As summer starts everyone heads for the beach for a spot of relaxation, swimming and sand castle building, but the one thing that makes a trip to the coast is ice cream, so we decided to compile a list of what is on the safe list to get off the ice cream man.

Obviously your standard 99 in a cone is off limits because of the cone, however the ice cream is fine, and so is the flake so no reason you couldn't ask for it in a tub, if you want to be doubly sure of cross contamination ask the server to use a serviette to pick up the flake and tub. If you want sauces we advise to check the ingredients on the bottles, as for toppings check how they put them on the ice cream, if they roll the ice cream in it you may have a cross contamination issue. If they use a scoop and sprinkle over you may be ok but ask if they have the packets to check ingredients (beware that nuts sometimes contain flour) to be sure you can have them!

If you find an ice cream parlor rather than a shop or van, check which flavours are gluten free, most ice cream parlors usually have a large selection that is gluten free as well as sorbets if you want dairy free too. Make sure they wash the scoop first or use a different one for each flavour to prevent cross contamination from any flavours which do have gluten in like cookie dough or chocolate brownie. If you are lucky you might also find an ice cream parlor that does gluten free cones like Finleys in Lulworth, Dorset (which we reviewed here).

If you aren't sure about or don't fancy any ice cream, ice cream vans and shops usually have a good selection of ice lollies, here are the ones we know are safe for Coeliacs!
