Advantages: Best. Ice. Cream. Ever. Huge range of flavours, freshly made, available to take home.

Disadvantages: Can be very busy.

As someone with a decent milk intolerance I'm very picky about my Ice cream, it's something I enjoy but if I'm going to have it it had better be good.

Now Daisy Made is a small farm based business on the outskirts of Lincoln. The customer facing part of the business consists of a small to mid sized cafe with seating for somewhere in the region of sixty people with tables and comfortable chairs. At the counter there is always a range of a couple of dozen flavours of ice cream, involving the old favourites such as vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, but also more unusual flavours such as liquorice, turkish delight and apple - and while many of them come around quite frequently, you can count on finding something new on each visit, unless I suspect, you're a very frequent visitor indeed!

Outside there is a small children's play area with assorted small animals to watch and pet, along with seating and ample parking.

The ice cream itself is an absolute delight, made from the milk of cows kept on the farm, and made on site, it is very creamy rather than the more 'ice' based type that often comes out of a tub at the super market. As stated earlier there is a wide range of flavours available, and I've yet to find one I dislike (even peanut butter was an eye opener!) Cones range from 90p for a simple cone with scoop, upwards for waffle, chocolate coated cones with multiple scoops. The ice cream can also be bought in one or two litre tubs to take home, which are sold in insulated bags to make sure they get home well frozen. Also available are crisps, tea, coffee, soft drinks and cakes.

The only thing i've never found, is a dairy free ice cream. Maybe I've not looked hard enough.

The staff are always friendly and helpful, even on days when they are frankly rushed off their feet.

Overall a very pleasant experience, the best ice cream I've ever found and a pleasant afternoon out whatever the weather. If you're ever in town, make sure you get there. You'll regret it if you don't.

Summary: The best ice cream in town, it's occasionally busy, but for good reason. Go there!
