MORE exciting plans lie ahead for a popular ice cream company following the successful launch of its fruity ice lollipop.

This summer the Handmade Ice Cream Company, based in Ulverston, has worked hard to produce high quality Lake District ice lollies, made from 100 per cent fresh squeezed fruit juice.

It has hopes of expanding its demanding franchise and has plans to throw alcohol into the mix.

Entrepreneur and owner of the Handmade Ice Cream Company, Steve Darvill, said he had been playing around with the idea for a bit.

Some of the new exciting ice lollies Mr Darvill had in mind was a ‘Gin and Tonic’ lolly as well as a fruity peach Bellini.

He added that he had his fingers crossed that things went to plan for next year for the possible opening of a new ice cream parlour in the South Lakeland area.
