A bar of Camfield's Fairy Milk Chocolate. (TV: The Web of Fear)

Camfield's Fairy Milk Chocolate was a brand of chocolate bar on Earth in the 20th century.

Having escaped the Robot Yeti's deadly web at Monument tube station, Jamie McCrimmon and Driver Evans stumbled across St. Paul's where there was a platform vending machine selling bars of Camfield's Fairy Milk Chocolate. Fancying some chocolate, Evans tried the machine without inserting any money and discovered, to his surprise, there was a chocolate bar in the machine's open compartment. (TV: The Web of Fear)
