In March 2014, the delectable story of Sam Joseph Chocolates unfolded as partners Sam and Claire, inspired by their pastry chef experiences in London, decided to bring their culinary magic back to Manchester. Setting up a production kitchen in Oldham, they passionately ventured into showcasing their delightful creations at every foodie market across the vibrant city.

As we approach a remarkable decade as part of the Market House family, our heartfelt gratitude extends to each and every customer who has supported us over the years. Your unwavering support has fuelled our passion, and we look forward to continuing to exceed your expectations for another fulfilling 10 years and beyond. Thank you for being a cherished part of our journey.

Claire's pastry chef career took root in Liverpool and navigated through Manchester and London, leading her to the position of head pastry chef in esteemed establishments. Alongside her culinary journey, Claire fortified her skills with a degree in accounting and finance, a vital asset in steering their joint venture to success. Claire's passion for exploration once led her on a globe-trotting round-the-world escapade, a stark contrast to her present contentment found in simple pleasures—a steaming cup of tea and a good book.
