About us
Specialist Crepe Maker , Crepe Mix Supplier and Creperie Franchises
La Creperie de Sophie has come such a long way since its humble beginnings. From a little market stall in London to dominating the crepe making business market place in the UK, here is a brief summary of our journey so far.
History of the brand
Created in 2008, LCDS was set up following its French founder’s main passions for food and business innovation. Today, the company ethos remains unchanged, we offer top quality products and services with respect to tradition and French eating habits.
We operate from Llantwit Major, South Wales and sell a range of fresh crepes, crepe mix, and buckwheat galette mix. We have also developed successful Franchise models for individuals wanting to start their own Creperie, as well as we assist food outlets in their business setup.
Our Mobile Creperie operates from Farmers Markets, shops, delis and restaurants. We can cater for any occasion offering a truly unique French dining experience. We turn Crepes & Galettes at Corporate Events, Weddings, Private Parties, School Fetes, Markets and Festivals. We believe that to eat a good crepe is a very enjoyable experience. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Why ‘La Creperie de Sophie’? Because there is a lovely woman behind the founder’s inspiration… In fact, Sophie is the vital element of the company, and nothing would have ever started without her support. She’s unknown for most, behind the scene for others, but always in the heart of the business for us…
Why the Breton Flag? Because crêpes and buckwheat, gluten-free galettes were first made in Brittany, France. To date, the tradition remains: a true ‘Breton’ wouldn’t spend a week without their favourite treat, accompanied with great cider of course!
