The Guardian has taste-tested 99 of Britain's most unusual ice creams for its 2026 Scoop of the Year feature, and Bears Ice Cream Imaginarium took first and joint second place.

Brown Butter Popcorn was ranked number one. Two more Bears flavours shared second place, while Blueberry & Lavender Jam, Meringue Swirl placed 18th. That means four Bears creations made the top 20, all produced in our Whitstable kitchen.

Chef-made ice cream, crafted with Kent ingredients, now at your local farm shop.

There’s something that just makes sense about finding Bears Ice Cream at Perry Court Farm. A place rooted in local produce, now stocking ice cream that’s built around it.
