Watch out ice cream: Frozen yoghurt maestros Sloane Brothers launch first site outside of London
City summer staple Sloane Brothers Frozen Yoghurt is taking the battle against ice cream a step further with the opening of its first parlour outside of London.
The Brick Lane-based froyo makers have opened their second site in Nottingham's Intu Victoria Centre.
Sloane Bros focuses its frozen yoghurt toppings on classic British biscuits and desserts, and sources all its ingredients from small, independent British producers.

However, Sloane Bros also said branching out of the capital doesn't preclude it from opening more sites in London in future.
According to Mintel, value sales of frozen yoghurt increased by 117 per cent between 2011 and 2014, though it has failed to take the UK and Europe by storm in the way it has excelled in the US.
