A little background…

Mary’s Milk Bar is a cosy space for you to enjoy the best quality gelato and chocolate. Mary makes the ice cream every morning until 11am so there are fresh, every-changing flavours to sample. This also means that the choice of flavours changes every single day and can even sell out in the summer months – you better get down there early! You can take a scoop away with you, enjoy a special seasonal sundae or grab a hot chocolate float. In short, everything you want from an ice cream and chocolate is here.

Mary worked as a chocolatier but wanted to learn something new. She trained in Bologna, Italy at the prestigious Carpigiani Gelato University, not everyone can say they’re a Gelato graduate! She’s from that lovely republic of Yorkshire, and has fond memories of holidays in Scarborough, Whitby and Morecambe – all of which still have original milk bars…
