Enter the shop on a ‘boiling’ day (which is everyday in the Summer, sometimes twice!) and you’re senses will be met by that wonderful, hot, heady smell of milk and sugar simmering away gently in the background.  Customers can watch Silvio, son Michael, or one of the trained staff, pour the pails of finished ‘milk’ into the mixer, then 20 minutes later, they will lift piles of soft, dreamy Old Fashioned Vanilla to fill the cabinet in front of you, a simple process that is repeated throughout the day.

Nowadays, it’s not just the Vanilla the crowds queue up for- choose from a display of 36, ever-changing flavours daily, you will find it hard to make a selection.  From Pooh Bear, the Original McCallums Crunch, Home-made Tablet, to Raspberry Ruffle and Lemon Meringue Pie.  Son Michael has recently come up with new creations- a devilishly hot Chilli Chocolate, Taste the Rainbow, Toffee Tingle, Mallow Magic and recently ran a Facebook competition to find the name for his latest, and dutifully called it ‘Puff the Magic Toffee’ with the winners name proudly printed on the tag!
