5 of the best ice cream places in Bolton according to Google Reviews

Smithills Open Farm Ice Creamery

Location: Smithills Dean Road, Bolton, BL1 7NS

Google Reviews rating: 4.8

One reviewer wrote: “This has recently opened in the evenings so that if you're using the ice creamery , you're also able to use the play area at the park.

“This is such a lovely gesture and now the evenings are lighter (and warmer!) this has been a real treat. The ice cream is delicious, with lots of different flavours to try and if you're short on milk and other supplies, you can also stock up whilst you're here.

“The staff are always really helpful, despite the queue sometimes being big and them having to fulfil multiple orders. They really do work tirelessly to make your visit an enjoyable experience.”

Various chocolate based flavours and some innovative ones too. Generous portion sizes and that farm smell, can't go wrong. Yet to try their drinks and other offerings, but if they're anything like the ice cream, they'll be on point.”
