About Us

Cottage Confectionery is a family run business nestled in the foothills of Dartmoor in Devon making award winning, deliciously smooth and creamy fudge.

The secret traditional recipe dates back to 1930.

The original recipe was developed by Fred Coffin, way before the 2nd World War and we are not sure whether Fred Coffin himself was taught the recipe by a previous confectioner.

The company and secret recipe became extremely popular and Fred was able to take on an apprentice – John Rowe. John Rowe was well known in the confectionery world originally having had a background in ice cream making. He developed the fudge and eventually the quality of the product allowed the company to continue to grow. My father went into partnership with John in the 1970’s and even as a young boy I was involved in the pride and process involved in the fudge making.

I started working full time for my father and his partner John Rowe, in the early 1980’s, alongside Tony Roscal. I have always loved the delicious recipe and even then as a young man was proud to be cooking and selling the product all across the West Country. Unfortunately John Rowe and my father passed away as relatively young men and Tony’s life led him in a different direction and for a time I spent time in a different occupation.

I realised that over time the West Country lacked a quality creamy fudge cooked in the traditional methods. I set about the process of developing Cottage Confectionery having never forgotten the wonderful recipe. I am extremely proud to see how well the fudge is being received by businesses and the public with comments of ‘at last a decent west country fudge’ and the company is growing from strength to strength.
