Quick info
About The Milk Churn
The Milk Churn is an ice cream shop in Leeds, set on Beech Grove Farm, a working farm with sheep in the front pasture. The gelato is made with milk from the farm's own dairy cows. Flavours rotate, and fruity sorbetto options sit alongside the creamier scoops, with Blackberry Gelato on a menu of seven items. For lunch, the kitchen serves soup, toasties and paninis, including a Mushroom Soup, and a Flat White is on the coffee list. Dogs are welcome. The shop looks out over the surrounding countryside.

Customer Review Summary
Gelato is the draw most reviewers return to, made with milk from the farm's own dairy cows and served in a wide, rotating range of flavours. Matcha and pecan maple get singled out, along with apple pie, pistachio and Turkish delight, and one reviewer favours the fruity sorbettos and notes scoops are usually large. Lunch comes up close behind, including a Brie, cranberry and bacon panini with a side salad and coleslaw, a good soup and a toastie, with portions described as great. The play area for children and the countryside setting, with sheep in the front pasture, are also mentioned repeatedly, and the staff are called friendly and polite. Criticisms are small. One reviewer would have preferred a soup spoon to a dessert spoon, another wanted more cheese in the toastie, and a third found a chunk of dried food stuck on a fork. One visitor finished lunch, then came back for gelato.

“My family and I stopped in after a beautiful walk in the countryside. The sheep in the front pasture were exactly what I have been looking for. Sheep with black faces. We walked down the path and into the gated area with picnic tables and a play area for the kiddos. We had lunch and coffee. I got a latte and the Brie and cranberry with bacon panini with a side salad and coleslaw. It was very good. I left feeling satisfied not overly full. We left and came back for gelatos. It was very delicious. The staff is friendly and the ambiance is so relaxing. I would love to visit again.”

“Good soup, yet would have preferred to use a soup spoon rather than a dessert spoon. Toastie good yet needed a bit more cheese for me. Staff pleasant. Lovely views”

“We ate a delicious lunch and then sampled their gelato, made with milk from their own dairy cows. Oh my word, it tastes amazing! Everything was served by friendly, polite and helpful staff.”
