Our vintage ice cream van, affectionately known as Betty, and our tricycle Bertie love nothing more than to dress up for a special day out. Decked out in their colourful bunting, they will make your event truly memorable.
Here’s everything you need to know about booking our ice cream van or tricycle.
What ice cream flavours does Betty offer?
Our ice cream van menu includes your favourite ice cream flavours including vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mint choc chip, and toffee crunch, while special flavours such as rhubarb and ginger, candyfloss, or choc n’ orange can be provided on request.
Fancy something a little different? No problem! We can also provide sorbets such as lemon or lime & coconut and even alcoholic sorbets such as gin & pink grapefruit or champagne. Give us a call and chat to us about what you fancy, and we’ll let you know if we can make it happen.
How far can Betty travel to events?
Betty can travel up to 30 miles (or sometimes a little further by special request) from her home on the Isle of Wight. If you aren’t sure whether we’re able to come along to your event, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and ask… we may well be closer than you think!
How much does it cost to hire Betty?
Betty charges an attendance fee to come along to every event, and there are a variety of different payment options available for the ice cream depending on the type of event you’re hosting. The cost of hiring our vintage ice cream van depends on quite a few different factors which means we’re not able to offer a set price, so please give as a call or email to discuss your specific needs and we’ll be able to give you a quote.
What type of ice cream van is Betty?
Betty is a white and baby blue 1973 Bedford vintage ice cream van serving delicious soft serve ice cream. She’s been quite a star on the south coast over the last decade, attending festivals, weddings and events and even meeting celebrities and getting in all the papers! We fell in love at first sight and brought her over to our beautiful island so that she can continue her adventures and bring ice cream joy wherever she goes.
What about Bertie?
Bertie is a traditionally styled ice cream tricycle designed and built especially for us in the Vintage Scoops colours and can offer 5 different flavours of delicious soft serve ice cream.
Bertie offers all the vintage features of Betty but is a more mobile option better suited for some events or where access is limited. Bertie travels around the island in style in his bespoke trailer and is also perfect for smaller events.
