Pinks brings a taste of its parlour direct to you via Rosey, the ice cream tricycle, or via its fleet of vintage ice cream vans. When it comes to the delicious flavours you can devour, co-owner Georgia Alston says: “We’ve been inspired by true classic British favourites such as rum and raisin and tutti frutti, as well as adding some more quirky flavours like unicorn and the pina colada sorbet, which is dairy-free and vegan-friendly.” Pink’s artisan gelato is made on-site at the newly opened Pinks Parlour in the heart of Bognor Regis, just a stone’s throw from the beach and prom on Waterloo Square.
