Fans include London restaurants Café Spice Namast‚, whose own-specification Parsee Apricot Toffee is a best-seller; Ken Lo's Memories of China, where Stem Ginger, Green Tea and Gold Medal Vanilla ice-creams, Mandarin and Lychee yogurt ices and Passion Fruit, Blackcurrant and Mango sorbets have proved firm favourites; and Whit's in Kensington, which does well with Pistachio, Coconut and Honeycomb ice-creams.
All are made at the group's Suffolk farm creamery from fresh local cream, British sugar and other natural ingredients.
