BEARS ICE CREAM RECEIVES TWO GREAT TASTE 1-STAR AWARDS IN 2026
Two of our three entries in the 2026 Great Taste Awards have received a Great Taste 1-Star.
Great Taste products are judged blind, without branding or packaging influencing the result. Every award is earned on what is in the tub, which makes this recognition especially important to us.
BEARS TAKES FIRST AND JOINT SECOND IN THE GUARDIAN'S SCOOP OF THE YEAR TASTE TEST
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.

So we’re very happy to say that Bears Ice Cream is now stocked at The Grocer on Elgin in Notting Hill.
