Hosts who specifically want cones
If each guest should receive a cone rather than a scoop from a shared tub, Cornetto Classico comes in individual cone portions. Check whether the pack size and portion size suit your guest list.
Who is this for?
Hosts serving guests with dietary restrictions
The exact product matters: Cornetto Classico contains milk, wheat and hazelnuts; the listed Magnum Classic stick contains milk and may contain nuts; and Feast Classic contains milk, wheat and soya. Check current packaging against guests’ requirements.
Hosts deciding between a cone and a stick
A wafer cone, a vanilla-and-chocolate stick and a chocolate-centred stick offer different formats and ingredients. Decide whether “single bar” means any individual frozen treat or whether guests are expecting cones.
What should you check?
Settle the cone-or-stick question first, then check the exact pack for portions, allergens and storage instructions.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Check whether the product is a cone or stick and count the portions per pack. Cornetto Classico is listed as a single 120ml foodservice cone and as a retail pack of six 90ml cones; the listed Magnum Classic pack has three 100ml sticks. | I want each guest to take one treat without scooping. If the invitation promises cones, an individually wrapped stick will not meet that expectation. |
| Allergens | Read the current ingredients and precautionary allergen statements for the exact variant. Cornetto Classico lists milk, wheat and hazelnuts; the listed gluten-free Magnum Classic contains milk and may contain almond and pistachio; Feast Classic contains milk, wheat and soya. | Guests may have different restrictions, so I need to check each product rather than assume that a gluten-free stick is suitable for everyone. |
| Frozen storage | Plan freezer space and check the pack instructions. The listed Cornetto product specifies −18°C or below and no refreezing once thawed; the Magnum listing specifies −18°C and the same no-refreezing instruction. The Feast foodservice listing specifies −18°C storage. | I need to keep the treats frozen between delivery or collection and serving, rather than leave them out throughout the coffee morning. |
| Treat style | Compare the stated components: Cornetto Classico has a wafer cone, vanilla-flavour ice cream, a chocolate-flavour layer and hazelnuts; Magnum Classic pairs vanilla ice cream with milk chocolate; Feast Classic has chocolate-flavour ice cream, a chocolate-flavour centre and a biscuit-piece coating. | Would my guests prefer a cone with wafer texture, a vanilla-and-chocolate stick, or a chocolate-centred stick? The latter two are options only if cones are not essential. |
What could go wrong?
-
Treating every individual ice cream as a cone
Magnum Classic and Feast Classic are sticks. Either can provide an individual portion, but neither fulfils a request for cones.
Clarify what guests expect before choosing a format; check the product name and image on the exact pack.
-
Assuming gluten-free means free from other allergens
The listed Magnum Classic stick is labelled gluten-free, but contains milk and may contain almond and pistachio. Cornetto Classico and Feast Classic have different listed allergens.
Ask about guests’ requirements and check the current packaging for every product you intend to serve.
-
Leaving frozen storage until the day
The listed products require frozen storage. The Cornetto and Magnum listings also say not to refreeze them once thawed.
Make room in the freezer before delivery or collection, and follow the storage and thawing instructions on each pack.

Questions before serving
Can each guest have a separate Cornetto Classico cone?
Yes. Cornetto Classico is documented as a single 120ml foodservice cone and as a retail pack of six individual 90ml cones. Check which format you are buying, count portions against guests and keep the cones frozen until serving.
Is Cornetto Classico suitable for guests avoiding wheat or hazelnuts?
The documented Cornetto Classico products contain wheat and hazelnuts, as well as milk, so they do not meet those restrictions. Check the current packaging for the exact product and its full allergen information before serving.
Can Magnum Classic replace a cone for a guest seeking a gluten-free option?
The listed Magnum Classic stick is labelled gluten-free and can be an alternative if a stick is acceptable, but it is not a cone. It contains milk and may contain almond and pistachio, so check the exact pack against that guest’s other requirements.
How should I store the treats before the coffee morning?
Keep them frozen according to their packs and plan freezer space before they arrive. The listed Cornetto and Magnum products specify storage at −18°C or below or at −18°C, respectively, and say not to refreeze once thawed; the documented Feast Classic product specifies −18°C storage.
