Dear all. As you will doubtless know this week (9 – 15 Nov) is traditionally International Toffee & Fudge Week. A time when the whole world puts its differences behind them and comes together to celebrate the globes’ favourite sugar based confectionary. In recent years, we in the Uk, have been able to commemorate our great British caramelising tradition with a visit to our very own 75%-built “Fudgeworth” (the model village of Beckworth made entirely of fudge). The site’s “builders” Anthony “Tony” Worrall-Thompson and son Heston Blumenthal have tirelessly continued to build through all the lockdowns (and who hope to finish the council estate by Easter) but as the village is shut due to lockdown no visitors are allowed. But ladies and gents and children of Beckworth the plucky duo will this week be hosting virtual tours via the hotels website. Why not book your tour, its just £37.49 a head… and don’t forget let’s get making more fudge as the duo still need thousands of fudge bricks. As an equal opportunities hotel with wheelchair access there’s no excuse for anyone on benefits or furlough not dropping off fudge or having a tour online. Thanks, Sandy Luton, General Manager, Hill View Hotel
