Cadbury is bringing back one of its legendary chocolate bars after it was discontinued more than two decades ago.
And fans are already saying they “can’t wait” to get their hands on it.
Not long after it chose to discontinue one of its popular chocolate bars after noticing a decline in sales last year, and merely months after rival retailer Nestlé made the “difficult decision” to axe the nostalgic chocolate biscuit bars , Breakaways, Cadbury has decided to make the days of chocolate fans instead of ruining it, for once.
That’s because the beloved confectionary company has announced that one of its fan-favourite chocolate bars from the 90s is set to make a long-awaited comeback.
For sweet tooths who are quite partial to their milk and white chocolate, then how both in one sound? That’s right, it’s been a long time coming, but Cadbury has revealed that it’ll be relaunching the massively-popular Top Deck bar as another way of celebrating the company’s 200th anniversary.
The Top Deck bar was first launched all the way back in 1993, and features a layer of smooth white chocolate on top of a classic Dairy Milk chocolate base.
Giving chocolate lovers the best of both worlds, the Top Deck bar is still sold in Australia and South Africa, and even briefly reappeared exclusively at B&M back in 2020, despite it not having been a permanent feature on UK shop shelves since the early noughties.
But now, it’s back… well, just for a little while anyway.

As mentioned, in a bid to properly mark Cadbury’s continued 200th anniversary celebrations, the Top Deck bar will return to supermarket shelves later this month for a limited run, and the company says it’ll be like “a trip down memory lane for 90s babies”.
Expected to set shoppers back £1.85 for a 110g bar, the returning Top Deck bar will be wrapped in what Cadbury is calling “vintage-inspired packaging from the original”, while the actual bar itself has had a little revamp to bring it more in-line with how Cadbury’s other chocolate sharing bars look at the moment.
Speaking to The Grocer ahead of the long-awaited Top Deck return, Cadbury’s Brand Manager, Mara Popa, said the company is “delighted” to be answering fans’ requests by relaunching the chocolate bar for “a limited time”.
“With two delicious layers of milk and creamy white chocolate, every bite of Cadbury Top Deck will reward you with pure indulgence.”
At this time, it’s unknown exactly how long Top Deck will be returning to UK shop shelves for, but what we do know is that any time is better than nothing.
Keep your eyes peeled for more information to be revealed on the grand return.
Because one Fern Modern Sushi wasn't enough, we've now got two.
And guess what? It's even better than the first.
Fern Modern Sushi located in the unassuming Central Arcade has become a firm foodie favourite after opening just a couple years ago.
Run by the wonderful Chef Fern, who you could say is somewhat of a local celebrity at this point, the restaurant is known for serving delicious sushi with the freshest fish possible and traditional Japanese dishes with modern flair.

Full with hungry punters no matter the time of day, it's no surprise that Chef Fern has just opened Fern Modern Sushi 2.0 on Park Row.
This beautiful new space is serving up all the classic Fern dishes, from stacked donburi bowls and perfectly rolled sushi to miso glazed cod and hearty bowls of ramen.

Different for this location, though, is their exclusive cocktail menu - so you can wine and dine to your heart's content.
The interior has also levelled up, complete with a huge open kitchen so you can pull up a chair and eat whilst watching the magic happen.

And this isn't all that Chef Fern is up to, after opening Tori Nori on Vicar Lane a few months ago this will be her third restaurant in the city centre, and that is no easy feat.
She's even got another restaurant imminently opening in the Central Arcade which will be focused on traditional katsu dishes, and we wouldn't be at all surprised if she had something else lined up in the pipeline.

Fern Modern Sushi 2.0 officially opens on 19 November, but is open now for soft launch with limited bookings.
A pub in Leeds has been crowned the third best in Britain by The Good Food Guide
Clementine Hall
A Leeds pub has been crowned one of the very best in the country by The Good Food Guide.
The trusted guide has just released its 100 Best Pubs in Britain list, and we're very chuffed with the results indeed.
Taking the coveted number three spot is our very own The Highland Laddie, a 100-year-old city centre institution that reopened in April 2025 in the hands of new owners Sam Pullan and Nicole Deighton.
These guys also run the Empire Cafe, so you just know it's going to be good.
Last year they soared straight to the top of the list and were crowned the best pub in the whole of Britain by the guide.

This time, the Queen's Arms over in Eccles came number one followed by The Cow in Notting Hill.
We still think bagging third place is quite the achievement, and if you've visited The Highland Laddie yourself you'll know just how much of a special place it is.
Don't just take our word for it, The Good Food Guide labelled the Laddie as 'a true pub with a genuine community vibe'.
They also said: "Reenergised by the team behind the Empire Cafe in 2025, this is everything that a proper English pub should be – 'oh, and they have a mustard menu!'
"Inside, the Laddie ticks all the boxes, preserving the essentials of a traditional old-school boozer and maintaining a genuine sense of community while letting the good times roll. As for the food, it’s ‘both high-end and accessible’, pulling in ideas from all over, whether you fancy a freshly shucked Lindisfarne oyster, a keema toastie or an elevated ham roll with bread cooked over the coals.
"Dig deeper and you might find a lobster madeleine with Yorkshire chorizo butter, a treacle onion tart or pork schnitzel with two fried eggs. Club steaks are served by the inch, there’s no creative let-up when it comes to sides, and the nostalgia is ramped up with the likes of strawberry and Champagne trifle with ‘sprinkles’.
"But never forget that this is a self-proclaimed ‘drinkers’ pub’ dispensing everything from ‘properly served’ British brews and ’the best Guinness in Leeds’ to a staggering line-up of whisky optics."
