Vintage Ice Cream Caravans and Bike
Proprietor & Chief Scooper
Mark has been working in the wedding and events industry since 2012 and is the friendly face behind Caravanilla. When the opportunity came along to take over Olive, he simply couldn’t let her go – especially as she shares her name with his late Mum. Today, Mark can be found travelling across Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex, serving delicious ice creams and sorbets at weddings, parties, festivals and events. If you spot him out and about, be sure to come over and say hello – preferably with an ice cream in hand!
Events, Ideas & Expert Chatter
Kate is Mark’s wife and an important part of the Caravanilla team, regularly joining him at weddings, parties and events. Friendly, enthusiastic and always happy to chat, Kate loves hearing about your plans and helping you think of ways Caravanilla can fit perfectly into your day. Whether it’s choosing the right setup, discussing the little details or simply making sure your guests have a wonderful time, Kate is always full of ideas.
The Original Vintage Ice Cream Caravan
Meet Olive, Hampshire’s original vintage ice cream caravan and the lady who started it all. Born in the 1960s, this beautiful little Cheltenham Fawn touring caravan was lovingly transformed into the distinctive ice cream caravan you see today. With her soft vintage styling, unmistakable curves and plenty of character, Olive makes a wonderful centrepiece for weddings, parties, festivals and special occasions – serving delicious British ice cream with a generous helping of nostalgia.
Vintage Charm, Caravanilla Style
Lou Lou brings even more vintage charm to the Caravanilla family. Beautifully styled in Caravanilla’s signature pastel colours, she provides a picture-perfect backdrop while serving up delicious premium ice creams and refreshing sorbets. From elegant summer weddings to parties, corporate events and festivals, Lou Lou is designed to become part of the occasion rather than simply turning up to serve dessert – and she certainly knows how to attract a crowd.
The Vintage Ice Cream Bike
Bella may be the smallest member of the Caravanilla family, but she certainly isn’t short on charm. Our vintage-style ice cream bike offers a wonderfully fun and flexible way to bring the Caravanilla experience to your event. Perfect for weddings, garden parties, corporate occasions and venues where a caravan isn’t quite practical, Bella combines beautiful styling with delicious ice cream and makes a lovely little feature for guests to discover.
Caravanilla was such a lovely part of our wedding day. The ice cream was absolutely delicious, and on a warm summer afternoon, it went down so well with all of our guests – they couldn’t get enough!
The setup looked beautiful and fit the day perfectly. One of our favourite little moments was being invited inside the van to take some photos and even serve a few guests ourselves – it made it feel really personal.
We’re so glad we had Caravanilla there. It added something special to the day and the team were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish.
