A CHESHIRE ice cream farm that attracts more than 250,000 visitors a year has triumphed at the Food Northwest Awards.

Cheshire Ice Cream Farm in Tattenhall scooped the Food Northwest Excellence Award.

The company has been producing award winning “real dairy ice cream” and sorbets at its Drumlan Hall Farm since 1986. Free from artificial colours and flavours, the produce is now found in over 800 pubs, hotels, restaurants and retail outlets all over the North West.

In the last 12 months the team has created a new look ice cream farm with an extensive refurbishment programme.

Jonathan Fell, co-owner, said: “ Winning this award is a real honour for us. We have had a very busy year and we have an exciting time ahead of us. The team has worked hard to create the ‘new look’ Ice Cream Farm and this award gives everyone the recognition they deserve.”

The awards, now in their fourth year, recognise the innovation and achievements of businesses across the North West.

The winners were announced at a Gala Awards dinner at Manchester’s Hilton Hotel by presenter Lucy Meacock.
