Ice cream van hire in Southgate

Southgate's round, Art Deco Underground station, designed by Charles Holden, is one of the best known on the Piccadilly line, and it sits at the centre of a well kept suburb. Southgate Green keeps old houses and a village feel, Grovelands Park spreads out to the south, and Trent Park and Oakwood lie just to the north. It is a family area with good schools and a large Greek Cypriot community, so events include garden parties, christenings, school fairs and summer celebrations.

Southgate has generous parks and many homes with drives, which makes it an easy place for an ice cream van. Around the station and the shops, parking is tighter, so private events are best on a residential road or drive. Our vans serve on battery power, which suits the area's quiet streets: while we serve there is no engine running, no exhaust and no engine noise. For events in Grovelands Park or Trent Park, check with Enfield Council about vehicles and food sales first.
