Two of Northern Ireland's leading independent hospitality and food brands have joined forces for a limited-edition summer collaboration. Guests who book an overnight stay directly with the Elephant Rock Boutique Hotel in Portrush throughout August will receive a complimentary 50g bar of Melting Pot Fudge, the Belfast-based handmade fudge brand known for its bold personality and indulgent flavours.
Bespoke Cocktail and Nostalgic Treats
Elephant Rock will also serve an Espresso Fudgetini, a bespoke cocktail created using Melting Pot Fudge, combining rich coffee, smooth sweetness and a playful coastal twist. The hotel, twice named Ulster's Romantic Hotel of the Year, offers beautifully designed rooms, coastal charm, standout food and drink, and warm hospitality moments from the sea.
Portrush continues to attract visitors for its beaches, restaurants, golf, coastal walks and access to the wider Causeway Coast, making the hotel perfectly placed for summer escapes. The award-winning Melting Pot Fudge has been building momentum with new retail listings, refreshed branding and a growing reputation for modern, locally-made fudge.
Quotes from Collaborators
Jack McAdorey, General Manager of Melting Pot Fudge, said: "This is exactly the kind of collaboration we love. Elephant Rock is one of Northern Ireland's most beautiful boutique hotels and Portrush in August is hard to beat. We wanted to give guests a little taste of Melting Pot Fudge when they arrive and then bring the brand to life in a fun way through the Espresso Fudgetini."
Charlotte Dixon, Managing Director of Elephant Rock Boutique Hotel, added: "When I think of August in Portrush, I think of those nostalgic summer holidays by the sea, where a visit to a traditional sweet shop was always part of the experience. This collaboration feels like a lovely nod to that. Portrush has such a strong connection with people across Northern Ireland - it feels like almost everyone has a childhood memory of this place."
Limited-Time Offer
The collaboration will run throughout August, with complimentary 50g bars available for direct booking guests and the Espresso Fudgetini available from the hotel bar for a limited time only.
