“Nice” Ice Cream – Saturday, May 22 at 10h00

In a small kitchen in Westlake Business Park, Cherylle Cowley and her staff make a selection of delectable ice creams and frozen yoghurts using classic and traditional ingredients and methods.
She has kindly agreed to tell us about these delicious products and let us sample them. After this there will be an opportunity to buy if you wish. Maintaining the cold chain is important so you are advised to bring insulated bags or boxes, preferably with frozen ‘bricks’ in them if you are going to take any home.

There is a very limited space which cannot accommodate more than twenty people at a time so we will have two sessions in order to accommodate the anticipated attendance. The first session will be at 10h00 and should finish just before 11h00 when the second session will start. When you book please indicate which session you would prefer to attend.

On Saturday mornings there are two good markets in the area so why not make a morning of it and visit the markets for breakfast before coming to the talk and tasting. The first is the Porter Estate Produce Market in Tokai which opens at 09h00. The second is the Earth Fair Food Market at South Palms, next to Builders Warehouse in the Main Road, Tokai.

The visit to The Nice Company is free but please book with Lorna as usual so we know how many people are coming.

Directions: See attached diagram.

Book with Lorna van Besouw as usual (see below) and please indicate if you are
coming to the 10h00 or 11h00 session. Bookings will close on Wednesday May 19.
