Fredericks Ice Cream in Chorley

This is an amazing café. So friendly. Really pleasant overall. Perfect for a coffee. Lovely atmosphere. Very nice workers.

Aw me and my kids loved it here last week. The famous Wigan ice cream shop! Guys is was amazing! - I think this is a place to come with your kids just to chill and get an ice cream or dessert- this isn’t just any ice cream shop! This is outstanding - many flavours , not just your usual flavours either . Many options too choose from to be prepared for that “I don’t know what to get” I seen a girl eating a cheese toasty which looked VERY nice and presented on her plate . So they just don’t serve ice cream theirs many options of things to choose from when your here you could even come for dinner too! I will deffo be back does get busy though so be prepared for that we come at just the right time just after 1pm but got busy again when we just ordered

Great place, best ice-cream around 👌 My only complaint is so much choice and I want to have them all . The kids love it and the keepsake mugs are a lovely touch

Visited here for a treat on our way home from a family day out. There was so much choice and something for everyone. The portion sizes are very good for what you pay so great value for money and there’s plenty toppings to choose from. You can even take big tubs of your favourite flavour home. It’s always busy so you may need to park a little way down the road and walk up if you’re driving.

An unexpected find on our walk today. Had 3 ice creams which were all fantastic and the really good value for money. Will definitely visit again if we are in the area.

If we`re every in the Chorley area, a visit to Fredericks is a MUST !!! ...... regardless of whether the climate is offering sunshine or snow !!! The ice cream is absolutely delicious and the range of flavours is astonishing - with everything from the best Vanilla I`ve ever tasted right through to Candyfloss and Cindertoffee !! Huge waffle cones with various toppings for the price of just a standard `99` elsewhere. Definitely worth a visit.

This ice cream parlour is certainly worth a visit if you like ice cream you will be a little disappointed because they have so many different flavours you won’t know which one to choose so you will like me return time after time you won’t want to miss this little gem.

The ice cream range is good but the state of the toilets is disgusting. These clearly haven’t been cleaned for months with the build up of dirt ( this hasn’t happened on one day, before that excuse is used) , if we had been in there first no way would I have eaten there. Shocking and no excuse

Please spend some money on your toilet facilities. Broken lock Broken toilet seat No toilet paper No hand towels No soap Not clean In need of redecoration Very poor standard considering the amount of money passing through the tills. It gives the impression that you don’t really care about your customers experience. Good points! Great good and ice-cream 👌 (Visited on a weekday late morning)

Travelled a few miles for a sundae with the kids- wasn’t disappointed! The lad behind the counter was very patient with my picky eaters and very knowledgable about the products! Really enjoyed the ice cream, the only thing I would say is that the menus could do with a wipe (sticky menus are a pet hate of mine!) but would visit again.

My family drive from North Manchester especially to get ice cream from this shop. Always a huge selection and always a huge queue lol.

I was asked to sign a waiver and to give my contact details before eating as I have allergies. I was told I need to give my contact details in case, this is an exact quote from the woman behind the counter, “you have a reaction and anything comes back on us”. I’m absolutely appalled at being treated like this and would implore anybody who suffers with allergies to avoid this place completely, as I also will do after walking out today. Nobody wants to sign away their legal rights and be told it’s their responsibility if they die after eating food prepared by someone else. I felt embarrassed and singled out and I was treated with disregard by staff. Having been hospitalised from an anaphylactic shock previously was a very upsetting experience.

stood outside in a long cue in the pouring rain only to be charged a ridiculous price for a wet soggy cone of underwhelming ice cream

I’ve seen many many horrible reviews on this place relating to price, covid ect,,, however they can shove it up their arsee, first of all the prices of the ice cream are standard for their high quality, it must be obvious that the Tory covid moaners have something to say. And second of all, have you got nothing better to do that moan about an ice cream shop get a gripP.s keep parking on road I’ll see u fredericks tonight x

Bring back Maple & Walnut, White Chocolate, Blackcurrant &Liquorice they are the best flavours Sherbet ice cream is too sweet it’s like eating sugar

The ice cream is amazing. It’s absolutely incredible, it really is. The Maltesers in my ice cream were crunchy and delicious. The ice cream itself was smooth. The cone was also delicious. The staff were friendly and the service was efficient.

