The number of distinct ice cream products reviewed by community members since the group launched in January 2021.
Maya Thornton started the Silvercliff Walk Facebook group in the summer of 2021 after a particularly good afternoon at a small parlour near the coast. She had taken a photo of a brown butter and honeycomb scoop, posted it to her personal feed, and got more comments than anything she had ever shared before. People wanted to know where it was, what it cost, whether the waffle cone was house-made. That response told her something. There was appetite, so to speak, for a dedicated place to talk about this stuff seriously.
The group grew slowly at first, mostly friends of friends and a few local food bloggers who found it through shared posts. The turning point came in February 2022 when a member posted a side-by-side comparison of twelve supermarket vanilla ice creams, ranked by ingredient list and texture. It went semi-viral within the food community on Facebook, and the group gained around 4,000 members in a single week. Maya had not planned for that. She recruited three moderators from the existing membership and they built the posting guidelines together over a long weekend.

“I found a salted caramel gelato at a small place in Bristol because someone posted about it here. Drove forty minutes. Worth every mile.”

The gap between when a supermarket marks down a product and when a deal site publishes it is usually 48 to 72 hours. By then the stock is often gone. The people who find the best ice cream deals in the UK are not using cashback apps. They are in communities where members post in real time.
Read more →The dairy-free ice cream category in the UK has changed significantly since 2020. The early options were mostly coconut-base products that tasted more of coconut than of anything else. By 2026, oat-milk and cashew-base products have caught up in texture and flavour complexity. The Silvercliff Walk community has reviewed over 80 dairy-free products since 2021.

Others are marketing exercises that taste like the idea of a flavour rather than the flavour itself. The Silvercliff Walk summer tracker exists to tell the difference, in real time, using member reports from across the UK.
