ICE CREAM
What a treat ! It isn ’ t just children who love the taste of ice cream – adults are pretty fond of it too . And when it comes to a hot summer afternoon when the air is heavy with heat , the sound of that ice-cream van jingling around the streets is a heavenly one . Ice-cream vans are incredible creations , but they aren ’ t the only places to get some amazing tasting ice cream . We ’ re lucky enough in Kent to have some incredible ice cream producers ourselves .
Solley ’ s is a family run business that has been producing creamy , tasty ice cream for over 30 years . Only the best ingredients are used in their products , and the awardwinning ice cream makers source their milk and cream from a herd of cows who live only a mile away . Now that ’ s local . The success that Solley ’ s have had with their ice cream means that they have been able to open an ice cream parlour in Deal where you ’ ll find sumptuous banana splits , sundaes , and 18 different flavours of ice cream .
Simply Ice Cream is another superb ice cream producer from Kent . Handmade in small batches using all natural and local ingredients , Simply Ice Cream is something special . There are no artificial
colours or preservatives here , no additives , just the real thing – fresh , seasonal fruit and ingredients .
Kent Life , that gorgeous farm that offers tractor rides , lovely teas , and a glimpse into Kent ’ s past , even has an ice cream festival . It starts on 28th August , and is a chance for you and your family to sample a variety of different ice creams , chocolates and other goodies .
ICE SCULPTING
More ice ! But in the absence of winter , ice really does the trick when it comes to lowering the temperature . At the Ice Bar in London , you can book yourself onto an ice-sculpting course wherein you are able to carve cold creations out of huge blocks of ice . Experts will be on hand to guide you , and you might come away with a brand new skill . If not , at least you ’ ve kept cool .
The Ice Bar itself is a great place to hide away from the heat . It is kept at a steady , bracing -5 ° C all year round . You can only stay there for 40 minutes and you ’ re kitted out in a thermal cloak and hood , but those 40 minutes will be the most refreshing of your entire day ( and the drinks are pretty good too ).
