Latchetts Farm in Wealden

Visited for the ice cream -Latchetts gelato (saw the strange flavours on TV). £4.90 for a double tub with wafer. Very nice. Heaven farm itself is not much of a farm a few chickens wandering and small bird avery.

Parking was rather tricky. Not really a farm to be fair. An aviary, a few chickens and some broken cow statues! On the plus side, the gelato is great!

Such a great little spot. Always a family trip as everyone always wants to come if it’s Latchetts. The brownies that you can order too are deadly 😂🙈

Had seen some good and bad reviews so decided to try for ourselves. The area was busy, yet the staff of one seemed to cope very well. They were friendly, engaging and very helpful. There was a large variety of flavours to choose from, some very different to the norm. The likes of Twix, Knickerbocker Glory, and Victoria sandwich sounded very intriguing. What we had was good quality and a delight to eat. We will go back again. There were also walks and a cafe nearby but we cannot comment on those.

I’ve been to plenty of these types of places on holiday in Devon and Cornwall. Italians do it better and call it Agriturismo but I think it’s great British farmers and producers are getting into it too. This farm has lots going for it, great walking and really cool soft play area for toddlers. We went out of way to have pit stop here purely for ice cream but arrived around lunchtime so the car was hungry. First we went into the restaurant which really showcases the local produce. I wasn’t that hungry so a charcuterie board was ordered though one of our group regretted and would have preferred breakfast ciabatta which looked epic on the other table. I love cheese but and less precious about it than my travelling group so they were really happy I was meh. The charcuterie I’m afraid was very poor and my nephew’s ham sandwich much tastier. Just because it’s local these entrepreneurs need to do research and check if it’s any good! The Diet Coke was ice cold so all good there. Onto the ice cream down the slope. Yes the teens serving were pretty joyless. Do they like ice cream? Do they like people? Do they like food retail? Do they like anything??? The product itself was okay. I had apple crumble ice cream which was only nice. It missed more apple and maybe some cinnamon. Other’s choc was good, the strawberry cheesecake better - it kicked haagen dazz off the playing field. In summertime this place will be heaving I’m sure and not bothered about reviews good or bad.

Visited on rainy May bank holiday expecting it to be fairy quiet but it was actually very busy with many families using the play facilities and ice cream parlour, brilliant for Latchetts. Unfortunately the ice cream counter was quite bare but still had enough choice. The staff member serving us was disengaged, never made eye contact, was sullen with no smiles, no enjoy your ice cream etc. She dripped chocolate sauce all down the side of the pot & when asked if she could pop it in another container so that we didn't get sauce all over our hands it seemed such a hardship! Hands were used to pick up and put the wafer/biscuits into the ice cream...no gloves? Overall the staff were a let down, there was no joy in purchasing the ice cream. A disappointing experience with poor customer service. Such a shame, as the ice cream is really lovely.

After a fantastic walk we treated ourselves to an ice cream, however we found the staff bored, sullen and very slow, if they don't want to be there perhaps get a different job. I would hate to try and get one when it is busy!!! The actual ice cream is delicious.

Whilst my granddaughter loved the play barn and that was the main reason we went. I was appalled at the cost of the food. The food was nice but the price was extremely high for what they serve. I had a bacon and egg ciabatta, my daughter had a sausage ciabatta and my 2 year old granddaughter had a child’s sausage sandwich. My daughter and granddaughter had an apple juice and I had a Darjeeling tea. Now at the most the average cost in the area for freshly home produce food of this kind (we are locals) costs around £25 for this meal. We do eat out at these sorts of places and have love home sourced produce. I purchased 2 cards of the local area which were £2.50 each adding £5 to my bill. My total bill came to £53. 38 making our food £48.38!! Absolutely outrageous for what we had that makes each sandwich and drink £16.12 each roughly!! How can they justify that?? Obviously the child sandwich should be less!! There were no side bits on the plate, no salad, no crisps just the ciabatta!!! We then went and bought an ice cream in the ice cream parlour which is £3.50 for a single scoop plus 50p for sprinkles, or any topping! That’s in a tub, if you want a cone it goes up. That’s pretty standard though. The activities are reasonably priced but not do they get you on the food. I suggest taking a picnic!!

We visited as 3 families for a meet up. The kids had great fun in the inflatables, walking trail and park. The ice cream is absolutely delicious although be patient and queue for the ice cream. However we had lunch in the cafe a male member of staff shouted at us when we asked if we could clear a table ourselves as we could appreciate they were busy and continued to shout at people coming into the cafe because he couldn’t get passed them to clean our table. Then an older female member of staff shouted at the kids whilst we were preparing them in coats (7 of them) to go back out in the rain to play more. Saying they were annoying. Not an ideal place to work if kids are annoying to you. The younger female who took our orders was very friendly though. Visit the farm for sure and enjoy the facilities and ice cream but maybe not the cafe.

Just stopped off and had an apple and cinnamon ice-cream....it is absolutely delicious......will be back!!

