Beacon Farm Ice Cream Parlour and Cafe in Scarborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Expensive and flies everywhere behind the counter. Inside the ice cream fridges and crawling all over the coffee machine and cups.

Annual camping trip here didn’t disappoint. Facilities spotless, staff helpful and friendly. Cafe food super and they made us a huge stack of sandwiches for the beach. Very dog friendly with a great walk down to Whitby or a shorter one round the nature trail. Very relaxed and a great kids playground.

Visited Beacon Farm with my wife and our Grandchildren on a lovely sunny August afternoon. First time visit having been coming to the area for many years. Kids had an Ice Cream from the shop whilst me and the wife had coffees. Then they went in the play area whilst I watched campers erecting their tents. Lovely place. Will definitely revisit.

Stopped here after a long sunny day of walking. Large selection of ice cream (as well as milkshakes, sundaes and hot food as well) My wife had a strawberries and cream sundae which was very good. Big, with lots of ice cream, strawberry sauce, strawberries, tiny shortbread pieces, cream and a flake. I got a scoop of the peach and mango ice cream. Very creamy with a lovely peach flavour (Only minor criticism was that it would have been even better if there were pieces of peach in the ice cream) Plenty of parking and they have inside and outside tables. Highly recommend the ice cream here, and we will definitely come back again!

We walked past the stand in Whitby and are glad we did. The ice cream was incredible. So many options and we all had a mixture. None disappointed. All wete so tasty full of flavour. Fantastic. Would recommend!

We spent the weekend here camping and had a fantastic time. The campsite is very tidy and kept clean. Facilities great (play area, cafe, toilrt/shower block, shop and there is a pub next door). Ice cream is lovely and ate breakfast from the cafe which was very nice. 10 min drive into Whitby, so very quiet and surrounded by sunflower fields and woodlands. Dog and child friendly. Camp fires available for hire and staff very friendly and helpful. Our children loved passing the goats each day. Will certainly return in the future.

Fantastic cafe - I think we were in it every day of our 5 night stay! First class English breakfast with great sausages Served quickly and good value we thought for £7.95 inc toast. All breakfast baps were sub £4 which again felt reasonable and drinks also a sensible price. Ice cream selection is extensive- more flavours than I had capacity to try but available in milkshake, waffle, sundae, cone and tub variations there is something for everyone. Oh yes… and a great cake selection The home made scones for the cream tea were delicious

stopped at beacon farm camp site for 4 night, staff are so helpful and friendly. New shower and toilet block are a welcome addition, they are very clean and tidy. Kids playground keeps the kids amused for hours especially if they make new friends! Nice peaceful camp a short distance from whitby and sandsend. cafe food is lovely and well priced and with loads of different icecream flavours to try. would definitely recommend!

Great value campsite with excellent facilities. Stayed 4 nights including over a bank holiday and was very happy. Two fields were very busy with lots of families, I was in the third with my dog in a small tent. Felt like loads of space, lots of showers and toilets so never had to wait. Everything very clean. Highland cows and a lovely nature walk, even two goats near the dish washing room. Very friendly staff and a printout of a walk into Whitby from the site (about 3 miles). Aidan even gave me hints for other walks from the site. Local pub was also friendly (folk music happening the nights I was there). Ice cream was lovely and lunch was also good value.

Lovely creamy ice cream loads of flavours to choose from and some nice farm land to have a mooch. Friendly staff and quite an extensive menu! Worth a pop in if your passing by! Beuno ripple highly recommended!

Was A unexpected trip to the farm, due to having a lorry blowout in the village, but just want to say a massive thank you to the lady who opened up (shop was closed) and made me a cuppa! Next time I'm up this area with my kids will be definitely calling in. Farm looks amazing! Definitely worth calling by if anyone's up in the area! Dan

The ice cream sundaes were amazing. Large pieces of brownie in. Staff friendly. Only slight issue was the menus on the table were sticky so could do with a wipe, not just our table others around were the same.

The most delightful cafe. Fantastic selection of food and cakes. A proper good pot of tea and the breakfast was amazing! Lovely seating area outside to enjoy a leisurely morning or afternoon. Two full freezers of ice creams to choose from with the most delicious flavours. Also a full range of jams, pickles and conserves.

