A Sweet Slice of Bath’s Heritage

Nestled in the cobbled Abbey Churchyard, just steps from the grand west front of Bath Abbey, Fudge Kitchen has been a fixture of the city’s sweet scene for over three decades. Since opening in the 1980s, this artisan confectionery has become a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth, drawing visitors with the irresistible aroma of butter, sugar, and cream wafting from its open kitchen. The shop’s location in one of Bath’s most atmospheric squares—surrounded by honey-coloured Georgian buildings and the Abbey’s soaring Gothic spires—adds to its charm, making it as much a part of the city’s character as the Roman Baths or the Royal Crescent.

Watching Fudge Come to Life

The heart of Fudge Kitchen is its live demonstration counter, where fudgeteers in crisp whites work copper pans of molten sugar and butter into smooth, glossy slabs of fudge. Visitors can watch the entire process: the careful heating, the precise folding, the addition of flavours and inclusions, and the final cutting into neat squares. This theatrical element turns a simple shopping trip into a mini experience, especially for children who are often mesmerised by the bubbling pans and the rhythmic stirring. The staff are typically happy to explain the process, share a bit of fudge history, and answer questions about ingredients and techniques.

Flavours to Tempt Every Palate

Fudge Kitchen offers a wide and ever-changing range of flavours, from timeless classics like vanilla, chocolate, and butterscotch to more adventurous combinations such as sea salt caramel, chocolate orange, and seasonal specials inspired by British fruits and spices. Many of the fudges are gluten-free, and there are dairy-free options available, making it accessible to a wide range of dietary needs. The shop encourages tasting before buying, so you can sample a few squares to find your favourite before deciding how many to take home. Gift boxes and hampers are also available, beautifully presented for birthdays, weddings, or as a thoughtful souvenir of a Bath visit.

A Treat for the Senses and the Soul

Stepping into Fudge Kitchen is a sensory delight: the warm, buttery scent, the soft clink of metal tools on copper, the vibrant colours of the fudge displayed in neat rows, and the cheerful banter of staff and customers. It’s a place that feels both traditional and lively, where the simple pleasure of a good sweet is elevated into a small celebration. Whether you’re grabbing a quick treat between sightseeing, looking for a unique gift, or simply want to pause and savour a moment of indulgence, Fudge Kitchen offers a warm, welcoming pause in the rhythm of a Bath day.
