We all know and love a good Christmas dinner, traditional Turkey roast with lots of vegetables and other delights to go with it. But where did this tradition come from?
Before The Turkey Dinner, in Medieval England, The traditional meat served was either peacock or Bore. It was only in the 16th Century when The Turkey was introduced as the Christmas meat. In fact, King Henry VIII was the first Monarch to have roast Turkey.
The Turkey dinner thus spread throughout the nation during the 17th century and continues to do so today, however we have introduce many other meats and poultry to our tables.
So there you have it, a little Christmas knowledge to talk over around the table.
Have a Merry Christmas!!

Favourite Product 2012 - THE FINAL
Ladies, Gentlemen, boys and Girls, as you know we have been tracking the favourite product of 2012 all year long, and now is the time we conclude this years contest and announce our winner!
Every product on our boards this year has fought for this position, the list has changed many times and at stages there was just no clear sight of which product would win.
Classic products came back hard and took the positions of the new novelty ones, showing that you can't beat a classic ice cream such as the 99, however, some products have surprised us with their sales.
Of course we have to accept that the products position on the board itself, as there a places which are quick and easier to see by the public, we have taken this into account when calculating the winner.
So, the judging is finished, the results and numbers are in.
Without further interruption, I give you the Favourite products of 2012!!!
And first place is!
1st - Marshmallow Cone!
It has been the closest contest so far this year and taking this into account we have been working on the product boards of 2013 and we feel the contest for favourite product could get even closer next year!
Keep looking at www.robertsicecream.co.uk and our new product boards for 2013 will be coming soon!

The wettest Drought Ever
Has anyone else noticed this drought seems very wet? Hose pipe bans are issued and warnings of water shortages are spreading across the country, yet I cant seen to go out without an umbrella.
I understand a few months of shortage isnt made up by a few weeks of rain but, have the councils gone a bit extreme?
As the local Ice Cream man, there is enough rain to affect ice Cream Sales, but is there enough water for me to take a shower with peace of mind without being accused of causing the drought? Who knows.
Robert's Ices are still open for trade even with a poor weather, don't worry summer is coming trust me!

Warning to parents..road safety matters
There is an obsession the children seem to have, in their eyes its fun and games but could be putting them in danger.
This 'game' they have invented includes hiding behind ice cream vans and then running close behind the van when it departs. Parents i ask you to speak to your children about this, inform them of the danger the roads hold. What if that van moved backwards or whom ever was driving didn't check around? Thats your child under those wheels.
It may be an ice cream van but its still a Van on the road. We are here to bring indulgence and happiness, help us...join us, in getting rid of these road dangers once and for all.
There is only so much us ice cream traders can see and do to prevent an accident, help us by telling your children how dangerous the roads can be.
Roberts ices promotes road safety, and will always check around the entire van before departing. Constant mirror checks and being visual and alert. Robert is forever telling children to mind the road and be safe... will you too? Thank you

Kill the speed, not the child. Don't zoom past Ice Cream Vans
Too often careless and stupid drivers zoom past parked Ice Cream Vans at high speed, surely anyone with some common sense would slow down and be more aware when an Ice Cream van is about. There is a reason we have large warning signs on the back of our Vans... Pay attention to them!
I have heard stories of accidents happening when idiot drivers do not watch out for children, the most recent story I have heard luckily the little guy got off with some bruising and a lot of shock. But what of the Ice Cream Man...
Us professional Ice Cream traders always park where we can keep the children as safe as possible, but at the end of the day, the parents and the car drivers need to be aware that their children are still crossing roads.
These accidents are not usually on the Ice Cream Van's responsibility, yet the Ice Cream trader is always left feeling full of guilt, stress and upset when accidents do occur. Who in their right mind would let a 4 year old cross a road on his own? I mean, come on, seriously. What of the car driver also, they will go through incredible stress, upset and depression, because, it's not always their fault... PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CHILDREN!
Robert's Ices have luckily never witnessed one of these horrible accidents and prey to never see anything of the sort. Robert today said...
"I will continue to park my Van in legal and safe places, and will always tell the children to "mind the road" when they leave the Van. But the parents need to take responsibility, don't let your youngster cross roads alone, they are your children. Also, I send a message to car drivers, if you see an Ice Cream van, slow down, be aware, there are children about who may run out, get a clue, grow a brain and be careful. I would also like to say to any Ice Cream traders who may have witnessed one of these accidents, do not let it haunt you, its not your fault. Try delete that horrific image from your mind and remember that its the parents and car drivers who are to blame. But, please remember to park in safe places. If we all do our bit, the children will be perfectly safe and that's what its all about"
Keep it safe, Kill the speed - not the child! Lets enjoy Ice Cream safely!

