UK Ice Cream Parlours Gain National Recognition Amid Heatwave

The UK has seen a notable recognition of its top ice cream parlours, with The Times naming 41 standout shops across the country, including three favorites in south east London such as Sundae in Brockley, Minus 12 Degrees in Herne Hill, and Fabulous Ice Fires in East Dulwich, which celebrates its 10th anniversary. Scotland's premier ice cream spot is Jannettas Gelateria in St Andrews, praised for its 115-year history and 54 rotating gelato flavors, topping VisitScotland's list ahead of Alandas Gelato in North Berwick, which also features on The Times' list for its fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Meanwhile, Northumberland's Cresswell beach has been highlighted for its natural beauty and a popular ice cream parlour known for drawing long queues during warm weather, contributing to the area's inclusion in The Times' best UK beaches list. Additionally, a recent industry report provides a comprehensive analysis of the ice cream manufacturing sector, focusing on financial strength, sales growth, and market rankings of the largest companies in the industry. These recognitions and analyses underscore the enduring appeal and diversity of the UK's ice cream culture, from artisanal gelato shops to large-scale manufacturers.
