Chimney Fire Coffee, established in 2017 by Dan Webber, operates as a B Corp™ Certified specialty coffee roaster based at Denbies Wine Estate in Surrey. The founder’s background in coffee and cocoa traceability in Ghana significantly influences the company’s ethical sourcing approach.
The roastery maintains exceptional sourcing standards, consistently paying farmers at least 35% above Fairtrade prices, with payments averaging 90% above standard rates. Their commitment to sustainability earned them B Corp certification in 2022, marking them as Surrey’s fastest-growing coffee roastery.
Operating from their roasting facility at Denbies Wine Estate, where they relocated from their original Ranmore Manor location, the company utilises a 30kg small-batch roaster for production. Their roastery shop and refill station, open Monday through Saturday, serves as both a production facility and a direct point of contact with customers.
The company demonstrates strong environmental consciousness through their packaging choices, using certified 100% compostable materials for all their coffee bags and pods, including valves and zippers (BS EN 13432 certified). Their sustainable business practices extend beyond packaging to include careful consideration of their environmental impact throughout their supply chain.
Chimney Fire Coffee has established itself as a significant player in the UK specialty coffee scene, combining ethical sourcing practices with quality roasting techniques. Their focus on sustainability, direct trade relationships, and community engagement has earned them recognition in the industry, while their B Corp certification validates their commitment to responsible business practices.