Fabulous but ice cream portion sizes need to be consistent across all staff. I visit a lot and the size of ice cream varies so much. Tastiest ice cream though. Will stop visiting if prices increase

Amazing range of ice cream (I had creme egg, haribo & my daughter - smarties, ferrero). Fab chose of cones, sauces etc too and can also buy other bits such as dessert sauce bottles (treated us to lime flavour) Plus cakes and similar goodies The staff are always lovely and allow you plenty of time to choose! Liked the signs outside which showed you ice creams & extra so you have the option to choose while in the queue Always looks very clean and well organised Social distancing was in place (2 people in shop at a time- & easy to read signs explaining this) and everyone was wearing masks The girl who served us was very polite, patient and friendly as was Nathan who helped us out with a payment problem. Highly recommended- the best Ice cream shop we’ve ever visited !

Went for an ice cream. Staff friendly. Ice cream good. People not social distancing in the queue. Once inside the tiny store, I counted 16 people (not including staff) and only 3 had masks on. I think there needs to be a limit to the number of people in the shop at once and a more proactive approach to asking people to wear a face covering.

Had two scoops of ice cream one of salted caramel and one of toffee fudge. Both excellent and a very good portion of each. Well worth the 3 pounds cost.

Amazing choices of flavours and variations. Prices very good. Parking ok on this occasion but can imagine difficult.

Visited recently from recommendation of a friend. Was told to expect a queue so wasn’t put off when we saw one. Ice cream was absolutely spot on and perfect but the ignorance of the great British public marred the visit somewhat. In a queue of about 30 people, only a few of us put on face masks in the shop. People were coughing and sneezing, kids were running around others in the queue and quite a few were paying with loose change! Such a shame that people can’t do their bit, no wonder the numbers are rising again. Also, was a bit disappointed to see staff not wearing gloves esp when handling money, though we did witness them use the antibacterial hand gel in between serving so that something I guess.

First of all how on earth has the Councilallowed all this double parking on the main road,next to very busy traffic lights.The house holders must be at their wits end.Then comes the price.Yes the ice cream is very nice,But my goodness,I thought they were giving the telephone number,not the price of the item.I walked away.Perhaps they may give realistic prices one day.

We visited the Frederick's Ice Cream Parlour on our way home as we had heard about it.We endulged ourselves in a large cup of their Italian Ice Cream, which did not disappoint us in the slightest. The ice cream was of excellent quality.We would visit this ice cream parlour again in future when in the area!

Ordered two big tubs of icecream over lockdown and 2 packs of cones the lotus tub had a very odd taste to it as did the malteser icecream should of taken the back really but its a half hour drive there. Next time i will drive to wallings or cafe creme on the wirral

Only got ice cream, it was fine but amaretto was gross to be honest. Service was really good and friendly

Myself and my son popped in for an ice cream about an hour ago. There was a young man serving us. He didn't use any gloves while handling our ice creams, and picked the Flake up with his bare hands. I must say I am most unhappy with this. This is unhygienic at the best of times, but given the current virus surely this goes against government regulations. 

Frederick's ice-cream parlour might be closed but they are still serving takeaways from an ice cream van near their parlour on Bolton road, and a mini trailer near the lovely canal seating area. Just the ticket after a long bike ride on a hot sunny day. 10 out of 10 for service and delicious ice-cream.

Out for the day and called ion for ice cream on the way home - the variety is amazing - as it was a nice day - took our ices and walked down to canal bank to est it

What can i say ..... best ice cream ever and so much choice. Gets very busy and no real place to park is its only let down.

Lovely ice cream with an amazing choice of flavours, many of them are very unusual.Avoid hot and sunny days!! Queues, queues, queues.Main negative is that parking is a major problem...cars park along the main A6 on both sides of the road by a major junction. It's a serious accident waiting to happen.

Great selection of ice creams, sometimes a small queue but worth waiting for! The tables weren’t the cleanest inside nor was the floor when we visited but they seemed busy. Reasonable price, one of our local favourites! Nice walk down the canal from here too.

Fantastic choice of delicious ice cream also snack food drinks and deserts can be very busy long queues but worth the wait

I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl. I didn’t think they could get any better , but OMG they now have a huge verity of ice creams and cones.; offering gluten and vegan free. There ice cream is like no other and with the cafe you can sit and enjoy sundaes coffees teas hit chocolate and delicious snacks. Love the place and the family who run it

The best ice cream. They had gluten free waffle cones in sealed wrappers. Labelled which ice cream was gluten free. Staff washed hands and opened new tubs. Loveky experience with my 2 coeliacs. Will definitely be back.

Nice ice-cream on the A6 close to lots of canal and countryside walk Nice young staff We enjoyed our choices Just nice for a lunch time snack

Had a trip out after visiting the shops at Horwich, only about 15 min away. Not as busy as usual, we were earlier than normal, and managed to park on the road opposite. Just under £5.00 for three scoops, great choice of ice cream and served quick, tasted good too. Only bad thing is the calories consumed.

