Hi All,

We wanted to get Mr Whippy for our wedding in December, however, the guy who has the Downtown Auckland franchise has decided not to answer my e-mails and when I ring asks me to e-mail him.

Hilariously, forwarding my original e-mail to Mr Whippy to ask them to forward it to him (I figured I may have got the wrong e-mail address, or my webmail is getting sent to his spam box) achieved nothing. It appears soft serve is a recession-proof business as these guys clearly don't want my money.

Regardless, I still want an ice cream truck at the reception. Does anyone know of a lesser-known brand (one-man band type thing, I guess) who would like some work of a Saturday evening and that I wouldn't have to just about got on my knees and beg them to please, please let me give them some cash?

TIA

There is a "fixed" Mr Whippy in the Sky City movie complex on Queen St. Would they be a start point for a decent "human being to human being" discussion?

(I was wondering if this outlet had to play Greensleeves occasionally...)

Of course a simpler way would be to find out who supplies pizza hut and the various fast food joints

With Soft serve? Don't most of 'em have a machine in store?

Ahh, gotcha.

Hiring a machine is a last resort - I'd rather avoid the mess INSIDE.

Actually, with a name like Frosty, shouldn't you be able to assist?

Hey Mully, we've got our very own ice cream man here on KB. Give DB (Steve) a call.
He may have a deal for you or a contact in your area. :niceone:

You will have a lot of fun with that.

Try 08004WHIPPY. Their email system is piece of crap, and most whippys have an old 486 for a pooter. If you are still stuck, PM me.

Hrm, don't get the opposition.. seriously, you KNOW it tastes like cardboard and melts real fast and drips off your elbows.. It will be huge disaster for sure.

No caffeine, little to no fat and tastes like shit?
Fuck no. Wouldn't drink that even WITH nails in it!

Tried making my own sorbet once.

2 cups sugar, 7 oranges, 2 lemons, 2 mangoes and 1/2 bottle of vodka to prevent freezing.
Syrupy alcohol punch. What a fail.

I know of an Icecream serving caravan (i built it) that could possibly help you (they normally sell via Auckland showgrounds,very clean van). I dont think they serve soft serve, just standard flavoured icecream but not 100 percent sure on that. They also do other stuff like pikelets, slushies,milkshakes, coffee etc. Give me a PM if you would like his contact address/ph number.
Otherwise ring Tip Top, they have heaps of trailers for selling ice cream from (built two for them) and also ice cream carts.

Cheers

Steve, site rules. If you want to drum up business you have to register as one.

Surely you are joking?
Someone asked about an ice cream van
someone else suggested DB
DB replied

Doesn't really count as drumming up business.

Maybe I missed your joke?

Yeah, there's the kiwi icecream factory just down my road that sells really cheap, but it's ICECREAM and not sorbet. Where's this icecream factory? is it off Bush road, or..?

This one sells icecream but often has sorbet as well. Coming from Albany Highway its on your left about 100m before the first roundabout

if you do hire them, make sure they clean the machine before your wedding, those ice cream machines are flipping flithy

Juat schedule your wedding in a suburban street around dinner time, preferably just on dark in the middle of winter. You can bet your last dollar that at least 3 will jingle-jangle past your door followed by kids running after them!
