ICE CREAM @ Morelli's, Broadstairs
Jaffa cake, pumpkin, truffle, bubble gum or just choc? Broadstairs people have been piling on pounds at Morelli's for decades. So successful, outpost at Harrods, but knickerbocker glories taste best surrounded by gleaming chrome + Bakelite of original 1950s parlour. Morelli's, 14 Victoria Parade; 01843 862500; knickerbocker glories £4.35
