Red Boat Ice Cream Parlour in Isle of Anglesey

Yummy. So many choices of ice cream. If the queue looks long don’t worry as it moves fast. I had apple crumble ice cream. Staff behind the counter were polite and efficient

A lovely place to pick up an ice cream. Plenty of delicious flavours to choose from, which are made from local ingredients. You can also grab a coffee/cuppa and a light bite.

Delicious ice cream when in beaumaris. Would highly recommend calling here for home made ice creams when visiting beaumaris.

Best place for ice cream around, queuing out the door! There are loads of flavours but they don't always have them all on display! I have to come here every time I'm in Anglesey

Whilst the ice creams looked very nice, the other food is very nice too. My wife and I each had a baguette, which was freshly made and beautifully moist. We followed this with a crepe each, and again these were freshly made whilst we waited and beautifully cooked. Nice staff too. Highly recommended.

Excellent choice and fast service. Eaton mess was superb. Eat in or run the seagull gauntlet along the seafront across the road.

Just a quick drop in here on our first visit to Beaumaris. What a find! The cleanest ice cream parlour/cafe I’ve ever seen. Everything was gleaming! The staff were so cheerful too. Lots of different flavoured ice creams on pristine display, we regretted not tasting them but I have to say the coffee was delicious and the loose leaf tea was excellent. We are going back to Beaumaris in the summer and will definitely revisit this delightful ice cream parlour again!

You can’t go to Beaumaris without stopping in here! Every imaginable flavour of icecream served in extra large portions. Really friendly staff and lots of other bits for grown ups to enjoy. They even have a baileys milkshake! I enjoyed a cup of tea and it was made with fresh leaves. A lovely experience all round.

Delicious ice cream. Lots of choice and options for toppings. Exceptionally clean. Would come again.

We called in after visiting the Castle. The staff were welcoming and there was seating available. An amazing selection of wonderful ice creams. The coffee was good as was the hot chocolate. The price was very reasonable

Amazing ice cream, so full of flavour. Sat inside with our dogs who were welcomed and a big fuss was made of them, they loved it. My hubby had a scone and it was warm, which wa lovely, he had a milkshake, well 2 as I did the order wrong. Haha, then I had a sundae , all of which were delicious

Visited on a very busy day in school holidays. Queue was long but the wait was fine. It is expensive especially if upgrading the cone or adding a flake etc but the quality is very good. Loads of flavours and the biscoff was amazing. My only wish is that there was a list of flavours to read as when you get.to the front of the queue it is hard to see what choice there is. They also so savoury stiff and milkshakes etc which I would like to try. Staff friendly. Prob my favourite ice cream of the holiday.

Great place, nice staff and fair prices for great ice cream. It tends to get busy here in the summer but the queue soon goes down and it's well worth the wait.

Wow! We were blown away by how amazing this ice cream experience was! Honestly the ice cream is some of the nicest I’ve had in the world, and that includes Italy! The banana custard flavour was a massive highlight. They have flavours to appeal to kids and adults alike, and cones with sprinkles really appealed to my kids. We visited three times in our two week stay on Anglesey and it was such a highlight. Thankyou Red Boat for helping make our holiday memorable!

Visited many times and never had a bad ice-cream. Amazing choice of flavours but my favourites still remain the salted caramel and the trifle. There are usually queues in the summer but it's worth the wait. The only issue I have is that they always seem to need more staff.

Twice we visited this week you can't fault the ice cream best anywhere in the whole of the UK in my opinion.

Great place, so much choice! Can sit in or tables outside. Ice cream is lovely!! Dog friendly too. Options for coffees and savoury snacks as well as ice cream but that is the highlight

Exceptionally wide range of flavours to choose from. Very busy but queue moved quickly. Delicious generous scoop of Biscoff flavoured ice cream. Thanks also for the warning about the hungry ice cream pinching seagulls.

We’ve been staying in Beaumaris for over a week and have stopped by Red Boat far too many times! Selection of flavors is far superior to most ice cream or gelato spots. Ruby chocolate!

Visited 19.05.23 been before a few years back so had to do a return. Ice cream is awesome so much choice you will not be disappointed. Price wise in comparison to other ice cream venders is more, but your paying for decent and tasty ice cream therefore if you want decent stuff come here, if you don’t want decent ice cream then you can walk on by (however you will regret it) Awesome, awesome, awesome will always revisit

£5.50 for 2 scoops ? Nice ice cream but come on guys , everywhere else is doing 3 scoops for £5. Pricing structure seems a bit over indulgent

We visited on a day trip and went in for an ice cream - we had the raspberry ripple. Having had a LOT of gelato and ice cream in my life I’d say this was mediocre. The vanilla had very little taste, but the raspberry had a nice zing - but all in all three star at best. It was also a little off putting as a number of the ice cream trays looked like they only had a couple of portions left, so felt we were having the last dregs. We try and support local businesses but would not visit here again.

