The Devonshire Dairy - West Devon

Best ice cream in UK. And one of the best ice cream in Europe. Nothing more to say really it is that simple. If you like and chase good quality food products you should make that effort and go to Chagford to try their ice cream. The village is also a nice spot to go to. It is located on top of a hill.

As tourists on holiday and visiting Chagford for some lunch, we spotted this dairy and couldn't resist. So glad that we stopped in and our party of 5 all had double scoops in a variety of flavours. All of them delicious, but I thoroughly recommend the chocolate and honeycomb flavours. Best ice cream I've had in a long time. They also have a fabulous cheese deli counter which we made a mental note to come back to and stock up before leaving the area. Great find in a lovely village.

The ice cream is made daily and the flavours vary but each one we tried was superb. Truly exceptional.

During our week long stay near Chagford we visited The Devonshire Dairy on a number of occasions initially to purchase local cheese then later to sample a few of the fresh Icecreams made in house which we could eat on our 20min walk back to our cottage. We all had our favourites mine being Peanut Butter Fudge with my wife not venturing further than the Honeycomb as it reminded her of Hokey Pokey from home in New Zealand. On our final evening we purchased a 12 Scoop tub to have back at the cottage and the lovely lady at the dairy lent us a couple of ice packs for the walk home which we returned the following morning. A must visit on any warm day in Changford.

Try the homemade pies, take them home, warm them,and eat with local fresh veg ..buy extra and share with friends after a walk on Dartmoor.
