Fudge: One Year On

Dear all. On behalf of local father and son chefs Anthony “Tony” Worrall-Thompson and Heston Blumenthal may I thank everyone who has made fudge bricks for them over the last 12 months. The chefs are now very close to opening “phase one” of “Fudgeworth” (a model village of Beckworth made entirely of fudge) to the public and this has been down to your help and the enthusiasm of the duo, have done all the building themselves without the use of outside contractors or heavy plant equipment. But it’s a big building project and we still need your help. Please continue to make fudge bricks, windows, doors etc and models of people, buses, cars and trains. And animals. We are an equal opportunities hotel with wheelchair access so there’s no excuse for anyone with fudge making skills not dropping off their confectionery work. Thanks, Sandy Luton, General Manager, Hill View Hotel

Dear all. As you probably know this week (10 – 16 Nov) is International Toffee & Fudge Week, when the whole world celebrates our favourite sugar based confectionary. The best way to honour our great British caramelising tradition is to visit very own part-built “Fudgeworth” (the model village of Beckworth made entirely of fudge). The site’s “builders” Anthony “Tony” Worrall-Thompson and son Heston Blumenthal’s hope to finish the plague-victim’s graveyard in time but still need another 363,268 fudge bricks. So ladies and gents and children of Beckworth let’s get making more fudge. As an equal opportunities hotel with wheelchair access there’s no excuse for anyone on benefits not dropping off fudge. Thanks, Sandy Luton, General Manager, Hill View Hotel
