OUR Lovingly-restored VINTAGE ICE CREAM VAN FOR HIRE IN KENT, SURREY, ESSEX & LONDON
Looking for something extra special for your event and love a touch of vintage flair? The star of our fleet is a beautiful pink Bedford CA ice cream van called Belle.
Over the past decade Belle has travelled to events all over the country, attracting excited crowds aplenty along the way. We found her in a rather sorry state and, determined to capture every single ounce of her former glory, her restoration was a real labour of love for us. Steeped in British nostalgia, we have worked hard to preserve her original features and believe the outcome is something truly special.
“Brilliant vans and excellent service. Had the lovely Belle at our summer fayre. ...just lovely :-)

Our vintage ice cream van for hire in Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex and London is sure to add that something special to your event, serving delicious soft whipped ice cream in the finest quality waffle cones. We also serve a selection of retro ice lollies that will transport you back to your childhood days - from rocket lollies to orange push ups.
Belle is quite the show off too and loves nothing more than to pose for photographs. Whatever the occasion, there will always be an opportunity for unforgettable photos to be taken with our vintage ice cream van. The team at Scoff & Sip will always go that extra mile to make your event truly special.
If you’re looking for an eye-catching and aesthetically pleasing ice cream van but Belle doesn’t quite work (whether that’s down to cost or logistics) then our modern but vintage inspired ice cream van Skye which was custom built for us is a fantastic alternative. Skye is also more efficient for events that require us to serve lots of people in a short period of time. Scroll down to find out more about Skye.
OUR BEAUTIFUL PINK 1963 VINTAGE
BEDFORD CA ICE CREAM VAN 'BELLE'
From the moment we found her in 2011 in somebody's garden shed, Belle has been a real labour of love. Originally a "Smiths of Gateshead" ice cream van conversion in 1963, we've made sure to retain all of the beautiful original features that make Belle so special. A couple of our personal favourites are the classic Morrison's 'balloon man' ceiling and original Tonibell cow on the roof. We've also fitted her with a generator so that she can run without electric and installed a classic Carpigani soft ice cream machine so that she can serve our signature 99 flakes.
Since her completion in 2012, Belle has brought a smile to hundreds of faces. She really does excite and amaze people at weddings, parties, festivals, classic car shows and seaside locations.
KEY FACTS:
Power supply: 1 x 32 amp single phase / integral generator
Dimensions: 4.5m x 1.7m
On Belle's menu: Delicious creamy and locally produced soft ice cream served on luxury waffle cones with Cadbury 99 flakes and a variety of tasty toppings including sauce, sprinkles and nuts. Belle also sells classic old favourites including oyster shells, pop-eyes, high balls and traditional ice lollies as well as soft drinks. In the winter months she pops up at Christmas markets selling luxury hot chocolate with Baileys and mulled wine.
All of our ice cream vans love to attend festivals, fetes, classic car shows, weddings, parties, corporate functions and more.
