About Great Budworth Real Dairy Ice Cream Farm
Great Budworth Real Dairy Ice Cream Farm is an ice cream shop on Heath Ln in Northwich, making its ice cream on site from the milk of its own cows. The shop stocks a large selection of ice cream and sorbet flavours, and a tearoom serves coffee, cake, snacks and waffles. The farm gives children plenty to do beyond the counter. A sunflower maze has clues to find and prizes at the end, and a petting area is home to goats and a donkey, with animal feed sold in the shop. A small play area has slides. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the ice cream itself, with the home-made flavours described as delicious and the prices as reasonable. Close behind come the animals and children's extras: a petting area with goats and a donkey, feed sold in the shop, a small play area and a sunflower maze that one family spent about an hour on, with a pleasant choice of prizes at the end. The waffles and coffee also get a mention, and staff are repeatedly called lovely, with parking described as ample. The caveat is flavour. One reviewer found a salted caramel chocolate chip tasted like vanilla with chocolate chips, another said apricot tasted like vanilla with pieces of ice, and a third found the cafe food ok but nothing special. The play area was called two plastic slides, and only two small cone choices were offered. One reviewer who tried several flavours from friends said all of them tasted the same.

“Called in on the off chance while we were nearby, after Google highlighted this place when I was looking for ice cream — and what a fantastic find! The place is spotlessly clean, the staff are lovely, and the prices are incredibly reasonable considering the fantastic range of luxury dairy ice creams, all made right there using milk from their own cows. And the ice cream is absolutely delicious! 🍦 There’s ample parking, plus a lovely little petting area with goats, a donkey and chickens, making it a great place for families. There’s also an enclosed playground for the kids and even a sunflower maze to explore. 🌻 A fantastic little place with something for everyone. I genuinely can’t fault it and guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended! 👌🍦”

“Great place to come for a coffee,ice-cream and snacks. Reasonable price's too,and there's a play area for the kids and across the road are goats and a donkey. You can buy feed for them in the shop.”

“I would describe this place as a farm with a cafe that also sells ice cream. It is definitely geared more towards younger kids. Popped in over the May bank holiday weekend, having not been before and had high hopes for something good on such a hot day. There is a very large selection of ice cream and sorbet flavours. Somewhat disappointingly, there are only two cone choices, and both are quite small. We had a salted caramel chocolate chip and a rum and raisin - both in the more expensive sugar cone. They were "OK" if honest. Had I been given as a blind taste test, I would say the salted caramel was simply vanilla with chocolate chip. Difficult to judge on a single visit, maybe other flavours were better. Staff were absolutely lovely, the place was busy and there is ample parking. The animals were definitely attracting the kids. Just don't expect to be blown away with amazing ice cream.”

“The food in the cafe was ok, but nothing special. The children play area was basically two plastic outdoor slides. The service was excellent, and we won’t be back. Outdoors, they had a three (approx) goats and a donkey to pet and feed. We had hoped for a bit more like other farms in Cheshire.”

“Ice cream with no flavour. Ordered apricot, tasted like vanilla with pieces of ice. Tried few more flavours from my friends and all of them tasted same. Nice farm but wouldn’t come back for ice cream.”
