Having both spent our entire adult lives working in the restaurant industry, with always being too exhausted to make the most of our creative pursuits, we knew that something had to change. We had seemingly endless time during the lockdowns to re-evaluate how to proceed with our lives.

During this period we could concentrate on the things we enjoyed doing, Jessie had endless craft projects to keep her busy, and Simon experimented in the kitchen. We discovered the art of making highly decorative bonbons. Shortly after, Wood Row Chocolate was conceived and we took the leap into the great unknown.

Four years have passed, and we continue to improve our product and inject our passion into everything we produce. We have received multiple awards with The Craft Guild Of Fine Food, now holding a total of seven Great Taste Awards, one of which being given the highly coveted three star award for our passion fruit and mango caramel. We have recently been recognised as ‘Best Local Food/Drink Producer’ for the region in the Muddy Stilettos Awards 2025.

We continue to be humbled by the overwhelming support we receive for our small business, we appreciate it every time someone purchases from us. It brings us immense pride to know that our chocolates are being given to loved ones for all occasions, and if we can put a smile on their face and spread some joy, then we have accomplished our goal.
