Fundraising
Profit split
Agreed in writing
Families pay at the van and the PTA receives an agreed share of sales. No booking fee and nothing to pay up front.
Three ways to book
Pick the model that suits your school or PTA. We put the terms in writing first.
Host pays
Classic 99
£2 per head
Soft serve with a Cadbury flake, paid by the school or PTA for the children attending. A £100 booking fee applies, deducted from the final invoice.
Self-pay fair
Hourly
£50 to £100 per hour
For fairs where families pay at the van. High-footfall events may qualify for no attendance fee or a profit share; where footfall cannot be guaranteed an hourly fee of £50 to £100 may apply. No booking fee.
The £100 booking fee applies only to the host-pays Classic 99 option, where it secures your date and is deducted from the final invoice. Profit-split and pay-at-the-van events have no booking fee.
Events we do
- Summer fairs and fetes
- Sports days and end-of-term celebrations
- Leavers events and proms
- Open days
- Firework nights and Christmas fairs, with hot desserts as well as ice cream

Working with PTAs
PTA guidance recommends agreeing either a fixed pitch fee or a percentage of takings in writing before the event, and choosing food that complements the PTA's own stalls. We are happy to work that way: tell us what your PTA already sells and we will fit around it.
School or PTA enquiry
Questions
£2 per head for a Classic 99, which is soft serve ice cream with a Cadbury flake, when the school or PTA pays. For that option a £100 booking fee secures your date and is deducted from the final invoice. Fundraising profit-split and pay-at-the-van events have no booking fee.
Yes. We offer fundraising profit-split arrangements. We agree the arrangement with you in writing before the event so everyone knows the terms.
For a profit split, no. There is no booking fee and nothing to pay up front. Families buy from the van and the PTA receives an agreed share of sales. We agree the share with you in writing before the event so everyone knows the terms.
There are three: the school or PTA pays £2 per head; a profit-split where the PTA receives an agreed share; or a self-pay fair where families pay at the van and we charge £50 to £100 an hour, or agree a profit share for high-footfall events. There is no booking fee for the profit split or the pay-at-the-van option.
As early as you can. Summer term fairs and sports days tend to fall on the same few dates, so we recommend enquiring as soon as your date is set. We take bookings for every term, winter included.
Yes. We are available to book all year round, including winter. Our hot desserts, sundaes and soft serve work at autumn and winter events as well as in summer.
Yes: public liability insurance, a Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate, a Street Traders Licence, and full allergen information. We will send whatever the school needs.
