Popular ice cream farm celebrates 40 years with new flavours and big celebration
A much-loved Lancashire ice cream parlour is marking four decades in business with new flavours and a major UK rollout.
A popular family-run ice cream destination in Lancashire is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a host of sweet treats, new flavours and a special birthday event for visitors.
The milestone year brings the launch of two new additions to the menu - Birthday Cake and Caramel Chocolate, both of which are now available to in cones, tubs, or sundaes, or as indulgent toppings on pancakes and waffles.
The birthday cake flavour is set to reach far beyond the local area too, with a nationwide rollout planned from March through partnerships with major distributors, marking the business’s widest distribution to date.
Owner, Rob Walling, said: “We have done a new birthday cake flavour that will be going country wide with Chicken Cottage, Adam’s and Bestway in March.”
Rob, who runs the family business alongside his brother Phil while their sister Anna manages the café in the ice cream parlour, said the anniversary was an exciting moment for the family business.
As well as the new flavour launch, he confirmed a 40th birthday celebration will take place at the farm on March 20, inviting the local community to join in the occasion. The site will also be open throughout the week during the half-term holidays giving visitors the chance to enjoy both the dessert and ice cream parlours.
Rob is also using the year to support charity efforts with a fundraising initiative in aid of Children with Cancer UK, with a dedicated vending machine installed on-site with all proceeds going directly to the charity.
With a busy calendar of events, new products and community initiatives planned, the coming year promises to be one of the most memorable yet for the long-standing Lancashire favourite.
