00:00So, this is Munch's ice cream shop and this year we're actually celebrating 16 years here

00:07in Rock and Ore, in Hastings Old Town.

00:10Yeah, so we're down Rock and Ore and we are situated right next door to the wood shop

00:15that's also been here a long time and we're opposite the aquarium.

00:19The beach is just there, it's a perfect location.

00:23So, we've been here since 2009 and I moved to Hastings in 2009, actually live upstairs,

00:31living the dream, fantastic, fantastic view every day.

00:36Yeah, and what do we do?

00:39We do whippy ice cream, we do wonderful Marshfield Farm scoop ice creams, but what we're really

00:47well known for at the moment is our doughnuts and our doughnut trays.

00:51People come from far and wide to eat our doughnuts and our ice cream.

00:55We say we do the biggest and the best, freshest, hottest doughnuts in Hastings and I believe

01:01we do.

01:02Probably our best seller is Honey and Stem Ginger, it's really, really popular, salted caramel

01:08is a really popular one, all the oldest seem to like rum and raisin, but of course, the

01:14vanilla ice cream, always popular and we also do a range of vegan ice creams.

01:20We usually got four or five flavours, one, two, three, four, five, yeah, we've got five

01:25flavours on today.

01:26All our combs are vegan as well or you can have your ice cream in a tub.

01:31So, like I said before, we've been here for 16 years now and it's not because it's made

01:36us loads of money or anything like that, it's just we absolutely love it.

01:40We love what we do and for us, customer service is our biggest thing, not greeting our customers,

01:47giving them a good service, giving them our products at a good price.

01:50That's probably why I haven't got rich, to be honest.

01:53Obviously, the weather's just turned good, hooray.

01:56July and August, like once a kids break up, are our busiest times and we're going like the

02:01clappers.

02:01We're very, very busy, but the money we make in July and August actually has to cover us

02:07our rent and our bills through October, November, December, January, February, March, until we

02:14start going again in April.

02:16We do shut down for a couple of months in the winter.

02:18We don't go on a cruise.

02:20We don't make that much money.

02:21But like I said, we just absolutely love what we do.

02:24So, we'd just like to say thank you to all of the people from Hastings and all the people

02:29from much further afield, all the regulars that come and see us every year.

02:33We love seeing you.

02:35We love our job.

02:36It's so nice to see old and new faces and just thank you so much for making us the success

02:42we are.
