It began with potato crisps and now the choice is endless. Root vegetable crisps, apple crisps, Munchy seeds, chilli puffs, sesame peanuts and even Habas Fritas and Mojada (broad beans to you!) Smokehouse nut selections, jars of pistachios and olives too numerous to mention - but the cocktail vinci and garlic stuffed ones take top honours alongside the sweet semi-dried tomatoes and onions in balsamic vinegar.

Biscuits for cheese? Choose from a superb selection of Hebridean Oatcakes, Duchy Originals, Fudges and the Fine Cheese Co.

Now for the naughties! How about sticky toffee pudding pudding from Cartmel or even more locally made by Jo’s Cheshire Kitchen; Belgian chocolate pudding or rice pudding with clotted cream or even Lemon cheesecake, or chocolate roulade from Cook - we've tested them all! Serve any of the tempting desserts with a dollop of Cheshire Farm Ice Cream’s Cheshire Plain… mmmmm!

For tea-time we can offer you local farmhouse biscuits, country cookies, dark chocolate ginger biscuits, Florentines, shortbread and amazingly good Teoni Cookies.

Pocket naughties include really fine chocolate, marzipan bars, licquorice, old-fashioned sweeties, the fruitiest jelly babies and melt in your mouth fudge. Indulge your favourite chocolate lover with a box of hand-made Cheshire Chocolates, a miniature box of truffles from Charbonnel & Walker, or even a sleeve of James' chocolate pigs - one pink pig in every packet!
