Ice cream in GC North

One of the waiting staff wandering around GC north right now with two flavours of Yarde Farm ice cream - when did this start?

Had the same in GC South 2 weeks ago when I was through. I thought it was a nice touch and indicates they are trying some things to give a better experience.

They were doing this in the Gatwick business lounge last time I was there. Didn't go with my beer but was a nice idea.

She actually looks genuinely happy to be doing that!
I presume she gets great reactions from people who aren't expecting this and it keeps her smiling.

Wish I had here here now for my 3 hour wait at GLA for a Twotter to Cambeltown.

If memory serves there used to be a ice cream freezer in GC south, near the cinema. Nice to see a return.

Yup, just round the corner, sadly went a few years ago.

Yep, had the same on Tuesday last week in South (I think, I always forget which one is which...)

Same wicker tray that they used to hand the pies round on! What will it be used for next? Prawn cocktails maybe?
