Original camper cart
Croydon business launches new Surrey camper ice cream cart
Upcycled classic campervan parts to create an ice cream cart
During the days of lock down, Buttercup Bus Vintage Campers were pretty quiet on the events scene. Nathalie, the business owner, decided to put the time to good use, and took up welding lessons. With these new skills, she made a campervan popup ice cream cart, complete with headlights that light up, and a gorgeous oak work top.
A unique Ice cream cart hire in Surrey
It’s all about the styling – we have something unique that will entertain and charm your guests – provoking conversation and smiles. The neon sign is the biggest one that the company have had custom made to date – featuring the words “Eat broccoli tomorrow, today is for ce cream”. This combined with the cream parasol, bunting and pretty campervan ice cream cart, really sets the scene. In these photos, the balloons and sail board backdrops were added by Lily Jones Evenets – the perfect addition to any set up!
The ice cream options
The set up is scaled to serve up to 160 people UNLIMITED ice cream. We have over 100 flavours of delicious gelato and sorbet, made by a local, artesian, award winning supplier. The full flavour list can be seen on the ice cream cart flavour list here.
There are the classic, old favourites – such as vanilla, strawberry and chocolate – but also dessert inspired Dulce De Leche, Banoffee and Oreo Cookies & Cream. For those looking for a vegan option, the sorbet list comes with lots of refreshing flavours such as watermelon, kiwi or exotic tropical fruits, to name a few.
There are even seasonal options, such as Crème Egg or Christmas spice flavour!
