Review of George and Davis
I went there alone on a Wednesday around 2pm and practically had the whole place to myself. I’m devoted to ice cream so my visit there was a long time coming.
I ordered a scoop of Bananarama (banana ice cream) in a cup (a waffle cone is 20p more, the cone itself looks delicious, though) - the price was very reasonable (£1.95 for one scoop) and the cup was completely full, it felt more like a scoop and a half to me. The ice cream was to die for. I have ice cream wherever I go no matter the weather and this is hands down the best banana ice cream I’ve ever had. The taste is very rich. As lovely as it was, I was disappointed in the lack of choices on the menu: only a handful of flavours are available, and fairly boring ones at that (strawberry, vanilla, chocolate). Still, there were 3 special flavours when I went, one of them being Christmas pudding.
The lady who served me was very friendly and professional. The place has a very nice atmosphere, greatly helped by the excellent music - Sam Cooke was playing when I went. I’ll definitely go back, if only to buy half a litre of banana ice cream to take home with me (£4.10). There’s also an on-going contest: if you’re the first to guess who the quote on the blackboard is by, you win a regular scoop of the flavour of your choice. I simply wasn’t learned enough on Wednesday but maybe I’ll have better luck next time.
