Ice cream factory in Allerdale

The place is small but amazing for ice cream shakes not so much. Ordered Bueno shake and was as thin as milk with chunks floating about. However the sundaes were lovely my kids loved them

One of the best days this year when it came to sunshine and where was the best place to buy an ice cream, yes it was 'The Ice Cream Factory'. Their ice cream's were fantastic and the young girls working behind the counter couldn't have been nicer if they tried.

Fantastic selection of ice cream. Pretty speedy whippy making. Great service. Excellent value for money. Would recommend going.

We found this lovely little ice cream shop in silloth. There is a wide range of different ice creams and knicker boker glorys , tubes , cones etc I hd a choc and nut kicker boker glory it took me back to when i was a child running out to the ice-cream van. The ice cream was nice and soft. You could also have ices ream scoops of various flavours. Today i was served by two young girls who were very polite and pleasant. The last time i was there three girls were on the counter but they were very busy and seemed stressed and not very pleasant. We will be going back to silloth in a few weeks snd heading to the ice cream shop again.

We found this lovely ice cream shop while visiting the area. I had the lemon meringue special in a tub my hubby had a single cone with lime and coconut. We’re served by an older man. My lemon one was enormous full of flavour. I had a job to finish it. Was the best ice cream I ever had and at £3.50 was worth every penny. My husband said his was lovely and a good scoop Sadly we returned today, we were served by a young girl. I ordered the same which lacked flavour snd was half the amount that I got the other day. My husband had rum and raisin in a cone which was fine. .

Repeat visit, lovely ice cream and the one we use as a comparison. Not as good as Silloth when we buy from other places is often said. Interesting choices, liquorice for him, raspberry ripple for me. A good size ice cream for a sensible price!

Very popular place and good value. We tred the sundaes, which were very filling and delicious. One of the better ice cream shops we've visited on our travels.

Delicious ice cream, a unique variety of flavours, and reasonably priced too. Orange choc chip (which I've never seen anywhere before), turkish delight, coconut and lime and, hidden under the other three, mint choc chip. The orange choc chip and turkish delight flavours were a revelation.

Excellent ice-cream after a 4 hour driver thank god you are open. Great selection of flavours and different corns. Well worth the trip

Lovely selection of ice cream and milkshakes, great flavour. The staff are friendly, chatty and helpful, worth a visit and its right across the cobbled road from the village green and great sea views.

After a long hot day cycling this ice cream shop was like an oasis in the desert. 2 generous scoops very fair price absolutely delicious taste. If I was near Silloth I would go there just for the purpose of having some of this ice cream

Delicious and unusual flavours, huge scoops at reasonable prices and a cute seafont shop. Worth a detour

A taste of heaven. It was beautiful service amd the ice cream was to die for... a very generous helping on each cone amd the lady serving was so kind and patient with is all as we decided our choices...it was the highlight of our wee holiday... definitely a lovley wee shop

Amazing homemade icecream, lots of unique and qwirky flavours. Excellent value for money. Huge scoops. Well worth a visit if your in silloth.

lovely ice cream, helpful staff, very popular. would recommend the vanilla has a lovely creamy texture.

Huge range of flavours, toppings, cones etc to choose from. Clearly popular with the queue but we were not disappointed.

Lovely staff , asked for salted caramel and the kind lady got us a tub out. Thanks for great ice cream experience after such a poor experience at Allonby the previous day.

Wondered why there was a long queue outside most of the time, so when we passed later in the day and there was a break in queue we popped in - and were rewarded with some excellent ice cream .

All information on line stated it opened at 9 ..... no ..... didn’t even have any opening hrs displayed

Went months and months ago. Got a peanut butter flavour I've ice cream in a sugar cone with Belgian chocolate dip. Possibly the best ice cream experience for miles around. I might have even cried a little bit. Definitely worth breaking your diet for but be prepared for a long wait. (Please que along the street and not across it)

Delicious ice cream we had biscoff and cinder toffee both extremely creamy. My kids had the chocolate and vanilla both said it was very creamy

Walked past here on Monday several times and each time there was a queue. Always a good sign. Bought ice cream for the family which was delicious. Returned on Tuesday especially for another one. Worth a visit if your passing.

We went as a family group to get an ice cream when we visited Silloth. After going to an ice cream van nearby who had no knowledge of allergies we thought an established ice cream shop would be a safer and better option. Very little knowledge of allergies and nothing suitable for anyone with a peanut allergy. Very lazy for a company these days.

