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!!"
