Tameside is home for Austins Ices, so Ashton-under-Lyne is right on our doorstep. On one busy Friday in July 2017 we started the day at Printerbase in Ashton, where our Mr Whippy followed the hot dogs at their staff fun day, before heading on to three more bookings across Manchester.
Careful planning is what lets one van cover several bookings on time in a single day, and it means we can often fit in local Ashton events at short notice when we have availability.
From garden birthdays and christenings to school fairs, weddings and corporate fun days, there's no minimum spend or group size. Tell us your date and postcode and we'll come back with a quote.
- Local to Tameside: Ashton is right on our doorstep.
- Short notice: Last-minute bookings when we're free.

What people say after the van leaves
Austin Ices saved the day at our event! They turned up at very short notice & were fantastic. We will definitely be using them again.
Fantastic service and great ice cream! He arrived on time, was very courteous and most importantly the ice cream was fantastic. I would certainly recommend Austin.
Big thanks for the great ice creams on Saturday, your van is the talk of the town.
