Backford Belles in Cheshire West and Chester

I get ice cream here almost everyday when it’s open that’s how good it is!

A somewhat decent little ice cream spot. Some of the flavours were a little tasteless especially the raspberry ripple. You could tell the young staff members really care about the job but seemed a little undertrained, while the manager is stood off to the side just watching.

Excellent ice cream and good spot for the kids with their own little playground and pinic area

Another perfect visit, please bring back cookie dough 😉

We visited on an afternoon with our grandson. It is obviously there for you to get ice cream which was lovely - I had a mint chocolate cone which I thoroughly enjoyed. More importantly for us they do an ice cream for our dairy intolerant grandchild which he loved and made him feel that he was just like us! We had a wander around and he loved the ducks, hens , calves and the guinea pigs. There is also a play area with picnic seating. He had a ball and tried everything. There is free car parking. A lovely place to while away 90 minutes. We will return again.

The best ice cream and coffee, super friendly service. Fabulous place to take children to enjoy a lovely outdoor experiene on a real farm. Well worth a visit

Great little gem. Ice cream was great. Big queue but very efficient. Young calves very cute.

Great place to take the kids. Ice cream is awesome and there's a small player area. Staff are friendly too Way better than the Cheshire ice cream farm, this is a proper family farm

Lovely play area for kids and really good ice cream!

Tasty ice creams. Great outdoor play area for kids.

Very nice ice cream and a good place for the kids to play.

Gorgeous ice cream lovely little park x

Considering I live a 2 minute drive and a 15 minute walk from here I have never been up until now. It is a quaint little farmstead with some amazing flavours of ice-cream at reasonable prices in my eyes. There is a little play area for kids to play on and parking near the shop for disabled patrons. Toilets are accessible with a baby change station as well. Don't get me wrong. You can't spend all day there but with kids old enough you could kill a few hours easily. Will definitely be going back again and getting a large take away tub for sure.

Great flavours, friendly service and not too expensive compared to other ice cream farms in the area

Fantastic ice-cream and nice playpark

Lovely treat and lovely staff, lovely surroundings.

Lovely little place, feels quite secret as it's never too busy. Play area is good, and the ice cream is lovely- they have two vegan options. It's always lovely to see the animals.

Fabulous place, gorgeous ice cream :) can get busy but worth the effort

Reasonably priced day out for little ones. Nice ice cream & simple play park.

Lovely place to go, we each had an icecream and the two littlens had a play on the park. Car pack is free, so a cheap place to enjoy a couple of hours fresh air.

Every flavour is delicious and thw staff are waya so welcoming.

Amazing Ice cream 🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨🍨 Good variety

Really nice icecream, nice little park for kids to play in too. Great for a stop off one the way home from Chester zoo.

Best ice-cream in the area 100% recommend

Tasty ice cream with young child-friendly park and good parking. My only request is being able to see the animals that supply the milk for the ice cream!

Awesome ice cream! thought the ice cream farm was good amazing to find such tasty ice cream on your door step at such a reasonable price

Ice creams so delicious yum yum little playground for kids and animals to feed rabbits and cows :)

I was so impressed with this place. Small but it really was a lovely afternoon. The animals were a bonus as well as a lovely play park. There is A very nice courtyard area where you can sit with your ice cream. Obviously a working farm but a great idea to combine the two. I would highly recommend a visit here with kids it's free and feels like a day out. The ice cream was delicious too

Great little place to soend a couple of hours with the kids. Small animsls, play area and climbing frames. Grest tasting ice cream and a reasonable price.

Glad of the basic-ness of this place. Would be good to have a closer interaction with cows buy other than that don't change and become all commercialised like other local ice cream places and ruin things

Excellent ice cream, and good play park for kid's.

Delicious flavours. Reasonable price.

Lovely chocolate ice cream and the boys loved the vanilla special.

First visit - we shall be returning

The ice cream is amazing and the kids play area is very good. The "animals" part is a little disappointing, ducks, geese and chickens mainly, but still good for little ones!

Lovely ice cream, lovely service and nice little place

Very cherry ice cream was delish ... wanted more but unfortunately u closed at 5

Very good ice-cream. Well worth a try.

