With the weather warming up in Chester, people of all ages looking to cool down consider frozen treats.
Thankfully, inside the city of Chester and beyond, there are an abundance of places with a dessert menu where visitors and guests can pick up an ice cream. Here, we look at four ideal options to try.
The Ice Cream Farm
Known for having the world’s largest ice cream parlour, The Ice Cream Farm is the home of frozen desserts in Cheshire. Just over nine miles from the city centre, the farm offers over 50 flavours of ice cream (and sorbet) and options for guests on a vegan diet. Eton Mess, Donut, Rhubarb and Custard and Turkish Delight are just some of the exciting choices on offer.
Chester Zoo
Just outside the city, Chester Zoo has more than 37,000 animals to see, but it also has ice cream. There are many locations around the attraction offering ice cream, including various food and drink outposts and June’s Food Court. However, soft serve ice cream is only available at the Arara Outpost near the Spirit of the Jaguar exhibit and the District Office on The Islands experience.
Zuger’s of Chester
Presenting a tantalising taste of Switzerland, Zuger’s of Chester serves meals from breakfast to dinner but also provides a tempting selection of sweet treats and desserts. Menu items include ice cream milkshakes and ice cream coupes, dressed up sundaes in a stemmed glass and loaded with layered ice cream, fresh fruit and sauce.
Urbano32
Experts in Italian cuisine, Urbano32 in central Chester is perfect for pizza and pasta dishes. Those seeking a sweet taste of Italy won’t be disappointed either as the restaurant offers an extensive array of gelato-based desserts. Made with less air and cream than standard ice cream for a more intense flavour, gelato also has lower fat content making it ideal for dieters in Chester.
