I Scream, You Scream!! To mark the closing of our Summer season, this week we have been paying homage to that oh-so-sweet, delectable and enduring symbol of Summertime to both young and old – the mighty ice cream cone!
Following our Sundae Assembly special, in which ice-cream scientist Tom Boulton will have taken us through the history and culture of this most iconic sweet treat, we invite you to join us on a delectable ice cream crawl through East London, where you and fellow enthusiasts can savour the local delights and pick your FLAVOUR-ite!
We will be departing from the Backyard Comedy Club immediately following the Assembly at 1pm, where we will follow the rocky road onto:
1. E5 Bakehouse – Home to the famous Softy & Swirly Expect grown-up flavours such as loganberry and sheep’s ricotta as well as salted black sesame, honey with lemon and cardamom, and malted vanilla. They also have La Grotta ices, a selection of seasonal frozen treats with an emphasis on fresh-tasting fruity combos – think pomegranate and leafy orange, pear and myrtle, wild fig and watermelon, or quince and bramley apple pie.
2. Soft Serve Society – There are four basic flavours (vanilla, matcha, charcoal and coconut), but the thrill is in the photogenic toppings, which are arranged in Petri dishes on the counter ready for sprinkling.
3. Darlish – Luxury ice cream inspired by natural botanicals and the magical flavours of the Middle East, including black tahini halva chunk, honey rum, date mollases & raisin, and Turkish coffee.
The crawl will cover approximately 3 miles and last 2 hours
