Croydon · Ice cream van hire

Ice cream van hire in Selsdon

Battery-powered ice cream vans for Selsdon's gardens, schools and woodland edge, close to our South Croydon base.

Selsdon is a hilltop suburb in the south east of Croydon, built largely between the wars on what had been farmland. It still has a village feel, with shops along Addington Road and roads of family houses that run down to the edge of the woods. Selsdon Wood, a nature reserve owned by the National Trust and managed by Croydon Council, marks the boundary with the countryside towards Farleigh. It is a quiet, settled place.

Most Selsdon events are private or community ones: birthdays, garden parties, school fairs and church fêtes. Houses here often have driveways and decent gardens, which makes life easier, but some roads are on a slope. We are based in South Croydon, close by, and our vans are fully electric while serving, so they can stand on a residential road without engine noise. Tell us about any gradients or narrow turns when you get in touch.

Wedding ice cream van hire in Selsdon

Selsdon is close to country house hotels and golf clubs on the southern edge of Croydon, and many couples also hold receptions in marquees at home. Larger venues usually have hard standing for vehicles, so ask where a van can park near the lawn or terrace. With no engine running while we serve, the van can stand close by during speeches. Premium waffle cones and Knickerbocker Glories suit an evening reception.

Selsdon: questions

Can you come to a church or school fête in Selsdon?
Yes. Fêtes and fairs are a good fit, and battery-powered serving means no fumes near stalls or children. We can serve for cash or work with a token system. The organiser should agree the van's spot with the church or school. Our school fetes page has more.
Can the van serve at the edge of Selsdon Wood?
The wood is a nature reserve, and vehicles and trading there are controlled. For an organised event on or near it, check with Croydon Council or the National Trust first. A nearby private garden or a car park is often a simpler option.
Do you need a power supply at my house?
No. Our vans are 100% electric while serving and carry their own battery power for the freezers and soft serve machine. You do not need to run a cable from the house, and there is no generator or engine noise. Find out more about how our battery-powered serving works.
