Fantastic start to the season!! - Closed Sat/Sun 3rd & 4th March

 We will be away for the weekend upgrading the van and stock. We will be back at Yew Tree as usual Monday. Have a good weekend.

The new whippy van has performed well on it's trial run. We have managed to visit almost every street in Poynton since Thursday, and even though it's been a bit cold, it has stayed dry.

It has been amazing to see customers, old and new and we are looking forward to a great year.

We have extra bank holidays for the Diamond Jubilee, fun and games during the Olympics and the usual football games.

If you've not caught up with the whippy yet, we will be about all next week, so long as the dreaded rain stays away.

A Good Start to the Season

We made it to the High School yesterday and managed to continue around 75% of the village. The rest should be visited this afternoon and evening.

Here comes Summer, and Mr Whippy!!

Cheshire Whippy ice cream is coming Thursday

The final preparations are being made to supply  customers with the "Twin Whippy"Tomorrow.

The sun is promised for Thursday 23rd Feb, and subject to unforseen breakdowns etc, so are we!!


Most of the stock is loaded, the machines and freezers have been overhauled and finally, a thorough deep cleaning process has been undertaken.

It is possible, with fair weather and smooth running, we could be on a trial run Thurs 23rd - 24th Feb. The planned schedule is Yew Tree  3 - 4pm and then a quick two hour flyer before the darkness arrives.

On the maiden voyage, we will not have the daylight to cover all Poynton, but we will do the rest tonight.

As the lighter nights and warmer weather continues we hope to roll out the service to cover the whole village.

RETURN OF THE WHIPPY!! FEBRUARY 2012

SEE YOU IN 2012 - NEW TWIN BARRELL ICE CREAM - FEB 2012

 RETURN OF THE WHIPPY - LATE FEB 2012 - NEW "DOUBLE BARRELLED" MACHINE!!  - FRESH DAIRY - COMING SOON!!

We managed to serve some customers in November, but understandably, there were fewer and fewer of you prepared to brave the freezing cold. The arrival of the snow was the sign of  "CLOSED FOR THE SEASON"
We have been away longer than hoped, due in no small part to obtaining the correct NEWER, Whippy van. These vehicles are not like buying a new Mondeo.
The van is being prepared in our workshop now!!

We look forward to seeing you in late February 2012
