Dr Waffle were absolutely brilliant and went down a storm with everyone at the office. Great service with a smile, wonderful freshly cooked waffles and deliciously decadent gooey brownies with amazingly creamy ice-cream. These people are a must for dessert at any party or occasion.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We were so thrilled to have Jamie at our wedding on Friday. From the moment we booked, the experience was fantastic. Jamie was incredibly friendly and professional, making the whole process seamless from start to finish. Our guests absolutely loved the options but the standout was definitely the strawberry angel delight !! It was a hit with everyone. The presentation of the van was charming and It looked beautiful in our outdoor setting and really was a great addition to our special day! We are so grateful to Jamie for being a part of our special day. We highly recommend him for any event—you won’t be disappointed.

Danny and his team were brilliant! They came to our corporate away day and they did not disappoint! They made 70 waffles within couple of hours they were delicious! Everyone at the event said how great they were. Dr Waffle is a reliable company, they were on time to the event really easily contactable and adaptable with that we wanted on the day. I would highly recommend Dr Waffle and we will definitely be booking them again if we have another event! Thank you so much!

Lovetagevents is run by a lovely couple. They are very accommodating to any requests on what drinks you would like serving and can make your favourite cocktails up. The ice-cream cart is absolutely a lovely idea. The cart first was used as a welcome drinks bar for quest’s, then they can turn it into the ice-cream cart. You have a lovely choice of 5 delicious flavours to choose from. They also, which is so lovely, decorate the bar and ice-cream cart to match in with colours/theme of your event. Definitely recommend them and will use them again.

Last minute booking for our garden party and so glad we did! Arrived exactly on time, friendly, great service and yummy ice cream flavours I would book again and I can definitely recommend

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

Your Ultimate Guide to Hiring an Ice Cream Van in Liverpool

There’s a special kind of magic that drifts along the Mersey. It's in the music, the iconic skyline, and the famously warm welcome you get from every Scouser you meet. But there's another sound that captures that same feeling of pure, simple joy: the cheerful jingle of an ice cream van.

In a city that knows how to have a good time, hiring an ice cream van for your Liverpool event is a guaranteed way to get the party started. It’s a nostalgic treat that cuts across all ages and brings a smile to every face. From a wedding on the waterfront to a festival in Sefton Park, it's a boss idea, and we’re here to show you how to do it right.

A Fab Idea: Why an Ice Cream Van is Perfect for Your Liverpool Event

Liverpool is a city with a massive heart and a brilliant sense of humour. It doesn’t do stuffy or pretentious. That’s why an ice cream van is such a perfect fit for the local event scene. It’s fun, it’s friendly, and it’s a bit of a laugh – everything a good Scouse gathering should be.

Forget complicated dessert tables. An ice cream van is the ultimate in hassle-free catering. The van arrives, serves up delicious treats, and drives away, leaving you with nothing but happy guests and great photos. It’s a fantastic way to add a pop of colour and a dose of retro cool to any celebration, creating a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can kick back and enjoy themselves.

The Best Occasions for a Cone on the Mersey

The brilliant thing about an ice cream van is that it suits pretty much any event you can think of. It brings a touch of seaside charm and festival fun that works wonders in all sorts of settings across Liverpool.

  • Seaside-style Weddings: With the city’s stunning waterfront, a wedding with a subtle seaside theme is a fantastic choice. An ice cream van fits this perfectly, serving as a quirky and memorable dessert option for your guests as they enjoy the views over the river.
  • Match-day Activations: Whether you're a Red or a Blue, the pre-match buzz in Liverpool is electric. A branded ice cream van near the ground is a superb way for businesses to engage with fans, handing out freebies and soaking up the incredible atmosphere.
  • Prom Nights: Make their last day of school truly unforgettable. An ice cream van waiting outside the prom venue is the ultimate surprise treat. It’s a cool, fun addition that gives the students a brilliant photo opportunity before they head inside to dance the night away.
  • Festivals: Liverpool hosts some incredible festivals. An ice cream van is an essential feature of any outdoor event, providing a much-needed cool-down for festival-goers and adding to the vibrant, celebratory mood.

About supplier

We first saw rolled ice cream in Thailand during a backpacking trip and we dreamed of how we could bring a slice of this paradise back to the UK with us. Faced with the realisation that life is too short and you should do what makes you happy, we decided to take a leap and set up IcyCurls.

Finding the Perfect Pitch: Top Liverpool Locations

Liverpool boasts a fantastic mix of urban architecture and open green spaces, giving you plenty of options for where to park your van. As always, you’ll need to think about vehicle access and get the right permissions, but the possibilities are brilliant.

We’ve seen suppliers set up in some truly iconic spots:

  • Waterfront Plazas: Imagine an ice cream van with the Three Graces as a backdrop. For a corporate event or a wedding, it doesn’t get much more impressive.
  • Hotel Forecourts: Many of the city's top hotels have the space to accommodate a van, offering a fantastic welcome treat for guests arriving for a conference or a party.
  • School Fields: For summer fetes, sports days, or prom nights, the school playing field is the ideal, easy-access location.
  • Arts Venues: The courtyards of venues like the Bluecoat or FACT are superb, creative spaces for a private party, and an ice cream van adds to the quirky, artistic vibe.

A quick chat with your venue and your chosen supplier is the best way to ensure everything runs smoothly. They'll know the score and can help you sort the logistics in no time.

Crafting Your "Pier-day" Perfect Menu

This is your chance to really put a unique stamp on your event. Move beyond the basic 99 and create a menu that your guests will be talking about for weeks.

  • "Pier-day" Flavours: Embrace the seaside feel with a menu inspired by a day at the pier. Think classic flavours with a twist, like a creamy rum & raisin style for the grown-ups, classic raspberry ripple, and of course, a top-tier vanilla for the purists.
  • Sprinkles and Flakes Station: Why let the server have all the fun? A self-service station where guests can go wild with their own toppings is a guaranteed hit. Set up bowls of hundreds and thousands, chocolate vermicelli, mini marshmallows, and a huge pile of Flakes for the ultimate DIY dessert experience. It’s interactive, a bit messy, and loads of fun.

The Numbers Game: Ice Cream Van Hire Costs in Liverpool

So, how much does it cost to bring this slice of joy to your event? You’ll be pleased to know that hiring an ice cream van in Liverpool is great value for the massive impact it delivers.

Typically, you’ll be looking at a minimum hire fee. This package usually includes service for an hour or two and covers a set number of guests. For the Liverpool area, this fee generally falls between £500 and £900.

For much larger events like a festival or a big corporate fun day, a per-head price might be used instead. This can range from around £3.50 to £6.00 per person.

The final cost will, of course, depend on:

  • The number of guests you’re treating.
  • The length of time you need the van on-site.
  • The event’s location and ease of access.
  • The menu you’ve chosen and any extra customisation.

The best bit? We make understanding the costs a doddle. On Poptop, you can find what you need effortlessly, with clear, upfront pricing, so you can lock in your booking without any guesswork.
