Our Story

Started in late 2015, Dorset Chilli Shop was created as home to the Best of British brands. The 'Shop' was a bricks and mortar location, in Moordown, Bournemouth and became the go to place for chilli enthusiasts to shop for their chilli goodies. The website soon followed as did outdoor food and chilli festivals.

Within 3 years, the physical location had to go, as the online 'shop' seemed to perform better, as it is with most shops nowadays. This was such a good decision due to the approaching pandemic of 2019/2020.

In 2020, we merged with Grim Reaper Foods creating an impressive repertoire of three brands, Grim Reaper, Dorset Chilli and Chilli Alchemist to include chocolates, oils and dessert sauces.

Focus is to curate more UK brands but also some key EU brands to offer. Keep an eye out for new and exciting chilli products, here at the Dorset Chilli Shop. As we have had presence in Europe as Grim Reaper for 15 years, and met some great producers, so we also thought it only fair to introduce the EU brands to the UK.

The team consists of Russ, Ryan, Dave, Nathan, Sharron, Andy, Chris and Annabelle.