It would have been helpful if there was a list of ice cream flavours outside the shop has the queue was long. When your turn at counter feel rushed to pick when lots of people behind you

Well if it’s a choice of Ice-Cream your after then you will be spoilt for choice this place has everything their ice cream is to die for and on a beautiful day as today was perfect and a nice short walk down to a seating area near the canal was perfect

July 27, 2019 bought 3 single scoop for £1.95 each which is reasonable. There are a lot flavors to choose. I tried Harry Potter ButterBeer 🤪 Ice-cream is smooth.

Great place for ice cream as they have sooo many flavours (just wish they had peanut butter more offer).

We had walked past this place loads of times but never went in. After a recommendation we gave it a try. Very polite staff, nice food and coffee at a reasonable price, we will return.

Fantastic ice cream. Had Amarretta and Scratchatella. People were queuing out the door even though it was 9-30. The secret is they turn ice into gold !

Took a small group of Explorer Scouts for a bike ride along the canal, with the aim of stopping at Fredericks for a treat and then riding home. When we arrived there was no queue outside and even shop was empty inside - might have something to do with it being a very damp evening! They have a fantastic range of ice cream flavours available, to suit everyone's tastes. Despite the lengthy deliberations to choose a flavour, the staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely return another time for more yummy ice cream.

Love this place best rum and raisin ice cream anywhere! Also our Golden Retriever loves the doggy ice cream! Highly recommend.

If you're not good at making decisions, maybe this isn't the place for you. Haha. Soooooo many ice cream flavours then... which cone? Toppings? Sauce? We (finally) made our choices and took our delicious ice creams out for a stroll down the canal which is just behind the ice cream parlour. There is also seating both in and outside of the building and a little separate seating area with picnic tables near the canal. Very popular and busy place. Amazing ice cream!

The best choice of ice cream ever! Staff always helpful and patient !! My kids and I love it here! Never disappointed!! Apart from the long wait on sunny days but that can’t be helped!

Great ice cream and many flavours to select from, for myself not being a big ice cream lover Fredrick is the only place that gets me excited to have one. Great place!

Really looked forward to enjoying our ice creams including a knicker bocker glory. However, despite ordering a total of seven different ice cream flavours they all tasted more or less the same which was really disappointing. The coconut bounty flavour had no coconut taate at all. This was the same with the raspberry ripple and bueno flavours. So after spending over £13.00 we could have just bought vanilla ice cream from the supermarket. Certainly won't be going back.

Totally disappointed .expensive but not as good as said homemade ice cream.put alot of essence and being a food lover totally not like the flavours which are not pure and try to enhance by too much use of essences.pure dairy icecreams dont have powder feature in them and sorry the icecream had alot in it.need to increase quality and still surprise why ppl of chorley wasting money on this standard .must try pauls ice cream in chill factor to know what really dairy ice cream meant to be

We cam on Bank Holiday Monday and it was a hot day so we anticipated queuing it is to be expected with Frederick's you often see them queuing all down the road. We queued about 20 mins and bought some ice-cream in cones which were tasty and reasonably priced to take out.

Used to love coming here as a pit stop for our cycle rides. Called in this morning for sausage on toast and have to say it was the worst I’ve ever had. It consisted of one and a half sausages served on unbuttered toast. They did serve butter on the side but it was rock hard and unspreadable. Who wants to deconstruct their sandwich to have to put butter on. Never used to be this way and can only think they are cutting costs.

Ice cream is good but overrated in my opinion. Always very busy and have to be determined for ice cream to que! Can be quite pricey too cost me £12 for two ice creams in a tub no cone and a can of pop!

We had heard about the ice-cream so as we were passing we called in. There is very little parking as it's on a busy road so we were lucky to get a space.

We moved to the area a few months ago & were really looking forward to a visit. We called on a Sunday evening & struggled to park within around 100 metres as there are only 3 or 4 spaces. I made the mistake of turning down next to the shop thinking there was parking behind but there isn’t, and it’s difficult to find a place to turn round. The staff were very friendly but sadly the ice cream flavours were fairly bland in comparison to other places we have visited. Between the three of us we had rum & raisin, mint choc chip, chocolate, vanilla & cappuccino, so we had a good selection. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to the hype.

My family loves Fredericks. So many different flavours to choose from and great portion sizes. Prices are extremely fair and we visit regularly for a treat. Only suggestion is that staff should use gloves as they touch the cones and money which isn’t very hygienic!

Popped in today for an ice cream whilst in a walk. As always a wide range of choice is offered, delicious flavours (I had honeycomb and gingerbread, the latter particularly delicious) and friendly service. A great place to with the family.

