Ice cream van hire in Banstead

Banstead still calls itself a village, and the High Street backs that up with independent shops and cafés rather than big chains. It sits on the chalk just outside the London boundary, between Sutton and Reigate, surrounded by commons and downs, with Nork, Burgh Heath, Woodmansterne and Tattenham Corner close by. Large detached houses with long gardens are common here, which makes Banstead a natural place for garden parties, christenings and children's birthdays.

We are based in South Croydon, a short drive across the downs, so Banstead is very much home ground. Many roads here are quiet residential avenues where neighbours notice everything, and a van with its engine running all afternoon would not be welcome. Ours are 100% electric while serving, with no engine or generator running. The freezers and soft serve machine run from batteries, so the van can sit on your drive or at the kerb and serve in near silence.
