How much does it cost you for an Ice Cream with flake from the van?
I was out last weekend and the little one was asking for one but I was astounded to see them at £5 each!
Well last year they ranged from £3.50 to £5, in Bridlington they were £5+, no idea this year, at these prices my kids won't be getting one, plenty of lollies ect.. on freezer
Very sadly I cannot remember the last time I saw an ice cream van, it's all gellato and posh ice cream shops wherever you go nowadays
Local ice cream van that comes around the streets each weekend charges £2.00 for a Mr Whippy Ice cream and an extra 50p for the flake . He doesn't seem to do much trade thou really, but I know this is quite cheap when compared to a tourist area.
A large cone from our ice cream van is £3.40. That is a double cone, with a flake and sauce. We were at the ice cream van last night that's why I remember. We don't use it often but occasionally get our son an ice lolly as a treat.
Last time was Cuneos in Sheffield in May when Fake Festival was on & cost me £2.50 for a large cone with Chocolate Sprinkles as I stood outside the park enjoying the music for free on my walk home from my all day overnight shift.
Bradley Walsh buys this when in our city , there was a recent photo of him & the owner of the ice cream van!!
I get the nostalgia moment , and was mortified when he didn’t know what a popeye was .. please tell me you remember??
Prices are £350-£5.00 cone extortionate. Another one near me does homemade tubs that’s more useful and Italian
My local ice cream van that comes out side my street has a single cone ice cream for a pound.
If I go in to town then the same ice cream costs me nearly £5.
So what I do is get a 2 litre tub of ice cream from Tesco for £1.53 and then a 21 pack of cones that cost around £1.50 and then a bottle of strawberry sauce for another £1 and some sprinkles for another pound if I needed an ice cream at home.
So both ice creams taste different.
Like both
We have a local ice cream van but don’t use it. I have occasionally bought from a van on the beach on a hot day but quite expensive. I don’t like the whippy stuff anyway and usually choose something else. Much cheaper to buy multi packs from supermarkets though if you are at home.
Last I bought one it was £5 so I won't be doing it again in a hurry.Just got 4 Lidl cornettos for about £2.
Our local ice cream van certainly has a single cone with a flake for £2.50 Just started turning up randomly a few weeks ago - cant resist it when he does turn up
It’s about £5-6 each. You need to pay by card as loose change don’t get you anything these days
Our local ice cream van charges £4.00 for a double cone, noticed it when walking apst the other day, I carried on walking.
Ooo prices gone up with flake £5 without £4 our side if your buying in cup around £6.50 and (after eating sore throat FREE)
Expensive where I am about £4 where I am. We hardly got ice cream this year. Went to the shop instead of van. Perfect the van but it's money
Wow no van comes here,recall going out every day in the 1980s ,got two choc ices and two chocolate wafers for 87p
Sarahvwomble Cheaper back then wasn`t they. Do you remember the Cider Lollies off the van. I absolutely loved those. Nothing these days can ever compare to that lolly. Lyons Maid made them. Full of flavour too.
Emerge11 no don't recall those,sound good,I used to love the fruit flavour ice lollies with an ice cream centre,used to treat myself to one on walk home sometimes in the 1980s...
£2.50 for a small ice cream cone. But, if you want sprinkles, flake etc it’s £3. Personally, I wouldn’t pay more than £3
