Carnival Ices has been a family run business since 1980 - with heritage going back to 1965.
We pride ourselves on the highest professional standards, our long history has given us the experience in the industry that others can not rival. Our customers return to us year after year because they know we will look after them unlike some smaller businesses who do it as a hobby, only working one day a week without backup support or standards.
We are able to offer all major brands and all manor of flavored scooped ice cream and we are to provide unique personalised flavours for special events.
In 1965 my father brought his first ice cream van and started working for himself in Eastbourne. I was brought up to learn the trade as a child
I brought my first van in 1980 and still have the original van now that is used for vintage hire. It has been fully restored.

A real family achievement and reward for all the years of hard work and helping charities and other ice cream van owners.