Went for lunch and an afternoon out. Lunch was really good and great value - little touches like a lightly toasted bun for the bacon sandwich. Delicious apple and Stilton scones. Prices very reasonable and the ice cream sundaes (with Hallowe’en theme) were great. Brilliant service from great staff.

3 night stay pitched up on non electric field. Easy to find, 5 minute drive from Whitby. Large pitches with 6 meters between each tent 3 different fields if i can remember around the kids play area which my boy loved. Polite staff, mens and ladies toilets both with showers, disabled toilet and 2 more toilets situated next to the wash room. Cows, goats and a lovely nature sculpture trail through the woods. Not ideal for wheelchairs or pushchairs as there is a steep decline and then incline getting out. Ice cream parlour is lovely with around 24 different flavours. £2.20 each. Also a tea room with seating both in and outdoors. £25 a night, we paid £10 deposit with the balance on arrival, cars can be parked next to tent but time restrictions are in place for noise 11pm - 730pm If I remember rightly. Superb little place, the kids loved it and will definitely be returning.

We stayed for 2 nights, not our first visit and won't be our last. Good points: Friendly, helpful staff. Clean facilities. Ice cream parlour and cafe on site - cooked breakfasts are good value and very tasty. The nature trail is great fun. Downsides: as the site increases in popularity there aren't really enough showers and toilets at busy times, and it's quite a walk (uphill!) from the pitches at the bottom. Another toilet block nearer the bottom field would be nice, as would better charging facilities for phones etc. There is a "dogs on leads" policy which unfortunately is sometimes ignored leading to piles of uncollected dog poo. It's a shame a few irresponsible owners spoil it for everyone.

We stayed for 4 nights in our camper on the hard standing pitches. The view is amazing, the staff are mega helpful and the shower/toilet block is spotless. Each day we walked the ancient Monks trail down into Raswarp, then followed the train track into Whitby. A perfect way to start the day. Back at camp aftera days adventure was always a great experience. The field below was filled with families enjoying BBQ and fires until dusk, then you could hear a pin drop. Amazing place.

Absolutely brilliant site! We was parked near to the park, the kids loved it! all facilities was lovely and clean the goats was well looked after. The nature trail is lovely. Definitely recommend it. Ice cream was the best. I’ll be coming bk soon.

We stayed on the campsite for three nights this week and absolutely loved it! All communal areas were sparkling clean, the staff were wonderful and friendly and the camping areas were free of litter and easy to get around. My only criticism would be to add more toilets as it is quite a walk from the back of the field to the main area. That is only a minor gripe though and we will definitely be back ASAP! We did try out the famous ice cream on every day we stayed and it is delicious! We also sampled the breakfast on our last day and that too was lovely. Really set us up for the drive home! Can’t wait for our next visit!

The ice cream is absolutely delicious here. Would definitely recommend. The cafe also serves coffee, tea, cake etc.

They should stick to what they do best, that's the icescream. The food was awful, greasy sandwiches and anemlc chips. Expensive fast food.

This is the farm that makes the Beacon ice cream and they should be made aware of the prices they are charging for their ice creams in Whitby. An ice cream in a cone with bits and flake cost £6.40 when I visited Whitby on Tuesday 2nd September 2020. I ordered two so it cost £12.80 where do they justify such a high rip off charge it is appalling. People go to Bridlington get a single ice cream with all the trimmings for under £2.00 and better service. Won't be going back to rip off Whitby for a long time.

We visited here with family on holiday and sampled the ice cream, which was superb. Seating area outside to enjoy it was great, and lots of hand sanitiser available with social distancing in the parlour encouraged. Highly recommended!

One of their ice cream vans pulled on to the campsite we were staying at recently. Sent my lad to get me a 99 and get himself a lolly. £4.80, no need to charge that. £2.50 for a small 99, what a rip. Our local...

A lovely Cafe and area to visit. Their ice cream was a huge hit with the family as was their tea and cake

Stopped here for breakfast and it didn’t disappoint. Great portions of good quality food and delicious creamy ice cream for the children (and adults). Dropped a slight point for service it’s only minor but I’m unable to drop half a point.

the cafe is an experience NOT to be missed, freshly cooked local produce mainly done perfectly. The ice cream made on site is delightful

Really nice ice cream, fantastic food and really friendly staff! Pay a visit and see for yourselves!

