Quite possibly the richest, tastiest ice cream in the UK. Hocking's make vanilla ice cream to a generations old family recipe, believed to include clotted cream.
I was first introduced to it by my former grandfather-in-law who, so beloved of this local delicacy, would offer to get you some, only to return with a teaspoons-worth in a bowl. He, nor I, never tired of this joke.
At a time of nanny-state dictats, treat yourself to an indulgent bowl of Hocking's ice cream. And to be really naughty, eat it like the north Devonians do, with a splodge of clotted cream on top.
It can only be bought from the company's vans at the following locations - Ilfracombe Seafront, Bideford Quay, Appledore Quay, Torrington Commons and Westward Ho! Seafront - and I'm pretty sure they're only there through the summer months.
