Poynton Sports Festival

Join in the action in Poynton’s very own Sport Festival at your local Leisure Centre.

When: Saturday 29th June 2013

Where: Poynton Leisure Centre

Brilliant day, the weather held and everyone had a great day, well done to Erica and her team and everyone who made the day a great success!!

A Mr Whippy "99" really is good for you!!

Eat a lighter ice cream

The secret ingredient to the likeably lickable ice cream is … wait for it … air. When it’s whipped up in the machine, 1L of ice cream magically becomes a 2L serving. That means a Mr Whippy is one of the lightest summer snacks a man can go for. The 164 calories in a 99 compare well against the 220 in a Cornetto or the 275 in a Magnum Classic. You can work off a 99 in under half an hour in the summer sun. Ten minutes hard going in the pool or a 20-minute game of tennis will do the job. Or, if you can fi nd a secluded spot, 15 minutes of "fun" will also serve.

Add choc for heart health

The 32g of chocolate planted in your ice cream is more than a crumbly bit of window dressing. New research in the European Heart Journal found that people who ate at least 7.5g of chocolate a day had lower blood pressure and a 39% lower risk of having a heart attack compared to those who got by on a measly 1.7g each day. Although such benefits are usually only associated with dark chocolate, this study found the same effects with its milkier cousin – owing to flavonols in the cocoa, which build strength in the walls of your blood vessels.

So come on Mums (and dads) enjoy a fresh dairy whippy this summer!!

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.

England draw again

The Poynton whippy flew around to serve as many customers as possible so he could go home and watch the match.
It was not the greatest game (again) but many children were happy to get their whippy. Apologies to any who were missed, and all being well, we will be out and about Saturday and Sunday.

Out and about today in Poynton

Even though there is no heatwave, we will be out and about today. At least it's dry and bright. The schools are off, maybe we can tempt a few Whippy lovers.

We should hit the streets of Poynton around 2.30pm with some ice  cream to cool you down.

Poynton Whippy goes from strength to strength

Although the weather was mixed, we had a busy weekend in Poynton. The sun helped for an hour or so on Sunday.
Monday brought the school only service as does Wednesday.
At the moment (Tuesday) is dry and bright. If it lasts to the afternoon and evening for the full street service, all the better

A cool, busy week in Poynton

The weather has been cool but mainly dry. The whippy team have been busy right across Poynton. The forecast is staying cool for the weekend but we will be out and about just in case you still need your whippy.
Remember, Poynton Whippy carries a range of soft drinks, chocolate and sweets.

No Whippy for Poynton today

The Poynton Whippy van has been to the Whippy hospital and diagnosed with a faulty starter motor. Whippy surgeons are trying to locate a donor.
It is with regret that there is to be no service today. Mr Whippy is expected to be fully recovered in time for the school tomorrow, with a full service for residents on Tuesday.

Poynton Whippy Ice Cream

Today was the busiest day of the year so far for Mr Whippy in Poynton, visiting the skatepark at lunchtime and teatime making sure the kids had a fresh Whippy or a cool drink to keep their strength up. In between Mr Whippy managed to get round to most of the streets in Poynton. A lot of families had gone out for the day, but the ones that were in enjoyed their Whippy.

Stay safe and remember Poynton Whippy drivers have a current enhanced CRB check, the vans have full council hygiene certificates, the correct traders licenses and public liability insurance (not all Ice cream vans are the same)
If you are having a barbie or a party and "fancy a whippy" you can text most afternoons.

Mr Whippy has been busy in Poynton today

Mr Whippy visited Woodford Rd, the Bird Estate and the skate park by the Station. Next it was on to Gloucester & Buckingham before visiting Copperfield and Vernon Rd areas. We then called at Waterloo & Coppice Rd areas a flying visit was made to the sports ground before whipping round Glastonbury. By now Mr Whippy was tired and most of the children were ready for bed so it was time to head off to the ice cream factory to stock up ready for tomorrow.

On Friday Mr Whippy will be starting off at the Adlington Industrial estate in time for the workers lunch break. From there he will be working his way round as much of Poynton as the daylight allows.

Mr Whippy will also be around on Saturday and Sunday so we hope to see you soon. If you see Mr Whippy, remember you can "stop me and buy one" provided it is safe and legal to stop. Children always watch the road, and drivers please take extra care when passing any ice cream van.CLICK HERE!! CLICK HERE!! TO WATCH SAFETY VIDEO
