The start of the weekend and our Friday release took us on a post school trip to the most delicious gelateria, Frank & Beans in Lyme Regis. Excitement all round at the impending glacial hit and we even managed to lure hard toiling J away from his screen to join us for our treat and a stroll along the seafront. Quite the ‘Little England’ 1952 picturesque scene. Frank & Beans ice cream is undoubtedly the king of all ice cream. Not only is it unanimously voted the best ice cream ever by anyone I have taken there but it also ticks my ‘health’ boxes. Made from organic milk and cream using traditional Italian methods it is all 100% natural. They also have an array of dairy free sorbet options (the chocolate is pretty much mana from heaven) and many are much lower in sugar than your normal gourmet frozen delights. A mighty fine treat.
The CEO and co-founder of Frank & Beans is Frank, the uber smiley and generous founders dog. So of course he insisted that our canine friends have an ice cream option too, so they can be kept entertained whilst you enjoy yours.
We discussed our favourite flavours which I have listed here. Different flavours appear everyday so forgive if we have missed a fair few (don’t fret there is always chocolate sorbet on the menu).

Madagascan Vanilla
