Snugburys in Cheshire East

Farmhouse Ice cream Outlet. Lovely rich fresh ice cream, the variety of ice cream flavours are amazing. We tried the Pumpkin spiced, Sloe & Gin, Ginger & Honey & they were yummy.

I saw the review about the circus but believe this was nothing at all to do with Snugburys. They just provided the ground so it’s very unfair to give this wonderful family business one star. I went to the circus with my grandson and he loved it. What he loved even more was the ice cream!! And the amazing 50’ Paddington. How did they make that.

It's with a heavy heart. I have to write thid sad news. Sadly I missed the circus last year, so this year, based on last year's pictures/ videos, and this year's promotional marketing material to advertise the tickets, I booked tickets to come this year with my mum and 2 children. We arrived this year, with my panda mad 6 year old, (this boy has over 30 panda stuffed toys and ma to be very disheartened to NOT see the panda, as advertised. My son was very upset, to say the least. As was I, having commuted over an hour to visit you, even the chocolate brownie ice cream couldn't console his disappointment. It's simply not fair to advertise something that didn't happen. Just thought you should know our feelings, maybe don't advertise it like thus next year if no panda is visiting the event. I've thought about putting my feelings forward since visiting that afternoon, and i wrote directly to Snugburys. As of yet, they've not actually acknowledged my message or given an explanation. We've been many times over the years for ice cream and to see the figures but I don't think I'll bother again, as it seems they don't really care what their customers think.

Nice ice cream and the Paddington sculpture is brilliant. Let down though by being cashless/card only! I think it's disgusting that this place won't accept cash and I avoid any such places. I wouldn't have come had I known and won't be returning on this basis. Also, I felt so sorry for the very lonely pigs and goat! Pigs and goats are social/pack animals, however each one was kept alone in their own separate field. It was very telling that each animal was next to the fence - they obviously desperately needed some interaction. I heard other people were concerned that these animals were alone too. Treat your animals properly and give them some company like they are supposed to have, and don't take away people's right to pay with cash!

This place really is great Ample free car parking Great choice of ice creams Great value Plentiful toilets Little animal farm Little wildlife walks Some funny bits, like a giant chair Various animals made if straw etc on a little walk Huge sculpture Plenty of picnic areas We had a nice afternoon

When the young staff finally served us (after tearing themselves away from their phones) they charged us twice after telling us it hadn’t gone through the first time (which it had) They called for a “supervisor” who was as much use as a pair of sunglasses on a man with 1 ear. He told us we hadn’t been charged twice (yes we had, it showed twice as paid on our banking app) and that it would just “sort itself out”. We were then told if it doesn’t sort itself out we should just pop back for a refund. When we informed him that we weren’t from the area, he told us we’d have to call head office then…….then he walked off

Disappointing. Went here last year and had pistachio ice cream; not much flavour and later had a stomach upset. Returned this April and bought an expensive small tub of banana flavour ice cream, but certainly didn't taste of banana. My partner loves their various cones, but I won't be partaking again.

Enjoyed at Dunham Massey. 3 sisters setting up an ice cream business locally run on solar energy - what’s not to love. As for coming up with the idea if Creme brûlée flavour - genius!

We go hear a lot over the summer months for the amazing creams and bit of a stroll around. Parking is fine but can be very busy hear, adults love the huge helpings and the little uns love it as it’s ice cream. Great grounds Great parking Great ice creams Great cues (as long as it’s a nice day it’s ok, as wonder past the house and the big trees and into the cobbled grounds)

Fantastic experience!!!! Ice cream was of the higest quality... 100 recommend nothing comes close!!! Cant wait to go again🍧🍨🍦

OMG! This was the best decision I ever made to stop somewhere! Don’t drive past - go in! There are soooo many flavours to choose from - it’s difficult I warn you! BUT wow! The flavours are amazing! Best ice cream I have had in so long! Staff are friendly and welcoming. Parking easy and on site. All round lovely place!

Lovely rich fresh ice cream, the variety of ice cream flavours are amazing. We tried the Pumpkin spiced, Sloe & Gin, Ginger & Honey & they were yummy.

