This isn't the only reason to make the annual pilgrimage as far west as you can possibly go in the British Isles. But it's certainly amongst there with the best.
A week's holiday in St Davids means at least seven opportunities to visit the city centre (for St Davids is officially a city - the smallest City in the UK in fact) and slurp on delicious creamy home made ice cream in a number of fabulously fun flavours.
This summer I tried...Pembrokeshire Promise, Celtic Crunch, Raspberry Cheesecake, Salted Caramel, Toffee Popcorn, Rhubarb Crumble, Marscapone and Fig, M&M, Snickers, Oreo. I didn't eat all of these by myself you understand. But I did delve happily into my son's and my missus's every time they tentatively asked if I wanted a bit. They will never learn. None of the above disappointed apart from the bubble gum flavour which I couldn't get my head round but the boy loved. If you have a flavour on your mind which isn't on the extensive list, give them 24 hours and they will make it up for you! Plucking up the courage to ask them to knock me up an Ambrosia rice pudding flavour next time I'm there.
One large scoop in one of those proper brittle cones for me. But you can get a double scoop or get it in a small tub.
The one scoop is plenty and comes to £2.60 which rates as a bargain for this delicious stuff.
There is always a queue, whatever time of day, whatever type of weather - and the weather is variable in St davids. It's fun standing in a queue with other eager beavers as the rain pelts down. Almost as much fun as sitting on the nearby benches in the belting sun with your prize and watching the surfers and the oldie coach parties go by. Said queue goes down very quickly though with expert service.
St David's wouldn't be quite the same without Gianni's. It's a hive of activity by this little hut and full of happy people getting their daily fix.
