Sorry for any inconvenience — we’ll be back open as normal afterwards, ready with all the donuts, homemade ice cream and sweet treats you know and love. 🍦💕

Thanks for understanding! x

☀️ Just a little reminder that the school holidays are nearly over…

Yes. We know. Horrible news. 😂

Soon it’ll be back to packed lunches, PE kits you forgot existed and trying to get children out the door while they suddenly decide they need the toilet. 🤦‍♀️

So we suggest making the most of the Bank Holiday weekend while you still can.

We’ve got hot donuts, homemade ice cream, sorbets, slush, milkshakes and enough sugar to temporarily forget the school run exists. 😂🍩🍦

And we’re open until 10pm all weekend!

Come treat yourselves. You’re going to need the strength. 👀🤣

☀️🥵 A little hot weather reminder from us! 🥵☀️

We’re working flat out in this heat to keep everyone supplied with cold drinks, ice cream, donuts and all the good stuff — usually while standing next to machines that seem determined to cook us alive. 😂🔥

When it’s busy, there may be a wait. We promise we’re not standing around admiring the scenery — we’re going as fast as we safely can!

So please be kind, be patient and treat our staff with respect. ❤️

A bit of banter? Absolutely. 😂
A little wait for your milkshake? It happens.
Shouting, aggression or abuse towards our staff? Absolutely not. ✋

And just a friendly warning… the boss lady is 6 months pregnant, hormonal, hot and tired — do you REALLY want to be the one who tests her patience? 👀😂🔥

Abuse of any kind will not be tolerated.

Thank you to the huge majority of you who are lovely, patient and understanding — we really do appreciate you. ❤️

And if you think you’re hot waiting for your ice cream… come stand next to the donut fryer for ten minutes. 😂🍩🔥

Everyone else: “Make sure you’ve got proper eclipse glasses.” 🌒😎

Arthur: “I’ve got a bit of welding mask in the van.” 🤦‍♀️😂

Nothing says prepared for a once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event quite like raiding the toolbox 5 minutes beforehand. 👏🤣

🌒🍩 THE SUN’S DOING A DISAPPEARING ACT TONIGHT… 🍦☀️

There’s a partial solar eclipse across the UK this evening — and quite frankly, staring at the sky is always better with fresh hot donuts and homemade ice cream. 🍦 🍩

So grab the family, grab your eclipse glasses, then most importantly… grab the snacks! 😎

🍩 Fresh hot donuts
🍦 Our own homemade ice cream & sorbets
🥤 Slush & milkshakes

Because solar eclipses are rare… but an excuse for donuts is an excuse for donuts. 🤷‍♀️😂

📍 The Donut Hut – Chine Avenue

⚠️ And unlike Arthur, please don’t stare directly at the sun. Use proper eclipse glasses. 😂🌒

🎡 Shanklin Illuminated Carnival tonight! ✨

We’ve spent the day getting everything ready…

🍩 Donuts — READY
🍭 Candy floss — READY
🥤 Slush — READY
🍦 Homemade ice cream — currently being protected from Arthur 😂

Seriously, the bloke makes it and then seems determined to eat all the profits. 👊🤣

Come grab your carnival treats, enjoy the atmosphere from a brilliant spot for the action, and try some of the ice cream we’re now making ourselves!

🕙 Here until 10pm tonight!

🍋 Our homemade Lemon Sorbet is becoming a bit of a firm favourite! 😍

Although SOMEONE clearly thinks being married to the boss means unlimited free samples… 👀😂

I hadn’t even finished decorating it before Arthur had taken a bloody scoop out of it. 👊🤣
At this rate I’m going to start docking it from his wages.

Fresh, zingy, refreshing and unfortunately husband tested before it even reaches the cabinet. 🤦‍♀️🍋

🚨 Stop the press… she’s actually working! 🚨

Usually it’s Arthur behind the candy floss machine… but today the wife has decided to pull her weight! 😂🍭

She’s been making fresh candy floss all day, ready for Shanklin Carnival!

💙 Blue Raspberry
💖 Pink Vanilla
💷 £3 each or 2 for £5

Come and grab a proper carnival classic while stocks last! 🎡✨

🎭 Quick reminder…

Walking around the carnival with empty hands is a rookie mistake.

One hand should have hot donuts.

The other should have homemade ice cream.

Problem solved. 😎🍩🍦

Open until 10pm tonight!
