ABOUT US

Fat Sam’s Ice Creams is a family run business owned and managed by Sam and Jeni Booth.

We are based in the West Country, near to the Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset county border and our ice cream vans operate across the south of England attending events of all sizes.

Fat Sam’s Ice Creams was founded in 2004 when Sam was offered the exciting opportunity to buy the ice cream van from which he had been an enthusiastic customer since boyhood!

We’ve moved forward in leaps and bounds since those early days becoming a thriving events catering company.

The original ice cream van has now been replaced with a fleet of more modern vans all fully equipped to cater for events large and small.

Our ice cream vans are also available to hire for media purposes. Recent projects have seen our vans star in music videos, news articles and even a Disney movie!

Fetes, fairs, festivals and much, much more. Corporate functions, private parties, weddings, the list goes on…

Our ice cream vans serve a very high quality, award winning ice cream plus a selection of popular ice lollies. We have products to suit most dietary requirements and we are very proud of our 5 star food hygiene rating!

For schools, charities and fund-raising events there is no charge for us to attend AND we will donate a percentage of our takings towards your fund-raising.

Many thanks for coming to our Fete.

Jackie

Many thanks and see you next year!!

Margaret

Thank you very much for attending our event last Saturday. We had a very successful day, which is of course due to all those people who took part and generously donated to help the school. So without your help it would not have been possible.

Thank you again and I hope we can call on you again next year.

Thank you so much for the very generous donation to Jubilee Hall. I think everyone who attended enjoyed the day that had been so well organised by our Parish Council. We were very lucky with the weather!

Thank you for coming and contributing so much to the enjoyment of the day.

Secretary Jubilee Hall

I am writing on behalf of South Wilts Mencap to say a huge thank you for coming with the Fat Sam’s van to the charity’s annual summer party at Salisbury Rugby Club on the afternoon of 24th July to serve ice creams to all our guests in the learning-disabled community, their friends, families and carers.

It is fair to say that the arrival of the van caused huge excitement and everyone queued very patiently for their ice cream.  Please pass on my especial thanks to Kimberley who was patient, cheerful and welcoming to our community.  All our guests absolutely loved this part of a great summer party and the ice creams were particularly welcome on a hot day.
