A brand new Roly’s Fudge Pantry will open in Wells at 19 Market Place, on Friday 9 November. The pantry will bring to life the traditional art of fudge making on the premises and Wells residents and tourists will be treated to the daily sight and smell of fudge being handmade in the shop window.

Owners and retailers, Sarah Orton and Steven Jones, are particularly delighted to be setting up a Roly’s Fudge Pantry in Wells as Sarah Orton explained, “We first came to Wells four years ago in search of the perfect retail site, but nothing was available, despite visiting several times and over a number of months.

“In the end we opened a pantry by the cathedral arch in Salisbury, and now after a further three year wait we are delighted that this beautiful medieval shop has become available so close to another awestriking and imposing cathedral and the lovely retail area around Market Square.”

With Christmas just around the corner, Sarah and Steven are cooking up a fabulous selection of festive flavours alongside their best selling Vanilla Clotted Cream and Salted Maple & Pecan, with Christmas Pudding, Baileys, Chocolate Cointreau and Chocolate Mint all on the menu, and beautifully gift wrapped for the perfect readymade locally hand produced gift. The couple are also busy creating individual Christmas Puddings and fudge stars for the Christmas tree, as well as hampers and a bespoke gift wrapping service.

Roly’s has made sure vegans and dairy-free customers won’t be left out this Christmas, with two delicious new dairy-free fudge flavours in Maple & Cashew and Salted Maple & Pecan.

“We’re really excited to get involved in the local community and the amazing calendar of events here in Wells, whilst it’s a pleasure to be able to employ people from the local community,” Steven Jones added.

As well as the delicious, crumbly fudge, and the daily theatre of the fudge being poured, paddled and made in front of customers, Sarah and Steven have teamed up with award-winning Styles ice cream and will have a year-round ice cream bar offering both dairy and ewes milk ice cream, matched with Roly’s Fudge Sauce in three flavours and a menu of matching fudge crumbs.
