Common Questions
Is there a minimum number of guests for a birthday party?
No. We don't have a minimum spend or a minimum group size, so we cater for parties of all sizes.
Can you come to a private house?
Yes, provided there's suitable access and parking for the van — a standard parking space length and solid, level ground (tarmac or solid gravel is preferred over soft grass).

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.