Favourite Product 2012 Update
New developments of the favourite product of 2012 have arisen, as the sunshine is coming out and the weather is getting warmer more and more people are tasting Roberts Premier Ice Cream. The biggest favourite of 2012 as you would know is the marshmallow Cone. But can another Product take its top position?
Today I Bring you the New top 5 list of 2012, so you can keep up with the Roberts Ices favourite Products.
1. Marshmallow Cone
2. Hedgehog Cone
3. Teddy Bear Cone
4. Single with Flake
5. Bubblegum Sorbet
Although the Marshmallow Cone is the untouched leader so far, its closely followed by the Hedgehog cone, which has come into popularity at an incredible speed. Fresh Vanilla Whippy Ice Cream on a crisp cone, topped with four Cadbury's Flakes, finished with toppings of your choice.
It's Nice to see the classic Single with Flake cone come back into its rightful position in the top 5, at the end of the day you cant fake a flake and the classic "99" style cone has always gone down a treat with all ages.
The Teddy Bear cone remains in third position, the young ones do like the Teddy bear Wafers, thin and crispy and simply delicious. Not only the youngsters, but the women seem to love the cute looking bears too.
5th position was a close call this time, bubblegum sorbet just managing to reach into the high league over the Bubblegum Knickerbocker Glory. Clearly Bubblegum flavor is a popular one but which type of bubblegum treat will remain, and maybe even take a higher position in the favourite product of 2012?
Which would you choose?

Sunday Sundae
We all love a Sunday and most of us love a Sundae as well. It is fact that Ice Cream is Favored on a Sunday. Is it because its the day of rest and an indulgence is the "cherry on the cake", or is it simply because we are indoors and an Ice cream adds a little excitement to a lazy day. Whatever your reason is the simple fact is this... We Love a Sunday Sundae!!!

Behind the scenes of the Ice Cream Man.
The Ice Cream man, the figure who serves whippy ice cream from a Van that plays a happy tune. Always has a smile and in some case (like me) can talk forever!
But what most people forget, is that The Ice cream man is still a working citizen. A man trying to run a business in a tough industry in a country which isn't doing him much favors.
This is what I ask you, the public to remember, that running an Ice Cream Van is no easy task, its a job we do everyday of the week, even if were not on the streets, we are at events, or in the office. there is no such thing as a day off when running your own business.
Many people have mixed views about us ice Cream traders but don't forget this is our only income, its what we do and who we are. Its not a hobby its a way of life, and if we do not do it, we don't have food on the table. Everything is currently against our trade, all because a few bad traders have to spoil the good name of the Ice Cream man. Most of us are good, clean and proper. Even the council's work against us. Did you know Ice Cream Vans are being banned from Parks, fields, council estates, schools, and now even named roads. How they expect us to sell Ice Cream I don't know, especially now we have more laws about times we can trade and how often our chimes can ring...and what volume! The Ice Cream industry is not an easy one and with the 2012 London (LEZ) emission Zone even more Ice Cream vans will go out of business.
So next time the Ice Cream Van is round your way, remember, this is someone career, and if they run a good van and deserve it, don't worry about spending a pound or two. I know times are hard for us all, but small businesses like the Ice Cream Van are what is keeping Britain on its feet. We are trying our best to serve what is now a rare treat, soft serve whippy ice cream which can be found only in a few places, and it something that all ages love and have done for many many years.
Ice Cream Men are real people running a honest difficult career.

