ACCORDING to a poll of visitors, York’s chocolate doesn’t quite cut the mustard, which we think is quite extraordinary considering this city was built on confectionery expertise.

Families at York’s Chocolate Story in King’s Square dropped this bombshell when presented with leading brands from around the country. Half of them named Galaxy the best, Dairy Milk was voted runner-up, while Aero came third as York’s highest rated bar.

Each to their own, but at the risk of sounding biased this leaves us with something of a bitter taste.

And it’s enough to make Joseph Rowntree turn in his grave.