Lovely ice cream and very covid secure with buying at a window and collecting at the next window, also does click and collect. For children there is a play area and a small animal area and plenty of picnic benches if you wanted to spend more time here

lovely little place of you want a cheap and cheerful few hours out. Great selection of ice cream, snacks and drinks. Play area for younger kids and toddlers, few animals to look at. Staff are lovely and friendly.... Plenty of benches to sit at. Only negative which cant be helped as its the warm weather attracting the wasps. There were loads of them, all dive bombing the ice creams. Just be prepared for that!!

Lovely place kids loved it very tasty ice-cream

Ice cream was not that good 4 ice creams in the bin

We all had different flavours of their real Jersey ice cream and every one was amazing! Delicious! And very reasonably priced too. Well worth a detour!

If you want a quiet ice cream family with play area, and shaded seating, this is the place, ice cream is delightful. Not many flavours but quality 👌. Free parking, close to Cheshire Oaks. Small play area with rabbits, budgies, hamsters. Great for a few hours

What a lovely little place. We were looking for ice cream after a hot day at the zoo and your ice cream hit the spot ! Delicious ice creams

Ice cream is nice ,little play area for kids and a few animals to see , could spend an hour or so there

Excellent ice cream & great little park for kids to play in. Nice touch with the little animals kids can look at too.

Great ice-cream! Will be going back for more.

What a lovely place - little play park for the kids, loads of seating - ice cream was amazing- we had a sour cherry and a chocolate. Given I’ve lived in Chester for over 16 years this was our first visit. Good value ice cream, close to the zoo, can’t wait to go back.

Great ice-cream here. Vegan options Nice little play area for the kiddies, little animal area too. Nice little day out if you haven't got all day.

Lovely ice cream in a fantastic setting

Really.cute little farm, with covid its not all open yet but if you live close worth a visit. Icecream is amazing!!!!

Brilliant outdoor space for the kids and the Ice creams are delicious!

Lovely little place. Far better than the over commercialised farm near Tattenhall. Ice cream was excellent.

Gorgeous ice creams, lots of picnic tables and a little playground for kiddies. Straightforward, honest little farm business. Love it.

Lovely ice cream in a nice and covid safe environment

Free to go, all they ask is that you buy an ice cream or a drink! There are a few animals at the farm which a nice clean play area. Ice cream tastes great and the staff are really friendly and welcoming.

Covid guidelines still being taken seriously! The new/additional seating and cover is an excellent addition. Friendly and efficient service; and last, but not least, absolutely DELICIOUS ice cream. The Belgian chocolate ice cream is second to none........... Plenty of parking, including disabled spaces. Play area and plenty of space for children to run around safely.

Great place for ice cream and vegan sorbet after you’ve visited Chester Zoo or been to Helsby/Frodsham. Little play area, free toilets, picnic benches. Never took a photo of the ice cream as it got devoured!

Amazing Jersey Icecream, wild cherry is fantastic!

Lovely ice-cream and great little play area for the kids

Can not believe it's practically on my door step and we've never been! What a lovely little place with the most beautiful ice cream and amazing flavours. I had an orange marmalade and wild cherry in a pot, they were both divine. Our girls loved the play area and animals, it's dog friendly and covid safe. Can't wait to come back and bring a picnic oh and TELL EVERYONE!! Thank you, keep up the great work!

Gorgeous little location in the sun for a tranquil ice-cream and coffee with kiddo's. Little play area with some animals 😌

Delicious ice-cream and excellent customer service

Superb ice creams, childrens' play area and pets Corner.

This was my first visit, beautiful hot sunny day, just nice to sit and chill with a delicious ice cream

Great place to enjoy fantastic ice-cream on a hot day.

Lovely ice cream as ever and able to sit outside away from other people

Really nice ice cream at a sensible price with easy parking good covid rules and good service. As good as it gets.

One of the best farmhouse ice-creams.

Delicious ice cream and always served with a smile!

Still the best ice-cream I've ever had. The Jersey cream makes it.