Another brilliant weekend, with the birthday candle on the toast pile and the personalised birthday card too. Thanks guys a perfect day !!!!! Your standards are second to none, service spot on and the quality of the food right on ! We wouldn't go anywhere...

Its definitely worth popping in here for ice cream if you are close / passing by Whitby. Lots of choice of really nice ice cream and we have always found the staff to be really friendly. They also do hot food but its cooked to...

Stayed here for 2 nights recently and have to say I couldn't find any faults at all. £17 a night for a tent s very reasonable and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Massive field to pitch up on,play area for kids,footy nets and even a dog walk. Little shop on site sells most things you'd need,bread,milk etc. They make and sell their own ice cream which is awesome and the tea room makes an awesome full English breakfast. We will definetely return to Beacon farm

Went with our daughter and 2 grandchildren to cool down with some of the fabulously tasty Beacon Farm ice-cream. My wife had an afternoon cream tea whilst the rest of us had a mixture of ice-creams. They are generally very busy in the tea-rooms so you may have a slight wait - but we were not there to rush things- well worth the wait. There is an indoor play area including an indoor bouncy castle for the children whilst the adults sit outside in the sun catching the delicious drops of melting ice-cream. We generally end up buying 6 boxes of various flavours of ice-cream for our freezer at home - purely for the grandchildren you understand (my favorite is the cinder toffee one)

What a horrible experience. Nasty, rude proprietor. This lady was having a bad day, from the moment I said I wanted a small size ice for the kids as I didn’t want to spend £20 on ice cream. I was subjected to what amounted to a ‘telling off’ as this ice cream was expensive as it was the best? There is more, but never mind. The ice cream btw, was nice, however my 10 yr old son, did state he preferred Trillo’s dairy ice at half the price from the day before! Enough said.

Very friendly owners and staff. You are made welcome as soon as you arrive. Toilet /shower block is immaculate food is very good Lovely views looking down to Whitby. Been 3 times while holidaying in Whitby. Will call again when holidaying near there.

We fount Beacon farm whilst driving around the area looking for a pub. Whilst at beacon farm we only sampled the ice cream which all of our party enjoyed. All being well we shall return to sample the breakfast. Which if it is any thing like the ice cream I'm sure it will be yummy.

Visited here today, parked up and noticed what a beautiful farm this is.....lierally that where it ended. Walked in, and the first thing we noticed was loads of food on the floor, and some of the tables that needed cleaning. There was flies all around the beams as we walked towards the counter at the back of this tea room. There were 3 people getting served by the most disinterested 'ice queen' behind the counter, who if she attempted could not be anymore approachable if she tried. We ordered our very mediocre ice cream, which if I am honest we have had better in Whitby previously, but decided to travel just outside to Beacon Farm for a change, which we wish we hadn't. Sat at a reasonably clean table (which we thought), only to literally stick to it!. There was plastic tablecovers on all the tables and I can only imagine that they are all the same, sticky, dirty and covered in whatever. We left there needing to go into the outside toilets to wash our hands. Will never visit here again, needs a good clean!

Really nicely decorated barn conversion which houses the café. The food ranges from bacon or sausage baps (brilliant with loads of filling) to full English Breakfast and loads of specials on the blackboard.There is an outdoor seating area attached to the café which welcomes dogs so we were able to sit in the sunshine and enjoy our food. Off this area there is an indoor play area with a bouncy castle which keeps the little ones occupied.As per the title this is also an ice cream parlour. The ice cream is made on site, has won awards and is sold throughout the region. I'm ashamed to say I didn't get round to sampling the ice cream whilst staying on their adjoining campsite so will at least have an excuse to go back soon!I would highly recommend this cafe.

6 of us came for breakfast / brunch and it was excellent food, really good quality sausages, nice whole mushrooms, runny yolks, beans were piping hot - we all cleaned our plates and loved it.

We were in the area and saw this place. The was plenty to choose from on the menu at good prices. Plenty of choices in the ice cream cabinet. Good size potions. Will call again

Popped in on the offchance for breakfast after seeing the sign on the roadside. Very reasonably priced breakfast (£4.95 for full english) with fantastic sausage! Well recommended.

