Beaumaris
Red Boat Ice Cream
Parlour
While strolling around the street of Beaumaris I had to
visit my favourite ice cream parlour – the Red Boat. What can I say, if you
love ice cream then you will need to come to the Red Boat in Beamaris, never
have I enjoyed sitting in an ice cream parlour more, and it’s not just because
of the ice cream either. I love the décor; the bright red fifties feel sofas
and oak effect tables. The glass cabinets are bursting and teeming with ice
cream of every flavour imaginable, puffins sitting whimsically on the shelves
and the smell of fresh coffee in the air. Pictures of boats adorn the walls and there’s
the delicious whiff of coffee.
Yes at Red Boat you don’t have to choose ice cream if you
don’t want, although why you wouldn’t baffles me, there are at least 200
flavours to choose from and all hand made on the premises. It’s made of gelato
which is Italian and meant to be less fattening than more conventional ice
cream, so you can have a guilt free bowl of ice cream dream while you watch the
world go by. Gelato dates back to the 16th century and those cheeky
Italians are responsible for spreading the word across Europe as to the saucy
delights of the miracle that is gelato. What’s not to like?
However, as I'm trying to cut down of late; on this occasion
I chose a new item on the menu, fresh salmon, scrambled egg on brown bread and
a generous mug of Americano coffee. A most congenial atmosphere as usual with
customers of all ages chatting cheerfully away, some with a rather attractive
plateful of those dinky little sandwiches, others with their young children ordering
from the generous amount of ice cream from the glass cabinet.
Did I mention the ice cream?
Well, there are 200 flavours to choose from all made on the premises;
the ones in the glass cabinet are only a nosegay of what lies within the walls
of the Red Boat Parlour. Sea Buckthorn and orange, orange and peach sorbet,
organic apple sorbet, pineapple and basil sorbet, pear sorbet, crème brulee,
strawberry and cream ice cream, pure vanilla, mint choc chip, banana and
custard, heavenly chocolate honeycrumb crunch. Oh and they also have a
delightful bara brith flavour. For the uninitiated of you that don’t know what a
bara brith is, it's a cake type loaf that comes with currants
and sultanas. Imagine that as an ice cream.
I don’t think I can recommend the Red Boat Ice Cream
Parlour enough, it’s just about the sweetest, most delicious ice cream parlour
you're likely to find.
Did I mention the Ice cream? Oh yes….
