From farm to tub, every ingredient matters. 💛

That's why our Strawberry & Lemon Curd Sponge is made with fresh milk from Hinxden Farm, juicy strawberries from Kelsey Farm and Mr Bear's own lemon curd recipe.

Every scoop is handcrafted in our Whitstable kitchen, where real ingredients come together to create something a little bit special.

Because great ice cream starts long before the first scoop. 🍓🍋

We had such a brilliant time at Macknade's Beer & BBQ Festival last week ! 💛

It was so lovely chatting to familiar faces, meeting lots of new Bear Cubs and, of course, scooping plenty of ice cream along the way.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by for a scoop, a chat or to try something new. Days like these are what we love most, being part of our local food community and sharing a little creative happiness, one scoop at a time.

Fantastic ice cream starts with fantastic ingredients. 🍦

Our Raspberries come from Kelsey Farms in Canterbury, the milk for our ice cream comes from in Cranbrook. We make a delicious pistachio brittle and fold it through for a little crunch.

Brilliant ingredients turned into Raspberry Ripple & Pistachio Brittle ice cream. 🐻🍦

Not all ice cream is created equal.⁠
⁠
Take our award-winning Blueberry Lavender Jam Ice Cream, crowned Best Dairy Product at the Taste of Kent Awards 2024. 🏆⁠
⁠
Every scoop starts with incredible ingredients. The blueberries come from a specialist farm in Norfolk, the lavender is grown just down the road at in Sevenoaks, and the milk comes from Farm who are based in Cranbrook.⁠
⁠
It's a flavour that sounds a little unexpected, but that's exactly what we love. Sweet blueberries, fragrant lavender and rich local milk come together to create something truly special.⁠
⁠
Small batch. Chef-made. Award-winning. 🍦💜⁠
⁠

17/06/2026

We're always curious about where flavour can take us...⁠
⁠
This time, that journey led us to juicy peaches and fragrant red peppercorns.⁠
⁠
The result is bright, summery and wonderfully aromatic, with sweet fruit balanced by subtle floral spice. 🍑✨⁠
⁠
Its delicious, run don't walk! 🏃🏻🍦⁠
