Best Gelato in Stapleford Abbotts

"A zany premium parlour all about indulgence to the highest degree, Chin Chin Labs is home to liquid nitrogen ice cream. While this might sound like a worn gimmick, Chin Chin Labs were among the first to this trend - a method of freezing the ice cream’s custard base instantly to make for a smoother and more flavourful result. Offering trusty flavours like burnt butter caramel and mango lassi, for those feeling extra indulgent their brownie cookie sundae will more than satisfy a sweet tooth."

"Don’t go to Chin Chin Labs for your average cake and cookie because ‘simple’ really isn’t in their vocabulary. They are most famous for their ice-cream made with liquid nitrogen but what a lot of people don’t know is they make and bake a whole load of cakes, cookies and pies downstairs in their in-house bakery. Find things like their naughty titty cakes, party cakes and hot cherry pies."

"Restaurants Vegetarian Camden Market. They say:‘Europe’s firstliquid nitrogen ice-cream parlour.’. The sweet stuff: Cherry pie and chocolate cookier but the main event is the kits for creating you own nitrogen ice cream."

"Instagram’s favourite pancakes can be found halfway down Bedford Hill, Balham’s most culinary thoroughfare. Milk’s weekend pancake selection changes, well, weekly, but recent iterations include rum-and-raisin with boozy medjool date cream, and a buckwheat stack that appeared to have had a lemon meringue pie dropped on top of it. The food occasionally comes with a side of hauteur, but it’s worth sucking it up for the truly inventive cooking."

"Proving that aesthetic food can be delicious too, Milk Train specialise in creative offerings that have delicious flavour combinations to match. Set in a light and airy interior with hanging flowers, this Covent Garden spot is a real treat for the senses. While their ‘normal’ ice creams are fairly luxe themselves, if you’re looking for extra wow factor we recommend taking on their specials menu."

"If you’re looking for a London dessert that’s super Instagrammable but also insanely delicious, Milk Train is the place to go. Their soft serve ice cream comes with a whole variety of sugary toppings, including giant sprinkles, Oreos, chocolate pretzels and popcorn, and surrounded by a choo-choo candy floss cloud. You can create your own cone or choose from one of their colourful creations."

"Run by the same duo behind Bocca di Lupo in Soho, Gelupo doesn’t really need an introduction. The smoothest, creamiest, most generous scoops of gelato in creative flavours like Snickers, ricotta sour cherry – tangy, slightly nutty, always a favourite – and custard millefeuille, follow Gelupo on Instagram for the latest specials. 7 Archer St, Soho, London W1D 7AU"

"Jacob Kenedy (of Bocca di Lupo) and Victor Hugo (not the author…) came up with Gelupo in 2010 and opened it right opposite the restaurant. New flavours from the popular Soho store this summer include peanut butter and raspberry, malted milk stracciatella and ricotta sour cherry. As well as their Soho store, they deliver to every London postcode."

"Seasonal ingredients are at the focus of La Gelatiera, so flavours tend to change most weeks – and so return visits can be attributed to curiosity over greed. Its award-winning gelato is made with cream and milk from Jersey cows, with a selection of vegan alternatives available too. Of those we’ve had, its honey, rosemary and orange zest is a fragrant favourite, Cornish blue cheese is mixed with walnuts for a savoury option, while a dairy-free dark chocolate gelato comes spiced with Calabrian chilli."

"Savoury scoops like basil and chilli, honey and rosemary or fresh watercress and lime, these flavours are bold but award-winning. That being said, the less adventurous milk chocolate is silky and super rich, simple but so perfect."

"La Gelatiera – A highly acclaimed gelateria sits humbly in a cosy side street location. Any trip to the west end should include a pit"

"Restaurants Ice-cream parlours Piccadilly. The first London outpost of an Italian-based chain, Grom sells gelato come una volta (‘like it used to be’), and their stuff certainly has a very different texture to your usual scoop – extremely creamy and dense, with pure natural flavours up front. The signature serve involves pastry cream and lemon peel, but also try the Italian nougat version, the green pistachio or one of the specials – perhaps ‘caramello al sale’ (caramel and Himalayan pink salt)."

"Restaurants Ice-cream parlours Soho. With London outposts from Camden to Chelsea, this international gelato chain is a big presence in the capital, famous for its highly photogenic ‘flower cones’ (thin slabs of ice cream artfully arranged like petals). Expect a mash-up of reworked classic flavours and more exotic options – from coffee, salted caramel and chocolate to banana, passion fruit and amarena cream with black cherries."

"Being given a rose is cool and all, but have you ever been given a rose you can eat?. You’ll never be happy with a basic rose again. Global ice cream chain Amorino has spots dotted all over London, over 20 flavours to choose from, and gives you the freedom to pick as many as you want."

"There are a lot of Amorinos around – not just in London but across Europe too. While it’s a chain, its ice cream is still second to none. Classic flavours are the focus here and it tends to be simple but effective: see an Amorino and you’ll get a cracking cone."

"The ice cream at Gelateria Danieli is quite literally fit for a Queen: this gem of a gelato joint has sites in Kingston and Richmond – one of which sits in a particularly pretty spot on the green – and its vanilla creation is so good it was served at the Queen’s 80th birthday party in Kew Gardens. Sure, that was a little while ago now, but the standard remains as good as ever. Health conscious ice cream cravers will also be pleased to know that the gelato here is all low fat, with frozen yoghurt, dairy free, nut free, egg free, high protein and gluten free options available too."

"Restaurants Contemporary European Herne Hill. A brunch and pizza spot at the Brockwell Lido Café from the sourdough specialists. A waterside venue with a difference, this lovely alfresco space nudges up against the 1930s art deco splendour of the lido."

