owner of Kent Crisps and

FUDGE KITCHEN IS VOTED
TRIPADVISOR’S #1 SHOPPING EXPERIENCE
FOR VISITORS TO CANTERBURY
Already a place of pilgrimage for premium confectionery lovers, Fudge
Kitchen has just had their flagship shop voted the number one shopping
experience in Canterbury. Their famously friendly and quirky staff and
prolific free sampling policy have won the day. While the experience
of watching the fudge being handmade in front of their customers,
using an original 1800’s recipe and traditional techniques involving
bubbling copper cauldrons and flourishes of warm fudge being turned
with huge spatulas on marble counter tops is pure theatre. Throw in
the running commentary of fudge facts, scientific and historic, and the
relentlessly gushing TripAdvisor reviews make sense.
Laura has been the
commercial director for the
brands, since 2014. In this
time, the company grew by
52% and won a number of
awards. Kent Crisps also
launched new flavours and
rebranded.
Laura said: “Making the leap and taking over ownership of Kent Crisps
and Kentish Oils was the next logical step for me. The company has
grown rapidly and I have enjoyed the challenge of being involved in
all aspects of this, including the new product ranges. As someone who
loves the food industry and was born and raised in Kent, it also brings
me immense pleasure employing local people and supporting local
producers.”
