Newfield Dairy Ice Cream Parlour & Cafe Reviews Summary

Vegan and Dairy-Free Options

Pros:

• "Thank goodness there were options for mum, brownie, carrot cake and chocolate ice cream! Mum really loved the carrot cake!"
• "The vegan ice cream is a new addition and really enjoyed the raspberry flavour."

Cons:

• "I was worried if they would have anything for mum as when we come it’s ice cream we have so not taken much notice of cakes?"
• "Ice cream lovely but sadly one person serving ice cream on a bank holiday Monday was a joke. And charging 60p extra for a gluten free cone is shameful."

Ice Cream Quality

Pros:

• "Fabulous ice cream, brilliant weather, nice views."
• "Really nice ice cream. Creamy and sweet."
• "Very good service with absolutely fantastic ice cream."
• "Amazing place well worth the detour off the M1/A1. Obviously the ice cream is incredible, and the portions very generous."
• "Fantastic ice-cream in a beautiful location."

Cons:

• "Had a banana ice cream milkshake and was disappointing."
• "The texture of the ice cream and creaminess was great, but the only criticism was the distinct lack of flavour."
• "Been here many times before for the fabulous ice cream however decided to have lunch this time… Big mistake!"

Service and Staff Efficiency

Pros:

• "Girls behind the counter were efficient and polite."
• "Fantastic place to visit, the Ice cream is unreal!! Staff were very friendly."
• "Very good service with absolutely fantastic ice cream."

Cons:

• "Whilst the location and the ice cream were very nice the same cannot be said about the rest of my experience here."
• "Visited today for our anniversary lunch. I don't take pleasure in leaving negative reviews but there was a lot of staff not much initiative between them."
• "Waited 20 minutes before somebody cleared the table from the previous customers."
• "Visited on the bank holiday and expected it to be busy - sadly service was poor."

Food Quality and Variety

Pros:

• "Jacket potatoes and salad really good."
• "Very generous servings for main meals. Good selection of meals available."
• "The food and drinks are brilliant."

Cons:

• "Expensive food choices and card only! The bread for the cheese sandwich for the children was quite dry."
• "Child's sausage and chips was £7.50. One sausage and a few chips!!! Peanut butter cookie didn't taste of peanut butter but tasted stale and hard."
• "Food was nice but at just less than £80 for 3 people to eat lunch I'm expecting far better service."
• "Food here is excellent...the Christmas dinner was delicious! Been here many times and have never been disappointed."

Facilities and Environment

Pros:

• "Dog friendly and kids play area."
• "Great outdoor area for children and there is a separate area where kids not allowed!!"
• "Nice little ice cream cafe. Growing each time I go. Good meeting place between my home and Notts/Leic."

Cons:

• "The playground did not have much for very young children, such as swings with enclosed seats."
• "The children's play area was disappointing. The little tikes cars were broken."
• "A great stop off for a cycle around the vale of Belvoir on the North side."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Good scoop size! Of course, there's a queue, it's popular. Recommended."
• "Food arrived promptly and was very nice. It was quite pricey but very enjoyable."
• "Took my son for a treat, on the outset prices might seem a little expensive but it's about on par with other similar establishments."

Cons:

• "We didn’t try the ice cream as one scoop is £5.50 and we felt we had spent enough already!"
• "Prices are decent for ice cream but not worth over £8 for a Sundae!"
• "Two out of three times we've been left disappointed so I doubt we'll be visiting again."