We camped for a couple of nights on this quiet campsite. On our last day we decided to sample the breakfast at the cafe on site. It was absolutely delicious and set us up for the journey home. We also sampled the ice creams during our visit .......... yummy mm!

we had a late lunch here, which comprised of jacket potatoes and for others full breakfast. we finished off with the lovely ice cream

What a find! Very reasonable prices, a lovely range of ice creams, great staff and a beautiful setting.

Whilst staying down the road we visited Beacon Farm a couple of times during our holiday, on one occasion having lunch there. There's a great selection of food on the menu as well as fantastic sounding ice cream sundaes that unfortunately we didn't have time for. I had quiche and chips and hubby had panini and chips and our little girl had a reasonably priced kids' box. The food was a bit slow to arrive, think the staff could do with a bit of speeding up but when it arrived, it was delicious! Really tasty and a nice environment in which to eat. Would definitely recommend if staying nearby.

Despite having a whingy child in tow, we had a lovely lunch here. Staff were polite and helpful and the food arrived in good time. We were sad that we couldn't experience on of the delicious sounding ice cream sundaes but the whingy child had other ideas!!! Next time we will...

As a local this is a useful cafe and little play area for the whole family. Yes, it needs a little tlc and the inside bouncy castle area is a bit dated, but you get nice food and the kids get a play. We have always been able to get a table and there is an outside courtyard which is welcomed in the Summer months. The service is sometimes a little slow however. This is not the Ritz, which it is not claiming to be, it's a working farm that produces it's own delicious brand of ice cream, and has a good selection of resonably priced, good food. We will keep coming here as the kids like it, I love the mushroom soup and, being a local, it is nice to escape from the madness that is Whitby during it's busy times!

We visited here on the vintage working day. We sat outside in the courtyard area with tea & a paradise square cake & a min.t slice.They were very nice, staff were very friendly & the service was good, we may visit again next year,it was very interesting.

We were really looking forward to this as the write up in the Whitby guide made it sound really good. We went out of our way to visit, only to find it was a very ordinary cafe, not as clean as we had expected and the food was pretty mediocre.

This was possibly the best place for our 1st camping experience, amazing ice cream, field with a view and helpful staff. It was whitby regatta and busy but they coped well adding extra toilets. We will definitely be back!

Called in on a day out in the Whitby area--what a big mistake,It is set on a working farm and the whole place had that run down neglected past its best feel about it,On entering the café the smell of grease was overpowering and it all felt that it needed some drastic updating.We were stood ages waiting to be served as the girl serving was busy talking to a customer about her private life!!We decided to sit outside in the courtyard which was similar to the interior in the level of neglect that was on display.We all had different ice creams which were all dreadful and all were very chalky and powdery in their texture,Give this place a wide berth

We have just returned from our second trip to Beacon Farm for camping, I wanted to leave a review for the camp site... but I can't find it, so the parlour is the next best thing!It is an absolute treasure of a find. The staff couldn't be more helpful and the quality of the food is excellent. We have had breakfasts when camping and ice creams at various intervals throughout the day and never been disappointed. It is incredibly reasonable and the menu is pleasing for all.Attached to the parlour is a lovely outdoor area and barn with bouncy castle and toys to entertain the children. It is now a firm favourite for us when visiting the seaside.Thank you!

This little place is an ice cream lover's heaven. A must stop on the way home to sample the food and or the lovely ice creams. I would recommend many varieties but our favourite to eat in is the toffee and cinder toffee creation - not for the faint hearted. Then take away tubs - make room in your freezer, you won't regret it.

lovely little cafe with fantastic ice cream and a large selection at that, also do a wide range of foods, very friendly service as well

VG Ice cream made on site as this is the HQ of Beacon Ice cream which is very popular in the Whitby area. You can sit in and enjoy a meal and snacks as well as the delicious ice cream

Great sandwichs Brilliant cakes and scones Value for money 10£per couple wellwoth a visit pity we could not manage one of there ice creams Willreturn again

Best ice cream around I love ice cream and this certainly is one of the best flavorsome, creamy,delicious lots of flavors the strawberry,cinder toffee cookies and cream hmmmn
