Ice Cream

The cost of ice cream wholesale depends on the ice cream supplier, brand, flavour, pack size and whether you choose scooping tubs or individual portions. Our current range includes bulk scooping ice cream starting at around £1.20 per litre, with options across different price points to suit everyday menus, premium desserts and different margin requirements.

Individual portions can start from under 20p each, making them a useful option where consistent portion sizes and simple service are important.

When comparing products, look at the price per litre or price per portion as well as the overall case price. This gives you a clearer picture of serving costs and helps you choose the right option for your menu, customers and budget.

Our ice cream in bulk range includes a variety of formats for different types of service. Many of our scooping ice creams are supplied in 4L, 4.5L, 4.75L or 5L tubs, giving you plenty of flexibility depending on your available freezer space and expected demand.

Individual products are supplied by the case, with some of our current portioned ice creams available as 60 or 120 x 80ml tubs. We also stock other individual dessert style ice creams in different pack sizes, so it’s worth checking each product for the exact quantity and serving format.

Whether you should buy scooping tubs or individual pots of ice cream in bulk depends on how you serve it, how much choice you want to offer and how important portion control is. Our ice cream wholesale range includes both bulk scooping tubs and individual portions, so you can choose the format that best suits your setting.

• Scooping ice cream in bulk works well for plated desserts, where you might serve a scoop alongside cakes, brownies, puddings, waffles or other dishes. It also suits settings where ice cream or sorbet is served on its own and people can choose their flavour and number of scoops.

• Individual ice creams can be a better fit where speed, convenience and consistent portion sizes matter, including schools, hospitals, care settings and other high volume catering environments.

• Using both formats can give you more flexibility, with bulk tubs for dessert menus and individual portions for simpler or faster service.

Yes, you can buy vegan ice cream in bulk. Our range includes a number of vegan and plant based ice creams supplied in larger scooping tubs. Our options often include flavours such as vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, coconut, mint chocolate, salted caramel and honeycomb.

Many of these are available in 4L, 4.75L or 5L tubs, making them suitable for businesses looking to buy vegan ice cream in bulk. Check the individual product information and dietary labels before ordering to make sure the product meets your requirements.

Choosing the right ice cream supplier means considering more than flavour alone. Your range needs to work for your menu, customers, available storage and the way your team serves ice cream.

Consider:

• Range: Look for a good choice of classic, premium and more distinctive flavours.

• Formats: A useful ice cream wholesaler should offer both bulk scooping tubs and individual portions.

• Dietary choices: Vegan and other suitable options can help you build a broader dessert range.

• Pack sizes: Choose formats that reflect your sales volume and available frozen produce space.

• Pricing: Compare price per litre or portion as well as the overall case price to understand your serving costs.

• Availability: Reliable supply matters when ice cream is a permanent part of your dessert menu.
