The best ice cream in Surrey & SW London

Gabriella Davis scours the county in search of the most delicious scoops this summer

Now the sun is on the horizon and is gracing us with its presence, it’s hard to resist the lure of an ice cream. I’m not talking Mr Whippy here – the McDonald’s of the cone world – but about artisanal ice creams and gelatos made with love (and served) by local independent stores and the rise of dessert parlours to enjoy all year around. We may not have lots of beaches but Surrey and its surrounding area do offer picturesque rivers and parks to chill out and cool off in. Here are some of my top picks as I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.

Best ice cream ever, and I also travel to taste, is De Paulo's in Bexhill on sea. I travel 2 hours just for a tub of it!

Surrey ice cream

Slip down into foodie West Sussex and taste some of England's best ice cream-- probably the best is Seriously Real ice cream hand made in Pulborough-- try it out at Fitzcanes in Midhurst for example

I think you may have missed one of the best in Surrey! Café Rialto in Dorking makes fantastic authentic Italian gelato. If you haven't tried it you're missing out. While you are there try the great Italian food too.
