The essential idea
Seasonality creates a natural rhythm for the flavour cabinet.
Summer favours berries, stone fruit and refreshing herbs. Autumn brings orchard fruit, nuts and caramel. Winter invites chocolate, spice and festive pudding notes, while spring suits citrus, rhubarb and floral accents.

Spring
Rhubarb custard, lemon elderflower and strawberry beginnings.
☀️
Summer

🍂
Autumn

Taste, texture and practical serving — considered together.

Common questions
Before the next scoop.
Product recipes and operating conditions can change. For allergies or specific dietary needs, request current information before ordering.
How long do limited flavours last?
Availability depends on batch size and ingredient supply, so some flavours may sell out quickly.
Will a favourite return next year?
Possibly. Customer response, ingredient quality and the seasonal plan all influence the next rotation.
Are seasonal ingredients always local?
We prioritise quality and suitability. Some ingredients, such as mango, cocoa or vanilla, naturally come from further afield.
Can seasonal flavours be ordered for events?
Yes, subject to availability and sufficient lead time.
