Ice Cream Van Hire for TV, Film & Media Productions

29 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.
