We`re back with Emily & Will from @whollygelato_gfd for Part II of Meet the Member! ⚓👋🍦
Swipe across for a sneak peek at upcoming additions to the Wholly Gelato menu, their thoughts about Gloucester and more 👀❤️
Their current favourite menu item:
You cannot beat a gelato shake on a hot day – three scoops of gelato, topped up with milk, and whipped cream/sauces/toppings on top!
Any new dishes, concepts, events on the horizon?
Yes, we are looking to launch our new “deluxe” hot chocolate very soon, something which can be drunk on its own, paired with gelato, or even as a small accompaniment for your gelato scoops, to give that extra hint of indulgence. We are also looking to increase our takeaway offer, to bring even more flavours to our customers, which are not always available in standard takeaway tubs.
Their favourite thing about Gloucester:
Gloucestershire is an amazing food county, with a rich agricultural pedigree, and home to so many small businesses and artisans, many of whom we co-locate with at the Food Dock. It is not hard in Gloucestershire to find good food, and it is such a well-located city, with so much of the UK accessible within 2 hours.

Meet Emily & Will from @whollygelato_gfd
! ⚓🍦🐄
With an incredible passion for local, natural and seasonal produce, Emily and Will have brought the charm and ethos of the family farm dockside 🐄⚓
Below we asked them more about their experience here at the Food Dock, and uncover how a family farming operation became such a beloved part of the foodie community here in Gloucester!
What inspired you to open your business at the Food Dock?
"Having lived and worked in Gloucester all our lives, we have always had an attachment to the city and its history and love the regeneration that the Docks has seen in the last two decades. With our business already operating from its Farm HQ, we wanted to bring our product to a more central location, something which our customers had long encouraged us to do. The Food Dock and its focus on independent businesses like ours, was the perfect opportunity to take the next step as a business."
What has been your proudest moment so far?
"We love walking through the Docks and seeing people walking along the waterfront eating gelato or drinking shakes or coffees. Being a heavily take-out product, seeing people enjoying it on the go is really satisfying. We have also been thrilled with the amount of returning customers we seem to have, which hopefully means we are doing something right. One of our regulars, John, seems to be with us most days, which we and our staff love."
What is your favourite dish/drink/menu item from another Food Dock member?
"We love the collaborations with other businesses using our milk or gelato in their menu offering, especially the guys at Our House who pair the product so beautifully with their drinks/cocktails. But we are both massive Pizza lovers, so Bella Mia always go down well!!"