Very good ice-cream served with a good choice of flavours. Sensible prices and decent amount of ice cream offered.

Despite being a cold November afternoon the children all wanted ice cream. There were plenty of different cones to choose from and, considering the time of year, a good selection of ice cream. They all enjoyed their cornets, I can't vouch for them as they disappeared before I could as k for a bite :)

Lovely little visit to the ice cream factory lots of choice and fab prices not expensive at all. Wished they took card payments as the only 2 card machines in the village didn't work but never mind managed to get cash back! So make sure you take cash when you go :-)

6 different ice creams in 4 different cones - all delicious and very well priced! Would definitely recommend.

We couldn't resist an ice cream when we walked past their shop on the high street and boy were we pleased that we did. Their chocolate ice cream was first class and the young lady that served us was very helpful when it came to explaining the flavours.

The whiskey and cream ice cream has made my holiday 10x better, the staff at the ice cream factory are all very nice and efficient, the only problem is there is no big tub of the whiskey and cream. My family also loved the strawberry ice cream, worth the money 100%. I would recommend this to everyone who is looking for some refreshing taste and strong flavouring ice cream.

Best icecremm in siloute home made Exelent varitey.grate prices I got a tub with 3 scoops €1.80 cheap as chips and it was run and rasin lovely well recommended

There is lots of choice of ice cream but I like the plain vanilla. It was lovely. Shortly after we got there a group of cub scouts arrived. It was funny watching them choose so carefully. They all clearly enjoyed theirs too. Lots of choice of ice cream and cones.

Highly recommended ice cream. I had a chocolate waffle cone filled with a scoop of chocolate and mint choc chip ice cream. Only cost £2.20 which was good value compared to some ice cream parlours. Service was quick but a smile from the shop assistant who served me wouldn't have gone amiss.

it was a really warm day, so quite a long queue, the the young lady serving managed to get through all of the orders quite quckly and efficiently. great ice cream

Enjoyed a few cones during Pride. Returned the sunday ! Great products and FANTASTIC prices! 100% will return!!!

You really must visit this ice cream shop it's fantastic Lots of different flavours ,large cone ,very reasonable prices

We have so looked forward to visiting the ice cream factory again & have not been disappointed ,thankyou for the most amazing ice cream ever , we can’t wait until our next visit x

Very popular and most of times queues out of the door. Worth the wait. Two fridges full of scoop ice cream. Cash only no cards. Small shop .

Excellent ice cream. .... Sitting back in motorhome now attacking the "take home pack" (it'll not last that long).

Best ice cream in Silloth lovely flavours and great service and prices very friendly knowledgeable staff

Lovely ice cream. Very efficient, friendly girls serving at a busy weekend. Very reasonable prices too.

We visited this Ice cream shop every day while on a family holiday. The ice cream is sooooo good!!! Lots of flavours and each day the guest flavour is something different. Really reasonably priced also. We also used to buy a large tub to take home for later. Raspberry ripple, cinder toffee, salted caramel and lots more. Yum yum yum. Make sure you go!!!

Can't resist a calling in for an ice-cream everything we go to Silloth, their chocolate flavoured ice-cream beats them all, especially if its in a waffle cone. Very reasonably priced compared to other establishments that we've been too. We will definitely go back, again in the future.

Lots of different flavours of ice creams .they also sell sweets. We bought a wind mill with small sweets in the handle when the sweets had been eaten we filled the handle with sand from the local beach.

Went on a warm summer afternoon and each had a rum and raisin ice cream , cone , nicest we have ever tasted We sat on a little bench on the green , it was perfect Would definitely recommend

Fab ice cream very reasonably priced lovely staff have to queue most times but well worth it. Service is quick and friendly

Big choose of homemade ice cream assorted cones, not expensive, staff young but friendly enough Whisky and cream great

My family was literally spoilt for choice, here!!! Situated in a fantastic location. Can visualise this shop having to expand and not my waistline hahaha. We have never been to a icecream outlet in the UK that can certainly give Disney world Florida, a good run for it's choice, taste and money !!!! Seriously peeps you have to try and then you certainly will believe this venue is tantastic!!!!! Yummy

We called in last week we fancied a ice cream it was a treat as we don't very often have one also got a couple of pkt's of sweets very good ice cream well worth the wait it was busy.