Massas, Fredericks Ice Cream Parlour in Chorley town centre, is always good. Today we only had snacks and drinks but they were very good as usual. The staff are all very nice and the dining are is modern and clean. If you fancy Fredericks Ice Cream and you want to avoid the queues, try this place.

I would usually take the people in my care when working to Fredericks as a treat for an ice cream.

Good ice cream, at a great price. Had the unusual flavour of Chorley cake ice cream. A very large cone was £3. The ice cream parlour seems to stay open quite late

Lots ice cream to choose from selection and variety excellent I've never yet been able just to walk and purchase an ice crea6,so popular be prepared for a small queue,but you won't be disappointed.

Both had Knickerbocker glories. John had licorice, cookies & cream, peanut butter. I had vanilla, strawberry, rice pudding. Both topped with cream and sprinkles. We both had a side of tutti fruity. Well served and delicious, lovely.

Be prepared to join a very long queue, however tge wait is worth it. Lovely ice cream all made on the premises. So many flavours to choose from.

We went here yesterday on our way home. The service is excellent and the ice cream is the best you will find anywhere. A definite must if you are in the area.

Huge choice of flavours, banana chocolate appeared new this visit, and all three of us picked it, along with skittle, cola and curly wurly flavours. All excellent. Just under £5 for a three scoop tub, each scoop is more like 2 or more normal, so not that bad a value.

So many flavours and such a difficult choice but the ice cream is delicious and the portion size is generous. Fairly reasonable price for the size too. Couple of small issues, I'd feel more comfortable if the servers wore gloves as they do handle money and ice cream at the same time. Also parking is a bit of a nightmare and you have to park on the main road.

Visited the Fredricks Ice Cream shop

Great choice of tempting ice creams. Friendly staff. Parking is an issue but well worth the trouble. Knickerbocker Glory, very nice.

We came here from worden park in Leyland

We called off at Fredericks Ice Cream Parlour as we were sailing on a barge on a very very hot day. Some of our friends had been before and decided it would be a good idea (they were not wrong).

Visited the town centre branch Massas. Good choice of ice cream and had a pleasant cookies and creme cone. Nice cafe.

After watching the lady flick left over counter ice cream back in the tubs with a dish cloth we were left feeling anxious. We told her it was unhygienic although she didn't seem to care. The staff were rude, they over charged and they all looked like they hate their jobs. Awful experience, never again.

Had the best flavour I’ve cream I’ve ever had. Apple pie & custard 😍😍😍 it was amazing. Also the staff are so friendly & efficient even on the busiest of days

I've been driving past here for years but never stopped because of the long ques outside , today I went for a bike ride up the canal and saw the fredericks sign and chatted to a couple eating their icecream who told me its a long wait but worth it,

Lovely sunny day so decided on a walk down. Joined the queue but it moved pretty quickly. Lots of choice. I'd like to see a ferero rocher flavour or a kinda bueno perhaps :-) Reasonably priced too. Area to sit outside by the river

Absolutely disgusted and ashamed as to the way I was treated when visiting my favourite ice cream parlour for the best rum and raisin money can buy. I ordered a “two scoop” ice cream in a luxurious chocolate and peanut cone to be met with what I can only described as a monstrosity. I’ve heard of “double bagging” a supermarket plastic bag but double coning an ice cream? Because the cone I actually wanted was cracking? What a farce. I paid for my ice cream, sat down, pondered as to how I was going to eat this disgrace. After pondering for a few seconds more I went straight back to the counter to ask for it to be changed. The waitress then proceeded to tell me “sorry there’s nothing I can do” as this was “very luxurious ice cream”, I then began to kick up a small fuss. After such fuss the waitress then emptied my ice cream in to a tub, then in to another cone, and handed it me back, all melted and looking like an ice cream after it had been digested by the human body. Again I advised I was not happy to pay £4 for this and the service I was receiving and asked for a fresh ice cream, which I felt was the fairest option and should of been offered at the start. The waitress then decided it was time to involve a manager. A manger at which was not on site and could only be reached by an old fashioned telephone that took 20minutes to connect. After a short phone call she came back, ice cream still in hand looking like a dogs dinner, stated no refund and no fresh ice cream and offered me the ice cream in her hand. Of course this was refused and she then threw the ice cream in the bin. We was now in a predicament, no ice cream, and no refund which to me means I’ve paid for a product I have not had. As far as I’m aware this is against consumer rights which I informed the waitress on. Eventually after a very embarrassing 20mins stand off and being threatened by police intervention I was given my refund and asked to leave. absolutely shocking and I will never be returning.

