If there's one thing that can tempt us away from our usual wander around the historic streets of Chester, it's the unmistakable aroma of freshly made fudge.
That's why we're delighted to hear that Fudge Kitchen is opening a brand-new shop at 6-8 Watergate Street this August, its first new store in nearly a decade. Even better, it's only a pleasant stroll from Chester railway station, making it an irresistible first stop (or last stop!) for anyone arriving by train.
My wife and I are already making plans. The next time we're visiting Chester, there will definitely be a detour for a generous helping of delicious handcrafted fudge before we explore the city. Some treats are simply too good to resist!
For over 40 years, Fudge Kitchen has built a loyal following by doing things the traditional way. The proper way.
Rather than simply selling confectionery, each shop offers a theatrical experience, with skilled fudge makers preparing fresh batches throughout the day. Visitors can watch the craftsmanship, enjoy samples and discover just how much care goes into every creamy slice.
There's another reason to celebrate too. The Chester store will be the first Fudge Kitchen location powered entirely by renewable electricity, using electric cooking equipment as part of the employee-owned company's ongoing commitment to sustainability.
Since becoming employee-owned in 2022, the business has continued to champion responsible sourcing, zero-waste fudge making and environmentally conscious packaging.
Retail Director Ian McCluskey told That's Food and Drink that Chester's rich history, thriving visitor economy and independent shopping scene make it the perfect home for the latest Fudge Kitchen adventure, and it's easy to see why.
Chester is already packed with wonderful cafés, restaurants, independent shops and attractions, and this colourful new addition looks set to become another must-visit destination.
Whether you're visiting for a day out, shopping, sightseeing or simply looking for something delicious to take home, Fudge Kitchen promises an experience that's every bit as enjoyable as the fudge itself.
As for us? We suspect our next Chester trip will begin with "We'll just pop in for a sample..." and end with a rather heavier bag than we planned!
If you're planning a visit to Chester later this year, be sure to leave room for something wonderfully sweet.
