Norfolk Based Ice Cream Company Closes For Final Time

Norfolk Based Ice Cream Company Closes For Final Time

A 127-year-old ice cream business has permanently closed.

Parravani's Ice Cream, founded in 1898 in Norfolk and later based in Beccles, has entered a voluntary winding-up process. 

Giuseppe Parravani moved to East Anglia from a small village near Naples in Italy as a teenager. He used to trade using his own pony and cart in Bungay, becoming known as 'Bungay Joe'.

A notice at the site has thanked customers for their loyalty, marking the end of the UK's oldest ice creamery.