Gorgeous ice cream. Lovely setting. Covid restrictions in place.

Open space with slide and swings Indoor play area for under 5's Nice cafe with beautiful ice-cream

Glad this great place is open again, there's no bad ice cream just some is better than others and this is definitely better than the others,covid safe what a treat,will be back rain or shine.

Great service and excellent customer service. Good flavour choice for the ice cream. Recommended

Got a lovely ice cream and took a short stroll into the farm to see the ducks, chickens, cows and calves. Our two year old enjoyed running up and down to see the animals. Not too busy around 2-3pm this hot Saturday. Nice stop to make even after a zoo trip.

I have used the click and collect option for the first time today, marvellous. Pick your slot time Choose your ice-cream etc Pay and you are good to go!!! Drove into the yard at my allotted time, Mark came out, confirmed the ordered and delivered directly to the car. An excellent service. Even though the parlour is now open from 12.00 until 5.00, I believe that the click and collect option will continue to be available. Superb.

Best icecream for miles, beautiful setting

Fantastic ice cream, lots of parking and somewhere for the children to play

Lovely ice cream and pot of tea!

Excellent place to visit with the kids 😁 icecream is brilliant

Lovely place good in summer play area for children staff very friendly

Good selection of icecreams . Always something new.

Visited with our two young grandchildren over the Christmas period and we really enjoyed our visit. Lovely cosy atmosphere, fairy lights, two little calves to pet, which the children loved, and inside was welcoming, warm and clean. A nice play section for the children and tables and chairs to sit and enjoy the farm-made ice cream which was absolutely delicious. Alongside the everyday flavours there were also Christmas flavours to try. I had a Christmas Pudding ice cream, really lovely. Will certainly be visiting again. Outdoor play area for the warmer summer months.

Went to the Christmas tasting evening, and it was fantastic 😃

Lovely little establishment with a friendly welcome 😄

Called for an ice cream based on the great reviews and it really is very good. Not quite my favourite but delicious nevertheless. Very friendly service but just a small number of seats so if it's busy don't expect a seat

Nice ice cream. If weather is good we like playground

Great ice cream and friendly staff, definitely recommended. Just off the A41 and easy to find and to park.

Love this place. Great for the kids to run around in a safe environment. And then have a little treat of home made ice cream 🤗

Excellent. Great ice-cream! 🍦😉 👍 👏

Good facilities and children's play area

The nicest, chocolate ice cream in the whole wide world........ Staff are always lovely. Excellent value too.

Delicious ice creams. There's a playground for kids as well

A cute small play area with a small selection of animals to see with the children. They have a couple of chickens, a rooster and some ducks on the right hand side as you drive in to the parking area. There are also about three guinea pigs and a few budgies in a big wooden aviary. The children’s play area has a couple of swings, a small sandpit with some play tools on for children to use. The slide is like a rocket so be mindful of your child is not robust 🤣 they wont like the ending. The climbing wall is good and there’s a few picnic benches too. Nearby across the small lane is a cafe with a great selection of ice creams all made by the local family run business. There’s also a small indoor play area for babies and toddlers.

A great little place to kill an hour or two with the kids. Ample parking, play area with the usual swings and slides. Great tasting ice-creams with the option to buy in tubs to take home. Much less stressful than going to the other more well known place further into Cheshire!

We went there for ice cream, it was really nice. Try it if you're passing

I have driven past this place so many times over the years and never visited. Whilst out with my mum she suddenly decided she felt like some Icecream, as we were only about 10 minutes away I thought I'd try it. Only a small place but the icecream was amazing. Mum and I had honey and ginger and it was delicious. I noticed they sold dairy free icecream which would be great for my son. They also had raspberry sorbet. The young lady let us try some and it was lush. They sell tubs to take home of both sorbet and icecream. They had lots of different flavours to normal icecream and have seasonal flavours too. I took some liquorice and blackcurrant (which was lovely) home and some sorbet too. Glad we called and will be back soon.

Absolutely fantastic ice cream. The best in the local area. Lovely little cafe with plenty of outside seating. Children's outside play area. Dog friendly. Highly recommend!!
