About The Alnwick Ice Cream Parlour
The Alnwick Ice Cream Parlour sits on Narrowgate, a short walk from Alnwick Castle and around the corner from the Dirty Bottles, placing it firmly on the town's most-walked tourist route. It is a dedicated ice cream shop serving more than twenty flavours of award-winning Ciccarelli gelato alongside a range of sorbets, drawing a steady stream of families, day-trippers and castle visitors.
The parlour is best known for its Butterbeer ice cream floats, a nod to Alnwick Castle's fame as a Harry Potter filming location, and reviewers regularly single out flavours such as pistachio, coffee, rhubarb custard and honeycomb along with generous portions. It also caters for four-legged visitors with a dog-friendly ice cream, making it a convenient stop for walkers exploring the town centre and nearby Pastures.