How To Know Who To Hire
Ice Cream Van Hire can be a tricky thing to get organised, with many Ice Cream Vans trying to cover one area and so many competitors, how do you know who you can trust? There are a few ways you, as the client, can tell if your hiring a good Ice Cream Van, and the first part is your personal impression, is the person your dealing with friendly, professional, clean, do you feel you as a person could trust them. This is the first step, but of course there is a lot more to it than just that.
Here at Roberts Ices we have something many do not, we have an official booking system. so what does this mean? This means when you make a booking with us, we will not let you down. We are proud to say we have never let a customer down, we send out written confirmations. We send you legal confirmation saying that the date and time you have requested is yours in our calendar. It pains us how many unprofessional Ice Cream Companies are out there who are letting people down day after day, but here at Roberts Ices we are different, we are professional and reliable.
Another major part of choosing your Ice Cream Van is checking up to date licences, hygiene certificates, public liability insurance, trading licence, HASAP and risk assessment. If an Ice Cream company does not have these, then do not book with them because you don't know what your in for. It is always better to go legal and professional. Roberts Ice Cream Van Hire holds all the mentioned above and more, for your peace of mind.
Products. Another key part in choosing an Ice Cream company. lets be honest why should anyone put up with a low quality ice cream van which serves only a few whippy products, wheres the fun and enjoyment in that!?
We know of poor Ice Cream Vans who have minimal products, do not serve anything as far as toppings....How can someone call themselves an Ice Cream company and not have sprinkles. This make me sad how so wrong some people are treating this industry. At Roberts Ice Cream Van Hire we have vast products (See our products page for more details) from fresh whippy served in various types of cones and other edible containers as well as many tubs and other forms of non-edible containers. We think visiting an Ice Cream van should be a great experience and we have a product for everyone, luxury adult products to child friendly inventions .
Also, be sure to check your value for money. Remember this, with the ice cream industry you pay for what you get. If you want to go with a really cheap quote then the Van and Ice Creams will not be to your satisfaction, the higher quotes are always the more value for money in the long run. Quality comes with the price, so don't settle for second best.
Here at Roberts Ices we are proud of who we are and what we do. we know we will make your event, wedding or whatever it may be, a bit more special. We have many years experience, and we promise you not only a professional friendly service, but the best quality Ice Creams and of course your Value for money. Speak to us today to discuss your event

Ice Cream Van Hire Latest News. Truth about the Business and Industry
Looking for an Ice Cream Van? Lets be honest, everyone knows how terrible certain ice cream vans can be, many do not hold any licence, hygiene certificates or anything of the sort. Too many cow-boy ice cream traders are at large harming this industry and destroying the good reputation us quality Ice Cream Vans build. Too often we are rescuing worried brides and grooms because an unprofessional ice cream trader has let them down last minute, how some traders can do that to a wedding, someones special day, I don't know.
Many people believe that with an Ice Cream Van its just "jump in and go" well I'm here to tell those people that is far from the truth. Dealing with fresh product everyday is a challenge in its own, handling fresh whippy, cones to even bread rolls for hot dogs. Everything has to be monitored, temperature checked and of course CLEAN.
Everyday Our Ice Cream Vans are cleaned from floor to ceiling, inside fridges, whippy machines and everything inside the vans. We run our vans like a professional kitchen should, efficient, clean and properly.
At Roberts Ices we believe in supplying only the very best, legal and safe Ice Cream. Which is what we think every Ice Cream Van should be doing. Many times our customers have come to our vans to tell us about other ice cream vans they have seen and the filthy habits these vans have, which makes us sad that this is happening.
The ice Cream Van has always been a positive place to be, child friendly, and a happy safe environment. Unfortunately this is not the case with many other companies and they know who they are.
But please remember we are not all the same, there are some very good Ice Cream Van Hire Companies out there still and Roberts Ices are proud to be one of them.
Many may frown upon what I am about to say but I am not afraid to speak my mind. The highest percentage of The Ice cream Industry is now owned by foreigners, immigrants who have come to England looking for easy work. This is where things go horribly wrong and hygiene laws are broken and Ice Cream Vans and the industry is frowned upon. Many customers say they would like to be served by someone who can actually speak English, now, I am not blaming the industries fall upon the foreigners there are many reasons why Ice Cream Vans can be an uneasy place to visit especially in London. I also know for a fact that there are many foreigners in our country who have done a fantastic job both in the Ice Cream Trade and others and they too know who they are and I am proud to be friendly with these companies.
Many years ago Ice Cream was much different, but our industry has to move with the times as much as any other, prices of our ingredients go up and up every year and now supermarkets have decided to try and kill us off too. Please, many of us are good people and run good Ice Cream Vans, understand we cannot do our lollies at prices the same as supermarkets because its impossible for us. The Price of Milk and Sugar also means Whippy is far more expensive that ever before so to carry on serving this rare and tasty treat, we need to charge for it. OK, many companies again in London or the coast will try to totally rip you off and this is when yes you shouldn't have to pay stupid prices. Us normal Ice Cream Traders will give you the best prices we can but remember this, we too have families to feed, houses to keep and lives to live. This is OUR living and income its all we have.
Roberts Ices would like to assure customers and everyone else we do run a top of the range company we have more than the required certificates and licences. We serves fresh food everyday and at good prices. We love this industry, help us love it for what it should be.
