Matilda is the second vehicle of Polly’s Parlour and is based in its home in Reading, Berkshire.
Owned and managed by the wonderful Sally and Rod, Matilda offers a delicious and unique experience within the South of England appearing at weddings, festivals and corporate events in and around the bordering countys.

Matilda is a vintage ice cream van that makes people happy and smile wherever she goes, it’s not hard to see why. She makes us smile all the time, and we especially love it when people wave at us whilst driving.
Inside Matilda, there are bespoke holdover freezers that require no running engines, generators or electricity during the day. This allows us to create a wonderful experience ensuring peace and quiet for you to enjoy our delicious ice creams.
Matilda is extremely photogenic. As well as serving delicious desserts to your guests, she has also featured as a prop for vintage wedding shoots, old fashioned sea side shoots, retro magazine covers, film and tv back drops and could be for anything else you can think of.
Our special Volkswagen’s can be commissioned for use in TV, films, documentaries, adverts or brand launches. We are really approachable – even if you think your ideas are unusual, please feel free to contact Polly’s Parlour.
