A new ice cream parlour is set to open in Pateley Bridge tomorrow (March 29).
Treats, which will take over the former Pateley Ice Treat unit, will be the latest addition to the High Street’s hospitality scene.
Owner Janet Chambers, who is originally from Liverpool but has lived in Yorkshire for 40 years, told the Stray Ferret she and her husband took over the business after it remained closed for more than a year.
She said Treats will serve Brymor ice cream, ice cream sundaes, banana splits and milkshakes, as well as vegan ice cream and sorbets, cakes and eventually hot sandwiches and soups.
Ms Chambers added:
“I am excited and nervous about opening. We are hoping to be more than an ice cream parlour and hope to collaborate with our neighbours, such as the new bookshop in Pateley, with events for both adults and children.
“As my background is in art and design I am also hoping to offer art classes and a space for children’s parties.”
Treats will serve a range of ice creams and sweet treats.
Ms Chambers also recently applied to the BBC’s Great British Bake Off, she said, but added due to working full-time she “could not put the usual time and effort into her application”. Instead, she and her husband put their savings into buying the parlour. She said:
“Long-term we are going to re-brand to be called Treats.
“I want it to be a place where people feel they can “treat” themselves, friends and family, and to offer the community something all year round.”
Ms Chamber said the parlour will open Friday to Monday this weekend, plus Tuesday if the weather permits, from 11am to 4pm. It will open Saturday and Sunday thereafter, while in its infancy.