Go regular every two weeks for a lovely ice cream with various gorgeous flavours nuts and chocale flake. Actually been going for the best part of 50 years both to the shop and originally its vans as a child nothing better.

well Fredericks has always been there and i remember going 30 years ago better choice than before; lovely staff and very efficient

Stopping on the canal and walking up a short path brought us to Fredericks. Even on a Wednesday afternoon it was busy and I could see why. The choice of ice creams, sorbets and frozen yoghurts was amazing and vast. The portion sizes are very generous which makes it excellent value for money.

The shop is clean and staff who work under a high volume of customers still manage to stay calm. Parking is a issue however the product is awesome, strong cones, loads of flavours with added toppings and sauces on offer

Lovely ice cream parlour - lots of different flavours to choose from. Can sit inside or down by the canal.

Despite having to queue for over 15 minutes, it was worth a visit. The variety of cones, flavours, options was fantastic. Wish there were more places to enjoy the ice creams outside, but understand with England’s typical weather, there is no point in investing in more outdoor space.

This is a gem of a place, we queued down the road for 20 mins to get in, the choices are brilliant, not your run of the mill flavours ie. Ricotta and Cranberry which my friend loved, I had Mango and Haribo strange combi but lovely, the best Rum and Raisin for miles says my boyfriend. Well worth a trip and queue.

I love ice cream but this place is something else!! So much variety and always different flavours (that you wouldn’t even think of!) A lovely treat and worth the drive over. Thanks

This is one busy little shop and I am not surprised they are queuing down the street! It is so worth a visit, they also have food panini, crepes, breakfast so if you fancy your lunch then ice cream it’s ideal. If you manage to sit inside there are nice photos decorating the walls with the history of fredericks which is lovely!

Absolutely love the ice cream here and is great value for money. Only problem I’d say is that you need a menu board with all the flavours on (apologies if there is one and I’m being an idiot) because when it’s busy you only get to see one of the display freezers and I feel as if I’m missing out on many good flavours. Other than that, faultless.

We went here the other day for ice cream. There is a great selection of ice cream and the service was excellent.

The ice cream is delicious lots of flavours to choose from and a good selection of sauces toppings and cones. Not tried the savoury food myself like the pizzas but what I saw of other customers and listing to them complain I would give it...

Genuinely cannot wait to return!! The selection of ice cream is incredible! The waffles with Nutella is amazing! There's no parking but completely worth a visit if you have a sweet tooth

Been before, but mid week this time was Sunday. Nobody in the staff seems to have an age range over 20, wanted to eat in most people in the Q were wanting ice cream cornets went in found a table which was overflowing and wet with left over ice cream and presume drinks tried to order a pizza was told I would have to Q with the ice cream cornets! Ordered pizza 25 minutes and approx 50 ice cream cones later please see pictures the results of a pizza and two cones £17.95

Rip off prices, and massive wait for your ice creams, nowhere to park except main road, which causes traffic congestion! 🙉 Don't bother.

Lovely ice cream but very expensive for what it is. Long queue to get served but I suppose if you're not in a hurry it's okay.

Once again spoilt for choice! Definitely worth queuing down the street for. Very helpful staff, no hesitation in going into the back and opening 2 fresh tubs of ice cream due to our peanut allergy.

This ice cream parlour is very popular with all because of the high quality of the many flavours of ice cream on offer. There is always a queue outside the parlour as patrons wait for their turn to be served. (Well worth waiting ) There is a seating area that is generally full so most patrons take their ice creams outside and to their cars. I will always call in when I'm passing after work and take some home to eat after dinner as a desert.

The girls serving were lovely. There were so many flavours i was spoilt for choice. I decided i was having the liquorice but couldn't see any so opted for amaretto, which was lovely, rum n raisin, very nice & vegan cherry, nice. Hubby had chocolate & raspberry ripple. He enjoyed his too. We will definitely visit again next time we are in the area. We walked as couldn't see anywhere to park. I loved all the old, nostalgic photo's on the wall. Hope they have liquorice flavour next time! :0)

If only I wasn't on a diet! Love this place!

Fantastic ice cream shop and been around for years. Always a great service with friendly staff and high quality ice cream. Also my partner is lactose intolerant and was perfectly fine.. not sure how but it’s always a bonus when we get into bed at night

Have been here once but will definitely come back. Wide variety of ice cream flavours! I went for bueno and chocolate and it was delicious.

Cheerful atmosphere for pizza and delicious ice cream. No wonder there is always a big queue outside Fredericks cafe and ice cream parlour. Just the ticket for a family treat any day of the week

There’s only one thing bad about this place and that’s the fact my belly isn’t big enough to eat more....
