Slaters Ices in Pendle

I came across Slaters when looking at a map of the area. I've never been to this part of Nelson before, but having looked at their Facebook page and seeing their ice creams my mind was easily made up. We went just after 1pm on a Wednesday afternoon and had a regular vanilla ice cream cone and a large cookies and cream and battenburg ice cream cone (2 flavours on one cone). The flavours were amazing and we would definitely return to try more.

Eric slater made the best ice cream in the Nelson ,utter rubbish ,he made the best ice cream in all of England , a very delightful chap my dad new him reasonably well ,he fixed one of his machines for him once ,i only have one regret about slaters ice cream,i wish i could get my hands on his raspberry vinegar it was the best sauce ever and complimented his ice cream perfectly ,Eric hit the nail on the head when it came to making ice cream. i often think about my youth when i could hear oranges and lemons ,straight into the house dad can i have ice cream ,my dad would say yes ill have a cream and cream ,happy days

Every time I visit Nelson I always call in at Slaters for an ice cream.Used to go every week when I lived in Barrowford. The best ice cream in the world!

Visited on Monday afternoon after looking for an ice cream place as we were passing the area, service is great and the woman is lovely but THE BEST ice cream we’ve had!! Between us both we tasted bubblegum, strawberry, honeycomb and toffee fudge but we had to agree homeycomb a favourite of ours. Will be back if in the area again soon, thankyou!

If you want the best ice cream go to skaters ice cream bar, they serve the best knickerbocker glory's ever made.

If you want ice cream definitely the place to visit. Full of flavour and good quality. Families of all age will love slaters ice cream

We have been fans of Slaters ice cream for more years than I care to recall. The standard and taste has never varied. I'm not really a lover of ice-cream, or at least of the plethora of commercial brands but if we see a shop advertising Slaters ice cream we will go in to buy some and if we happen to be in Nelson we will always call in the parlour for a cornet or a wafer. We had a serendipity moment the other month when we saw the Slaters van stopped in a local village and serving customers. It was an incredible "Would you believe it?" moment. It had been an unseasonable warm afternoon and, as I drove along, I had been thinking "I could just eat a Slaters ice-cream" and there was the van! I stopped the car and learnt that it comes round that village at roughly the same time on Sundays. I bought a double cornet with a chocolate flake and a couple of family size tubs to take home - which we are still enjoying. What's not to love about that?

Fantastic little place, been running for years and well worth a visit if your ever in the area. Traditional ice cream and fantastic staff.

love the icecream,it tastes great.dont love the price.i spent almost £10 for 5 icecreams not worth it for young kids who drop over themselves.

Great ice cream made on the premises. Good range of flavours. Ice cream van also operates in the local area.

Bijou type ice cream parlour. Great flavours and service. I would recommend even just a flying visit

Delish! I don't often eat ice cream because I'm not a big fan, Slater's ice cream is the only ice cream I love!!!

Only had the ice cream but still has the unique taste and texture I recall from my childhood in Nelson .yummy raspberry sauce drizzles down the top and side.

There's not many places like this left in the uk things haven't changed much here and that's a good thing it's tricky to find but when you get there it's worth it the choice of ice cream is good and the taste is even better

Luckily we have always lived near enough to be frequent visitors it's an ice cream lovers paradise, not forgetting amazing fudge too. Be warned once tried other ice cream doesn't hit the spot!

Excellent proper ice cream tastes delicious we love it. Sit in or take away. Would recommend to anyone xx

Slaters is a fantastic ice cream company - family run for generations, friendly and best of all the variety of home made ice cream. We always have it after our roast dinner on a sunday (they are open between 1400 and 1730 on a sunday).

Wow. The ice cream served here is wonderful so creamy with absolutely loads of different flavours to try, I could spend all day in here. Excellent treat for your young ones

Slaters continues to make the best Ice cream. They've been around for years and it shows. The shop isn't much to look at but it's a throwback to a time that's been forgotten. Even in cold weather this Ice cream is amazing!

As far as ice cream goes Slaters is up there with the best, established in 1945, they still use the original recipe using local cream etc. We have eaten ice cream all over the world and Slaters is 'simply the best'

Lovely icecream on a sunny day. We had 3 icecreams and some home made fudge. Very busy little place well worth the visit.

