Terri Colpi the manager of Colpi's kindly got back to me to confirm that her ice cream is "100 per cent nut and egg free. It is also gluten free, e number and chemical free. And, less than 5% fat content!". This was great news and just came at an opportune time.
So on Monday 6 August, the weather outlook was bleak with heavy rain forecast and this made it a perfect day for ice cream.
I remembered from our recent visit that they also have an extensive menu which meant there would be something for everyone.
The Riverside Museum is a great place especially for kids who are Thomas the Tank Engine mad and Martin and I will certainly go back when the kids are back at school. The museum was really busy, probably due to the bad weather. This meant that there was a long queue at the café, so it was just as well that we had better plans and headed off for Colpi's in Clydebank.
I have to commend the staff again as nothing was too much trouble and they were only too happy to provide further info on ingredients etc for our little friend. Everyone enjoyed a small vanilla ice, but our wee chap couldn't have a wafer because it contained egg, but a quick word with the waitress and he was compensated with a "Team GB" flag (after all the olympics are on at the moment!)
Thanks to all at Colpi for helping to round off an exciting day out for the wee laddie and his family, providing a treat which is very hard to come by!
We also took home a 2 litre box and ... suffice to say there was none left a couple of days later!
