Add a cool twist to your summer party

18 August 2025

A line-up of four brightly coloured ice cream vans parked on grass in front of residential buildings. The vans are from different brands and eras, including a pink "Mr Whippy", a classic yellow and white "Fat Sam's" with 99 Flake branding, a blue and white van with "Freshly Made Just For You" signage, and a solid yellow van. Each van features distinctive designs and cone sculptures on the roof.

August is all about making the most of the sunshine, and what better way to celebrate than with an ice cream van at your summer gathering? If you’re hosting a family reunion, a milestone birthday, a big garden BBQ, or a caravan park party, a Fat Sam’s Ice Cream van is guaranteed to be the star attraction.

Our fleet of pink, blue, and yellow ice cream vans bring instant fun to any event. The sound of the traditional ice cream jingle and the sight of our team serving fresh Whippy ice cream is enough to get everyone smiling.

We cater for all tastes and dietary needs with vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free options, plus our menu includes slush drinks, scooped ice cream, and lollies, all perfect for cooling off on a hot summer’s day.