Went on a warm summer afternoon and each had a rum and raisin ice cream cone , nicest we have ever tasted We sat on a little bench on the green , it was perfect

We had amazing ice cream - orange choc chip was a favourite - and the staff were smiley and very welcome!

The ice cream factory shop is a dream, not just for children. The varieties are suitable and enticing for all ages. The shop is clean, and the staff are very pleasant and friendly. It beats nearby ice cream shops into a cocked hat.

We’ve got a van on solway holiday village and every time we go into town our 8 year old asks for an ice cream, be it sun, rain, hail, snow and of course being silloth wind!

Visited every week for the last 9 Years Clean beyond description pleasant staff lovely bright and airy shop flavours to many to name but most importantly the BEST Ice Cream in the North !!!!!

The best ice cream in the world. We drive 27 miles to go for a Ice cream and Cand Floss. The staff are very friendly.

Have to say the ice cream was good. I had the strawberry which actually tasted of strawberries. Our disappointment was with the manner of the assistants. Three young girls working there who seemed to find something about us amusing - two even stood in the shop cupboard area, one said something and giggled, the other then looked out at us and burst into giggles too. Maybe it wasn't about us but nonetheless it made us uncomfortable. Don't really wish to feel like this - not very professional. Don't intend to return as a result. Shame.

great ice cream very friendly staff many flavors to choose from reasonably priced to .a must on a hot day

Great place for a tasty ice cream, with a good varitiy of flavours and cone options. I recommend the jaffa orange, tangy but not overpowering, they don't skimp on portion sizes and the prices are reasonable. So good , I returned later in the week for another ;-)

Uno de los mejores helados que he probado, sin duda volveremos en nuestro próximo viaje 😊 la tienda era mas queuna un par de puertas de nuestro alojamiento y fuimos más de una vez. Está abierto bastante tarde, así que es bueno. Muchos de los...

Este helado en el Oeste de Cumbria! ! Cada vez que nos visita es un sitio de paso obligado venden la mejor frambuesa ripple (mi favorito) la familia siempre probar algo diferente incluyendo brew plancha, whisky y crema son a través del trabajo lentamente todos...

Me visita a menudo conmigo Silloth sólo por la carretera cerca de Carlisle. Y no importa el tiempo que venga a la fábrica de helados cada vez que visita porque nos decepcionó. Pequeña joya

Well, what can I say? It's an ice-cream parlour; and a nice one at that. The ice cream is very nice and they have a good selection of cones (the sherbet cone is good!). The only real downside is they could perhaps have a few more flavours of ice-cream to choose from, but what they do sell is very nice.It's reasonably priced too.

Very nice ice cream. Not a huge variety and strange opening hours.Would use again.While in Silloth a car boot come mini market was held on the green on a nice sunny day.All that was missing was ice cream.The place was shut,such a shame.

Lovely icecream shop with an abundance of flavours on offer... Plenty to choose from and all scrumptious. .

Lovely finish to a hot day. On our way back to campsite after a days fishing. Had the pistachio flavour and have to say the best natural pistachio flavour I have ever tasted.

The icecream is delicious. So many different flavours it is hard to choose. I love the Whisky and Cream. My friend had Rum and Raisin.There are cones or tubs available. Tubs are in three sizes, small, medium and large. You get a small plastic spoon. I usually have the medium. Yummee!

A lovely little shop with fabulous homemade ice cream so many flavours to choose from it makes it a hard choice but you could go back everyday and still find one you haven't tried already. The staff are welcoming and friendly and the price is excellent value for money and of course the ice cream is just so yummy. A firm favourite in our family. Definitely a place to try when you fancy a treat.

Lovely, spotted on recent visit and thought we would give it a try.4 Large tubs with some toppings under £10 very good. Lovely and creamy.

Best ice cream ever! Visited twice during our stay in Siloth, gorgeous and value for money highly recommended

A great hit with my children and very tasty ice cream. The old fashioned waffle cones were delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

This is an excellent place with top quality ice cream. Very reasonably priced too and perfect service. A favourite with our boys whilst on holiday in Silloth.

Great range of ice cream and cones! I recommend the honeycomb cone I could have eaten 10!!!! There was a queue to get in but understandable as it was lovely! !

