Sussex's Artisan Ice Cream Revolution Begins

Nestled in the picturesque landscape of East Sussex, Hannah Miall is crafting more than just ice cream—she's building a legacy. From her humble beginnings in her parents' kitchen in Lindfield to a bustling unit at Dower House Farm, Hannah's journey is a testament to passion, perseverance, and a love for quality ingredients.

Hannah's entrepreneurial spirit was evident from her school days, where garage sales were her playground. Fast forward to 2019, and Miall's was born, initially with boozy sorbets. However, the path to success wasn't straightforward. Licensing hurdles led her to pivot towards ice cream in 2023, a decision that saw her business flourish.

Today, Miall's boasts 17 suppliers across Sussex, with her delectable creations reaching homes and festivals via her charming vintage caravan. Her flavours, from the beloved chocolate brownie to the cult-favourite salted pistachio, are crafted with local ingredients like Northiam Dairy milk and bean-to-bar chocolate.

Hannah's dedication is palpable. Working through heatwaves, she churned out up to 2,000 tubs weekly during peak times. Yet, she remains undeterred, driven by her love for the science of cooking and the joy of recipe development.

As Miall's Ice Cream continues to grow, Hannah dreams of expanding into theatres, cinemas, and eventually, the bustling streets of London. Her vision is clear: to become a household name akin to Jude’s ice cream.
