At Hastings Hotels, we are passionate about showcasing the very best local produce, and our partnership with Muine Glas Ice Cream is a perfect example of this commitment. Crafted in Northern Ireland using high-quality local ingredients, Muine Glas has quickly become renowned for its rich flavours, artisan approach, and dedication to creating exceptional ice cream experiences.
As a family-run business, Muine Glas shares many of the values that are at the heart of Hastings Hotels. Their focus on quality, craftsmanship, and supporting local suppliers aligns perfectly with our own commitment to delivering memorable experiences for our guests. By working with local producers like Muine Glas, we can celebrate the outstanding food and drink available across Northern Ireland while supporting businesses that are deeply connected to their communities.
Produced using carefully selected ingredients and a passion for innovation, Muine Glas offers a range of indulgent flavours that combine traditional favourites with contemporary creations. Their dedication to quality is evident in every scoop, ensuring that our guests can enjoy a premium dessert experience whether dining in our restaurants, attending an event, or celebrating a special occasion.
Ice cream remains a timeless favourite for guests of all ages, and this month we are delighted to showcase Muine Glas Ice Cream through our signature dish, the County Armagh Strawberry Baked Alaska Sundae, created by Ross McCallister from the Culloden Estate & Spa.
Inspired by one of summer’s most iconic flavour pairings, the dessert celebrates the exceptional quality of locally grown County Armagh strawberries. Long associated with the Wimbledon Championships, where strawberries have become a much-loved tradition enjoyed by spectators for over a century, the fruit perfectly captures the essence of the season. Combined with the creamy richness of Muine Glas Ice Cream, the Baked Alaska Sundae delivers a fresh and indulgent dessert that highlights the very best of Northern Ireland’s local produce and culinary talent.
Partnerships such as this allow us to continue investing in local suppliers while offering guests an authentic taste of Northern Ireland. We are proud to work alongside producers who share our passion for quality and who are committed to creating products that reflect the richness of our local food heritage.
Together with Muine Glas Ice Cream, Hastings Hotels continues to champion local excellence, celebrate Northern Irish craftsmanship, and create memorable dining experiences for our guests. It’s a partnership built on shared values, exceptional quality, and a genuine love of great food.
