Tarr’s Ice Cream Ltd, a fourth-generation family-run business established in 1920, has once again proven its excellence by claiming the top spot in the Vanilla Ice Cream category at the National Ice Cream Competition. Beating off competition from both industry giants and artisan newcomers, Tarr’s iconic vanilla recipe has solidified its place at the top.
The company’s legacy dates back to the founder, Alfred Tarr, who began crafting ice cream in a small general store in St Philip’s Marsh in 1920. Today, the Bristol-based company, now led by Alfred Tarr’s grandson, maintains a commitment to tradition, quality, and innovation. Tarr’s Ice Cream has become one of the south west’s leading manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers of premium-quality ice cream and lollies, with a loyal following across the region.
The annual National Ice Cream Competition, organised by the Ice Cream Alliance, celebrates the best in the industry. Tarr’s win underscores their dedication to excellence and the time-honored craft of creating exceptional ice cream.
