We hired the milking parlour to come with their trailer to our wedding reception and they did not disappoint! We had a special tasting day where they let us come try and choose a selection of flavours for our guests (the best day of wedding planning ever!!) and it was so much fun! The staff were so helpful throughout the whole process. We also were allowed to create our own personalised wafers which was such a lovely touch! All the guests loved when they arrived at the wedding and it was a hit with everyone! Best gelato ever! Thankyou so much!
I’ve been here several times for ice cream and it never disappoints! The chocolate and ginger flavour is my favourite. Portions are generous and there’s always a variety of flavours. I also recently ordered a voucher for someone for Christmas and the voucher was sent the next day. Thank you!
Lovely old ice cream shop just off the square in Kirby Lonsdale. The shop offered about 20 flavours of ice cream the dark chocolate and ginger was amazing. The waffle cones were very brittle and disintrigate easily. Will go back to try other flavours ( get a tub next time).
Excellent! Probably the best ice cream I’ve had in the UK. Well worth a visit! Lots of options of flavours. The wafer cones are also excellent quality and it’s a nice touch you can add Belgian chocolate to the inside of the cone. Blackberry ice cream 👌
The last few times I visited here 6 years ago I would have given 5 stars for the best icecream in the country, a great selection of flavours and great service. Unfortunately this time the icecream was average, selection limited and service was unfriendly and poor. Very disappointing and won't be returning.
