It’s October 1st. And we’re celebrating the new season with our delicious Cherry Sherbet. A little bit sweet, a little bit dark, and completely indulgent. 🍒

Who says ice cream season ends when autumn starts?

The soundtrack to our kitchen. From prepping fresh ingredient to the final churn, this is what uncompromising sounds like.

We continue our 20 years series by looking back at one of our earliest partners, Scott Collins, founder of MEATliquor.

From its legendary roots as a burger van to a powerhouse of the UK food scene, MEATliquor has been setting the standard for uncompromised quality, bold flavors, and serious fun since day one.

Scott, thank you for trusting us for two decades. We’re incredibly proud to have grown alongside you and to have played a small, sweet part in the MEATliquor story.

We have a new flavour on the block: Watermelon

These Sentinel watermelons come from the Zerbinati family in Northern Italy, who prune their vines to grow just one dense, naturally sweet melon per plant.

We juiced them fresh in our kitchen at peak ripeness, finishing with a dash of lime juice to keep the flavour fresh.

Are you coming in to try the new flavour?

15/09/2026

We’re quite obsessed with detail. From sourcing exceptional raw ingredients to balancing flavour profile, our small team pours passion and precision into every single tub.

Swipe for a look at our daily process, and stay tuned for the little surprise guest at the end.

Finding the right spoon isn’t easy. Wooden spoons can ruin the flavour, plastic pollutes, and paper goes soggy, so we spent months testing and retesting seaweed cutlery alongside Notpla while they were developing them.

Made in the UK from natural seaweed and plants, these spoons give you a smooth, durable scoop with zero paper mush or wooden taste. They contain no PLA, no forever chemicals, and no hidden plastics.

After your last bite, discard it with food waste or toss it in home compost where it breaks down naturally. Just proper cutlery as natural as our ingredients.

Cutlery to match the quality of our ingredients. Simple as that.

We couldn’t find a damn good Dulce de Leche ice cream, so we made our own.

20 years of tweaking, testing, and perfecting. It’s the flavour that paved the way for Ice Cream Union, made simply with the highest quality ingredients.

A classic then, a favourite now. Have you tried it?

28/08/2026

We like to break convention, and this time we’re taking it to the next level.

We’ve taken over the kitchen to introduce the Ice Cream Chicken Burger: A playful creation crafted to change your expectations of ice cream.

Fresh milk bun, a handcrafted banana ice cream is the “chicken burger,” paired with matcha chocolate to make up the “lettuce”, house-made raspberry sauce as “ketchup,” and spicy mango sauce for “mustard”. It looks like lunch, but it’s 100% dessert.

We’re serving every single burger in sustainable packaging by

The best part? they are completely free. Available on a first-come, first-served basis, so drop by early.

Great ice cream doesn’t start with a base or a premix, it starts at the source.

Sourcing fresh milk from The Estate Dairy. Hand-roasting nuts in-house to make our own pure pastes. Juicing Sicilian blood oranges only when they’re at peak season.

We take the longer, harder path in the kitchen so that every flavour is honest, intense, and true.

Never settle for second best.

20/08/2026

Extremely rich, intensely dark, and exceptionally smooth.

We’re talking about our chocolate sorbet, obviously.

We blend 70% Tuma Yellow dark chocolate and Red Mayan non-alkalinised cocoa powder, sourced directly from .gourmet Sourced for their deep, natural flavor profiles, they are balanced precisely during the churn to create a dense, velvety structure.

We’re celebrating 20 years this month, and we’re looking back to where it all started with the very first chef and restaurant to work with us, John Rattagan of Buen Ayre.

A true Hackney institution, Buen Ayre has been serving authentic Argentine cuisine with a focus on traditional charcoal grilling since 2004.

John, thanks for being part of our story from day one. We appreciate your support and are proud to have been part of Buen Ayre’s journey over the years too.
