Ice cream van hire in Brentwood

Brentwood is a commuter town just beyond the M25 in south west Essex, with the Elizabeth line running from Brentwood and Shenfield stations into central London. The High Street is lined with restaurants and bars, and the residential roads of Shenfield, Hutton and Ingrave are known for large houses with big gardens. Two large country parks, Weald and Thorndon, give the town an unusual amount of open space for somewhere so close to London.

Brentwood events lean towards private celebrations: garden parties, children's birthdays, christenings and summer parties, along with school events, sports club days and charity days. With the freezers and soft serve machine running from batteries, the vans can stand on a driveway or by a marquee and serve without engine noise. For guests, that means no fumes near the food and nothing to compete with the music.

Public spaces need the organiser to hold permission from the council or the site’s managers. We send the documents they usually ask for.
