Well as an allotment holder, I can assure you that there have been long hot sunny spells this summer!!


ETA: Depends on how you define Summer, I suppose.


I consider Summer as starting in May :)


And I don't think you get sunburned despite wearing sunblock (as I did) in the rain.


Also, you have to distinguish between the total amount of rain, and the number of days it actually rained.


I agree some days have been very wet. And some have been very cold. But many have also been very hot and sunny.


ETA: If memory serves, you were in Turkey during the heatwave, Fox.

To be honest the only improvement I can see would be staying open a bit later but realistically I doubt it could be justified as they probably don't have the same late night foot fall as LL provides Oddono's.


Either way for me if I want ice cream during the day they would be my top choice.

Finally found it open.


The ice cream is indeed delicious, but they are putting the prices up tomorrow - I think to ?3.40 for the basic offering. Apparently the prices to date were an opening offer.


One of the pleasures for me with ice cream is having a contrast of textures with something crunchy (eg a cone or meringue) and/or something smooth and runny (eg maple syrup) and I don't much like having no choice except to have the ice cream by itself in a tub, but hey ho.


I'm so greedy no doubt I'll be back :))

I agree with Miss dumpling


This place does the best ice cream, really really really good! Much much better than anywhere else, missed Scoop, and missed the Herne hill place, if this place goes, I will weap. It's not just sublime ice Creams and flavours, but an independent shop, which in itself deserves support I think.


If it does succumb to making cones, the handmade ones like HERNE hill ice cream place sold would be a perfect match. In my opinion, cones just take away from the ice cream, it doesn't need cones, but I can see the benefits for the kids, and the convenience for us drivers, as I could have a sneaky in the car on the way home.


Keep up the good work, and please everyone lets keep this one going, it's a gem!

Just had my 1st fabulous ice fires experience! Totally delish!! Pistachio was my favourite. And sampled the pinapple sorbet too! Wowza! So much better than Oddonos in my opinion. Owner seems lovely and down to earth too!!! Very reasonably priced too.

Enjoying the gelato and prosecco for six quid offer in the sunshine. Black Pearl ice cream very tasty. Cakes look good too. Will be back.


Opening hours appear to be Monday closed, rest of week 12-6.30, weekends opening 9.30 til 7pm. They said they'd open later if it was sunny and people were sticking around.

      That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

      The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

      Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!

      Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
