Frederick's Ice Cream

When it comes to indulging in authentic Italian-style gelato in the heart of Chorley, Frederick's Ice Cream on Bolton Rd, Heath Charnock, is the name that locals and dessert lovers alike have come to adore. This isn’t your average scoop-and-go place-it’s a full-fledged ice cream experience, where tradition meets creativity in the most satisfying way possible.

From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by a vibrant display of colors and flavors. Whether you're dropping by solo for a quick sugar fix or bringing the whole family for a relaxed outing, the seating area provides just the right atmosphere for a chilled-out treat. There’s something unmistakably nostalgic about the place, like stepping into a childhood memory-but with way more flavor options.

Let’s talk about the gelato. Frederick’s doesn’t play it safe. You’ll find classics like Mint Choc Chip, Rum & Raisin, and Chocolate Chip, but you’re equally likely to be tempted by Cotton Candy, Biscoff Sundae, or a Strawberries & Cream Sundae drizzled with Bubble Gum Syrup. Their 6 Scoop of Ice Cream option isn’t for the faint of heart, but for true enthusiasts, it’s the dream combo. You can mix and match from a rainbow of flavors, each smoother and richer than the last.

For those who like their dessert with some theatre, the Banana Split and Chocolate Sundae offer a picture-perfect treat. And if you lean towards hot and cold combos, a Hot Fudge Sundae paired with chilled gelato and soft Marshmallows delivers that perfect contrast.

Ice cream aside, there are some fun surprises on the menu. Yep-Lasagne. That’s right. So, if you’re in the mood to balance out your sweet tooth with something savory before diving into a sugar rush, they’ve got you covered. You can pair it with a creamy Cappuccino or a hot cup of Frederick’s signature coffee, rounding out a well-paced visit.

Accessibility-wise, Frederick’s Ice Cream has a wheelchair-accessible entrance, though parking may be a bit more limited for those needing designated spaces. Still, the location is easily reachable, and thanks to their delivery and in-store pick-up options, getting your hands on your favorite dessert doesn’t have to mean stepping out the door.

It’s also worth mentioning the Choose Your Ice Cream Cone feature, which lets you personalize your cone base, turning every visit into a mini custom project. Whether you’re a crunchy sugar cone person or prefer something softer, you can build your dessert from the ground up.

Another cool offering is the shaved ice-a refreshing alternative when you want something lighter but still packed with flavor. Add a syrup of your choice (the Toffee and Banana combo is a sleeper hit), and you’ve got yourself a slushy treat to beat the summer heat.

What makes Frederick’s Ice Cream stand out isn’t just the variety-it’s the care. Every scoop feels intentional, every topping thoughtfully placed. There’s a reason this place continues to be a go-to for birthday celebrations, casual catch-ups, and weekend pit stops.

So whether you're craving a rich Rum and Raisin Ice Cream Cone, looking for a playful Bubblegum-topped sundae, or just want to sip a hot drink while watching the world go by, Frederick’s Ice Cream delivers-quite literally and figuratively.
