    Me and my son love this place so much. His favourite is the pancakes with strawberries and banana. The lady is very friendly, always asks how he is, and is so kind. Thank you so much!

    Our grandchildren came for a sleepover, so we brought them into town. Tammy was so generous and kind, and the ice cream must be good because it didn't last long! Lunch with granny and grandad can be ice cream. Thank you for making a special time even more special.

    A very good selection of ice cream flavours, and one of the nicest I have had. The crêpe was also tasty, and best of all was the service.

Today you'll find us inside Lock29, making gelato on site, cooking crêpes to order and blending milkshakes, all served with a smile.