In the area with friends who know this place well. Wide choice of delicious ice creams. Very generous portions and felt to be good value. Would have liked napkins and spoons to be readily available with cornets as immediately started melting, so quite drippy down cornet/hand/front of shirt! Glad it wasn't a really hot day. If we'd been going home and had a freezer available, would have purchased some tubs to go home. Would be very happy to visit again; actually may insist on it next time we visit our Cheshire friends.

Visited yesterday as we were in the area. Agree with the comments of the reviewer from May who stated that the taste is not as good. I agree with them that the quality of the ingredients has dropped. Whilst the ice cream is the same, I had the honeycomb option and there was not even one small piece of honeycomb in it and absolutely no honeycomb taste. If I had not bought it myself I would have had no idea what the flavour was. We took it back to the car to eat as it started to pour with rain otherwise I would have returned to the shop and commented to them. Think we will be driving straight past when next in the area.

I always buy my ice cream from Snugburys. Today, after buying some tubs of ice cream I decided to try a milk shake from the pop up stall. There is a choice of vanilla, strawberry or chocolate. I had the strawberry one and it was absolutely delicious. The staff are, as always, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Amazing choice of flavours, we had cappuccino and it was excellent. Followed it with a coffee which was also top class. A little difficult to access on foot as no pavement on part of very busy A51.

What a totally gorgeous ‘find’. A walk along the canal was rewarded with 2 lovely ice creams. Even the drizzle didn’t dampen the visit and set us up for the walk back to Swanley.

This place sells lovely ice-cream many flavours to chose from . I have taken my niece here many times

We we’re staying in the area at Alvaston Hall and had driven past this place on trips out to Chester so decided to drop in one sunny afternoon. We were surprised to see how busy the place was for a Thursday afternoon. The choice of flavours available was mind blowing. If only you could have one of each but that would make for a very big ice cream cone 🤣. Very helpful and polite staff behind the counter. The giant bee sculpture out in the field was stunning. Only draw back we found was insufficient seating in the shaded areas of the courtyard. Would definitely recommend a visit here though if in the area.

Overpriced and not very flavoursome ice-cream, if you want a nice drive into the country buy your ice-cream from the stores, this is not very nice at all a big rip off really

My family have been coming to Snugburys for decades. The last 2 visits (March/April) have noticed a reduction of the added ingredients.. Honeycomb, Ginger, Chocolate, Pecan.etc. The basic foundation ice cream seems the same but the end product is now inferior. We have all noticed the difference. We are gutted. Plus the prices are getting higher and higher.

23 flavours of ice cream I counted not a single vegan option. Offered sorbet lol. This business needs to wake up it’s 2023.

If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend a visit to Snugburys It's no wonder that their ice cream has won awards Absolutely delicious I particularly like the Rum and Raisin and Raspberry Pavlova

We visited during the pumpkin picking experience and loved it. Pumpkins were reasonably priced and also had the option to toast marshmallows which was a nice touch. In addition the food from the food van on site and the snugpuds were amazing! Highly recommend.

For me, the best ice cream you can buy, no question. They’ve installed a drive-thru, which is a genius level move, and can be staffed on busy/quiet days depending. However, there’s nothing better than stretching your legs, going up to the farmhouse counter to order, before taking a stroll into the neighbouring field to visit the straw sculpture. Where else can you do that? Nowhere, that’s where.

This is the 2nd time I've visited Snugbury's and I absolutely adore the experience of visiting a green open space to eat ice-cream. Not only is the ice-cream prepared in the farm it is of the highest quality and standard. I look forward to this...

Visited on a Sunday whilst pick your own pumpkins were running. Lovely day, very busy but got there early. There was a huge field with plenty of pumpkins to choose from, all different sizes, shapes and colours. Our 4 year old had a great time!...

I’ve been coming here since i was a child and become very fond of the ice cream and surroundings. Soo much choice with ice cream flavours and they are delicious. My favourite is death by chocolate 😋. This place was a life saver in 2020...

We visited Snugbury's whilst on a narrowboat holiday. Wonderful ice cream chosen from a very extensive menu. Snugbury's is mentioned in a narrowboat guide and it is about a 10 minutes walk from the canal, however it is important to mention that you have to...

