Sated but not stuffed after lunch in Bray it was to shopping that I turned to pass the time before dinner and again wandering into Fortnum & Mason to peruse men\u2019s furnishings it suddenly occurred to me I\u2019d read something about an ice cream shop within the store\u2019s confines, a quick consultation of the wall-mounted map leading me to The Parlour Large in size and open in design with stools set to a center island flanked by flowered laminate tables it was by friendly smiles from a team of three that I was greeted and opting for booth over barstool I was no sooner seated than a sample arrived, the bitter-sweet tang of icy orange marmalade topping a tiny cone. Obviously here for the frozen things but unable to resist a list of Fortnum\u2019s other fanciful foods it was with the assurance that scones would be baked to order that my midday snack continued and undoubtedly the best of the trip with pockets of sugar amidst pools of butter things only improved with the addition of thick, sweetened cream and a smear of strawberry. Admittedly torn on the list of sundaes it was eventually to my server that I turned and with suggestions of Knickerbocker Glory versus The Original Dusty Road I selected the later \u2013 the icecream itself a bit less rich than much of the artisan options in America but the sauces and accoutrements beyond reproach\u2026the whipped cream particularly something I\u2019d have gladly eaten from similar sized bowl.<\/p>\n

RECOMMENDED: The Scones, anything with whipped cream.<\/p>\n

AVOID: While not particularly \u2018bad\u2019 the ice cream simply doesn\u2019t stand up to much of what is available at US Scoop shops and restaurants in 2014.<\/p>\n

TIP: Opening at 10:00am and apparently often filled with patrons an off-hours visit or reservation is recommended.<\/p>\n
