Ice cream van hire in Coulsdon

Coulsdon is the most southerly town in the London Borough of Croydon, and it feels closer to the Surrey countryside than to central London. The town centre runs along Brighton Road, which was relieved of through traffic when the Coulsdon bypass opened, while Old Coulsdon sits up on the hill around Bradmore Green. Beyond the houses lie Farthing Downs and Happy Valley, open chalk grassland that draws families and walkers all summer.

That mix of suburb and downland shapes the events we get asked about here. There are garden parties in Old Coulsdon, summer fairs at local primary schools, sports club days and gatherings on the edge of the downs. Our battery-powered vans suit all of them. There is no engine running to keep the freezers cold, so the van is quiet and fume-free while we serve, which matters when you are serving beside a school playground or a picnic area where people have come for fresh air.