Drove for an hour to get here with my family to pick pumpkins. The pumpkin field was lovely. However we went into the cafe afterwards for lunch and you have an older female member of staff shouting at children with muddy shoes and telling them to take them off (the floor was already caked in mud). My 3 year old nephew asked me why the lady was so rude! So we won’t be back, and we went to Sheffield Park Gardens for lunch instead which was much more child friendly and amazing service there- I recommend it. I don’t expect to go to a farm and take my shoes off in the cafe… very odd.

Nice little farm, easy parking and pretty location. The tearoom could be amazing with some serious renovations. The server was friendly and the pot of tea well priced. The gelato parlour is nicely decorated with friendly enough if not over-enthusiastic staff. The biscotti was great but cheesecake flavour needed to be more cheesy!

I took my 1.5yr old here with some friends and their young children too, to visit doves play barn. In the under 5’s section my daughter was running around and went into the corner where the fire exit door is and leant against it. With this the door opened and she fell through it backwards, landing on rubble and concrete. Hitting her head and grazing her hand. She was obviously extremely upset and when I went to tell staff, I was greeted with a very insensitive and unbothered tone then they said she must have opened it! She cannot physically even reach the push bar if she tried! There was no offer of any first aid or any assistance whatsoever! It took the staff member 3 times slamming the door extremely hard to get it shut which suggests the door is faulty! My daughters clothes were damaged and she was covered in dirt which along with her being very upset, resulted in us leaving our friends there and going home! I decided to privately message doves play barn on their Instagram to share my upset over this and they had the audacity to read my message and completely ignore it! Do not take your children to doves play barn, it’s dangerous and the staff do not care!

We had a wonderful experience here, the staff were lovely and the atmosphere was really calm. We went sunflower picking and my children had a great time! We will be back for pumpkin picking and camping!

Lovely ice-cream parlour, brilliant choice of flavours and treats. Their mocha coffee is also delicious. Staff are friendly and helpful, especially Collette. Would recommend and return.

We visit family in the area every year and latchett’s is a place we always go to. The scenery is beautiful and the ice cream is amazing. We’ve not played golf or done any other activities as it’s so expensive for each activity. The ice cream is amazing offering many different flavours and it’s always exciting waiting, however, the staff in there are rude and it really spoils the experience. I also got an eye roll from one of the girls for asking if my daughter could also have chcocolate sauce on her ice cream (before I’d laid and whilst she was still putting the sauce on mine so it was still right next to her and wouldn’t have been an inconvenience at all). If the staff were friendly it would really make a difference because you can see awkward looks on other customers faces due to the rudeness.

I absolutely love this ice cream parlour! There are so many flavours and every time I have been there has been different ones. The staff are also very friendly

We popped in to experience the much talked about ice cream and were not disappointed. Passion Fruit Pavlova, Biscoff and Chocolate all went down a treat. We then had a wander round the sunflower/pumpkin field. Will be going back for the mini golf.

Visited here on a slightly damp Saturday. Did the trail £5 adults. £2.50 over 5s, and had a lovely walk. We then came back and had ice cream and the kids played in the park. Will definitely be back. I bet it’s a lovely place to come in the summer.

Unfortunately the queue was so long on the bank holiday that we gave up. Kids were very disappointed. I think they should of got an extra stall/cabin to sell icecreams for use in holidays.

We have visited Latchetts Farm a couple of times recently in family groups. The range of ice cream options is exceptional, and the ice cream itself is great quality with stunning flavours and a real creaminess. There are other food options available such as cookies and cakes, but the ice cream is the main attraction. The staff are all really helpful and friendly, and the portions served are more than acceptable. We sat outside at the tables provided and enjoyed the country surroundings. For the younger children there is a small play area which seems popular and is close enough to allow remote supervision whilst you enjoy your ice creams!! My aim is to sample one of every flavour by the end of this summer!!

This place is an absolute gem! I would recommend to anyone who enjoys ice cream. Plenty of beaches, play area for the little ones, nature walk & yummy ice cream.

Beautiful surroundings, the best ice cream ever tasted , we had breakfast at the tea room food was good and the service was excellent

We went here for the ice cream which of course is amazing. However we also found when we got there about the nature trail. This was a fun added extra and my kids loved walking round.

The perfect end to quite a few walks over the last couple of months . Well organised system to cope with restrictions. Ice cream and brownies so good you have to keep going back to try more flavours ;-) Staff always friendly and helpful. Thanks...

We had a really lovely family afternoon making our own ice cream and chocolate bars at Latchetts. The ice cream is delicious and made with their own cows’ milk. The boys enjoyed the inflatable. We’ll definitely be back. 👍😃

Latchetts Farm is actually quite near Danehill rather than Uckfield as the name suggests. The staff are welcoming, friendly and accomodating. The ice cream is really lovely and made with their own Jersey Cow milk. A variety of rare, and delicious tastes, and plenty of...

We arrived at Latchetts Creamery and were faced with 18 different flavours of ice cream and sorbets. The ice cream is absolutely delicious made with their own cows milk and you get loads!!! Return visits are a must and I’ve used their takeaway boxes too....

Quite simply the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted. Such a warm and friendly environment - great for kids as there are things to keep the small ones entertained. I love the fact that every time I go down there’s a new flavour to try......
