About Frank’s Ices

Ice Cream Van Hire Throughout Ayrshire

Frank’s Ices began in 1981, serving delicious ice creams and sweet treats to happy customers at Troon beach. From these sunny beginnings, we have grown into Ayrshire’s leading family-run ice cream van business, with a modern fleet of new Mercedes vans that are fully stocked and always ready to travel wherever we are needed.

Today, we provide soft serve ice cream van hire for all occasions across Ayrshire. We regularly attend classic car shows, gala days, school fêtes, charity events, corporate fun days, weddings, sports tournaments, football events and open days, bringing our famous soft serve and slushies to crowds of all ages.

Frank’s Ices is proud to work closely with local councils, schools, football clubs and event organisers across the region. Some of the events we have supported include Playday at Kay Park in Kilmarnock, the Ruby Fun Run at Dean Castle, and a special Golden Day at Kilmaurs Primary School, where every child was treated to a free ice cream. You will also find our colourful vans serving treats around Irvine, Ayr, Stewarton, Kilmaurs, Kilmarnock, Dundonald, Symington and right across East Ayrshire, North Ayrshire and South Ayrshire.

We are fully licenced with all three Ayrshire councils and pride ourselves on delivering a professional, reliable service every time. When you book Frank’s Ices, you can count on us to arrive on time, deliver excellent products at a fair price, and create smiles all around. We would love to provide Ayrshire’s best-loved ice cream van service at your next event — contact us today to find out more!

‘Frank attended our wedding and was fab! He was really helpful and accommodated all our requests. He was really reasonable and didn’t hear the word wedding and hike up all the prices. Our guests loved it and it was perfect for the laid back wedding we were going for. 5 stars.’

‘Franks Ices attended our company Family Fun Day on the 4th Aug. He was brilliant from start to finish, he provided us with the tokens to claim your ice cream, was prompt and had a great rapport with all our team and their family and friends on the day. As soon as I know next years date, I will be booking again. Thanks for a great day.’
