Archers Jersey Dairy Ice Cream
We are open all year round, in summer from10.00 am to 6.00pm. The permissive farm walk (two miles long) is open to patrons of the parlour. In winter, we change our opening times when the clocks go back, and we open from 10.00 am – 5.00 pm, when you can eat ice cream beside the real log fire.
We serve the finest Italian coffee, using a roast of unusual strength, aroma and flavour selected by our proprietor, Sue Archer. We have sandwiches and a seasonal fresh soup always available. We also serve a range of teas, home made cakes, and our fresh fruit milk shakes with our own jersey milk and ice cream sundaes. Our Jersey milk is on sale too, for you to take home with you. (It is also sold in Morrisons throughout the country as their own label Jersey milk.)
Our range of flavours is increasing all the time as we experiment. We try to keep flavours seasonal, introducing champagne rhubarb that was grown in the farm garden from seed, along with many fruits. Other fruit is sourced when available from a local pick your own farm F.W. Elgey at Piercebridge.
Please note that we do not have the facilities to accept credit or debit cards.

AWARD-winning North East ice-cream maker Archer’s Jersey Ice Cream has teamed up with Newcastle department store Fenwick to offer delicious, farm-fresh ice-cream to city centre shoppers.
The ice-cream is made daily on the farm in County Durham, using the milk from Archer’s own pedigree Jersey herd. This means that all your favourite flavours travel from the rural slopes of the Tees Valley to the eclectic atmosphere of the Fenwick Food Hall within hours.
Company director Susan Archer believes it is this combination of excellent ingredients and fast turn-around that makes the ice-cream so special. She said: ‘You can’t get that quality elsewhere because we make our ice-cream so quickly, within two to three hours of milking.’
And she is looking forward to the new association with Fenwick, which has a long-standing, well-deserved reputation for supporting local food producers. ‘Fenwick will be a fantastic outlet for Archer’s ice-cream and it will be great to be a part of the store’s platform for locally-sourced, quality food,’ she said.
Archer’s make around 40 different flavours with perennial favourites Hokey Pokey and Simply Jersey topping the taste charts. Last year the company won the Gold Taste of North East England Award at the North East England Tourism Awards.
The city-centre concession will be the third Archer’s outlet in the region. It is already made and sold on site at New Moor Farm, outside Darlington, and at The Station, Richmond, North Yorkshire.
