A north Norfolk cafe has rolled out a new cool dessert range to help patrons combat the hot weather.

The owners of Horatio's, in Holt's Bull Street, have installed a Mr Whippy machine and believe theirs is the first business in the town to do so.

People can choose between vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavours and add a flake, sprinkles, nuts, chocolate balls and a variety of sauces including Biscoff.

Those who want to indulge a bit further can opt for a traditional treat such as a knickerbocker glory or a banana boat.

The venue's outside area is also open so people can soak up the sun while they tuck in.

Martin Allen, who took on the bistro with his partner Sarah Betts in December 2022, said the pudding push had been a success.

"We got the Mr Whippy soft ice cream machine because a lot of people asked why we didn't have one.

"They said it would be amazing as no one else in Holt had one.

"We don't expect it to be a massive money spinner but a lot of people have bought them so far - they seem to be especially popular with afternoon walkers around the town and school children on their way home."
