Percy Fudge opened his craft bakery in the village of Leigh, North Dorset, in 1926 and rapidly gained a reputation for quality. Many of his original recipes are still used today. The excellence of Fudges handmade products is attributed to the skills and experience acquired through three generations, and the use of only the finest natural ingredients.

When Fudges says its products are hand-baked, that's exactly what they mean. Managing Director Steve Fudge says: "If mechanization means our products lose something of their quality along the way, we won't go down that route. We're proud of being known as a craft bakery. Our experience is that you often just don't get the same quality from automation that you do from a handmade product and quality is something we're not prepared to compromise on."
