WINNING TEAM: Tracey Campbell, of Aston Hotel, and Susan Archer, of Archer's Jersey Ice Cream enjoy some of the products

TWO Darlington businesses have gone into partnership to put an award-winning ice-cream on the menu.

Archer's Jersey Ice Cream has teamed up with Aston Hotel, located near Coatham Mundeville, to add its speciality to the menu in the hotel's brasserie and bar 59.

The ice-cream is made at New Moor Farm, Walworth, near Darlinton, which is run by John and Susan Archer.

They started the ice-cream business after their farm was hit by foot-and-mouth disease in 2001.

They had to cull their herd and received a £25,000 grant to convert the farm into an ice-cream parlour.

They have 350 Jersey cows, established in 2002 from three herds.

Mrs Archer said: "It is great that two local businesses can work together like this.

"We are very proud of our icecream and are delighted that Aston Hotel, Darlington, is so committed to sourcing local produce and supporting environmentally sustainable farming."

Tracey Campbell, general manager of Aston Hotel, Darlington, said: "We use Archers Ice Cream because we want to be able to give our customers the very best local produce.

"At Aston Hotel, we believe that where food comes from, how animals are looked after and the quality of ingredients really matters - and of course the flavours taste fantastic."

Archer's make a range of ice-cream flavours, and ice-cream cakes.
