Ice cream van hire in Gravesend

Gravesend is a riverside town on the south bank of the Thames estuary, with a long history as a port and a passenger ferry across to Tilbury. Pocahontas is buried at St George's Church, and her statue stands in the churchyard. The town is home to one of the largest Sikh communities in Britain, with the Guru Nanak Darbar Gurdwara a landmark on the skyline. High-speed trains run to St Pancras from the station.

That mix shapes the events we hear about: big family celebrations, religious festivals, weddings, children's parties, school fairs and community days by the river. Our vans run the freezers on batteries, with no engine running while we serve, so they can stand close to a hall entrance, a marquee or a playground without fumes. Prepaid tokens work well for large family occasions, so guests simply collect a treat at the hatch and nobody has to handle money.
