The Chocolate Manor
What they do: Handcrafted Bespoke Belgian Chocolates for events, weddings, corporate and promotional gifts, Printed Chocolate Bars for retail and unique chocolate creations for hospitality.
Tip: Have your own message or image printed on individual chocolates or bars via their website
The Chocolate Manor was established in Geri Martin’s home kitchen in Coleraine in November 2012, and soon our unique bespoke chocolate creations, including the ‘all chocolate board’, captured the imagination of local chocolate lovers. In Summer 2013 the business received an Innovation Voucher from InvestNI and work on developing our range of printed chocolates began. We moved to new premises in April 2014 to expand the business further.
Our range now includes a selection of delicious and bespoke chocolate creations for corporate clients, weddings, events and for use as promotional gifts. In early 2015 we launched our range of printed chocolate bars for the retail sector, with 10 quirky designs, and a bespoke service available for stockists also. We also work with the catering and hospitality industry to deliver unique chocolate pieces to complement their desserts, for special events, and personalised boxes for special guests.
In Summer 2015 we relaunched www.thechocolatemanor.com to include our ‘Bespoke Bar Builder’, which allows customers to have their own personal message printed onto the finest Belgian chocolate.

Islander Rathlin Kelp
This 4th generation fishing family on the island of Rathlin off the north coast know all about the health benefits of seaweed. The McFauls also know that the cool clear waters they harvest from produce some of the best quality kelp in the world. It’s where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Irish Sea. Unlike other kelp producers, they actually farm kelp on ropes, allowing them to select their preferred species, achieve consistency and be much more sustainable than with wild harvesting.
Uniquely in Europe, the organic kelp is not dried, but sorted, cut into noodles and ‘tagliatelle’ shaped products, then blanched and vacuum packed and frozen at their facility on Rathlin Island. This process means it is ready to use, verdant green, very low in salt (.2grms per 100grms) and hugely versatile.
The ready to use can be used in a salad, in soups, stir fries, as a garnish, as an ingredient in sauces and condiments. It can also be put through a processor and added to bread and pasta dough, giving added moisture, enhanced appearance and that subtle ocean taste.
Islander Kelp has more calcium, iron and roughage than any other vegetable – it is a true super food. Like they say; good for the ocean, good to eat, good for you.
PRODUCT LIST Laminaria Digitata, Saccharina Latissima and Alaria Esculanta. Fresh and frozen noodle cut, tagliatelle cut, kelp sheets and their fabulous kelp pesto.
Islander kelp also supply raw frozen Laminaria in bulk for production of umami/dashi stocks.
