Definitely 4 stars and hurrah for giving me two cones.

We had Lemon Drizzle Cake and coffee outside. Raad nr Foillan path is a couple minutes from the cafe so grab a short walk before or after if you have time.

What was quite telling is that when we finally did find it, the restaurant was full and we had to book to come back an hour later for lunch. Nice option, combining comfort food with fresh, presumably local, ingredients. I started with broccoli stilton soup. The broccoli came through and it had a nice consistency though I could not really taste the stilton. For my main, I had chicken kiev. Large piece of chicken and the garlic butter definitely had enough garlic. Came with good fresh vegetables and nice chips. My son seemed to enjoy the chocolate cake. While the service wasn't fast, it was very pleasant. We plan on going again.

Please keep in mind that I was on a work trip in 2019 and over the weekend, I just hopped over to the Isle of Man. So I can say that the ice cream was good and the portions were just right. The view and ambiance were great as I sat by the window and could look out to see Peel Castle. I would definitely return here, if I was ever in the area again. Enjoy!!

Deliciousness in a tub!…read more This family-owned ice cream parlour is a firm favourite amongst the locals on the Island. Made with cows milk, double cream, butter and sugar it might bump me up the list for coronary bypass surgery, but in the meantime I'm going to enjoy the creamy tastiness of this ice cream. There are many flavours available, I went for the mango and raspberry on this occasion. Fruity but maybe slightly artificial tasting. As well as the standard ice cream they do sundaes, sandwiches, salads and other light lunches, hot and cold drinks and sweets and gifts to take away. There are a few tables to allow you to eat in, a necessity in November. However, in the summer it's ideally placed on the seafront for you to buy your cone to go take a stroll along the prom, with great views of Peel Castle and the beach. A great Isle of Man institution, a firm favourite with locals and tourists alike.

Bonzai is attached to the Sefton Hotel. We grabbed a late dinner after the Tower of Refuge Walk…read more It was packed. Music of a clubby nature was playing but it was very low, just creating a slight party feel. We had low expectations but they were exceeded. Boat of Sashimi for me 20 pieces mixed tuna, salmon, and sea bass all for twenty pounds. Excellent value. Tuna was the weak link. Pablo has eggplant katsu which was OK. All washed down with Wasabi Martini and a French 75 with Brandy NOT gin (remind your bartender this is not a drink to be shaken). We felt it was good value. Service was from a gaggle of young cheerful boys eager to please. Lighting was low and atmospheric. People were very happy. I think we spent about 60 pounds.

And what better way for me to enjoy my ice cream by know it is being made by local people who are treating their animals right whilst also making really great tasting ice cream? In my book quality should never be sacrificed in the quest to be ethical! They have only been going in the last few years but are growing rapidly, and provide much better local ice cream than that cheap and bland Dale Farm stuff! They have five core flavours: vanilla, honeycomb, strawberry, chocolate and rhubarb&ginger.My personal recommendation is the honeycomb which comes with big chunks of honeycomb and honey drizzled all over the top and is irresistible! They also do ice cream cakes which can provide a unique treat for a special someone and they do catering sized tub for local businesses and restaurants! They are not cheap tubs, coming in at around £3.79, but they are worth it! Overall, Glastry are providing Moo-sic to my ears!

The décor was the first thing that caught our attention, it kinda looked like one of those little idyllic places you only usually see on Instagram. Cosy blankets offered to wrap yourself in of you want to sit outside and lovely natural wood tables beautifully designed inside, complete with 2 little bay windows stuffed with cushions to make the place as comfortable as your own bed. I'm pretty new to the whole concept of frozen yoghurt given that I don't have much by way of a sweet tooth, but even I liked this. You pick your tub size as you go in the door, then the flavour of yoghurt you would like which you serve yourself from the machine, and then head to the counter where there is a table full of treats to adorn your tub with. Finally at the till you have a choice of sauce, melted Nutella and other such goodness. You pay by the weight of your tub, so you can choose how much or how little you're wanting to spend. I have to say it was delicious and really set off by the tiny shop being such a nice place to visit. They serve all the coffees you would expect in a modern café and seem to take it seriously as the day we were in there was a barista in looking like he was there to train staff in the production of proper espresso based coffee. So although we didn't actually get any (it was my birthday and we called in by way of yoghurt being desert) I'd say the coffee is likely to hit the spot too.

This one in Cockermouth is an ice cream parlour and coffee shop.

If your not travelling too far, you can also buy the ice cream by the box load!!
