Waltham Forest · Ice cream van hire

Ice cream van hire in Walthamstow

Ice cream with no fumes and no engine noise while we serve, for Walthamstow's streets, schools, parks and creative events.

Walthamstow has a long street market down the High Street, a strong creative scene and some of London's best loved terraced streets. William Morris grew up here, and the gallery in his old family home sits at the edge of Lloyd Park. Walthamstow Village, around St Mary's Church and the Vestry House Museum, keeps an old-fashioned feel. The E17 Art Trail, street parties, school fairs and community days all show how much the town likes to get together.

Terraced roads with parked cars on both sides are the norm here, so planning where the van stands is the main job. A road closure for a street party, a school playground or a park with an access road all work well. Our vans serve on battery power, so they can sit between houses with no engine running and no exhaust at child height while we serve. Walthamstow Wetlands, to the west, is a nature reserve with its own rules, so ask its managers before planning anything there.

Wedding ice cream van hire in Walthamstow

Walthamstow weddings are often relaxed and personal: a ceremony at the town hall or a church, then a party at a pub, a warehouse space or a friend's garden. Couples here like a bit of character, and a classic Mr. Whippy van fits that well. If the reception is on a terraced street, arrange a parking suspension or use a nearby yard. With no engine running, the van can stand right outside without noise or fumes during the speeches.

Walthamstow: questions

Can we book the van for a street party in Walthamstow?
Yes. Street parties are one of the best uses of an ice cream van. Apply to Waltham Forest Council for the road closure and mention the van in your plans. Tell us where the closure starts and ends so we can work out how to get in and out safely. A prepaid token system works well if neighbours are sharing the cost.
Our road has no free parking. How does the van get close?
Options include a parking suspension arranged through the council, a private drive or yard nearby, or a school or church car park. The van needs a level spot and a safe place for the queue. Send us the address and any photos, and we will suggest what is realistic for your road.
Do you serve at arts and community events?
Yes. Art trails, open studios, fun days and charity events are a good fit. The van is quiet while serving, so it will not drown out performers, and it looks good in photos. We can serve for a set time or take payment at the hatch. See our community events page and charity events page.
