There’s no more welcome sight on a summer’s day than an ice cream vendor at a local beach or beauty spot. Locally produced gelato has become huge business in recent years as independent dairy farms have sprung up throughout the country.

Here’s your chance to be part of the industry resurgence! At The Big Coffee, we’ve been converting beautiful hand crafted ice cream vans and carts for over 20 years, with unique vehicles from the quirky Piaggio Ape to our ice cream trike.

Thinking about Ice Cream? Did you know...

There are two main types of ice cream: soft serve and hard ice cream. Soft serve ice cream is served at a slightly higher temperature than hard ice cream, giving it a softer and smoother texture.

Ice cream has ancient origins, with some historians tracing its roots back to as early as the 4th century B.C. Ancient civilizations, including the Chinese, Persians, and Romans, enjoyed frozen desserts made from ice and snow mixed with fruits and flavours.

The modern version of ice cream as we know it today likely originated in the 17th century, with the development of techniques for freezing sweetened cream.

The ice cream industry continues to innovate, with the introduction of new flavors, ingredients, and production techniques. This includes the development of vegan and dairy-free ice cream options to cater to dietary preferences and restrictions.
