Director, David Stacey, who will be getting into character for the launch by dressing as Thor, said: “We thought it would be a good idea to re-ignite a traditional Derbyshire recipe, and with Bonfire Night coming up Thor cake seemed an ideal option.

“It is something that I’m sure our customers will look forward to getting their teeth into.”
