A wonderful, 1950's themed ice-cream parlour has opened in Leamington and in town today to do some shopping we decided we should check it out..
We were very taken with the decor and atmosphere which we thought would not have been out of place across the pond.
(One customer was not so easily pleased - seeing the decor he came in but once realising that the juke box was not actually playing Elvis he turned in his heel and went out again).
The ice-cream selection was very good too (but we failed to photograph having spent ages making our choices from the extensive menu).
David poses in front of his new mantra!
I am including this last photo as it shows the decor rather well - except for the mural which seems to have been slightly photo-bombed by the light shade!!
Our mission when we return to the US should perhaps be to seek out an authentic 1950's ice cream parlour for comparison purposes...
Very nice, David looks at home there. So............did he choose the Caramel Sutra or equvalent?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you haven't found Carl's Frozen Custard place at Fredericksburg or, nearer to home, Pop's Old Fashioned in Alexandria!
He chose the rather British flavour 'Horlicks and Malteser' (what else??), made just a little more racy with the addition of a topping of white chocolate chips!!
