US tourist thinks he's found 'best ice cream in UK' - but it's not from Wales A seaside town has been praised for having the 'best ice cream in the UK' by a visitor The ice cream delighted the reviewer (stock photo) (Image: Getty) An American tourist claims he's found 'the best ice cream in the UK' after visiting a seaside town - but it's not from Wales. Nathan Leazer, a musician and content creator, has been documenting his travels on TikTok as @nathanleazermusic. In a recent blog, he visited Broadstairs, and he loved Morelli's Gelato. The ice cream parlour first opened in Broadstairs in 1932, and Nathan was seriously impressed by the historic parlour, which overlooks Viking Bay. Nathan told his followers: "You know what I love about England? I'm here in a place called Broadstairs, and I'm about to go have the best ice cream in the UK from a place called Morelli's. It's like an old diner." He then filmed himself chatting with the staff about the parlour's 93-year history, before showcasing the ice cream sundae he ordered. "Look at that," he praised. "Yeah, buddy." The review caught attention, gaining over 200,000 views and more than 17,000 likes. It also received lots of comments from ice cream fans who love the parlour, reports the Mirror. One fan said: "Omg, I did NOT expect to see Morelli's on my fyp today!! My grandparents used to go on dates there together and have taken all of us since then! It's such a special place."

Another viewer wrote: "Morellis is where my parents had their first date 40 years ago. We went there a couple of years ago for the Broadstairs food festival and went in there. They said it hasn't changed a bit, and still has the best ice cream." The ice cream parlour's website outlines the store's history and how it has retained much of its original charm. It states: "Morelli's in Broadstairs has, under the guidance of the Morelli family become a Mecca for gelato in the UK - set off by it's iconic 1950's flying canopy, Soda Fountain, original Lloyd Loom chairs and pink leatherette parlour seating." Morelli's Gelato Broadstairs has earned lots of praise on TripAdvisor, where it's ranked as the number one dessert spot in the town. An impressed reviewer said: "We have been a couple of times. It's like jumping back in time. "Love the decor, service good and the ice cream is great. Had the nine mini cones last time we went, very good. Just had a takeaway tub this time and a seat on the promenade in the late summer sun, PERFECT. Wished we lived nearer but probably better for our health that we don't…." Article continues below A second response said: "First went here in the early 70s. Little has changed and that is why it is an amazing experience. Afternoon Knickerbocker Glory and Banana Split were great. Evening hot waffle with ice cream. Yummy. Not the cheapest but you pay for the experience. If you visit Broadstairs, you must go to Morelli's!" A third visitor wrote: "During our recent family holiday to Broadstairs, we visited Morrellis on many occasions. The ice cream is the best in the world, and the choices available are extensive. We have been coming to Morrellis for years and each visit never disappoints." Someone added: "We went yesterday to Broadstairs with my family and we tried the gelato in Morelli's. It was the best gelato I've ever tried here in the UK, it reminded me home. Also, I would like to congratulate all the staff for being so professional and having an ace customer service. I highly recommend this place."

American tourist claims he's found the 'best UK ice cream' in seaside town
The tourist enjoyed an ice cream sundae in the review video that went viral on social media An American tourist thinks he's found 'the best ice cream in the UK' after visiting a seaside town. Nathan Leazer, a musician and content creator, has been documenting his travels on TikTok as @nathanleazermusic. In a recent video, he visited Broadstairs, a seaside town on the Kent coast, and reviewed Morelli's Gelato. The ice cream parlour first opened in Broadstairs in 1932, and Nathan loved visiting the historic parlour, which overlooks the picturesque Viking Bay. Nathan told his followers: "You know what I love about England? "I'm here in a place called Broadstairs, and I'm about to go have the best ice cream in the UK from a place called Morelli's.

