The Best Chocolate Shops in The North of England

The North of England spans several counties from Cheshire and Greater Manchester right up to Cumbria and Northumberland. The English region boasts a generous amount of chocolate makers, from bean-to-bar specialists through to chocolatiers and small batch chocolate makers. The area is also home to many outlets of national high street chains.

I've split out Yorkshire producers into a separate list which you can find here.

I've excluded supermarkets and franchise stores from this list. I urge you to support your local chocolate makers as many of them are crafting superb quality chocolate treats and gifts. I've listed bean to bar chocolate makers seperately. If you are a real chocolate fan, try a chocolate bar from your local craft chocolate maker and you'll be blown away by how different it tastes compared to mass-produced chocolate. I've also listed national chocolate chains seperately, and have defined a chain as a business that has at least two stores.

Run a chocolate shop but missing from my list? Please get in touch as I'd love to add you to my growing list.

Disclaimer: Distances in this calculator are approximate and are listed as the crow flies (you know, the fastest way to get to chocolate). Online shops are normally open to place orders 24/7, subject to availability. For physical shops, check store opening hours before travelling to avoid disappointment.
