The best products require the best ingredients
The Handmade Ice Cream company policy is simple: the best products require the best ingredients. Our business aim is to follow this rule without cutting corners or quality, and looking at the product before the expense. This way the complexity of natural flavours, textures and tastes speak for themselves.

Our journey to Handmade Ice Cream
After 15 fulfilling years working as a professional pastry chef in some of the UK’s finest hotels and restaurants, we recognised a clear gap — chefs, like us, who were passionate about crafting their own ice cream often couldn’t, due to lack of time, space, or equipment. The alternative? Factory-made ice cream, packed with artificial flavours, colourings, preservatives, syrups and unnecessary air.
That just didn’t sit right with us.
So, here in the beautiful Lake District, inspired by our love for natural food and family life, we set out to do things differently. We created a small, family-run ice cream company focused on making truly natural, handmade ice cream — free from all the funny business, and full of only the good stuff.
Everything we put into our ice cream is made by us in-house: from sticky toffee puddings and gingerbread to fruit compotes, caramels and toffees. This means we know exactly what’s going into every tub—only the good stuff, with no preservatives or artificial flavours.
We hand-select the finest Madagascan vanilla pods and rich Belgian chocolate, sourcing directly from trusted producers. It’s more time-consuming and more expensive — but that’s the artisan way. And we believe it’s worth it.
We are very proud of our products and we enjoy sharing them with you all.