Edinburgh fringe with the family: five shows for kids
Assembly Rooms, 10.10am, until 24 AugustThe old man who sits at the centre of this imaginative blend of object theatre and shadow puppetry from Taiwan's S Production is the cantankerous sort, tied to his routine and resistant to change. His day is an uneventful parade of tasks: teeth brushing, newspaper reading and failing to put his socks on. It is much to his surprise that he wakes to find the room tidy and his secret box of memories moved. And it is much to his consternation that a boy appears from another box, unruly, undomesticated and curious. It is that very curiosity that unlocks the old man's backstory and rejuvenates him. Inside the secret box, the boy finds evidence of a perilous biplane crash over wartime seas and a drowning pilot rescued by a whale. By my reckoning that would make the old man about 125 years old, which would also account for the old-fashioned Boy's Own Adventure focus of the show. It is easy to put that aside, however, when mischievous humour and visual inventiveness abounds, whether it is paper planes floating overhead, deathly waves inundating the stage or the enormous blue whale swelling to the full height of the walls around us. Pleasance Courtyard, 10am and 11am, until 25 AugustI usually take the post-show play session as my cue to leave, but this one is delightful. We have just watched Tamsin Fessey perform a hypnotic dance, aimed at 6-24-month-olds, from inside a colourful tube. Hidden within, she rolls and stretches, giving life to this wriggly creature and making a face of the orange hoop at one end. Tuning in to the priorities of the young audience, she is variously shy, inquisitive, hungry and sick. She dances when the music demands it and sighs when it stops. She plays games with the springy containers around her and discovers enticing silvery balls inside. This toooB seems to have a life of her own until, slowly in this wordless production by Angel Exit, attractively designed by Verity Quinn, we spot the performer within: a foot, a hand, a cautious eye. And with her emergence, it is time for the audience to join in: new balls and tubes appearing around us to create an infant adventure playground, full of tactile wonder. Pleasance Courtyard, 12pm, until 24 AugustIt sounds like a joke. Take a famously impenetrable classic of world literature, a stream-of-consciousness Dublin odyssey stretching to 250,000 words, and turn it into a show for the over-eights. But Helen Gregg is for real and her adaptation of James Joyce's Ulysses is a joy. Introducing a book that few of the adults in the audience will have read, she strips it down to its narrative framework, judiciously editing for family viewing, and turns it into 45 minutes of day-in-the-life storytelling. Leafing through enormous pop-up books – three of them, just like the sections of the original – she traces the comings and goings of a cut-out Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus, flanked by a city's worth of quirky characters, from funeral to office to pub. In Marc Mac Lochlainn's production for Galway company Branar, it is performed with wit and lucidity, not to mention musical interludes. Gregg is a brilliant interpreter and makes an imposing novel sound like a fun thing to tackle at home. Assembly George Square, 11.30am, until 17 AugustHard to imagine a more gentle introduction to theatre than this sensory performance for babies, written by Jasmine Cole and directed by Connie Crosby. Narrated by Hannah Platts and performed on a large floorcloth over which the audience can roam, it is set in a garden where the leaves are tactile, the mushrooms rattle and the pond is made of silver foil. A bee buzzes by as the children acclimatise, then it is time for the big reveal: a sequence of cloth puppet birds, manipulated by Jennie Rawling, introduced with birdsong and welcomed with a pretty human song. Things get no more dramatic than when the starling imitates a cow and a tractor and, as the lights dim, a night owl soars overhead with stars shining through its wings. The stakes might be low, but is pitched perfectly at a mesmerised audience. Assembly Roxy, 11.25am, until 17 AugustFeather Boy and Tentacle Girl are opposites. One lives in the city; one in the country. One is rough; the other smooth. One sunny; one sour. But although theirs is a relationship of contradictions, they find a way to connect. They do this through the mutual dependency of acrobatics, balancing high above the stage, moving in careful synchronisation. In this aerial show for the over-eights by circus artists Vee Smith and Sadiq Ali working with Catherine Wheels theatre company, it is as if the two have been let loose in an outsize play park, mocking gravity as they hang upside down, spin precariously or plummet to the ocean depths. Narratively light and open to interpretation, it reaches a climax with a spectacular storm of red and white feathers on Jen McGinley's set, swirling in windy chaos.
