My family and I were staying at the Hilton in Strathclyde in July 2008 and a man there in the leisure suite recommended this cafe/ice cream parlour to us. We went and thoroughly enjoyed it-from the fish and chips to the fantastic ice creams to the service it was all just perfect. We went back last week on a daytrip and the staff were making new ice creams for photos for their new menu and we got to eat them free! How fantastic is that! My husband and I shared a knickerbocker glory and the kids shared a banana split - then the kids got to take the ice creams away that they would have had on the kids menu! Absoultely brilliant place and well recommended by us. I am craving another one of their fantastic ice creams as I write this!]]> Sun, 12 Oct 2008 16:20:40 +0000 /review/uk/hamilton/restaurant/1e1128s/peter-equi-and-sons/191pj884217993 nikim 55.777459536666 -4.0550867266326 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/hamilton/restaurant/1e1128s/peter-equi-and-sons/1a6iw8

I was introduced to this place by a friend when I signed up to attend Bell College. After visiting the place once and tasting their ice cream - I was in love. They have so many different flavours - I think Turkish Delight has got to be my personal favourite! I don't really rate the cafe / restaurant and found that the few times that I've sat in and eaten that the length of time to bring your food is long considering the type of food they serve i.e. fish and chips. The waitresses can also be quite rude. Get a take away ice cream on a nice hot day and you're in heaven!]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 21:02:02 +0000 /review/uk/hamilton/restaurant/1e1128s/peter-equi-and-sons/1a6iw8302423806 Meringue 55.777459536666 -4.0550867266326 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/hamilton/restaurant/1e1128s/peter-equi-and-sons/1289m7

Equi's make,s without a doubt, THE best ice cream. Simple as that. However, a while back I took my kids out to Equi's for a sit-in ice cream treat. There were plenty of empty tables.... I'd estimate the place wasn't even half full. We had a look at the ice cream menu and my kids excitedly pointed out what they wanted. The waitress came over to ask what we wanted, then snapped "We don't sell ice cream on a Saturday evening. The seated area is for meals only." okaaaaay, but the pace was only half full, and there were no signs alerting customers to the "meals only" rule..... what would have been the problem with serving 3 ice cream sundaes? I emailed the place and got the reply that the cafe (it isn't a restaurant) only serves meals on a Saturday. No apology about the kids being disappointed.

So they have lost my family's custom.

Great ice cream. Passable fish n chips.

Wouldn't go near the place again though. Glorified chippy with seats. Obnoxious, curt staffand ZERO customer care in my opinion. ]]> Fri, 23 May 2008 17:40:33 +0000 /review/uk/hamilton/restaurant/1e1128s/peter-equi-and-sons/1289m71590897632 sinky1965 55.777459536666 -4.0550867266326 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/hamilton/restaurant/1e1128s/peter-equi-and-sons/1i53f8

Peter Equi's is or was just an ice cream parlour but is now a fish & chip shop that sells ice cream. I'm not a fan of fish and chips but the ice cream is excellent. There are loads of different flavours and I've tried them all! Could have something to do with my weight problem&
Apparently during the 2nd World War, Mr Equi would buy ingredients from the locals through their ration books to produce his ice cream. Mr Equi would constantly be fined by the authorities but such was the demand, the fine costs were negated.
If your passing, pop in and have some, even if it's raining and it will be because it's always raining at the Peacock Cross, the wettest place outside Dumbartonshire.
Enjoy, I do.
