| We are a family run business which was established 40 years ago, (1963). The business was started with one ice-cream van and was bought for £30.00. My nan who is Spanish helped to paint, clean and renovate this one van until it was roadworthy to enable my Uncle Eddie and Billy to earn a living, selling ice-cream from it. Next year, they bought another van and called the company Piccadilly Bar. It wasn't until later years when they started buying soft vans that the company changed names to Piccadilly Whip, to incorporate the Whipped Ice-Cream. |
I was only born in 1963, so I missed all this, but from the age of 11,
I have worked selling ice-cream either from a van, but mainly from an ice-cream barrow. My uncles had pitches all over London in Regents Park, Hyde Park, Houses of Parliament, Madam Tussauds and lots of other places. Now, these days we only have ice-cream vans, doing most major shows around the country.
See:(Our History of Shows). |
| My uncles have now retired and I run the business with the help of my family and staff. Our vans are the best in the country, they are all Whitby Morrison Built and we now have 11, none of which are over 5 years old. They are all identical and most of them are nearly new, as we buy new vans every year, and sell off the older ones. |
We still have licences in London and are registered with our Local Council, we have all relevant Health & Hygiene certificates as well as £10M Public Liability. We are also registered members of MOCA (Mobile & Outside Caterers Association), and
The Ice Cream Alliance.All our vans are suitable to work indoors or outdoors – come rain or shine. |
