Wheelbirks Ice Cream Parlour

Everything was amazing! Ice cream, facilities, food, atmosphere, people! We went for the afternoon and we could entertain ourselves for ages! and amazing place would really recommend!

Got parked easily. Lots of large tables so can accommodated families easily. Charming staff smiling and helpful. Bacon buns fresh bread but bacon thick and coated with what was probably burnt fat hence 3/5. Need to improve these. Coffee very good. Ice cream excellent. Great for ice cream if you're on a family outing.

Visited here a good few years ago before Covid …….we were going to Hexham and thought here would be a good place to stop off for a bit of lunch. It’s a popular cafe and quite busy even though it’s kind of in the middle of nowhere really. A lovely garden to sit in weather permitting. It also sells ice cream which was very popular. It has a little shop there too . A nice place to visit.

Visited solo with my dog on a drive back. It was lovely sitting outside in the sun in the orchard under an apple tree. Nice unusual choice of ice cream flavours, good quality and unpasteurised milk to purchase too. Dog friendly ice cream tubs available. Large indoor seating area where other foods are served. Park for the children. Donkey food can be purchased to feed the donkeys. Ample parking

I discovered a charming gem of a restaurant! Our family of four enjoys exploring new dining spots, and we were delighted with the delicious food and amazing ice cream. The jersey milk ice cream was particularly outstanding. The staff were fantastic, very welcoming and with a great sense of humor. It was a bonus to see the jersey cows and my boys were thrilled to see the donkeys. We even purchased some fresh eggs. Overall, it was a wonderful visit and we will definitely return.

I recently went to this restaurant with a friend to catch up and I was delighted by the atmosphere. We enjoyed a coffee in the cozy snug next to the fire, which was perfect on a cold day. I also treated myself to a scone, which the staff kindly warmed up for me. I will definitely be returning for another one soon. The staff were very welcoming and I also enjoyed browsing through the cowshed, especially their impressive jellycat collection. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a new spot to catch up with friends and family.

We go to Wheelbirks quite often. It’s lovely inside and also has an outside seating area which is great when the weather is good. Lots of space for children. We had an impromptu family get together on Saturday and phoned at 10 am to book a table for 11 am for 10 adults and 2 children in high chairs. Three of the family were over from Australia. They arranged two big tables for us all and we had a great time. The food was lovely and arrived quickly, as always and the staff looked after us really well. Everyone was very impressed and loved the ice cream. Thank you for making it really special especially at such short notice. It was very much appreciated

Decided to drive out for lunch today with our 18 month old. Were told there was a 40 minute wait for food which seemed strange as they weren't busy. When the food arrived (before 40 minutes fortunately) it definitely wasn't worth the drive over for. The loaded fries were ok but the bbq sauce tasted cheap. The frozen bought in burger was embarrassing looking and tasted revolting. The jacket potato was ok but no butter on or offered. No animals to see in the barn other than a few chickens and the donkeys in the field. We had ice cream afterwards. All flavours tasted the same and all of those were bland. Was a very disappointing visit and sadly we will not be returning.

We often visit Wheelbirks, it is my favorite place to go for a coffee with my baby to relax, especially by the fire in the cozy area. We go there every season, but my favorite is summer in the beautiful orchard where we can enjoy ice cream while the kids play in the garden and feed the donkeys, Hamish and Dougie. We have attended many events such as open farm days, Halloween hunts, and Santa's grotto where the kids received lovely gifts. The food is fresh, homemade, and delicious with plenty of options for the kids. Rain or shine, there is always something to do, including an indoor preschool area. The staff are accommodating and friendly, always helping me to my table with drinks when I hav...
