An ice cream business is preparing to scoop up a fresh start at a new location.

Brooklands Dairy, based in Dudleston Heath near Ellesmere, will relocate to a new site just across the road for its 2027 season.

The move comes after the sale of Brooklands Farm, which is based behind the existing gelato shop.

The business will reopen at its new premises on Deefields Farm, where it plans to launch a revamped gelato shop, tea room, and seating area.

In a recent Facebook post, the team at Brooklands Dairy said: "It’s our last week open before the big move! 

"We’d love to see you and we have a great cabinet for your last scoops and a freezer full of 1 litre tubs.

"We are still making a few requests - I’ll be doing banana and also blackberry today in tubs as well as some others. Let us know if there is anything you would really like and if we can justify a batch we’ll do what we can!

"I’ve had some requests for pistachio tubs. We use a high quality pistachio so need to charge £15 for a 1 litre tub to cover costs but it is a special favourite - if you would like to order a tub of this please let me know."

At the start of the 2026 season,  they said the cows would be among the first to move to the new site, with gelato production to follow later.

Brooklands Dairy has farmed land at Deefields for many years and confirmed that the site will remain fully organic.

The team said: "There will be no change to the gelato this season.

"We’ll be at the usual place until September while we prepare our new gelataria.

"We’ll still be using our own organic milk as normal and have lots of exciting flavours planned for the season."

The team also took the opportunity to thank their supporters.

They said: "We would like to thank everyone for their support, hard work and kindness through what has been a very stressful time.

"We’re now looking forward to this next chapter.

"We’ll be sharing updates on the new venture soon, so please keep following along."