"The much-loved pizza pioneers 400 Rabbits have taken over the Lido café in Brockwell Park. Expect toasted banana bread, oat milk porridge and Portuguese eggs with sourdough. Wash it all down with a C-Bomb juice (orange, lemon and cherry) or a Bloody Mary."

"Made from Jersey milk, the ice creams at Bears Ice Cream are rich and luxurious without being overwhelmingly sweet. They’re the sort of scoops you want to ease yourself into after a hard day; the dairy equivalent of a Tempur mattress. Flavours like rhubarb crumble and custard – a personal fave that's given a slightly savoury edge by the presence of Maldon salt – and the Golden Syrup sponge ice cream exemplify what Bears is all about."

"While everywhere claims to serve the best ice cream in town – and Bears do too – they do at least have a sense of humour about what they do. Ice cream here is fun: all sorts of flavours (with the owners clearly having a sweet tooth), often piled high with hundreds and thousands, brownie bites, Lotus biscuits, Smarties, and sauces galore. The little bears – designed to look like, you guessed it, baby bears – are particularly adorable."

"The Goldhawk Road shop specialises in Icelandic style soft serve ice cream, with flavours like golden syrup sponge; peanut butter, banana & chocolate shard; and rhubarb crumble & custard, which can be topped with all manner of fruit, sauces and chocolate."

"The current enthusiasm for vegan food shows no signs of waning and this weekly market is bringing plant-based street food to the fore, with a rotation of the best vegan traders in London. Head to Rupert Street in Soho for jackfruit tikka masala from Spicebox and Eat Chay’s chilli lemongrass soya Vietnamese bánh mì baguettes."

"Broadway Market and Broadway Vegan Market have something for everyone – including over 30 great vegan stalls. Everyone is sure to love the delicious offerings of Young Vegans. Opening Hours: The vegan market is every Saturday from 10am to 4pm, while the classic Broadway Market is Saturdays from 9am to 5pm."

"Combining Puglian pizza know-how with Indian inspiration, this new Tufnell Park pizzeria is hoping to woo folk with their fusion pizzas."

"You don’t need to be taken out to the ball game to enjoy a half-time hot dog. At Bubbledogs, you can enjoy the finger-food thrills of the fast food snack in a considerably more upmarket setting, with dozens of types of Champagne available to quaff while you scoff at this Fitzrovia bar. The hot dog menu boasts eight different options, ranging from the New Yorker with beef fat-caramelised onions and creme fraiche, to the French Connection with shaved foie gras and sherry vinegar jelly."

"It's not just the fact that the hot dogs here are paired with an extensive selection of champagnes that makes them fancy (although, clearly, it helps) – it's the array of toppings that really get people swooning. Choose from the likes of the Mac Daddy –slathered with macaroni and cheese – or the BLT, a pimped-out version of the classic with truffle mayo."

"Conveniently located behind the Bubbledogs, the Kitchen Table prepares a new menu every single day. The tasting menu will cost you £125 and dishes change according to the seasons. With seats for only 19, you are in for a fine dining experience for sure."

"Restaurant residencies have kick-started many wonderful things on the London food scene – and quite a few of these success stories have begun at The Sun and 13 Cantons. This Soho pub has been hosting regular pop-up restaurants and supper clubs for the last four years, acting as a platform for promising new chefs and projects. Arguably its biggest hit was hosting Asma Khan’s first three-month pop up, leading to the opening of her critically acclaimed Kingly Court restaurant Darjeeling Express."

"It turns out The Ritz is not only a place for adults, children are welcome too. Enjoy the beautiful interior of one of London's most prestigious hotels alongside your children, but be prepared to pay a bot more for your meal- it is The Ritz after all. Reviews say: "Beautiful surroundings, efficient and charming service and imaginative food perfectly cooked."

"John Williams' Michelin-starred cooking is great any time, but we can't think of a more beautiful spot for a lunch than overlooking the gardens at The Ritz. If you're after something a little more casual, head to the hotel's Secret Garden bar where they serve up club sandwiches alongside caviar and champagne."

"We are ready to welcome you for lunch today in the Michelin-starred Ritz Restaurant. #ritzreveals #michelinstar #lunchtime. A post shared by The Ritz London (@theritzlondon) on Sep 15, 2017 at 4:58am PDT"

"Completely unshowy and without any hint of pretention, Fourpure has been making top quality beer in the most seemingly simple of locations. It’s already gaining a wider audience and their taproom is well worth a visit. It’s also worth mentioning their excellent blog which is great reading for people who love beer and life in general."

"Another Bermondsey gem, this popular South London brewery has 16 taps to try, and an ever-changing collage f classics and new experiments to try. Again located under the railway arches of Bermondsey, the large taproom and bar give guests a chance to try some very unique flavours, ranging from the zesty to the chocolatey."

"The brew house offers beers and pale ales as well as ageing sours and dark ales – all in colourful tins aimed at having a lower environmental impact."

"24 taps mean a lot of diversity for this tap room-cum-blendery. With worldwide beers all lovingly crafted within the oak barrels behind the bar, the Barrel Project is one for those who want an almost overwhelming amount of choice when it comes to picking their drink of the evening. Guests at Hotels in Paddington Hyde Park won’t want to miss the amazing array of internationally brewed beers, giving everything from Big Milk Stouts to the Sour Solistice IPA."

"Situated along the popular Bermondsey Beer Mile, The Barrel Project is a cool taproom housed underneath an archway. Not only does it contain around 200 oak casks, but it's also got 24 taps of house-aged and international brews."

"Independently owned Hammerton Brewery run regular events from tastings and tours to brewery-based yoga sessions. Using the finest quality ingredients and modern brewing techniques, they are renowned for their unique sips."
