Popcorn Shed’s unique artisanal production process.
- We use the highest quality ingredients and make a fresh batch of caramel from scratch to ensure freshness and the best possible taste.
- After making the caramel and air popping the corn, the popcorn is tumbled in the fresh caramel or cheese to coat the kernels evenly.
- Next, the popcorn is scattered with melted chocolate, nuts or dried fruit for a deep and rich flavour and a lovely texture.
- Lastly, the popcorn is cooled quickly before bagging it airtight to ensure the freshest and crunchiest popcorn you’ll ever taste.
‘We take pride in creating elaborate and whimsical flavours with artful attention to detail. Join us on a taste journey and let us lead your tastebuds through this popcorn immersive experience.’ Laura Jackson Director AKA Kernel-In-Chief.
DIY Movie Night Make-At-Home Kits
With inflation hitting 9.1% last month, rapidly increasing costs are putting an extra squeeze on household budgets, and the cost of going to the movies is no exception. Average cinema ticket prices have risen every year in the past 20 years; in 2001, the average cinema ticket was £4.14; in 2021 by comparison it hit £7.52. As the cost of essentials such as food and clothing surges, many cash-strapped households are cutting back on out-of-home experiences such as going to the movies.
Since the Covid pandemic hit, Popcorn Shed experienced a surge in the number of customers purchasing popcorn for movie nights in, and although growth has slowed since the UK came out of lockdown in 2021, the underlying trend remains. As a result, the brand is launching in July two DIY Movie Night In popcorn kits so you can have that ‘cinema experience’ at home.
‘Here at the Shedquarters we understand that customers enjoy the taste and experience of freshly popped popcorn at the movies. This is why we’ve created the Popcorn Shed Seasoning and Toppers Kits – so you can make freshly popped popcorn at home, and flavour it as you wish! Jazz up your popcorn by sprinkling, shaking and topping your popcorn to perfection, just how you like it!’ Director Sam Feller
- Popcorn Seasoning DIY Movie Kit – Includes popping kernels and 5 popcorn seasonings (Maple Bacon, Sweet Chilli, Salt & Vinegar, Chocolate and Toffee) 625g. Vegan
- Popcorn Toppers DIY Movie Kit – Includes popping kernels and 5 popcorn toppings (Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Fudge Chocolate honeycomb, Chocolate beans) 704g.
ABOUT POPCORN SHED
Popcorn Shed’s humble beginnings began in 2016, when founders and cousins Sam and Laura started experimenting with popcorn recipes in Laura’s mother’s kitchen. As recipe development continued to create the perfect tasting popcorn, so did the mess and they were banished to the garden shed in Laura’s mother’s back garden. The family started referring to the shed as the ‘Popcorn Shed’, and that’s how they stumbled upon a name for their burgeoning business.
