Brampton View care home scoop ice cream prize

To celebrate National Ice Cream Day, residents from Barchester’s care homes and hospitals up and down the country were invited to compete for the coveted Best Ice Cream Sundae title. The competition was run by Lakeland Dairies and the bar was set very high. Many of Barchester’s residents are very skilled cooks and everyone loves ice cream, so the competition was fierce.

The homes prize for scooping first place was a visit from local ice cream company Gallones. Upon visiting the home, they were able to talk through how the ice cream is made and offer many choices to residents, relatives and staff as a congratulations for winning. Hearing the classic jingle from the ice cream van brought back many memories for all involved.

Mo Masedi, General Manager at Brampton View Care Home said: “Our residents had such a brilliant time taking part in this competition, it has been such fun. However, the prize was even better, the visit from local ice cream company Gallones was extremely popular with all around the home.”

Judy, a resident at Brampton View Care Home commented: “I absolutely love ice cream and this was no exception. No matter the weather we can always make room for ice cream!”
