If you're down at Shepperton Lock on a sunny day, keep an eye out for Donnie's. It's a brand new ice cream bicycle parked by the Ferry slipway, right next to The Ferry Coffee Shop. Proper scooped ice cream, and the best view in Shepperton to eat it with. It only comes out in good weather, so if the bike isn't there, just ask at the Ferry Coffee Shop counter. Named after young Donnie, who tried the first one and announced, "it's not for baby sisters." The reel's on our socials.
👀 Looking ahead

Meon Media: small business support.
Island Motors: family-run MOT and servicing, who will collect and return your car.
They sit at the top of the Shepperton business directory search results, alongside lots of other local businesses. If you are looking for a plumber, a pub or a dentist, that is the place to start.
