Location & Ambiance

Pros:

• "Place has a queue and it’s near a canal so somewhere to walk whilst having the ice cream."
• "It's also right next to a section of the Leeds & Liverpool canal, so it's a very nice treat if you find yourself down that part during a long walk."
• "The garden area next to the canal is looking great too, lovely setting and views then a walk along the canal with your ice cream, perfect."
• "There is some seating directly outside, but there are also some more seats next to the canal."

• "Parking is non existent and people even park on double yellow lines to get ice cream here."
• "Parking is not great and could do with their own car park."
• "Went for ice cream August bank holiday Monday 🍦 parking is absolutely madness and the queues are ridiculously long!"
