Ice cream van hire in Woodford

Woodford runs along the edge of Epping Forest, from South Woodford up through Woodford Green to Woodford Wells and across to Woodford Bridge. It is green, settled and largely residential, with Edwardian and interwar family homes, good schools and a strong church and community life. Woodford Green itself, with the statue of Winston Churchill, who was the local MP for many years, still feels like the centre of things. Garden parties, school fairs and church fêtes are typical Woodford events.

The forest gives Woodford its character, but it also means a lot of land here is managed by the City of London Corporation rather than the council. If your event is on forest land, check with the forest's managers before booking a van. Most private events are simpler: a drive, a garden or a quiet road. Our vans run the freezers and soft serve machine on battery power, not an idling engine, so they serve without fumes or engine noise on residential streets.
