Nardini’s, Largs

It was with a quiet puff that the doors of Nardini’s of Largs finally re-opened for business again, just before Christmas 2008. With the inevitable delays incurred on a project that has taken over 3 years to complete, the Phoenix has definitely risen from the ashes. The beautiful art deco building on the sea front in Largs on the west coast of Scotland has been lovingly restored for hopefully the next 70 odd trading years.

We are very proud to say that the ice cream being made in this historic ice cream parlour is coming from our Corema Vertical Batch Freezers manufactured by Telme in Italy. The ice cream mix is produced in two Euromix 120L pasteurisers, whilst two Eurogel 900 machines, each with a batch capacity of 12L, are keeping the 42 flavour cabinets full. Despite such a large building, it took some clever design work from Neil James at RSS and some custom built stainless steel tables and cupboards to result in a very practical and functional laboratory workspace. David Equi shareholder of Nardini’s and owner of Equi’s of Hamilton, says “After working in the lab myself over Christmas I am very pleased with the result – its amazing how you fitted all the equipment into this small space and it was so well thought out – you really know what you are doing”. An ageing tank, a blast freezer, a 64 Napoli storage freezer and a storage fridge are included in the room along with the mandatory double bowel sink and hand wash basin.

We would like to wish David and his partners many years of successful business.
