Stop me and
buy one!
We couldn't help smiling at this Ice Cream vendor, spotted arriving
at the Axbridge Fun Day. When challenged on his green credentials
he told us "This is the genuine article, it's just about manageable
in a straight line on a smooth surface, but hit a rut and you're
done for!" The queue for the ice cream didn't wane all day
and when we tasted it we found out why - it's the most delicious,
traditional ice cream we've ever tasted! I heard one elderly gentleman
say "It takes me back to my childhood, when we'd go to Minehead
on the train for the day as our Summer treat". Produced in
Bristol by the Tarr family since 1920, it's won no less than 12
National Champion awards. Colin Tarr says "We have five family
members in the business today, my son, daughter-in-law, grandson
and granddaughter. We have never employed a sales rep, all our
business comes by word of mouth and reputation, individuals travel
30 or 40 miles with their coolboxes to buy from our shop"
Tarr's Ice cream is sold direct to the public from and to restaurants,
pubs and farm shops as well as via over 100 ice cream vans across
the South West and Wales, look out for their logo.
