The wintry weather is here - what better time to have an indulgent hot chocolate to warm you up on a cold, wet and windy day?
We all have our favourite ways to enjoy a hot chocolate, whether that’s a straightforward version with milk or one with irresistible toppings such as whipped cream, flakes, or in some cases marshmallows and a flake.
Whether you are heading in to work in the morning and looking to pick up something on your way there or about to head out for walk in one of Bristol’s lovely parks, we’ve put together a list of eight of the best spots in the city to have a hot chocolate.
