These guys are amazing! We booked the Ice Cream cart for our company's summer party and they were brilliant! They were so easy to deal with when booking, they were friendly and helpful, replying to messages quickly. On the day they arrived early to set up, were really friendly to all of our team, and the ice creams were delicious!! They added a lovely vintage touch to the event. I would recommend them to anyone - worth every penny!

This was such a wonderful addition to our wedding. The ice creams were really delicious and all our guests couldn't get enough of it. The bike too looked really good and all the communication was really quick. I would definitely recommend them to make your wedding that extra bit special.

Lovely looking setup at our wedding venue at Helmingham Hall. The ice cream tasted amazing and it was very much needed in the sun. Staff was friendly, quick to set up and collapse. Perfect for the kids as they have plenty of choice with the extra addition of sprinkles and other accompaniments to have on their ice cream. Thank you very much

Your Guide to Hiring an Ice Cream Van in Birmingham

There's a simple magic to the sound of an ice cream van's chime. It’s a sound that can drift over canals, echo across parks, and bring a wave of nostalgia to any Brummie street. It’s the official anthem of British summertime, promising a moment of pure, unadulterated joy in a cone.

In a city as vibrant and diverse as Birmingham, that simple joy is the perfect ingredient for any event. Hiring an ice cream van is a fantastically easy way to bring people together and add a memorable, light-hearted touch to your celebration. Whether you're planning a big family get-together or a corporate summer bash, we've got the scoop on how to make it happen.

A Brummie Brilliant Idea: Why an Ice Cream Van?

Let's face it, organising an event can be a bit of a juggle. You want something that will please everyone, from the little ones to the grandparents, without causing you a logistical headache. An ice cream van ticks all the boxes. It's a self-contained unit of happiness that rolls up, serves smiles, and leaves without a trace. No mess, no fuss.

In Birmingham, a city known for its friendly, down-to-earth character, the relaxed and cheerful vibe of an ice cream van is a perfect fit. It’s a brilliant ice-breaker (pun absolutely intended) and a guaranteed way to create a focal point for your event where guests can mingle and chat. It’s simple, effective, and loved by all.

The Right Occasion for a Treat in the Second City

The versatility of an ice cream van is its superpower. It can slot into almost any kind of gathering, bringing a festival feel wherever it parks. We’ve seen them become the star of the show at all sorts of Birmingham events.

  • Family Fun Days: Planning a day for the whole community? An ice cream van is a must-have. It’s the perfect treat after a go on the bouncy castle or a round of face painting, keeping spirits high and kids happy.
  • Eid Gatherings: An ice cream van is a wonderful addition to an Eid celebration. It’s a joyful treat that the whole family can enjoy together, and with customisable menus, you can ensure all the toppings and ingredients are Halal-friendly.
  • Corporate Family BBQs: If your company is hosting a summer BBQ at a business park, hiring an ice cream van is a guaranteed way to impress your colleagues and their families. It shows a thoughtful touch and provides a fun dessert option that’s much more exciting than a limp slice of cake.
  • Charity Fetes: As a centrepiece for a charity fete or fundraiser in a local park or village hall, an ice cream van is a fantastic draw. It attracts visitors and helps create that classic, cheerful atmosphere that encourages people to stick around and support your cause.

Finding Your Pitch: Top Birmingham Spots for a Van

From its leafy suburbs to its iconic canals, Birmingham offers a host of brilliant locations for an event. When you’re thinking about where to hire an ice cream van in Birmingham, you just need to consider vehicle access and any necessary permissions.

Here are a few popular spots where an ice cream van works a treat:

  • Canalside Spaces: Imagine a vintage ice cream van parked up by one of Birmingham's famous canals. It’s a uniquely Brummie backdrop that’s perfect for weddings and corporate events.
  • Community Centres: For local events and family gatherings, the car park of a community centre is an ideal, hassle-free spot.
  • Business Parks: Many of the city's business parks have ample outdoor space, making them perfect for corporate events and staff appreciation days.
  • Village Halls: For events in the surrounding towns and villages, the grounds of a village hall provide a charming and practical setting.

A quick word with your venue and your ice cream van supplier is all it takes to iron out the details. They’re professionals who know their stuff and can help you figure out the logistics in a jiffy.

Crafting Your Perfect Menu

This is where you can get creative and ensure there’s a delicious treat for every single one of your guests. Today’s ice cream vans offer a fantastic range of options that go far beyond a simple cone.

One of the best things about Birmingham is its incredible diversity, and your ice cream menu can reflect that perfectly. Our suppliers are brilliant at creating menus that cater for everyone. You could feature:

  • A fantastic array of Halal-friendly toppings, from jellies and sauces to sweets and sprinkles, ensuring all your guests can dig in with confidence.
  • A vibrant selection of dairy-free sorbets, packed with real fruit flavour. They’re a refreshing and delicious treat for guests with dietary needs or those who just fancy something a little lighter.
  • Classic cones given a touch of indulgence with a dip in rich, melted chocolate. Chocolate-dipped cones are a simple upgrade that feels extra special.

The Cost of a Cone: A Birmingham Price Guide

Bringing this much joy to your event is probably more affordable than you think. The cost of hiring an ice cream van in Birmingham offers great value for the memorable experience it provides.

Generally, suppliers will have a minimum hire fee. This usually covers their travel, setup, and service for a set period (often 1-2 hours) and for a certain number of guests. In and around Birmingham, you can expect this minimum fee to be in the region of £500 to £900.

For larger events, the supplier might charge on a per-head basis, which can range from £3.50 to £6.00.

The final price will be influenced by:

  • The total number of guests you’re serving.
  • The length of the service time you require.
  • The specific location of your event.
  • The menu you choose and any bespoke additions.

On Poptop, we make this part simple. Your time is valuable, so we provide instant, all-inclusive pricing. This lets you plan your party in minutes, not days, without the faff of waiting for quotes to come back.
