About Archers Ice Cream
Archers Ice Cream is an ice cream shop in Darlington, open daily and based at New Moor Farm. The ice cream is made on the farm from the milk of its own free range herd, and the flavours cover a wide range, with Malteser ice cream and ice cream cake among the choices. Freshly made scones come with jam and cream, and the menu also includes cakes, other drinks and Fairtrade coffee. Families can let children use the play area, which includes a little zip wire, while adults stay on the farm. The site is a working farm, with animals, free range chickens and a barn to see on a visit.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers come mainly for the homemade ice cream, made from the farm's free range herd's milk, and praise the wide choice of flavours, with the Malteser flavour and an ice cream cake named specifically. Close behind are the freshly made scones with jam and cream, plus the coffee and cakes. The play area, with a little zip wire, and the open fields draw families, and several mention outdoor seating, the farm animals and free range chickens wandering about. Reviewers describe the service as friendly and lovely. The caveats are small: one reviewer found the ice cream not the cheapest, another noted the grass and stone parking could get muddy in rain, and one who loved the ice cream cake took a point off because it came in a basic cake box, which made for a nervous 30 minute drive home. Several mention stopping in while passing or staying at Walworth Castle, and one reviewer returns whenever the sun comes out.

“Excellent place, I’ve was lovely I have the Malteser icecream & an ice cream cake (which was amazing). Mark down one point for the icecream cake being boxed up in a basic cake box had a nervous 30 minute drive home. Would have been 5 stars if it was boxed more appropriately (would have paid a little extra if that was even an option).”

“As soon as there's any sun in our area, we always make the effort to come to Archer's. The food and service is always fantastic, and if you catch the right time of day, you can meet the animals that wander about or are in the barn.”
