Favourite product 2013!

So here we are, the contest has only just opened and oh boy if you could have witnessed what I have, luckily our opening weekend of the favourite product competition was a bank holiday one, ensuring plenty of customers to indulge from the wide range Roberts ice cream vans offer. We have seen an outstanding example of the year ahead of us, with some products instantly on top spots and some which have hardly taken off...but there is plenty of time for things to change!

Before we reveal the top products so far and of course the all important number one so far, a little update on what else is hot and...sauces. Mind the bad joke, but its true, Roberts ices have introduced a fabulous new range of exciting sauces. So new this year we will also be finding which sauces are the most loved! The exciement seems never ending! 

New sauces included Vimto! Black Jack! Turkish Delight! Mango! Cola! And more...

Of course as expected all of Roberts Customers have been mind blown by the variety and choice offered. With the new sauces and previous flavours included Roberts Ices now offer 20 sauce flavours to top your ice creams with. 

So, it's about time we listed the top current 5 sauces. 

In 5th place we have.......strawberry! 

In 4th place we have.......Vimto! 

In 3rd place we have.......mango!

In 2nd place we have......chocolate!

In 1st place we have.......bubblegum!

A classic such as bubblegum is hard to beat but remember the 2013 contest has only just begun. We will bring you further updates of sauces later.

So for the main event! Favourite product 2013 brought to you by Roberts ice cream van hire. 

After watching closely over the bank holiday weekend we have discovers our previous champion the Marshmallow cone, has slipped! Sales of this before favourite are yet to reach near top spot. 

It has been close between three products so far, two established products on the window boards and one of which is a special Robert put on the counter top, so here we go!

In third place we have.... The Caribbean Twist! A newly introduced product which caught on and has raced into a strong start, coconut ice cream and mango sauce, a combination much loved, by a female audience, why we will never truly know but it seems to be a girls temptation.

In second place we have....... The bubblegum cone! Delicious and beautiful to look at. Bright blue ice cream with a turn your tongue blue ending, on a golden crisp cone it's becoming a favourite for children and adults alike. A massive competitor for 2012 sees the opening of this year to an amazing start. 

In first place for favourite product 2013 so far is... The single with a flake. You can beat a classic and you can't fake a flake, Roberts ices are proud to serve authentic Cadburys flakes in their ice creams. After the bank holiday weekend this is the product, this is what the people have been wanting from our vans, seeing as Roberts have been on big events the last week and longer its no surprise really this is what sells at events, simple classics 

And there you have it, we have only just begun and we already have three clear leaders, leaving the lemon ice cone in 4th place and at the very bottom, the apple cider lolly. Who knows what will come and what product will fight its way up to become champion of 2013. Will our last years winner make a quick recovery? Stay reading and find out! 

Introducing the Caribbean Twist from Roberts ice cream van

It's a lovely summers afternoon, your in the back garden, husband on the barbecue sipping cool beer, the kids run around the freshly cut lawn playing games. There you are, soaking up the warm air knowing you can stay just where you are on your newly bought lounger. When the evening rolls in you can sit by the table with the warm romantic glow from an outdoor fire patio heater. Before the sun goes down the delightful tinkle, that unique sound of an ice cream vans soft chimes whistles through the air. The children stop running around, faces gleaming with hope, your husband looks at you with a "I'm controlling the burgers" face, before you know it your at the ice cream van enjoying a lovely summer treat. A welcome happy smile and an ice cream to tingle your taste buds. 

But what's this, your feeling a little exotic, must be all that sunshine...well Roberts ice cream van has just the thing for you. A large tub, lined with scrumptious mango sauce, filled with fresh coconut ice cream and finished with a squeeze of pineapple sauce. A little invention Robert calls a Caribbean twist! 

Now a famous favourite! 

Make your summer afternoon like an afternoon sitting on the white sands of Jamaica, a Caribbean twist ice cream and maybe a sneaky rum and coke. Go on...enjoy a little luxury, a little...taste of the Caribbean. 

Summer is just round the corner... Honest

Summer... how do we know when its here? Do you listen to the weather man, your calendar with dodgy pet pictures, or do you wait for that delightful tinkle of an ice cream van's chimes?

Nothing brings summer in like the local ice cream van, filling the air with positive sounds and delicious treats for all. 

Robert's Ice Cream Vans are prepared, cleaned and ready for action, all that is left is to wait for the weather to change a little and Robert's Ices will be back and better than ever! 

The bookings are flying in and the customers are hungry, so look out for a Robert's Van near you! 

The Ice Cream Business...My View

To bring a smile to the children’s faces as well as running a profitable business makes running an ice cream van company a dream come true . Roberts Ices ice cream vans operate all over Kent, London, in fact all over the UK covering events from weddings ,music concerts ,fetes, fairs, school sports days and many more .We have built up a client list now that return year on year including channel 4,ITV,BBC.But although large events are great, to return to our local rounds and see the children jumping for joy at our arrival in their street still gives me a buzz that i never had working in the usual rat race of nine till five office .Our best selling items have always been the soft serve whippy 99 style ice creams although a close second is bubblegum ice cream ,bright blue and a taste the children love. Also very popular is our own invention the Candy cream ,a combination of soft ice cream on top of candy floss ,or cotton candy as its know in the states. To see our vans and products please visit www.robertsicecream.co.uk  i would love to hear if anyone has any other ice cream creations or inventions they would like to see on our windows .Another great idea has been children’s birthday parties where we turn up playing happy birthday ,invite the birthday boy or girl into the ice cream van and learn to serve the whippy ice cream to their friends them self .Children have great fun and we get very good feedback from the bookings. Anyway the sun is shining and I am going to get the ice cream van ready to bring a little happiness the streets of Kent .Listen out for the ice cream van chimes tinkle and we will see you there.
