Shepherds Parlour

About

Nestled in the heart of Hay on Wye, Shepherds Parlour offers a relaxed cafe atmosphere paired with artisanal, locally‑made ice cream. Patrons can enjoy freshly brewed coffee, homemade cakes, sandwiches, soups and a rotating selection of sheep’s‑milk ice cream in a variety of flavours—from classic toffee honeycomb and mint chocolate to plant‑based options like lime & coconut. The café closes at 4:00 pm every day, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely lunch, afternoon break or a sweet treat. Staff source ingredients sustainably from nearby producers such as Alex Gooch Bakery and Dorstone cheese, and the venue is wheelchair‑accessible, ensuring a welcoming experience for all visitors. Occasionally, Shepherds Parlour offers a vintage ice‑cream trailer for hire, perfect for private events or community gatherings. Whether you’re a local resident or a tourist passing through, this cosy spot invites you to sample the best of Welsh dairy treats and comforting café fare.
