Notes (in their own words):

Billy Van Creamy make ice cream free from artificial stabilisers, emulsifiers and flavours. It offers a wide range of dairy, vegan, gluten free and halal-friendly flavours made with fresh, locally sourced produce – and nothing else. Local suppliers include Schulz Organic Dairy, St David, Burd Eggs and Petty’s Orchard. They pit their own fruit, pick their own herbs, grind their own nuts, bake their own biscuits and make their own jams, so you can rest assured knowing everything in their ice cream is real and wholesome.

As well as ice cream, they make waffle cones (made daily), seasonal drinks some other menu items (e.g. jams and butters). They also offer cakes which are available via pre-order as well as catering for weddings and events.

Sustainability practices and impact on the environment are important to Billy Van Creamy. They source organic ingredients, where possible, from small producers and reduce waste by using stainless steel spoons for tastings, reusable dine-in options, and ‘BYO containers’ for takeaway. Milk is supplied in large bladders rather than small bottles and they are constantly trying to find better ways of reducing and disposing of waste.