It would be a 5, but unfortunately the portion sizes have significantly decreased since our last visit! Good choice of flavours of icecream. Quick service.

Get your ice cream here not on front kiosk, amazing array of flavours at a good price, staff helpful and friendly.

Don't let the long queues put you off, service is speedy and the ice creams are more than worth a little queue. Plenty of flavours to choose from, reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

Expensive but good, multiple flavours , from common to exotic, good imagination. Very busy with queues at times . Is it worth ? Yes as a treat.

The best ice cream in the world. Daily changing flavours and always excellent. I come at every year just to get my fix. Raspberry panacotta flavour this year a particular highlight. Congratulations guys x

We’ve visited a few times now and I can’t fault them. Our eldest loves their different flavours of ice cream and our youngest has a lot of allergies. I just asked if they had anything suitable and they couldn’t have been more helpful. They even...

Quick service, fabulous selection, prices where perfect not over priced for a tourist area, recommend

Fantastic ice-cream and sorbet options. I was so pleased to see that they are even offering dairy-free alternatives. Usually I have to go for the sorbets for this reason but they are always fruit flavoured. At my visit to Red Boat, they had 3 dairy-free...

Lovely ice-cream (and good baguettes) but they need a bigger shop! Friendly service and we did manage to sit down.

Amazingly delicious ice cream. Huge choice of flavours, excellent friendly & helpful staff and return on every visit to Beaumaris. Dogs allowed in the shop to make your selection. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Delicious flavours, all the usual favourites plus some extras ( sea buckthorn or Bakewell tart anyone?). Very friendly service. Several (coconut based) dairy free options. Best ice cream ever.

The ice cream at Red Boat was absolutely delicious, very creamy and smooth. Would definitely recommend the Devon Toffee Fudge flavour. We were also very impressed with how well Red Boat catered for dietary requirements. Gluten free cones are available for coeliac customers. The server...

Whilst I was in Beaumaris I popped into @redboaticecreamparlour , not once or twice but three times! The choice or flavours was incredible and on a hot sunny day it was the perfect snack! Who doesn't love ice cream in the sun??? The flavours we...

After an afternoon in Beaumaris my friend and I decided to get an ice cream before returning home. Not expecting Italian quality ice cream we were more than surprised, more than happy with what we had. There’s a great choice of flavours and we were...

Lovely ice cream and always 5 star friendly polite service. They have different flavours every time I visit and always have vegan/dairy free options available as well, and staff are always very patient if it takes you a while to make up your mind or...

On a recent mini-break to Beaumaris we happened on this hidden gem. As we walked around the castle exterior we decided to have a break and this cafe gave us a perfect vantage point with comfy seats and cushions overlooking the bowling green. The ladies...

recommend toasted teacakes and panini, don't get salad or anything but plenty of filling in panini. Will visit again when in Beaumaris.

We were recommended this place and I have to say the ice cream was amazing ! a range of different flavours from jelly bean to Nutella and cake ! Deffo try this place out.

Spectacularly good ice cream. Worth sitting outside and savouring the ice cream (and thereby avoiding the seagulls) Truly delicious

Fantastic little ice cream shop, loads of different flavours and delicious ice cream, friendly staff and great service, recommend to anyone

This is a traditional seaside ice cream shop. The ice cream taste and choice was excellent. Ice cream is one of the tastiest foods on the planet, and this shop is another great place to try the many wonderful flavours available.

Called in here on a lovely sunny January afternoon. We picked up a couple of cones and made our way towards the pier to eat them. As we made our way, we were attacked by about a dozen aggressive seagulls who were intent on getting...

good ice cram and nice staff lines are long but otherwise its brilliant and it is probably the best ice cream around

Big choice of ice cream flavours and also had dairy free options. Quick and friendly service. Particularly enjoyed Rolo, strawberries & cream and Bara Brith!

Clean and well ventilated. Staff friendly . Ordered waffles and ice-cream. Disappointed they cane in takeaway containers even though eating in and waffles not freshly made. Lots of ice cream flavours. We had various and they were ok. Bit underwhelmed tbh but been before and...

The ice cream here is amazing!!!! So delicious. I had the cherry bakewell and the pear sorbet and would highly recommend both!

Went in over the weekend and had a chocolate waffle cone with the chocolate flake flavour, it was delicious. There was loads of choice of flavours and I can see why there was a queue even on a chilly October afternoon.

Visited here 3 times whilst on holiday. There are a good variety of flavours to choose from and each time we visited we found the ice cream to be really good quality. Very creamy, good texture and plenty of flavour in each of them. Staff...

