Marshfield Farm
makes nearly 30
different
ice creams.
Marshfield Farm Ice Cream
Marshfield Farm don’t make banana ice cream. They make Funky
Banana ice cream, with chocolate fudge pieces and chocolate sauce.
It’s the finer details that make their award-winning ice cream so popular
– Raspberry Ripple is dotted with pavlova bits, Chocolate Fudge Brownie
features fudge brownies from Marshfield bakery and their Heavenly
Honeycomb is made with the biggest bits of honeycomb that they can fit
in the ice cream machine without blocking it. Yet they would say it’s the
real organic milk, produced by the 200 Friesian cows on their farm since
1988, which makes their ice cream so special.

Rossi’s Ices
Rossi’s have been serving ice cream from their shop on Weymouth
seafront for 65 years. A traditional family-run Italian ice cream parlour, it’s
managed by Fulvio Figliolini who learned how to make ice cream from his
father, who was taught by his father. Back then, they only sold one flavour
– Natural – but now they have over 30, including Honey and Ginger,
Chocolate Orange, and Crushed Dark Chocolate and Peppermint.
Fulvio says that punters demand more variety these days, but it’s still the
classics like Natural or Mango that are the most popular. With queues
stretching back across the esplanade, they are very popular indeed.
