Rent an ice cream van and sweeten your event
Why a van works at everything from a back-garden party to a corporate launch — and what it adds that a dessert table cannot.
When you are planning an event, the hard part is rarely the food. It is finding the one thing people will actually remember. An ice cream van does that with almost no effort on your part, because it arrives already loaded with everyone’s childhood.
It works for any occasion
A casual back-garden party and a formal wedding reception are very different events, but the van lands well at both. At the party it is the entertainment. At the wedding it is the surprise nobody was told about, which is usually better.
It gives people something to do
Every event has a lull — the drinks reception while the photographs are taken, the hour before the band starts, the stretch of a sports day when nothing is happening on the pitch. The van fills exactly that gap, and it gathers people in one place instead of leaving them scattered.
It photographs well
Bright livery, people queueing and smiling, and good light because it is usually outdoors. The pictures at the hatch tend to be the ones that end up shared.
It is simpler than catering
The van is self-contained. No power, no water, no tables, no setup on your side and nothing to clear away afterwards. You give us a parking spot and a time, and that is the whole arrangement.
