We moved back to the Milton Keynes area to be close to our families…. I just wanted more than anything to be me again!! I wanted to smile, be jolly and make others smile x
I announced to my lovely hubby and two boys that I had bought an ice cream van, they thought I had finally flipped! I wanted my van to be an extension of me and all my loves…. I hope that is what people feel and see…
I wanted to provide my local community with a slice of Hayley… pootle along in my van named after my Nan ‘Betty’ supplying my local area with locally made ice cream, excellent customer service with a huge smile….
The day I left my Nursery position I found out we had won Country Homes Magazine ‘New Country Business of the Year’ I literally skipped round the building!!! I really felt like my Mum was looking out for me, helping me along the way x
Running Vintage Scoops is a journey and one I am loving, it is hard work but very rewarding, I have met some amazing people and everyday I know I am truly blessed”
What Do You Sell?
“As well as the locally sourced ice cream we also supply a range of vintage ice lollies and traditional soft drinks. All served from a 50’s style ice cream van festooned with bunting, by me in my best floral frock!
It was all about revisiting my childhood, I sell lollies such as Cherry Brandy, Lager and Lime, Cider lollies etc and old fashioned sweeties from the jars such as sherbet lemons, rosy apples, Rhubarb and Custard…
The Ice Cream I sell is a produced on a local farm and is oh sooo pretty x I carry flavours such as Strawberries and Cornish Clotted Cream, Rum and Raisin, Vanilla Pod, Sticky Toffee Fudge!”

Thanks Hayley! I’m off to dream about a sunny afternoon wedding with Pimms and Mint Choc Chip icecream!

There was an ice cream van at the last wedding I was at! I think it was an opportunistic ice cream man rather than the bride and groom's idea mind you. It was a warm day and dinner was a long way off so it was very welcome!
