Ice Cream Van Hire in Brisbane
Aarav Ices brings mobile soft-serve ice cream to Brisbane events of every size — from backyard birthday parties in the suburbs to corporate activations in the CBD and outdoor wedding receptions along the river.
Brisbane's Favourite Mobile Ice Cream Van Service
Brisbane is one of South-East Queensland's most event-active cities, with a warm outdoor culture that makes mobile catering a natural fit year-round. From the inner-city precincts of Fortitude Valley and South Brisbane to the leafy suburbs of Toowong, Indooroopilly, and Newstead, Aarav Ices covers the full metropolitan area with council-approved, fully licensed vans.
We've served at weddings in Brisbane's sprawling riverside parks, school fetes across bayside and western suburbs, corporate events in the CBD's office precincts, and birthday parties in backyards from Chermside to Carindale. Our vintage van is a particular drawcard at outdoor wedding receptions, and our modern fleet handles the volume of larger corporate and school events with ease.
Every Brisbane booking includes our trained, WWCC-checked staff, all relevant council permits and food-safety certificates, and a curated flavour range of 8+ soft-serve options. We carry vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and nut-free options on every van, so all your guests are looked after. Whether your event is in the inner suburbs or further out in the Greater Brisbane area, our team arrives early, sets up efficiently, and serves every guest with care.
Aligned with QLD Health food safety and Brisbane City Council licensing.
"Flavours were just spot on."
