Question 2

It depends on the size of your event or party, and the number of guests we’re catering for but it can be anything from 90 minutes to a few hours.

Question 3

Do we need to provide electric power?

Accepted Answer

No, our van is self-powered and doesn’t need hooking up to the mains.

Question 4

What locations can you travel to?

Accepted Answer

Milk Blossom is based in Liverpool and we have very close connections to the Birmingham area and all though our van might be old - the engine isn't! So we are able to travel to where you need us, just get in touch if you wish to discuss and have a personalised quote.

Question 5

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

We are committed to you, so please be assured that we will always turn up at the agreed service time come wind, rain or shine! We always work closely with our hirers to ensure there are no surprises and where alternative plans can be made we will be as flexible as we can to ensure your event is a wonderful success. We actually find the weather all adds to the good old fashioned British theme (and it never puts people off their ice cream..!)

Question 6

Can we take photos?

Accepted Answer

Yes, of course - we encourage it! Although we can’t invite everyone into the vans for a photo opportunity, the bride, groom or guest of honour can come on in and get their photo taken whilst they serve their guests! We feel that our vintage ice cream van provides the perfect backdrop for that unique photo opportunity!

Question 7

Can we get in the van?

Accepted Answer

Brides, grooms and guests of honour are welcome to join us in the van for a photo and why not even have a go at serving your guests!

Question 8

Do you offer ice cream for different dietary requirements?

Accepted Answer

We will always do our best to cater for any dietary or allergy requirements.  We provide sorbets and great lollies which should suit most requirements. Please contact us directly to find out which ice creams and lollies will be suitable.

Question 9

How many ice creams do we get?

Accepted Answer

We price our ice cream van hire on the number of people. This includes at least one ice cream per person, But we know some guests have a sweet tooth and can’t resist coming back for more, so seconds are available within reason. We also cater to your specific requirements so if you want a personalised quote then get in touch.

Yes! It wouldn’t be a vintage ice cream van experience without them. We also like to leave with the chimes ringing, so you can wave us goodbye!
