Ecco Gelato

A family-run business that started with a single shop on Long Street in Sherborne in late 2016, and has since added a second on Shaftesbury's High Street. The ambition is to keep going, sharing gelato with more of the UK, but the operation still runs on the small scale it began with: a family, two Dorset towns, and a stated intention to make good gelato and get it to people.

More than 50 gelato flavours, plus desserts, with a weekly menu published online and a home delivery service. Orders placed by 8pm on Thursday go out on Saturday, so it lands in time for the weekend, and delivery is free within 15 miles of the Sherborne shop - there is a map showing the area covered. Gift vouchers are available too. Order online, or email Philippa and pay by bank transfer.
