The Moody Cow in Allerdale

We stopped off for a milkshake after a day out. We each came away with a beautiful glass bottle filled with a milkshake of our choice. I opted for a black cherry, as I love this flavour but have never had it as a milkshake before, one word, amazing! The kids and the hubby opted for strawberry and chocolate flavours. The self-service idea was great and easy to do. Parking was free and there was seating outside to enjoy our ice-creams.

The lady from the shop was very rude when asked to use the toilet because we were not from the site but we spend some money their but not anymore we will take our customers else where

Great little farm shop selling various items including the freshest creamiest milk you'll ever taste! Your cornflakes will never taste as good! lol. If you're passing, stop in for an ice-cream, coffee & a chat. Right across the road, fantastic sea views and a smooth walk up the coastline to nearby Allonby. A hidden gem for sure.

Great coffee, really friendly folk, enjoyed chatting with the great Dane :) Recommend, we'll be back for ice cream and milkshake next time!

This is our happy place most weekends, and now the Moody Cow is open for summer its just topped it off. Fantastic coffee and Milkshakes all done with farm fresh milk, straight from the cow. Sit outside or take away. Good selection of things in the shop as well. Well done Clare, keep up the great work 👏

Best milk I've had in years. Lovely lady had just opened the cafe for Summer..such a nice person. Will be back later in week

My elderly mother (originally from Allonby) and I spent a wonderful week in a luxury caravan owned by Blue Dial - which incidentally is a place where my daughter (now 44 years old) and her cousins, spent their holidays as children. The Hetheringtons are a lovely family and we received a very warm welcome. Naturally we visited the Moody Cow where the superb Clare spoils her customers with tasty food and yummy ice cream. Moody Cow is also stocked with food essentials as well as ‘raw milk’ - oh my this milk is so good - we drank it every day and even took 5 bottles home!! A great place to stay - immaculate caravan park and breathtaking beach Thank you Hetheringtons for being kind, welcoming and doing everything ‘spot on.’

Was recommended this place by Solway Cycle Hire and I am so glad we went! Can easily say that the Moody Cow served the best sausage roll we have ever eaten. The ice cream was delicious too! Service was warm and friendly. Can't wait to come back.

After a walk on the nearby beach, we called in for coffee, hot chocolate and yummy sausage rolls. There are seats inside and picnic tables outside so plenty of seating, plus it's dog friendly. This little café also sells unpasteurised 'raw' milk fresh from their dairy herd on the farm. Check out the lovely handmade greetings cards too.

called in for a coffee whilst out for walk while on holiday in the area ,but her order for the sausages and pies ,pasties had not turned up quite disappointed as they were very nice time . plus we wanted to buy some milk but they had run out of bottle tops so could not get any .hope we have better luck next year.

The farm shop at this dairy farm offers fresh raw milk, delicious creamy ice cream and other goodies from their fields of happy cows. Drop in as you cycle along the Solway coast.

We went through to Allonby on the off chance of riding up the coast. Our son is only 3, so he needs plenty of flat and of course a refreshment stop! We were lucky enough that everything fell into place. We booked the bikes then followed the route up to Maryport, with a pit stop at The Moody Cow in Allonby. The owner was very warm and welcoming, family friendly, the place itself is clean, funky and a good size for a quick stop off - having some seats inside and a bench outside. My son and I had one of their own milkshakes from their own cows. It was delicious! The menu choices are perfect for a stop off like this, not too many options but enough to make everyone happy! The owner invited us to go and see the cows, the robotic milking machine and the little robot cleaner! My son was thrilled and I was very impressed with how well looked after the farm is and how the cows seemed very happy. They have a great setup and I can imagine this side of the business will only grow. We will definitely be going back again. Thank you for being a part of our story for fathers day.

The catchy, contemporary-styled name belies the effervescent nature of the warm and welcoming host. We drove in to this tiny farm cafe looking for lunch and were impressed and surprised by the stylish, modern exterior. She quickly explained that it was mainly coffee and cakes BUT she could offer us pies and mushy peas. We took her up on her offer, enjoying delicious coffee and eating the tasty local butcher steak pies, followed by delicious ice cream, sitting in the sunny farmyard... One of the highlights of our holiday!
