Ice & Slice At The Kiln
About
Ice & Slice delights diners in the historic 17th‑century bottle kiln of Swadlincote, Derbyshire. The venue has been tastefully restored with reclaimed brickwork, Victorian beams, and exposed steel, creating a warm, industrial ambience. Signature dishes include wood‑fired pizza cooked in a traditional Italian oven, hearty main courses, and a range of desserts, all paired with a curated selection of Champagne, wine, and spirits. The restaurant offers a family‑friendly atmosphere with vegan and gluten‑free options, place‑by‑place tables, and attentive table service. With an average five‑star rating from over 800 reviews, it is one of the UK’s top hidden gems and has earned a bronze award in TripAdvisor’s 2023 Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best. Guests can enjoy a special Wood‑Fired Sunday lunch every Sunday from 12 pm to 6 pm, as well as themed events posted on the website. Reservations are highly recommended during peak seasons and for larger parties.