Haven't visited for a few months but had been a regular pit stop with the dogs and normally sit outside with them for our coffee after our walk ...not sure why things have changed but was disappointed to be served the coffee in a takeaway...

Such a large variety of flavours it was difficult to choose! I went for the chocolate flake and it was lovely.

We stopped to get an ice cream at the mini parlour in Menai Bridge - not as much choice as Beaumaris but plenty to chose from. The man serving was very friendly and the ice creams were lovely.

We went as a family, the ice cream was amazing. Our youngest managed to break his cone in half and the ice cream landed on the concrete outside, we went in to get him a little tub to cheer him up and the staff wouldn't...

It's funny how some establishments have queues around the block and others don't have anyone waiting at all. The wait here is totally justified (with you-know-what making it worse). There are some funny flavours, but the ones we tried were absolutely delicious. Biscoff and Bara...

Could tell when we arrived this must be a nice place with the queue outside. Went pretty quick. The most random flavour ice creams ever seen (who knew they made a bara brith ice cream!?) 5 of us had ice creams, £17 so not cheap,...

Five of us ordered five different kinds of ice cream and each one of us declared them to be delicious. Excellent service, helpful staff.

Love it here! Visit every time we’re in Anglesey. A must for any ice cream lover! Lots of flavors & generous portions! Great selection of flavours that they change regularly

Prices are bang on for what you get, a high quality desert that is definitely going to leave you wanting more.

We headed here on a recommendation. So glad we visited! The ice cream was lovely and the portions were very generous for the price. Dogs are welcome to queue inside which was nice and as we were leaving the server gave us a plane cone...

Delicious ice cream and great service. Excellent Covid protocols in place. Clean premises. I always visit, when I am in the area

We had been to Beaumaris Castle and wandering though town when we saw the Red Boat Ice Cream Shop and its wonderful array of ice creams. My wife was pleased to as they did gluten free options and cones as well, top marks. Choosing a...

Fantastic ice-cream and really good service. Cheap compared to other inferior places I've been to around the country. Just watch out for seagulls trying to steal it from your hands when you're on the seafront

Yes, the icecream is great, if you don't mind waiting 45 minutes in a queue. They serving staff are sooooo slow: 3 members of staff serving one customer at a time, even though families with kids are queueing around the block. So, a great ice...

It was a very hot week so there were inevitably queues. with issues of social distancing. The ice creams were very good as was the milk shake I had. The grandchildren wanted to go back which we did a couple of days later!

Delicious ice cream but the girl serving us this afternoon was incredibly rude. Such a shame as the ice creams are great but this girl had a serious attitude problem and no concept of customer service.

I went to Red boat parlour with my family recently. As expected, it was very popular, with a long queue outside. On entering, 3 different households milling around the ice cream display, with not a word from cashier. BUT, when I got to display, cashier...

Well worth the wait in the queue for amazing ice cream. Loads of different flavours - too many to pick. So we spoilt ourselves and had 2 different flavours each. To speed up the queuing, perhaps they could have a list of the flavours available...

Gwasanaeth gwael, i fod yn blaen annifyr! Does dim angen gweiddi! Very poor, frankly rude service my family and I didn’t care for being barked at to maintain social distance when we were the only customers in the shop and it was evident we were...

Peanut Butter and Jam ice cream... I love fun and imaginative ice creams and Red Boat don't disappoint. A great business and Beaumaris generally is looking great in the sunshine today.

There was a small queue but it was worth the wait. The ice-cream was delicious and a large choice of flavours! It was so nice to be able to enjoy high quality ice cream. So if you want to splash out on yummy ice cream...

Visited during our weeks holiday to Anglesey! And we’re so glad we found this gem! Plenty of choice, all ice cream is made locally I believe! They also have dairy free options😍

Best ice cream in the area - different flavours daily it's a shame there isn't a board outside with the daily flavours as you feel rushed making up your mind at the counter

Exceptionally delicious ice cream ! I highly recommend to try the ice cream. Get ready for waiting in a queue.

Even during these strange times The Red Boat still delivers. Friendly service and the best Ice cream anywhere. 😍♥️

We are staying in the town on holiday We called in one late afternoon the ice cream was lovely and not bad price £12.40 for 4 waffle cones with one scoop in each

Lovely ice cream when we eventually got served - but this place really needs to get a grip! Terrible slow service. Put a menu and prices at the entrance so customers can decide what they want while they are queuing, and get a system going...

Huge queue nearly all the time. Would’ve probably been quicker if no Covid to deal with. Safety measures good. No eating in due to Covid. Huge range of gelato. All with individual spatulas so no cross contamination. Gelato nut and egg free. Staff well aware...

