We’re very proud to announce that we’re serving Thaymar Dairy Ice Cream when we’re at Belvoir Castle, starting this (bank holiday) weekend- just in time for the sunshine …

Thaymar are a local company, producing top notch ice cream from their farm near Retford, Nottinghamshire.

Mark had the tough assignment of visiting them this week to assess the products and choose our range.  This involved some taste testing in their superb tearoom and a visit to the factory.  Suitably impressed, we’ve decided to start by ranging 125ml tubs of their fabulous luxury ice cream in the following flavours: vanilla, strawberries & cream, chunky chocolate, elderflower & gooseberry, white mint choc chip and toffee fudge.

The local connections are strong, with the elderflower flavour coming from the famous Belvoir cordial… and pictured above is Tom, making Thaymar’s first delivery to Cafe Allez!

We will soon be adding a vanilla option suitable for diabetics to the range and are watching with interest as Thaymar develop a dairy-free ice cream.

Meantime, to satisfy vegans and those who just prefer an ice lolly, we’re also ranging Chilly Billy lollies from Bensons.  No nonsense here: just pure frozen fruit juice (and not from concentrate) for some guilt-free and tasty Summer refreshment.
