Our Story

Our family is at the core of our business - and we certainly are a proud farming family.

It all started with our summerhouse which we proudly opened in April 2010 - a young and exciting new business venture with a simple vision - to create and sell the best possible homemade gelato Ice Cream, cutting no corners - everything from scratch - here we stayed and grew our business over 8 years.

With dreams of a permanent home for our ice cream - we opened our Field Kitchen on the 25th October 2018.

The new building, which replaces the summerhouse, marks the start of a new chapter for Otter Valley. Beneath the oak trusses high overhead, walls of glass allow you to experience panoramic views of the unspoilt Otter Valley. The valley nestles in the Blackdown Hills, which have been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. At the same time, the restaurant is highly accessible, being just off the A30. This road is known as the Gateway to the South West, as drivers head from London/the South East towards Devon and Cornwall.

We are passionate about creating the best possible gelato style Ice Cream. We have travelled to Italy on several occasions to learn from the worlds best, as well taking gelato making master classes, and gathering master skills from an Italian Chef.
