"Decided to pop in as we were heading home - expecting to just get a small bowl of ice cream before heading. The entire menu looked incredible and we spent 20 minutes actually deciding what we wanted to get - and we were very pleased with our choices. The size of portion on both the strawberry dish & banana split were unbelievable, and the flavours of the ice cream & waffles were also spectacular."
