New Forest Ice Cream, the award winning ice cream supplier, is showcasing a mouth-watering selection of tantalising flavours at Hotelympia including the new Mango and Cream, Blueberry and all American Key Lime Pie dairy ice creams, all of which will all be available for sampling on the stand throughout the show.
The sales team will also be on hand to deliver expert advice on the importance of the dessert ambassador to the food service operator as well as providing top tips on driving dessert sales.
Christina Veal, director, New Forest Ice Cream explains. “With an established customer base serving trade and retail customers in the south west, over the last 12 months we have focused on expanding nationwide by developing a wholesaler network across the UK. With a dedicated field sales team, we are building up a national distribution network which means we can introduce our desserts to a much wider audience.”
“What makes us different to other suppliers is that we can offer a top quality product at an extremely competitive price. This translates to real value for money, for both the wholesaler and food service operator. In the current climate being able to offer a delicious dessert at an affordable price point, which offers the operator a decent margin is more important than ever. With our ice cream, a 3 scoop serving priced at £4.00 generates a very healthy profit margin of around 80% for the operator.”
Visitors can also find out about New Forest Ice Cream’s new bespoke menu service which allows customers to create personalised table top menus featuring all their favourite ice cream desserts. Customers can pick and mix from 53 ice cream and sorbet presentations. The menus are available in a variety of formats and sizes, from contemporary through to more traditional designs to complement all interiors. “The menu service has been extremely popular, with one customer increasing dessert sales by an impressive 138% after introducing the menu concept to his pub.” Says Christina.
“Price aside, the quality of the product is just as important.” Says Christina. New Forest ice creams and sorbets are made in the heart of the New Forest in a nut free environment. They contain no eggs, artificial colours or GM ingredients and all flavourings are from natural sources. “Because we insist on using only the best ingredients, our ice creams and sorbets are a great dessert choice which not only tastes fantastic but which meet most dietary requirements.”
