New tasty treat for Cumbria tourists
Abbott Lodge have teamed up with Grasmere Gingerbread® ice cream to create an exclusive Cumbrian ice cream
Over 100 years in the making: Abbott Lodge near Penrith has teamed up with Grasmere Gingerbread® ice cream to create a special ice cream for Cumbria tourists.
Abbott Lodge, near Penrith, has teamed up with Grasmere Gingerbread® ice cream to create an exclusive ice cream for Cumbria tourists. Milk from Penrith pedigree Jersey cows is combined with Grasmere Gingerbread® to create tasty treat for tourists.
Over a hundred years in the making, Grasmere Gingerbread® was established in 1854 and the milk from the pedigree Jersey cows can be traced back to the original breed in 1763.
“It’s a delicious combination and a great example of two well-known Cumbrian family businesses working together,” said Claire Bland, a partner in Abbott Lodge.
The ice cream – sold in tubs or on cones – is proving exceptionally popular with visitors to The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop.
“People absolutely love it,” said Yasmine Hunter, Sales and Marketing Manager at Grasmere Gingerbread®. “As soon as the sun shines people are queuing up to buy it.”
It is the latest winning ice cream from Abbott Lodge; one of the area’s most popular visitor attractions and voted as one of the top 20 ice cream makers in the UK by The Times. Claire and husband Steven established the Jersey herd in 2002 and now milk 170 cows.
