Cheshire-based ice cream producer Snugburys launched a nationwide home delivery service, featuring handcrafted premium ice cream made with British cream and homemade inclusions prepared on-site. The family-owned business, led by sisters Hannah, Cleo and Kitty Hill, introduced the direct-to-consumer channel to ship 750ml tubs across the UK from 1 June, marking its first nationwide expansion beyond its established regional customer base.
The delivery range includes best-performing flavours such as Chocolate Brownie, Sea Salt Caramel and the signature Yum Yum, which combines caramel sauce, chocolate, toffee, homemade biscuit and caramelised cinnamon pecan nuts. Production remains based on the family’s multi-generational dairy farm in Cheshire, with Cleo Hill developing recipes inspired by her culinary training while Hannah and Kitty oversee operations and business growth.
For consumers, the launch makes premium farm-produced ice cream more accessible nationwide while tapping into growing demand for affordable indulgences and small luxury treats. The expansion also opens new growth opportunities for Snugburys as it extends its reach beyond its traditional regional market.
