ABOUT US
The Chappel Chocolate House, run by Chocolatier, Sarah Knights, offers chocolate workshops, demonstrations, parties for children and adults, workshops/courses and team building events at our venue at Poplar Nurseries, Marks Tey, as well as making and selling handmade artisan chocolates.
Sarah says ‘As well as making handmade chocolates we specialise in the tuition of chocolate making at our venue’. If you would like to know about how it all started then read on!
Before starting on my ‘chocolate journey’ I worked in the telecoms industry and then with my husband running our own railway engineering business where I was (and still am) Finance Director in my spare time! The railway business also operates Poplar Miniature Railway at Poplar Nurseries Marks Tey.
In May 2012, I was asked to run a chocolate stall at a local pub ‘fund raiser’ and loved it so much I decided to set up my own business. Since then I have expanded to make a wider range of chocolates, which as well as selling from my shop at Poplar Nurseries I sell to local hotels, farm shops, florists and seasonal markets.
My customers currently include The Angel Hotel Bury, The Salthouse at Ipswich, Dilly’s florist Colchester, The Hearing Centre Colchester.
I specialise in the design and production of handmade chocolates for special events, running chocolate parties, giving demonstrations and holding workshops. I can also offer private tuition on chocolate making. I am dedicated to producing the very best handmade chocolates, using high quality ingredients.
I use fine Belgian chocolate to make a range of chocolates for children and adults which include truffles, pralines (moulded and cut), moulded chocolates, bars, lollies, solid and hollow shapes and confectionery using both traditional and my own recipes.
