocolates so much that I regularly buy a pot of the chocolate flakes so I can try and make my own at home.
But my favourite time of year comes when Mrs Potts puts on its annual 'Hot Choctober' festival - a celebration of all things hot chocolate and autumn. The event lasts for the month of October and, in previous years, customers have been able to vote for their favourite hot chocolate creation and the winner is placed, if only temporarily, on the main menu for people to enjoy way past the month of October.