Ice cream was nice and tasty nice scenery in loads of wasps nice maze Bee statue in the middle of the maze nice flowers nice ice cream shop

Busy ice cream shop, unfortunately a limited choice of flavours available to buy on the day I visited due to popularity during the hot weather! Premium quality, this is reflected in the price.

Snugbury's is a useful stopping off point for a little light refreshment on a warm day. They offer an impressive array of dairy ice cream with everything from turkish delight to cookie dough, chocolate brownie to creme brulee. I noticed a vegan option too and...

They may have a Ukrainian flag on their flagpole, but when it comes to their service they have a very Russian attitude. I am a pensioner and Sunday being a hot but lovely day I decided to travel the 20 miles from my home to...

First time visitors... ice cream and short stroll both very nice, but I don't understand why anyone would be taking young kids for an ice cream so frequently (noted in other reviews) - it cannot be healthy!! Agree that they really do need to widen...

We stopped at Snugburys whilst on our travels to North Wales. A wonderful place with amazing ice cream, animals to visit (pigs and a a goat) and places to walk (the giant bee!). Absolutely recommended as a stop off or a regular visit if you're...

While staying locally for a short break we noticed an advert for Ice Cream so we called in the day we went it wasn’t busy at all but reading about the place I hear about massive queues, well we know why the choice unreal the...

Me and my family recently visited Snugbury's, we used to come a lot when we were younger and I no longer live in the UK so it was a great place for us all to visit and was very nostalgic! My 2 year old daughter...

Was very lovely, the prices were a little bit steep, but the amount you got was worth it for the price! Big SCOOPS! and was really tasty ice cream. Lots to choose from as well, so should keep everyone happy. Would have been nice to...

Had a very disappointing visit recently. The staff were very rude, the coffee was burnt and the ice cream was subpar the price. Will not be returning.

At the end of the river walk a small cafe and ice cream bar , but what a find. Very friendly and helpful staff. We opted for a ham and cheese sandwich AND it had PROPER ham, none of this as thin as you can...

Second 10% price increase this year 20% is pushing it to much £9 for two small ice creams but still a very nice weekly treat

Went there today with my daughter, utter chaos, far too many visitors for the small single track entrance to handle, no one directing traffic to the over flow car park. Disabled car parking was nowhere to be seen either. After queueing for fifteen minutes we...

I have experienced ice cream in the UK this is number 1. You could eat here all day. I did. Pricey but worth it. Stick with this place those that live near here are very fortunate. 😋.

We were on our way to Chester when we stopped by to have ice cream. It was very delicious, very filling and the kids really enjoy it. We will visit it again.

We took a detour to visit, after hearing good things from friends. The ice cream was nice enough with a good selection of flavours. However, we live around an hour away and would say it was not worth the journey for us on its own....

Was recommended to visit this place by a friend. As we were in the area passing by we gave it a go and were not disappointed. Lots and lots of different flavours to choose from, I ended up have a double scoop of rum and...

Perfect journey stop! Beautiful surroundings, friendly staff, delicious ice cream with lots of interesting flavour choices. Loved it and will be back.

Easy to find shop off the A51. Has a good sized free carpark, shop has a vast array of flavours to order icecream to go or to buy in 750ml size tubs to take home. Area to sit down and eat your icecream cone on...

Amazing homemade from the farm ice cream. Beautiful setting great for kids and families. Fun  giant bumblebee in the Extra car park. Even a couple of animals in the field next to the car park

Visited here this morning. Firstly the lady serving was so helpful and very friendly. Everything was clean and well kept (including the toilet areas). Covid regulations being followed. There are plenty of various flavours of ice cream to choose from. We have been here quite...

We always have stopped off at Snugburys whenever passing through to Cheshire, it's a huge favourite of mine. It's changed quite a bit since we last visited around two years ago. The ice cream is still delicious, the texture is lovely and creamy - but...

Based just 4 miles from where we were staying, we promised ourselves a trip to Snugbury’s as we passed its entrance each day to/from our hotel. Today we popped in and both had a double scoop of creme brulee ice cream. It was the best...

