About English Lakes
English Lakes Ice Cream is a multi-award-winning artisan producer based in the heart of Cumbria's beautiful Lake District. Operating from The Old Dairy in Kendal since 2000, this family business has grown from a humble husband and wife team into an employer of over 20 people, producing luxury traditional ice cream using the finest local ingredients. Their commitment to quality has earned them an impressive 12 Great Taste Awards. The secret to English Lakes' exceptional quality lies in their sourcing. Their luxurious dairy ice creams are made with fresh organic milk and cream from Red Tractor assured Morphet Farms at Swarthmoor, supporting local Cumbrian agriculture. The company collaborates with other award-winning Lake District producers to create authentic regional flavours—partnering with Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding Company, Kendal Mint Company, and Hawkshead Relish Company for unique recipes. The range spans Double Jersey Ice Creams, tangy Real Fruit Sorbets, and Vegan Ice Creams. Star products include the two-star Great Taste Award winning Double Jersey, plus Thunder & Lightning, Cartmel Sticky Toffee, Belgian Biscuit, Raspberry Pavlova, Kendal Mint Cake, Madagascan Vanilla, and Blackcurrant and Cream. Each flavour celebrates the Lake District's rich culinary heritage with silky smooth textures that make English Lakes synonymous with luxury. Available at Tesco supermarkets and other major UK retailers, English Lakes Ice Cream brings a taste of Cumbria's stunning landscapes to British freezers. Whether you're visiting Brockhole on Windermere's shore or shopping at home, their ice creams offer genuine Lake District provenance backed by over two decades of artisan expertise.
