United by a shared love of artisan craft and a commitment to doing business responsibly, Dishoom and Fudge Kitchen bring a velvety, peppermint-cool, dark chocolate-cloaked fudge to the Dishoom pudding menu from Monday 28 September – available across all UK cafés.
Dishoom, the much-loved Bombay-style café group, and Fudge Kitchen, the UK’s pioneering artisan confectioner, today announce a brand-new collaboration: Chocolate Mint Fudge. Launching on Dishoom’s puddings menu next Monday, this demi-orb of finishing delight will offer guests a fitting final flourish to the Dishoom Experience – a velvety fudge tingling with cool peppermint, cloaked in dark chocolate, and finished by hand.
The new fudge will be available in Dishoom cafés nationwide — Covent Garden, Shoreditch, King’s Cross, Carnaby, Kensington, Canary Wharf and Battersea in London, together with Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and Leeds — and will join the menu at Dishoom’s newest café, Borough, as soon as it opens its doors. Guests will be able to order Chocolate Mint Fudge as One for £2.50 or Three for £7.00, a suitably indulgent way to round off a Dishoom feast.
Every piece is handmade in Fudge Kitchen’s production kitchens in Kent, where the company has been perfecting the art of small-batch fudge for over 40 years. Fudge Kitchen’s confectioners cut and hand-decorate each piece individually, using all-natural ingredients, traditional methods and not a single artificial colouring, flavouring or preservative – the same painstaking craft that has made Fudge Kitchen a household name among fudge lovers across the UK.
The collaboration brings together two businesses that, for all their differences of trade, are unusually well aligned: both are fiercely independent, proudly artisanal, and committed to doing business responsibly. Dishoom is certified B Corp, while Fudge Kitchen, now employee-owned, has spent recent years reworking its recipes, sourcing and packaging to be as sustainable as possible. For both businesses, Chocolate Mint Fudge is as much a meeting of values as it is a meeting of flavours.
“We’ve been perfecting handmade fudge in Kent for over 40 years, and partnering with Dishoom to create Chocolate Mint Fudge has been a genuine pleasure. Dishoom shares our belief that indulgence and responsibility aren’t at odds – that you can make something truly delicious while still doing right by your ingredients, your people and the planet. We can’t wait for Dishoom’s guests to try it,” said Richard Parson, Fudge Kitchen CEO.