We very much enjoyed a double scoop - Rum & Raisin, Raspberry Pavlova, and a couple of coffees. We sat in the courtyard and even a drop of rain didn't spoil our visit. I asked the assistant whereabouts the path back to the canal could...

went for ice cream during the recent nice weather. we were really looking forward to it has id not been for few yrs and really enjoyed my ice cream it was truly gorgeous the nicest id ever had. different story this time mine just tasted...

We took a walk along the canals, and stopped off for Ice Cream. This place is really not setup for people to walk too. Very little seating for the number of people, most people seems to stay with their car. Ice cream is good, queues...

Nice icecream, not the cheapest. Long queues during lock down, but at least somewhere to take the family. Would recommend as a trip out. They also have a big hay structure.

The drive through worked really well. Always great ice cream. Highly recommended a trip out, the biggest issue is the traffic when leaving

Hyped up on Instagram Drive through open until 5.00pm Reality closed before 4.30pm even though me and my 2 year old granddaughter arrived at 4pm to see the pigs and get an ice cream. After pleading with the staff I was still turned away. Disappointing!!...

Lovely ice cream, great selection and we will be back! Homemade ice cream served by polite staff, and lovely planted welcoming area.

ice cream heaven! we, as a family group visited, each trying a different flavour, I tried banoffee and mocha and was amazed, more so that my grand-daughter helped me eat it!

We came to the area for the week and had not had time to visit! We ended up doing a sneaky 10.30 am visit on the way back! Guilty pleasure but absolutely worth it. I was in heaven! Very good ice cream and flavours!

We called here when we were on our canal holiday. I wouldn't recommend it as it was a long walk and some of it was on the side of a busy major road. They certainly don't like or encourage anyone to come if you are...

Stopped on the way back from a camping trip, having visited several times before. The icecream was as always delicious, with many flavours to choose from. The carpark was not too busy, and the queue moved swiftly with social distancing maintained.

I arranged to meet my cousin with her two young children who were 3 and 2 years old with my 3 and 7 year old. We'd both driven 35 minutes each and when we arrived at 10.30am we then parked and went to walk to...

Ice cream is lovely, but it would be nice if the young girl that served us at the drive through was a bit happier also I’m disgusted to think that parking is in such a bad state! Surely when you charge so much for ice...

Not far from we are staying Plenty of parking and not to long to wait in the shop Enjoyed walking to see the giant bee Will go again

We called in here today, around 5pm. The choice was brilliant, service was quick and good, the prices reasonable too! Just remember your mask for going into the shop 😊 The ice cream was divine, we all enjoyed it! There’s a drive thru now if...

We had been Snugburys before but since Covid we decided to go through the drive thru. There are many flavour options and the portion sizes given were huge and definitely value for money! A big tub for £5 to take home was very good value....

On our way home from camping in the area, we stopped off at Snugburys for an ice cream. They had a fabulous drive through facility and the choice of ice cream flavours were wonderful. I opted for two scoops on a sugar cone, choosing Salted...

Took a trip here today with my daughter. We went in the shop. Ordered ice cream. Which was handed over then was told they couldn't accept cash. There was no sign on the entrance saying card only. The lady who served me was so rude....

We arrived at Snugburys with my Granddaughter & my husband. The timings were all wrong for the opening times. Went into the parlour to purchase ice creams, 4 youngsters serving! They did not greet us, we did all the talking, ask for serviettes got blue...

Spotted this place on the way somewhere and discovered drive through ice cream is trending in Cheshire! Also discovered its near the canal so decided to walk...via bridge 2 Martins Bridge on the Llangollen Canal. The route was relatively easy if a little overgrown but...

Great day out in the sun. Took my wife and brothers-in-law who’d never been before. The drive-through option was perfect during these covid times. Easy to social distance and grab delicious ice creams quick. Will definitely come again, (weather permitting of course!).

Great Ice Cream! Worth the long queue on a hot day. Love the honeycomb flavour! The clotted cream flavour is amazing also!

We called at Snugburys as we’d heard there was now a drive thru. Traffic is busy, the drive to the car park is only just wide enough for two cars to pass and is not sufficient for the amount of traffic that the drive thru...

Best ice cream ever! so so so good . We took an hour trip to get there and it was worth it! We nearly wasn’t let in but luckily they let us because we mentioned we’d travelled over an hour . Got there about 30...

