About Us

Pod & Briar is a small chocolatier business, based on the edge of the South Downs near Winchester. 

We are Lee and Nicci Bolinger. After lots of experience in chocolate making, we were excited to launch our chocolate business in 2020 (just before the global pandemic, since you ask!).

We hand-craft our chocolates in our small commercial chocolate kitchen. We don’t have a physical shop - all of our sales are online, but you can also find us at food and craft fairs.

The inspiration for our creations comes from a love of brilliant British craft producers making amazing ingredients and a personal interest in foraging for wild fruits and plants. We decided that our entire range would be as low in allergens as possible, working to create an entirely vegan, plant-based range which is soya free too. The hard work is paying off - in 2023 and 2024 we were awarded three Great Taste awards.

We hope you enjoy our chocolates as much as we enjoy making them.
