Tony`s Icecream Van

Tony’s Ices has built a strong reputation for one simple reason — when this van pulls up, you know you’re about to get proper quality desserts done on a big scale. Regularly spotted around Ponteland, Darras Hall, and Belsay, Tony’s has become a local favourite for those who know exactly where to go when the sweet tooth kicks in. On this visit, it was time to go all in with two of Tony’s standout ice cream boats — the Biscoff Loaded and the Sherbet Madness — and from the first look alone, these weren’t your average ice creams. Both were absolutely packed, overloaded with toppings, dripping in sauce, finished with flakes, and built more like full dessert experiences than a quick snack. The Biscoff Loaded delivered exactly what you’d hope for — rich, sweet, indulgent, and packed with that unmistakable Biscoff flavour. Every bite felt loaded with extras, making it a proper treat for anyone who likes their desserts big, bold, and unapologetically over the top. Then came the Sherbet Madness — a completely different kind of chaos in the best possible way. Bright, sweet, fun, and full of flavour, this one brought a playful edge that made it just as memorable. One thing Tony’s does exceptionally well is portion size. These aren’t desserts you casually finish without a challenge — they’re generous, messy, and part of the fun is trying to keep up before everything melts. It’s the kind of food experience that’s as entertaining as it is tasty. What really makes Tony’s Ices stand out is consistency. This isn’t just a one-off novelty van — it’s a trusted local dessert stop that regularly serves the Ponteland and Belsay areas, making it a go-to for locals who want reliable quality. For anyone wanting to track Tony’s down, you can usually find him around the Ponteland area, Darras Hall, and Belsay, and even easier, you can locate Tony’s Ices directly through the Find a Treat app — making it simple to catch the van wherever it’s stopping next. Overall, Tony’s Ices is far more than an ordinary ice cream van. Big portions, loaded desserts, proper quality, and a loyal local following make this one absolutely worth seeking out. If you hear the music or spot him on Find a Treat, follow it — because Tony’s Ices is delivering dessert done properly.
