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.

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.


Season to begin tomorrow!

Roberts Ices officially Kick of Ice Cream Season 2012 tomorrow. The Vans are set and we are ready, exciting Ice Creams are ready to be eaten  and The New Chime "Yankee Doodle" is primed.

Ice Cream Is Good Food - A Food Feel good Factor

Looking for good food? A treat, something sweet and possilby a little bit naughty?
Ice Cream delivers something most foods don't, and thats a feel good factor. A delicious Ice Cream can be just what you need if your trying to impress guests or just just impress your taste buds.
In our experience, especially with coorporate Hire, Weddings and Private Hire peoples faces light up knowing a Traditional Ice Cream is on the Menu.

Many play it safe and have the "99" and other are far more adventurous. How adventurous would you go? Sherbet Dipped waffle cones? Kickerbocker Glory? Boat Sundae? Or maybe an exotic fruity Sorbet?
Well if you fancy something Sweet, if you need a perk up, or just need to shut the kids up for ten minutes, Roberts Ices is always there with a smile :)
