Ice cream van hire for your next event
Uncle Tommy's is a family business that's been serving ice cream at birthdays, weddings, communions, school days and community events across Meath and Leinster since 1977.
Est. 1977
Ireland's oldest ice cream van
This is where it all started. The original Uncle Tommy's van has been serving ice cream across Meath and beyond for nearly five decades — same family, same welcome, generations of memories served from this window.
There's a lot of character in this van, and a lot of history behind it. It's part of what makes Uncle Tommy's different.