Snugburys Ice cream should be closed by the Highways agency. They have no correct entrance/exit strategy which causes unnecessary delays (30 minutes to travel 0.2 of a mile! Disgraceful attitude by the owners who are rude anyway.

Great ice cream, loads of variety and they don’t skimp on the portions. Snugburys didn’t use to have the best ice cream but a few years back I reckon they changed the recipe and now it’s excellent (well done the new managers!) The only downside...

Called in for a snugpud on Friday,the waffles weren’t available so me and partner had the brownie with one scoop of different ice cream on each one, I can honestly say it was the most bland ice cream we have ever had,no flavour to either...

Very good for families and children. We stopped off on the way to Wales and had a little walk with the ice cream. This years theme is bumblebees.

Visited at the weekend, walked up to see the bee, then went to buy icecream. The place does lack some tlc and the icecream was not as nice as we were lead to believe. The girls behind the counter was quite abrupt and didn't look...

Really loved it here. They even had a snugbury hut for the cold weather so you can enjoy your ice cream. Loads of variety. Really enjoyed it

The Ice Cream range was fascinating. There were many flavours to choose from and each time we go we tasted a different one. The flavour range were out of this world. In addition, they also have a little path to Peter Rabbit [which burnt down...

Went out for lunch two grown up daughters grandma and 2year old grandson.The visit to Snugburys was pudding! Excellent as ever , asked daughter to make sure she had bill right as it as it as so much less than I was expecting! Loads of...

Me and Hubby called in here yesterday afternoon (Monday). The Farm is located on the A51 Chester Road. Parking is free. We walked across the muddy field to take a closer look at the 40 feet tall bumble bee sculpture made of straw and black-dyed...

i liked the ice i felt that it was the best ice cream that i ever had. i loved the ice cream cone because it was the best.

We visit here as a family, all love the different flavours on offer, I think this ice cream is the best in the country and my grandchildren agree

We made a short detour from our planned route to go and see the straw sculpture for this year. A very large bee. Always worth going to see if you are in the area. The sculptures are always wonderful to see. While stooped you just...

We always stop here now en route when travelling from home in the East Midlands to North Wales. Amazing ice cream in a bewildering variety of lovely flavours. One minor complaint is that the website said they shut at 6.00pm, and we arrived at 5.05pm...

Always worth a visit here so much to choose from and always tastes great! Can buy to takeaway to big tubs

We pass by here regularly and are always amazed by the structures which they create. The 40ft bee is no exception. Well worth the visit just to take a stroll to take a closer look. There are loads of different flavours of ice cream to...

We visit every time we go to either Blackpool or Llandudno ,we absoloughtly love this place it's our favourite stop over to buy wonderful ice cream ,what ever age you have a treat here well worth visiting do not drive past

Wonderful place to stop and have picnic and see the latest hay monement...last years was peter rabbit , this yr is a bumble bee in a field of wild flowers. Then after saying hello to the pigs and nanny goat comes the hard decision of...

We visited Snugbury’s today as we heard there was a new straw feature, it was a bumble bee. Staff were nice and we didn’t have to wait long to be served. Ice creams are really noce and tasty. We will visit here again, especially when...

Called here for ice cream, we went for 2 scoops in a tub. Fabulous choice of ice cream flavours and a nice stroll to see the new bee creation. Only comment would be they could do with more loo’s!

Before going I was worrying out queues on a sunny Bank Holiday weekend. They have a really slick company from the messages on the road before you turn to plenty of parking. Only queued for 5 mins as they have so many people serving. Every...

Visited twice now in a month. Went back because the bee Wes finished so we were able to see it. Always very busy. Great service and friendly staff. Plenty of varieties of ice cream on offer. Maybe a little expensive for some but you get...

Wanted to take our granddaughter out for lunch with ice cream for afters so after reading some reviews on the ice cream places nearby we decided for pub lunch then ice cream at Snugburys. Great choice they have loads of lovely flavours to suit everyone....

We were hoping this would replace the ice cream farm for us as we really don't enjoy going anymore but our 5 year old was disappointed that there wasn't anything to play on. A park would be a great asset, we thought they'd be walks...

Called in to break up a journey Delicious ice cream and reasonable prices. Dog friendly too. We last visited 10 years ago!!
