On Sunday my sister and her husband were going "doon the watter" on the Waverley which was our wedding gift to them. Their destination was Arran but their trip set off from the Glasgow Science Centre and amongst other ports of call was due to dock at Largs at lunchtime. In addition to this there was to be the Taste Ayrshire Food Festival at Largs. What better excuse is there for a trip down to the coast for an ice cream at Nardini's.
We got to Largs just in time to rush down the promenade to where the Waverley had docked to wave in the hope that my sister and brother-in-law would see us and after a few frantic text messages we got confirmation that we had been spotted. Unfortunately I could not confirm I had seen them!
Anyway once that had been done and we had wandered around the food festival and bought some tablet and clootie dumpling we had built up an appetite for Nardini's.
We were delighted to discover that they were doing a summertime special of smoked haddock and chips with salad and coleslaw. This was absolutely delicious. We had previously had smoked fish in batter when on holiday in Dublin and had never been lucky enough to find it available here. We can thoroughly recommend it.
For dessert we both decided on ice cream. I plumped for a scoop of double cream vanilla and a scoop of raspberry ripple whilst Martin plumped for vanilla and butter pecan. I can confirm that all three flavours were absolutely delicious.
And the weather? Well who cares about the weather when the Ayshire food is so delicious!
