Suggitt's Ices - Reservar uma mesa

Remember this ice cream in my childhood.... so back in the area thought I would visit for a bit of nostalgia! One of the hottest days of the year, but happily queued for 20mins as the queue was a good sign. How wrong could I be! The older man behind the counter (yes only one person serving) was beyond grumpy, no interaction, handed over ice creams and took the card payment.... I made some small talk but got no reaction. How can this be a 21st century business, the ice cream is ok (no advancement into extra flavours), but certainly not worth queuing for. Served from a run down environment with a staff member/owner who clearly doesn't like customers. I like to support local business especially now, post lockdown but this great part of the country deserves better. Never again! Advice spend your money elsewhere.

We popped in this shop while being on a day out with some residents from our care home. One of our ladies was on a wheelchair. I supported her to sit at the table with the others and moved wheelchair in the corner. Then I asked one of the owners is it ok to leave it there (the cafe was empty that moment). What a nice answer I’ve got: “Actually we don’t have space for it!” With the grumpiest face I’ve ever seen. I asked should I leave the wheelchair just outside on the street while ladies are eating. After this I was kindly allowed to leave it at least till the other visitors come. Never again with this attitude for vulnerable people!!!

Lots of reviewers rightly commend Suggitt’s for the ice cream, but it is also a top class sweet shop. Rather than some modern sweet shops who have jars of traditional sweets all from some generic, generally unheard of company, Suggitt’s stock sweets from all the famous, original manufacturers. As a Scot I am perhaps biased in my view that Buchanan’s is the best sweetie maker in the U.K. and to be able to stock up on their fantastic Buttermints (simply the best) and some Blackcurrant and Liquorice is always a real treat. And we had an ice cream! As ever, lovely service from a lady who knows and appreciates good sweeties.

Didn’t like the fact the man serving was handling cash and then ice cream cones/flakes. Hygiene should be a priority! Last time we visited there were two friendly ladies serving one wearing plastic gloves to handle the cones etc. The other to take payment.

Always the place to go when we fancy an ice cream. The best vanilla ice creal around always get a tub with a flake. The sit in snack bar is currently closed so we had take out to walk through the village with and look in the the shops.
