  • We do. You can download it here.

  • We made our award winning ice cream at our premises in Peacock Cross, Hamilton for over 90 years. In 2021 we made the leap to move to a brand new purpose built factory to meet the needs of our rapid expansion. Our new Rutherglen HQ is 45x times the size of our previous site and won Lanarkshire Best Green Business 2023!

  • As much as we’d love to have you all round, unfortunately, we are currently unable to provide factory tours due to health and safety restrictions.

  • Yes, we are! Our Managing Director, David Equi, is now the third generation of the Equi family to manage the business. His daughter Alex, fourth generation, joined the business in 2021 after graduating from university.

  • Double cream vanilla of course!

  • Where do we start? Our lovingly prepared ice cream is a unique blend of the finest ingredients and lashings of fresh Scottish milk and double cream. And unlike other folk, we don’t pump our ice cream full of air, cheap vegetable fat or unnecessary artificial additives. The result is an unrivalled range of deliciously quirky flavours that keep the awards flooding in.

  • They are indeed.

  • 99% of our flavours are indeed suitable for vegetarians but please check our allergy sheet here.

  • As proud holders of the SALSA registration we are very proud of our ability to supply customers both large and small while maintaining the highest standards in food safety.

  • You can contact us here or email info@equisicecream.com.

When M&S cookies go viral… you know the Equi’s family had to try them. 🍪🍦

 
David (our CEO & 3rd-gen ice cream maker) and daughter Alex just did the ultimate cookie + ice cream pairing taste test, and trust us, it’s dangerously good. Watch to see which Equi’s flavours matched perfectly with the viral M&S cookies.
Would Nonna approve? Maybe. Better get her some! 🍪

Come meet Ross, Glen & Grant, the three brothers behind Park Farm 🐄
 
Just like us, their family has been going strong for over 100 years. They’ve been farming in East Kilbride for generations and now supply all the fresh whole milk for our ice cream 🍦
 
In this behind-the-scenes visit, they share how they care for their cows, what the herd eats, and their commitment to sustainability.

It’s National Strawberry Sundae Day… so naturally, we made a sundae and then completely ignored the brief. 🍓

Sure, there’s strawberry sauce in there… but also raspberry ripple, pistachio swirl, chopped white chocolate, fresh raspberries, and a wee wafer for dramatic effect. Because who sticks to just one flavour? Not us. Ever. 😎 

Filmed this beauty in a @millerhomesuk showhome, because sundaes deserve a bit of luxury too. 🏡✨
