Renting ice cream vans in Cologne: What you need to know

There are two options to choose from for an event in Cologne. Traditional ice cream vans come fully equipped and serve guests directly from the van. Ice cream bikes are more compact and offer greater flexibility in terms of set-up. They are a real highlight, particularly for smaller events, company parties or PR events. Both options are suitable for festivals in the Stadtgarten or private parties in Lindenthal, provided there is sufficient space available. Many suppliers provide containers, serving equipment and, occasionally, decorations too. At larger events, the suppliers often coordinate the serving process, thereby avoiding long queues.

What occasions is an ice cream van suitable for?

An ice cream van works well at many types of event.

• At festivals and corporate parties, an ice cream stand fits in particularly well between the buffet and the bar.

• For weddings in Cologne-Deutz or at event venues around Zülpicher Platz, an ice-cream bike is an elegant choice as a sweet finale after dinner.

• A mobile ice cream stand can also be usefully integrated into trade fair appearances, brand events or team-building activities.

• An ice cream van is sure to be a big hit, particularly at children’s birthday parties or school graduation celebrations.

• Less obvious, but equally possible: a mobile ice-cream stand as a dessert station at evening galas or to lighten the atmosphere between the programme items at a conference.

Renting an ice cream bike in Cologne: special features and uses

The ice cream bike does not require a motorised vehicle. It is the ideal choice for venues that are difficult for large vehicles to access. These include courtyards in Cologne’s Old Town, roof terraces or smaller party venues. Cologne-based providers often offer artisanal ice creams, sorbets or regional specialities on their ice cream bikes. The visual appeal is also part of the package. Many ice cream bikes can be customised with branding or personalised. This feature makes them an attractive option for brand events and PR activities. When making an enquiry, it is important to specify how many guests are to be served. The hourly capacity of a bicycle is generally lower than that of a fully equipped ice cream van.
