13:31 Easiest thing and most complimentary with a coffee that sprang to my mind to give free with a coffee would be small croissant pastry or mini doughnut in the same shape or square. Biggest expense would be finding or making the moulds but the great thing would be you can simply fill the pastry with flavoured ganache or creams to suit.

You are 100% rightabout the air in the soft scoop diluting the flavour. We run old school taylor gravity fed machines with no air pump. Our ice cream tastes so much more creamy. Its thicker and feels more quality. The down side is we use more mix per portion though.
10.23 Smells the aroma, saviours the taste, discusses with colleague. The its James turn - scoff, scoff. Can I try the Lemon too ? Lol - love it. Keep up the good work.
hi James, im pretty well travelled but have only seen this once. north coast of tenerife outside a gorgeous ice cream shop was a lady sat at a circular spinning station. she was on a fixed seat and on the spinner were about 6 sort of waffle hot plates. she would put a squirt in one and put the lid down, spin it a bit and take the flat cone out and wrap it into a cone and on to the next. basicly a rotating production line. loads of people waiting and watching and then they customised them by dipping the rim in chocolate, nuts, etc i would be hunting one of those down!!!!!! premium cone for premium ice cream
Ready to see the cone machine in action. For the sandwiches, do you not have turbo chefs in the UK? In the USA, the premium coffee shops have their commissary make them and there are presets to heat them perfectly on the machine.
James, ive lived in uk my whole life and I have actually noticed there just isnt any good quality ice cream in the supermarkets in general. Its all very artificial . Except actually, the Scottish cream that you find. I actually think the UK supermarkets need more quality ice cream and better choice.
Excellent !! James what would be top books & your observations on -when facing challenges in workplace or job search in uncertainty how to thrive under pressure with some effective model of thinking that's progressive even in high stress situations so that i come out as a winner ?
People would definitely buy into paw patrol ice cream. A place near me did kids ice creams that came in a plastic cup with 3D animals on them. A proper cup you could keep, so of course we have loads and the kids always wanted a new one 😂
Why don't you offer a premium range. Scrap all of the emulsifiers, stabilizers, food colourings, and palm oil. Use better quality ingredients and offer it at a higher price point, side by side to your current offerings. Test it in your shop. You can also do branded waffle cones. You can get a custom CNC food grade aluminum plate and cone maker from China for less than £1000. The USP is the smell of the cones been made in store. We make super premium ice cream and gelato in Mexico, and we have no problem with profitability. I would be very surprised if you couldn't make it work in the UK.
So inspirational James, thanks, u r legend The Fair: SIGEP Rimini (| International trade fair for ice cream, confectionery and bakery), next one will be Jan 2025
That would be an obvious scam and HMRC would be all over it. Plus you’re now asking customers to go through some bizarre low-rent self service ritual with boiling water.
If its consumed on the premises then its vatable regardless of the container or means its used to serve. If it’s consumed outside on your seats that’s vatable too.
I'd only make it to one stand, and then spend all day "can i try the raspberry?" "can i try the lemon?" "can i try the coconut?" "can i try the Strawberry?" "can i try the raspberry?" "can i try the Chocolate?" "can i try the Vanilla?" And just keep going until they kick me off 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
Meanwhile diabetics are now topping 5 million in the UK with the cost to the NHS being £1.5m per hour. Really puts the cost of those stalls in perspective.
Great video James! I'm half english and half italian and with this video I was able to satisfy my cultural heritage 😊
Watching you try all those ice creams kept making me smile. Living your best life there James!
Happy James Sinclair
This inspired me so mucn for things i can do in my own business

Great video James, as you now know I’m an absolute coffee lover so this is close to my heart. Did you make a decision on the coffee machines?

Really great video James. Lots and lots of great take away inspiration. Thank you.
Fantastic one James. We couldn't agree more. One has to get out there to see whats happening & whats new for fresh ideas. ❤
James is the textbook definition of Vertical integration :)
Great video, love the soft background music Chubbs 😂

Great video back to content I really enjoy 🎉
Fun episode, cheers. Gelato/special ice cream is a fairly big thing in London though. Especially around Leicester Square.
I see - a place we will be one day! I am on it.
great vid James - enjoyed this one a lot
Glad you enjoyed it

Give him time and he would be pushing his ice cream 🍨 tubs out too the supermarkets.
I’m not sure which supermarkets you’re going to! Try somewhere like Booths. Lots of fantastic artisan suppliers.
Excellent !!

Fabulous video
Have you ever thought of training your staff to upsell a more premium icecream at your retail shops?
So inspirational James, thanks, u r legend

Another great video
So you could sell coffee granules in the cup without VAT and then give the (free) option of hot water for them to pour and save on the VAT?
That’s not how it works 😂
@@WintuhLiving Obviously it's not how it works but if they have paid for the granules then no VAT
That would be an obvious scam and HMRC would be all over it. Plus you’re now asking customers to go through some bizarre low-rent self service ritual with boiling water.
if u sell the products in takeaway containers and then consumers sit in to consume it do you need to pay vat ... how about seats outside ?
If its consumed on the premises then its vatable regardless of the container or means its used to serve. If it’s consumed outside on your seats that’s vatable too.
Great video, how many times during your trip did you get brain freeze?
Hi James seaside ice cream ,maybe adding a small stick of rock with rossi logo rolled in it little Johnny would love it!.Just an idea
Hello james
My name is kripalsinh
I am. From india
I am a exporter
I am searching buyers for my product
Are you importing goods from India
I run a sandwich business maybe I should contact James 🥪
That's good, That's good, That's good, That's good, That's good, That's good, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd only make it to one stand, and then spend all day "can i try the raspberry?"
"can i try the lemon?"
"can i try the coconut?"
"can i try the Strawberry?"
"can i try the raspberry?"
"can i try the Chocolate?"
"can i try the Vanilla?"
And just keep going until they kick me off 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
essential product research!
The VAT rules on food are frickin stupid and need revising asap!
i thought Brexit simplified all that EU bollocks?
high end quality ice cream at a fair price will cause people come back again .. or you just rip people off during summer
I feel like James is 12 months away from running his own convention 😅
You should add nicotine to you're items so people get hooked straight away
Think someone doesn't know the difference between Gelato and ice-cream 😂😂😂😂
You like the coconut
Hello sir

All in moderation.
Everything is bad for you when it's in excess including good ol water.
Pls preach moderation rather than guilt.
I didn’t see the “force it down your throat” machine.
@@hutworx Wrong convention for that. 😉