Attended here while at Stanwix park the ice cream was really nice and was very reasonably priced, It is situated on the main street near to the sea front and you can park outside the shop

Ice cream very tasty .Young staff often not the most chatty/welcoming.Did ask if I could have a small taste of a flavour placed on my ice cream but was refused !!! Ice cream is tasty and has variety of flavours so I do frequent !

Had a great day in siloth which is a lovely town with lots to do with kids. But the highlight of my day was the delicious ice cream from this delightful shop well worth a visit. To both siloth and this shop

Lovely place,very friendly staff,some very unusual flavour ice cream but also the good old favourites like vanilla strawberry and mint choc chip and very reasonable considering there prime spot on the seafront

best ice cream in county & very good price .Lots of lovely flavours to choose from . good home made ice cream

We had an ice cream here as dessert after eating in the local fish and chip shop; and it was excellent. Very reasonably priced too @ 1.50 for a small cone.Only complaint is that we asked when they closed and were told 8pm; but when we returned the next day just after 7, it was all locked up. Maybe they have early closing on a Wednesday, but unfortunately that wasn't mentioned.

Best home made ice cream around! Lots of selection of ice cream, cones and sweets! Fabulous shop!

Nice local shop . good variety of flavours along with old favourites ..... Good price too .... Well worth a visit ..............

Fabulous ice cream. Great selection of flavours. Lovely welcoming shop. We all really enjoyed choosing .Well recommended.

Lovely clean shop. Friendly staff. Nice selection of ice creams & most importantly their prices are very reasonable. ..not like some seaside resorts where they overcharge! Went lady year when in the area, went this year and will definitely return again next year.

As per the title, nowhere in the local area can touch this shop for quality; it really is very nice ice cream.

So many choices we all had something different have been a few times does not disappoint especially the kids

Can't get enough of the ice cream here. It is fantastic value for money and an array of flavours cones and toppings. Helpful staff and great location in the centre of Silloth opposite the green.

Loved this ice cream shop when visited Silloth two years ago. Looked forward to going back again and wasn't disappointed. Good selection of flavours and cones. The prices are very reasonable as well.

Very nice ice cream & we now pass by Allonby to enjoy the selection at Silloth. Prices are very reasonable and a good selection of flavours and types from a simple cornet to sundaes. Cheapest & best ice cream in Cumbria!!Be prepared to queue in high season & on hot days. It does melt quickly so eat fast.

Every time we pop into the lovely Victorian town of Silloth it is a must to buy an ice cream. This ice cream parlour is excellent offer a good range of locally produced ice cream and have even started serving whipped ice cream and whipped yogurt best I've had

In my opinion, this is the best home made ice cream I have ever tasted! It is just the best. They really deserve to succeed. This is just an ice cream parlour and NOT a cafe or restaurant.

Visited here whilst spending a few hours in Silloth. Kids loved the ice cream. Good selection and polite service. Fair prices also

Delicious, we visited everyday. Often a queue but well worth the wait, can definitely recommend it, you won't be sorry.

We decided to have a run to silloth to enjoy sunshine whilst on school holidays. We enjoyed a wander along the front followed by a delicious ice cream. Even though the temperature was red hot and silloth was packed out the girls behind counter were really quick to serve the ice cream was really tasty and lots of flavours to pick from. Defo worth a visit if you there!!

It is what it says. They have a lot of flavours that are priced about right. Its a shame that they have nowhere to sit in and enjoy a sundae or a tub, its all takeaway. Still its nice ice-cream and they seemed to be doing a roaring trade.

Come here every time we visit Silloth. Adults and kids love it! Nic staff with friendly service and you can buy big tubs to take back to the lodge as well superb value for money!

selection of nice ice cream, not too expensive to say its a seaside shop. would have liked to have some sort of nut icecream or something more luxury.

Cones are more fancy than the ice cream but nice non the lessNo details on the outside regarding brand of icecream..

This is a lovely addition to the promenade in Silloth, Good selection on offer and reasonably priced. the kids enjoyed it , Unfortunate that there was a lack of seating for our party but well worth a visit none the less.

Lovely choice of flavours and the cones are HUGE! Staff very nice and allowed children enough time to choose their favourite flavour

The ice cream & the cones were delicious. We had cookie flavour and creme egg flavour! Would return if we were in the area again.

Take the kids here when we are through in silloth and I always end up getting an ice cream too, the bubblegum ice cream is tasty!

The best home made ice cream in silloth , can highly recommend, lots of delicious flavour always a large queue .
