Would ewe like some ice-cream?
A Staffordshire dairy is celebrating another sizzling summer - with the recent warm weather leaving bosses struggling to cope with demand.
Bosses at Red Lion Farm - with makes a range of ice cream including Champagne and Eton mess - said that business is through the roof this year.
Graham Hollinshead, who runs the farm in Haughton, near Stafford, with his parents and sister, said: "It's been very successful. It's been a bit too successful.
"It's been one of our busiest years so far. We're really going from strength to strength."
To complement the 130 flavours they sell from their tea room, staff have added another seven to their selection.
They include Champagne and peach, Jaffa cake, roly poly, rhubarb and custard, Eton mess, elderflower and 'Kimberry' – a mix of Vimto and five berries.
But flavours are selling out so quickly that they can change on an hour-by-hour basis.
Mr Hollinshead said: "We launched them all a few weeks ago, and they've gone down really well.
"We swap our flavours on a daily basis, but sometimes they go so quickly that we run out within an hour.
"You get people calling up to find out the flavours, but then when they arrive it's all changed.
"It has been one of our most successful summers. We're rapidly outgrowing our current tearoom."
Expansion plans have been submitted, and the team hopes it will be able to open a much larger premises next year.
It will offer a larger seating area and a larger serving space, which just means there's room for more flavours.
"We're already scratching our heads on that one," Mr Hollinshead said.
As another new first for the farm, it has opened its owl sanctuary for the first time, showing a variety of birds of prey to the public. They have also brought in a new batch of chickens.
