The Ultimate Ice Cream Indulgence

At Roskilly's, you can watch the herd of Jersey cows graze peacefully in the fields, then head to the farm's ice cream parlour to taste the fabulous ice cream made with their milk. All the sauces and toppings are also made on the premises for extra fabulous freshness. For more details, see www.roskillys.co.uk.

Antonio Parisi makes delicious artisanal gelato by hand using Jersey milk and cream which he pasteurises on the premises to keep freshness intact. Flavours change with the seasons - Antonio uses fresh ingredients - and range from fabulous, traditional vanilla to the zingy, innovative honey, rosemary and orange zest and the delicious Bellini sorbet, packed full with peach and prosecco.

Morelli's ice cream started with a bicycle - the one that Italian immigrant Giuseppe Morelli used to sell his freshly made 'ices' in 1907. Since then, the company has opened stores in ten different countries while remaining faithful to its roots. The Broadstairs parlour, opened by Giuseppe’s son, Mario, in 1932, is still going strong, with its retro decor of formica tops, pink leatherette booths and juke box. Among the many flavours on offer there are the smooth caramel, zing wild berry and scrumptious nocciola, made with Italian hazelnuts. For more details, see www.morellisgelato.com.

The best ice cream makers on the Isle of White have a parlour at Brown's Family Golf, by the Isle of White Zoo, in Sandown, but you can find their fabulous ice creams elsewhere on the island too - don't miss Bill Jackson's Minghella Ice Cream Van in Brading Down. The range of flavours is enormous, from the classic, award-winning Crushed Strawberries and Cream through the decadent Pear, Mascarpone and Pinenuts to the fresh, aromatic Mango sorbet, made with the prized Alphonso mangoes.
