Hampshire Hotel

The Hampshire Hotel or "The Hampy" is a little old hotel at 110 Grote Street. It has been renovated throughout and there is a Café area at the back which is nicely furnished with an indoor eating area and an outdoor area with umbrellas. As it was raining when Merkel and Myrtle visited the indoor area was the best choice. The Café area has a good hotel menu and they do a huge steak standwich.

The hot chocolate comes in coffex brand cup for $4.00 or a mug for $4.50. As it was a cold and wintery day Merkel went for the mug. The hot chocolate was topped with a white froth and a liberal sprinkle of chocolate powder. The drink was creamy and reasonably chocolaty.
