Coco Ices, a new player in the ice cream business, has quickly made its mark by earning a prestigious 5-star hygiene rating from Dorset County Council for its ice cream van. The van received a clean bill of health following a thorough inspection, marking a significant milestone for owner Polly Lavinia, who has just recently ventured into the ice cream trade.
Polly Lavinia was overjoyed with the news, and to celebrate this achievement, she decided to share her excitement with the community. In a gesture of goodwill, she offered free ice cream to children on the streets of Yeovil, bringing smiles to many young faces.
“I’m absolutely thrilled with the 5-star rating,” Polly said. “It’s been a fantastic start to my journey in the ice cream business, and I wanted to do something special to thank the community for their support. Seeing the joy on the children’s faces was the perfect way to celebrate.”
The 5-star hygiene rating is a significant accomplishment for any food business, reflecting the highest standards of cleanliness and food safety. Polly’s commitment to maintaining these standards ensures that Coco Ices will continue to serve delicious and safe treats to its customers.
With this endorsement from Dorset County Council, Coco Ices is well on its way to becoming a beloved fixture in Yeovil, known not just for its tasty ice cream, but also for its dedication to quality and community spirit.
The 5-star rating comes after much controversy mainly on social media as Lavinia faced criticism although she has cleared those obstacles to dance around her van in delight between selling 5 star rated ice cream.
One loyal customer said: 'Im delighted for Polly - It was always a new venture, see faced some hurdles along the way but she's a dedicated hard grafting woman and many of us are delighted for her and on top of it all, we love her Ice Cream.'
