Thayer's Real Dairy Ice-Cream in Eastbourne

Great local ice cream parlour. Friendly owner and lots of great flavours

One of the only places in Eastbourne that are open to get an ice-cream on a Sunday evening! Brilliant service (friendly and helpful), great choice of ice-cream flavours, very competitive prices and most importantly really tasty good quality ice-cream. Will definitely return to this 5* business!!! 😊

We popped in last night for some ice cream for my daughter's 5th birthday. We had some really really tasty ice cream and when we sung happy birthday to my daughter, she was presented with a Terry's chocolate orange by the owner! She was really pleased, it was such a lovely gesture. Highly recommended the ice cream here, it's sooo tasty and well priced

Lovely ice cream, owner could not have been more helpful. Lovely to see a local business with good old fashioned service.

Good ice cream and great owner! If you want a scoop of just ice cream - great but don't miss out on getting the scoop on the owner's life and experiences!

What a lovely lovely owner and amazing tasting ice-creamI’ve been parking outside this shop while doing deliveries for the takeaway next door always gives me a smile 😊

Lovely ice-cream shop. Fabulous owner . Smiley , friendly. Reasonable prices. So much choice. My new favourite place. Going to try a new flavour each time I come this year .

My family love Thayers for ice creams when it's hot, and hot chocolate when it's not. The owner is lovely and full of interesting stories. I could listen to them all day - he has certainly lived an extraordinary life. Of course the ice cream has to be good and it is - great choice and all the ones we've tried have been delicious.

Today was our first time in Eastbourne and at some point we decided to try some good LOCAL ice cream to cool down.Google brought up Thayers and oh boy, this was one of the best ice cream we ever had in the UK. We especially loved 'chocolate heaven' and regretted we took only one scoop of it, but then again 'coffee mocha' and 'rum and raisins' were too good to pass. Texture was just right and its taste I would describe as rich but not too sweet with plastic or powdery feeling many other mainstream icecream suffer from.The place itself is also full of soul, with its classic interior, something you would remember from childhood. Definitely be visiting again! Please, support this local business.

I was on my way to a pub in the Seaside area and discovered this.To be honest, this ice cream shop has been here for more than 40 years but as a child I wasn't really foodie and all I did was hang around in town.Anyway, better late and never.Behind this ice cream joint is the famous Italian Fusciardi's another gelato parlour which can be tried later but my priority was Thayer's!!!It was a relaxed ice cream joint with so many ice creams to choose from and they have soft ice/ softie / softserve which is made in house with Jersey Milk so it is expected to be creamy.There are a few tables so you can dine in!Having all these ice cream choices was a treat.I picked Cinnamon and Rhubarb ginger.There were also the usual like Pistachio, salted caramel etc which are available in the city.The ice cream texture was to my liking and it was thick, gooey and mastic like Turkish Ice Cream.The rhubarb ginger (left) was a surprise as it was loaded with crystallized ginger, although the rhubarb wasn't really prominent, the overall flavour was good.The other scoop was cinnamon (right), also good but it got outshone by the rhubarb ginger so if I were to choose cinnamon again, it should be paired with something lighter.
