Ice Cream....

I have never met anyone that disliked Thayers, in fact people seemed to rave over it. Thayers must have really paid so much attention to their flavours/ingredients to have perfected their product to such a degree. Makes you wonder why on earth they no longer exsist. What a crying shame. Their Vanilla always did it for me.

I think it was because their vanilla flavor tasted real and the ice cream wasn't too sweet. It just didn't taste like other ice creams. It was even unusual back then for scooped vanilla ice-cream to be white

Thayers called it dairy, not vanilla. I worked there as a kid, as did my brother, mother and 4 sisters, gorgeous ice cream

I built the upper floor extension to Thayers’ factory, Wentloog Rd in 1977. I’m sure we had some free ice cream from them. The old man, Thayer, was around then, I’d imagine he was the founder, he was in his 60s then I’d say. Saying that I was early 20s and anyone over 30 looked like they were in their 60s in those days
