🍫 Our Story: A Pembrokeshire Passion

Every great story starts with a little bit of love — and ours began with a love for chocolate.

Seven years ago, The Fudge Foundry was born in my home kitchen here in beautiful Pembrokeshire. As a trained chef and patisserie specialist, I’ve always believed that food should spark joy — and fudge quickly became my favourite way to share that joy.

With every batch, I wanted to create something special: a moment of happiness, made from the finest ingredients and a whole lot of heart.

🏡 From Home Kitchen to Heart of Pembrokeshire

For the first two years, every single piece of fudge was handmade at home — late nights, lots of taste-testing (of course!), and the wonderful smell of chocolate filling the air.

But as word spread and demand grew, we knew it was time to take the next big step.

Five years ago — just before the world went into lockdown — we moved into our unit, which we turned into a dedicated fudge-making kitchen right here in Pembrokeshire. It was a leap of faith, but one that truly cemented our commitment to our craft and our community.

💕 A Family Business, Built on Love

Two years ago, The Fudge Foundry became a full family affair when my husband joined me full-time.

He shares my passion for creating the very best fudge, and together, we make a great team. His dedication and my culinary background are the perfect mix — the heart and soul behind every batch we make.

🌿 Our Ingredients: Local, Honest, and Delicious

We’ve always believed that the best fudge starts with the best ingredients. That’s why we only use the finest Belgian chocolate — from rich, dark tones to creamy white indulgence.

But it’s not just about chocolate; it’s about community too. We’re proud to work with amazing local suppliers who share our values:

🍀 Butter from right here in Pembrokeshire
🌊 Sea salt harvested on the Welsh coast for our famous Salted Caramel Fudge
🌶️ Chillies from the Pembrokeshire Chilli Farm for that fiery kick.
🍏 Apple Spiced Rum from the Pembrokeshire Cider Company for our Apple Spiced Rum Fudge.

When you taste our fudge, you’re not just enjoying a sweet treat — you’re tasting a little piece of Pembrokeshire itself. Each bite tells a story of passion, partnership, and local pride.

🔥 Great Flavours, Forged with Care

Today, seven years on, The Fudge Foundry continues to grow, but our philosophy remains simple:
Make every batch with love, honesty, and great ingredients.

So whether you’re a lifelong fudge fan or just someone with a sweet tooth looking for something special — welcome. You’ve found the right place.

At The Fudge Foundry, deliciousness is our main ingredient… and Great Flavours are Forged every single day.
