If you love the idea of free ice cream, head to the newly opened Ice Cream Shop in Market Street on 2nd April, where they make their ice cream on site.
The shop is the latest venture for Shepherds Ice Cream, a family business based in Herefordshire and founded by Martin Orbach and Juliet Noble in 1987.
We caught up with their daughter, Connie Orbach, who is putting her own spin on things with this venture and explained the thinking behind the shop. “I moved to Abergavenny two years ago and have been thinking it would be a great place for an ice cream parlour ever since, so when the perfect spot came up on Market Street it felt like we just had to go for it.”
“We want to keep things simple but high quality, we make most of our flavours from scratch and buy our ingredients locally whenever possible. We’ll have a regularly changing list of ice cream flavours, which we’ll also use to make milkshakes. We’ll also be selling ice cream cakes by the slice, ice cream sandwiches and tubs of ice cream to take home.”
“We’re hoping to bring something a bit different to Abergavenny: our ice cream is made from sheep’s milk and we try to keep the sugar and fat lower than average ice cream so it has a cleaner flavour. But it won’t just be sheep’s milk ice cream, we’ll make sure there are always vegan flavours available so there is something for everyone.”
The Ice Cream Shop opens on Saturday April 2nd at 11B Market Street, Abergavenny and Shepherds Ice Cream will be celebrating with free ice cream all day.
