Ice cream parlor 90 minutes from Coventry, inspired by Jeremy Clarkson’s show Clarkson Farm

As the anticipated summer weather finally arrives, there’s a sweet idea you can try for a family day out this summer. How about a 90 minute drive from Coventry to a small village with its own ice cream parlor and windmill?

Bobby’s Ice-Cream Parlor in Werrington is set in the stunning Staffordshire Moorlands. The salon is run by husband and wife Natalie and Craig Taylor, who were inspired by Jeremy Clarkson’s hit Amazon Prime series Carkson’s Farm to open their own cafe on their farm.

There are many unusual ice cream names and flavors from ‘Cherry Blizzard, Death by Chocolate, Gin & Damson, Crème Brûlée and Mango Sorbet, all made by Snugburys in Chesire. There are also homemade pizzas you can order and fries with unique toppings like the Greek God, which includes lamb shoulder, homemade tzatziki and feta cheese.

Their ethos is to focus on North Staffordshire produce, the menu including homemade cakes and gluten free options. Natalie told StokeonTrentLive: “We serve sausage rolls, jams, ice cream and fresh coffee. We are family oriented. There’s nothing like it in the area – it’s a bit different.”

The tea rooms and salon are named after their three-year-old son, who is named after Craig’s grandfather, and the idea came about as a result of family day trips.

Craig said: “We enjoy going out and getting ice cream and we just thought ‘we can do this at home’. I saw the opportunity. We had just renovated our house and were too busy to keep animals, so we thought it was a good way to go down.

“I think Snugburys is the furthest brand we have. They are very popular. We have milk from Caverswall and the cakes are made locally. Our produce is very local. We are very proud of that.”

Bobby’s Ice Cream and Teas is currently open Friday through Sunday, but the family hopes to extend their hours soon. For more information about the salon, visit Bobby’s Facebook page here.

Werrington is 880 meters above sea level and has a windmill dating back to 1730 which used to be topped by a miniature turbine which generated electricity for the pub next door. Used as an observation point by the Local Guard during the Second World War, the shelter remains on the roof.

There are also some great walks nearby where you can visit attractions such as Foxfield Steam Railway, Kingsley Bird & Falconry Centre, RSPB Coombes Valley, Knypersley Reservoir and Wetley Moor Common.
