Mini #heatwave. The perfect time to try our new COAL ice cream!
Taste the delights of the colliery with our black vanilla Italian gelato with popping candy, available from the Sinkers’ Bait Cabin & ice cream bikes!
PS – no actual coal was used in the making of this ice cream!
Thanks to @paulhamlynfoundation for your support. phf.org.uk/wp-content/upload… instagram.com/p/Cdm8-l3IzXyP…
