  • 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.

What a weekend! We were incredibly honoured to win Scottish Ice Cream Champions with our famous Double Cream Vanilla at the @royalhighlandshow 🎉 

Our joy was doubled by also securing the title of Overall Dairy Champion, competing against winners from all categories. This achievement is testament to our dedication and passion for excellence in ice cream. We couldn’t be prouder of everyone at Team Equi’s 🏆🍦 

AND last but not least, a huge well done to our friends at @parkfarm_ for winning the Reserve Overall Dairy Champion - they provide all of the fresh local whole milk that helps make our ice cream so special 😍
