Cart Hire
The Ultimate Ice Cream Experience
Tuist’s modern vintage carts are perfect for every celebration, including weddings, birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs PLUS school, corporate and other events.
When you book us, you get an ice cream experience – not just a scoop of ice cream. Our staff love making fresh butter cones for you and your guests and scooping ice cream happiness. Choose any four flavours of ice cream or sorbets to make your event special.
We have two sizes and styles of carts – a smaller, more traditional cart and a larger, more modern cart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Would like to book, but have a few questions? Please see below our most frequently asked questions. If you still have questions, please complete the booking form below or contact us.
Yes! We love to share as many of our flavours with you before you commit. Simply book a time to visit us at our market stand at Blaauwklippen Family Market any Saturday or Sunday 10:00-16:00.
We make quality ice cream that makes everyone happy, so talk to us about your dietary requirements (we make gluten free, dairy free, sugar free and nut free options).
We offer a two hour scoop experience PLUS an extra hour beforehand to stock the scoop freezer and to make the cones (right in front of your eyes).
Yes, and full shade! Keeping the ice cream frozen on a hot day can be a challenge. So, if you book us, we’ll need a plug point and (if we’re scooping while the sun is out) we’ll need to be in full shade (under cover or under a big tree – sorry, an umbrella is not going to cut it).
Both our smaller and larger carts need an area of about 2m x 2m (the larger cart dimensions are 1m420 (w) x 800 (d) x 1m400 (h) when folded down for transport and 2m600 (w) x 800 (d) x 2m140 (h) at it’s full extension while the smaller cart is 1m200 (w) x 1m (d) x 1m400 (h) when folded down for transport and 2m140 (h) at its full extension.
Our larger cart can, but not the smaller cart (ironic, no?)
No, that would be very bad and unsafe for our staff and lovely (and heavy) carts.
Yes, a 50% deposit secures your booking. The remainder is due one week before the event.
Your deposit is fully refundable (minus a R200 administration fee) if you cancel 8 weeks before the event date. After this period, the 50% deposit is non-refundable.
If you reschedule 8 weeks before the event, your booking will be transferred to the new date at no cost, provided the new date is not already booked for another event. Less than 8 weeks before the time, a rebooking fee will apply, depending on the notice period.
We set up the cart well before the event at an agreed time (usually in the morning) and then arrive 1 hour before your booked service time to stock the freezer and to start making the fresh butter cones.
No, please understand that our prices are fixed and carefully considered. We are a small business that only uses quality ingredients and we always pay our staff fairly.
That’s wonderful. Please send us an email or fill in the form below with the proposed date of your event, expected number of guests, venue and approximate time that you want us to start scooping ice cream happiness. We’ll get back to you with a quote within 24 working hours.
