In this episode of The Independent Resistance, Filipe visits the iconic Morelli’s in Broadstairs — a seaside ice cream parlour steeped in history, flavour, and family legacy.
Joined by Bibi Morelli, great-granddaughter of the original founder, the conversation uncovers the remarkable journey from the mountains of Italy to the Kent coast, and how one family’s dedication to quality and community built a business that’s lasted for over a century.
From handmade ice cream and retro décor to global ingredients and local roots, this is a rich, heartfelt portrait of a business that’s never compromised on what matters. Expect stories of resilience, craft, and the simple joy of a really, really good sundae.
