KENT CRISPS
CANTERBURY CRISPS + HANDMADE CRISPS
In 2016 we were very proud to have been awarded Food Producer of the Year at the Taste of Kent Awards and our crisps have won over 10 Great Taste Awards, most recently for our Smoked Chipotle Chilli flavour.Now in our sixth year since launching, Kent Crisps has become one of the leading names in premium quality British snacks, but our journey is only just beginning. Based in Kent, but going global, we are now available in ten countries around the world with an ever-growing range of flavours.
Our signature approach is to bring you some of Kent’s best products and combine these to create flavours we all know and love. Our flavours take you on a journey across the county from Canterbury to Seasalter and Faversham to Biddenden.We have partnered with some of the finest producers across the county, including Cheesemakers of Canterbury with their traditional Ashmore Farmhouse Cheese, Kent Chilli Farm who grow over 50 varieties of chilli as well as some of our favourite drinks producers, Shepherd Neame and Biddenden Vineyards, to name just a few.
GOUPIE CHOCOLATE
VEGAN CHOCOLATE + KENT CHOCOLATES
Goupie is a devilishly moreish confectionery product, hand-made to a genuine family recipe in Kent. Goupie currently has 13 vegan flavours and 7 gluten-free.
Goupie originally came from grandma Noble (Shirley), Janet's mother. It was a treat that was enjoyed in the Noble household for as long as anyone can remember. This has caused great difficulties in remembering exactly where it came from and why on earth it was named Goupie! Shirley's original recipe can still be found in her hand-written cookbook, though it's carefully locked away at Goupie HQ, so no luck in making your own - very hush hush! This is the recipe that saw the Noble/Simpson family through 50 years of Goupie making. It was enjoyed at many a family event, car drive and even in extra-special packed lunches!
The business is now run by a mother-daughter duo, Janet and Grace, with remarkably few arguments impeding the way to further success!Goupie has always looked to do business in the way that we believe all businesses should be run. This doesn't just cover one singular problem, but a raft of issues that almost all business encounter on a daily basis; from treatment of staff to sourcing of ingredients, to the sustainability of its packaging (both that which the customer sees and that which it doesn't). It's important to us that our products taste good, without costing the Earth (physically, or metaphorically).
