Allergies: we do vegan, dairy-free, halal, and gluten-free cones and wafers. We can't offer anything guaranteed nut-free — it's all made in the one dairy, so we'd rather tell you straight than have you find out the hard way. Full allergen sheet with every delivery.

Our story

A hundred years of the same thing.

It started with milk. Ada Hartley was selling it round the bay in 1923, and the ice cream came out of the dairy that grew from it. Her grandsons took it on in 1968, and it's still run by the Hartley family today.

Same coast, same family, same job. We make it, we sell it out of our own shops and vans, and we supply cafés and kiosks up and down this coast. That's the whole business, and it hasn't needed changing much.
