Soft serve ice cream machine hire for events

Soft serve is the smooth, creamy ice cream that comes straight out of the machine, just like at the seaside. It is made from a mix of milk, sugar and flavouring that the machine chills and whips as it serves.

• The cart and ice cream machine, with delivery, set-up and collection.
• A server from our team who prepares the mix and serves. For safety, the machine is always run by our staff.
• Mix, cones or tubs for the hours booked.
• Toppings: cream, caramel, chocolate, dulce de leche, praline crunch and chocolate sprinkles. They can be swapped for others.

The machine has two 25-litre hoppers, one per flavour, and three levers: one for each flavour and a third that twists both into the same cone. You choose the two flavours when you book.

Each ice cream is served in under 30 seconds. Allowing for the next guest to step up, that is about 60 an hour. When a hopper is refilled, the machine needs up to 15 minutes to chill the mix again; our server plans around it so nobody notices.

• 2 hours: about 170 ice creams, using 1 kg of mix per flavour and 12 litres of milk.
• Full hoppers: about 200 medium cones per flavour, 400 in total, enough for a service of around 6 hours.

Serve it in a crisp 130 mm cone or an 80 ml paper tub. The ice cream contains milk; if any guests have intolerances, ask us for the allergen sheet before the event. The colour of the ice cream depends on the flavour and cannot be changed, but the tubs can.

At a corporate event, ice cream is the perfect excuse to put your brand in every guest's hand:

• Tubs with your logo: 70 x 41 mm, from 1,000 units, quoted separately.
• Cart wrap: a surface of about 100 x 50 cm for your design.
• Toppings and flavours chosen to match your colours.

Order branded tubs early, as they are printed to order. All the branding options are on our branded food carts page, with more ideas in edible merchandising.

• Corporate events: family days, summer parties and anniversaries.
• Trade shows and stands: quick ice cream without long queues.
• Conferences: dessert after lunch or an afternoon break.
• Weddings and private celebrations.

It also suits graduations, birthdays and school parties. If you would prefer scooped ice cream with more flavours, see our ice cream cart.

• Power: a standard socket nearby, 1,600 W.
• Space: the cart plus a metre in front for the queue. The machine measures 80 x 77 x 54 cm (H x W x D).
• Access: an easy route from the unloading area to the cart's spot.

To book, we need the date, the address, your chosen flavours and, if you want them, the branded tubs.
