Ice cream van hire in Dalston

Dalston is one of London's liveliest neighbourhoods, centred on the junction of Kingsland Road and Dalston Lane. Ridley Road Market has served the area's Caribbean, African and Turkish communities for generations, the Rio Cinema has been showing films on Kingsland High Street for over a century, and Gillett Square hosts music and community events. Bars, studios and independent shops have arrived alongside, so events here range from family parties and school fairs to launches and pop-ups.

Space is at a premium. Most streets have controlled parking, pavements are busy and many venues have no yard. Plan the van's position early, whether that is a parking suspension, a school playground, a square or a closed road. Our vans serve on battery power, so they can stand close to people and buildings without exhaust or engine noise while we serve. For larger gatherings, London Fields and Hackney Downs are both nearby, with permission from Hackney Council.
