Coquet Chocolates

Coquet Chocolates is a boutique artisanal confectionery brand based in Northumberland, England. Founded by entrepreneur Roz Tinlin in Rothbury, the brand was created to celebrate and promote the local heritage of the Coquetdale area. The name itself is derived from the River Coquet, which flows through the heart of the region.

All products are handcrafted in small batches within the United Kingdom, specifically in the Northumberland area. The brand is known for its creative flavors, such as its signature 'Clarts'—puddles of chocolate with luxury fruits and nuts named after the regional Geordie term for clumps of dirt. The company operates as an independent local business, focusing on high-quality ingredients and regional identity, often supplying local farm shops and markets rather than mass-market retailers.

Ownership of the brand remains with its founder through the private entity Coquet Confectioners Ltd. Unlike many confectionery brands acquired by global conglomerates, Coquet Chocolates maintains its status as an independent, family-run craft business rooted in the North East of England.
