Ice cream van hire in Richmond upon Thames

Richmond upon Thames is the only London borough on both banks of the Thames, and one of the greenest, with Richmond Park, Bushy Park and Kew Gardens all inside its boundaries. Towns like Richmond, Twickenham, Teddington, Barnes and Hampton each have their own riverside, high street and green spaces. Summer here means rugby crowds at Twickenham, events along the river, school fairs, garden weddings and plenty of family parties in large back gardens.

Much of Richmond's best open space is managed by the Royal Parks, the National Trust, English Heritage or private estates, and each sets its own rules on catering. If you are planning an event on that land, the organiser normally arranges permission, and we provide the documents they need. For private parties, our vans serve silently from the battery, which is welcome on quiet residential streets in Barnes, Kew or East Sheen. On Twickenham match days, traffic around the stadium gets heavy, so tell us early if your event clashes.