My children love the ice-cream from here and I like to buy the fudge as presents. Recently treated my class to 99s from the ice-cream van and they loved sitting in the sun enjoying their delicious treat!!!

The best ice cream around! Stop moaning about the price! You can taste the difference!! Slaters staff are always friendly and pleasant to talk to. Go there at least once a week!! They also do really nice coffees!

Here is a small company that make not look very imposing but keep their customers be the quality of their product. Now in several flavour their rich ice cream will be hard to neat,

Definitely a good reason to visit Chatburn! It's been a local feature for (probably) generations. A bit of real old England in the best ice cream tradition!

I've been eating Slaters Ice cream all my life and it's the yummiest outside Italy ..need to get a tub or two for my freezer

Lovely local made ice cream. Only sells in own shop and van though which means you have to travel to the shop to taste their delights.

What a treat to pop over to the ice cream shop for a treat. Only a small shop but always busy with delicious ice creams and plenty of flavours.

Slaters make great ice cream. Pity about the customer service, no notice displayed when shop is GOING to be CLOSED if you are lucky there might be a notice in the window when they might reopen, but no PRIOR NOTICE

Lovely ice cream from here. Many years ago there was a café attached which was always busy. Wish it was still there.

I have eaten Slater's ice cream since being a little girl in the 1950s. Slater's started just after WW2 and to this day still make their ice-cream to the original recipe in their works on Cross Street Nelson, where their shop is. A lot of Nelsoners think it is the best ice cream in the world, I suppose we are biased but I have never tasted any better. When I was a child they only made vanilla ice cream but now this family business sells a selection of traditional flavours. Ice cream and cream with a flake and strawberry sauce was always a firm favourite when indulging in the like was not considered unhealthy. As well as selling a wide range of cones and wafers take away tubs from small up to family size ones are sold. Slaters also make their own fudge and chocolate brownies

Slaters ices have been going for as long as I can remember this is the best Ice cream you can get in this area it's well worth a visit we try and call there nearly every weekend or if we see their van out and about we use to call in at their coffee bar in the 60's when we were courting it was a pity it closed go and get yourself an Ice Cream you won't be disappointed

Just a perfect product best ever home made ice cream also fudge to die for you cannot do anything but very slaters ices

The ice-cream and coffees are absolutely amazing and all at a very low price! Lovely staff and everything was delicious.

Slaters is simply the best ice cream on the planet. Treat yourself; you won't regret it as the taste is just gorgeous

Went for the first time yesterday as been recommended. It was the best ice-cream ive ever had !! far better than the most expensive supermarket stuff . Really filling for a small amount. Fantastic to see a business still going after so many years . Highley recommend it.

I took my daughter here as one of several occasions. Very small ice-cream parlour but the ice-cream was worth the wait. Battenburg flavour is a must! Not cheap but still worth it.

My husband & I have been visiting Slater's on a regular basis for at least 45 years. When we first went there there was a cafe behind the ice cream area. It was always full on Saturdays, we & lots of other people, used to enjoy pie & peas followed by a chocolate nut sundae. We talk about it often, it was a happy memory. The cafe has long since closed but nowadays, the ice cream is just as delicious as it was in those days! You can still have a chocolate nut sundae to eat in or take away. Mmmm! There are other delicious flavours too. Oh I must mention the fudge which is made by Slater's too, that also is a real treat.

Have been enjoying Slater's ice cream for at least 63 years and I now live in north America and have never found a better ice cream. Whenever I am lancashire a slaters ice cream treat is a must for me.

I know that many ice cream manufacturers claim to make the best ice cream in the world, but I do honestly believe that Slaters ice cream could beat them all. It's so rich & creamy & not watery like a lot of them. Slaters was well known in Nelson when I was a small girl, there was a cafe there, we used to go every Saturday lunchtime for pie & peas & a chocolate nut sundae. Alas times have changed & the cafe is no longer there, Slaters changed hands , but they use the same recipe to make the ice cream. The chocolate nut sundaes are to die for! There are a few small tables if you fancy eating in. The fudge is also good!

This is the most delicious ice cream I have ever had it is scrumptious and simply every body should have it! When you go here you really have to get vanilla as it is easily the best flavour perhaps bar raspberry ripple !

This ice cream parlor is part of local history, and they are still producing the best ice cream, and that to me means everything.