We’ve taken many friends over the years to both the Red Boat Ice Cream parlour and the kiosk on Menai Bridge. It’s always a great success. The choice of flavours is fantastic. So pleased that the owners have opened up and followed all the government...

Fabulous business that has done so much for there local community during lockdown. They have put a lot of measures in place to keep people safe and always go the extra mile if you have any concerns. If your in Beaumaris I would recommend a visit.

Visited last week with my granddaughter, she always asks to go when she visits. Staff were, as always, friendly and polite. The young man on the door trying to ensure the queue was orderly and socially distancing. Felt safe once inside too. Well done 👍

Simply the best gelato flavours I’ve experienced, coffee is top notch as well - Beaumaris or ticket office in Menai Bridge.

My partner is originally from Beaumaris, with all of his family still living there, so we visit regularly. On my first trip it quickly became my favourite location, aided by the red boat (which was the first place he took me too as soon as we arrived!). Since then, we go to red boat every day we are there regardless of the weather, and you have never failed to disappoint! COVID was difficult for us as it was the longest time we had without visiting our favourite little island and our family; but we went back when the borders reopened and headed straight for a red boat just like before!It might be a little different with the new rules, but still amazing! The social distancing was some of the best I’ve seen, and it actually means there’s more room in the parlour to browse what we’re choosing! Always a silver lining!Thank you for being so fab, No idea where all the negativity comes from but I hope the reaction on Facebook and the other reviews on here don’t let it bring you down. See you soon! X

Best ice cream ever! Excellent customer service and great attention to social distancing guidelines! Highly recommend!

The ice cream is amazing, organised queuing and social distancing in this covid time extremely safe and well staffed to maintain safety. So what we had to queue? Ice cream is always worth it as it is the best ice cream in town!❤

Always amazing and always worth waiting for. Queues very carefully managed with social distancing and clear hygiene measures in place. We have sometimes tried ice cream elsewhere instead of waiting in line but the alternatives are nowhere near as good. All flavours are delicious - just wish they still did chocolate orange - my all time favourite!

Our favourite place to visit on a Sunday for the best Ice cream I've ever tasted. My husband always has vanilla but I love to try different ones each time. If we have friends staying, red boat is always top of the list of places...

We as a family often visit the Red Boat Ice Cream Parlour in the kiosk by the Pier in Menai Bridge for delicious ice creams and hot drinks. We were delighted they re-opened very soon after lockdown and are happy to support a local business....

Very friendly staff happy to help you choose from their amazing selection of ice-creams. You do have to queue but good things are worth waiting for!

We are regular visitors to this local business - and its branch in Menai Bridge. Always have a great service, lovely ice cream, and afternoon teas (pre-covid).

People queuing outside no social distancing . Blocking pavement. Management are responsible for policing this as they do at the corner bakery.Management should help protect and have responsibility to help protect their local residents.If necessary a member of staff in turns should police people making sure social distancing is maintained.

The best Ice cream I’ve had! Lots of delicious flavours to chose from, I had blackcurrent cheesecake! We visit every time we go to Anglesey & recommend !

Lovely ice cream parlour, friendly staff and excellent social distancing regulations; highlight without a doubt was the bara brith ice cream, and the almond ice cream was also delicious! Definitely recommended for a special and locally made treat.

I think this might be the best ice cream I have ever eaten, and yes I have been to Italy. A lovely friendly establishment, the owners clearly have a passion for top quality gelato. The Red Boat is now an essential stop on all our family trips to North Wales.

Stopped off here to enjoy a nice coffee while we waited for a boat trip. Lovely coffee and ice cream and friendly staff. Would recommend.

The day after cafes, bars and restaurants are told to close, this place had it's tables outside, less than two metres apart. And of course people were sitting there. Disgraceful, profiteering at it's best! We won't ever use this establishment

Fantastic ice cream Thought it would be nice to take some away Be warned it’s £18 a litre which must make it the most expensive ice cream in the country

We went in here twice during our stay in Beaumaris. Both times the ice-cream was excellent, it would take a few more visits to try all the flavours. What impressed me most was the quality of the service. Its usual for the young staff to be OK, in this case they were all excellent. We were served with a smile and a little bit of chat and explanation, another family near us had a child with allergies, the young man serving could not have been more helpful to them. You can't train people to be great at service, the staff had it in abundance, they were all a credit to you, well done!

Called in and was struggling to decide what flavour to have extremely clean and very friendly staff too and the price is fantastic too plus you get loads of ice-cream for your money. Will definitely be calling back on our next visit as my 3 kids did nothing but go on about it lol see you all soon

Excellent cafe serving home made ice cream and waffles. Also sells light meals and cakes. And the coffee is excellent. Get there early - the queues are long in the summer. The staff are great too. Stayed in Beaumaris for a week and visited every day!
