Free delivery across Accra on two tubs or more
Parties and catering
We come and we scoop
Three ways to get Sundae to a birthday, a wedding, a launch or a Saturday in somebody's compound. Tell us the date and roughly how many people, and we will tell you which one to book.
Talk to usWhat we bring
Three ways to do it
One cart, one table, one van. What actually separates them is how many people are coming and how much of the evening you want to be responsible for.
For 20 to 50 people
Tub table
From GH¢ 1,450
Six tubs, nobody serving
We bring it cold and leave. The cheapest way to put ice cream worth eating in front of a room.
Six five-litre tubs, any six flavours on the board
A cold box with dry ice packed under them
Scoops, paper tubs, spoons and a cloth
Delivered anywhere in Accra
We come back for the box the next morning
For 40 to 100 people
Scoop cart
From GH¢ 3,200
Two hours, two servers
The pink cart, two people scooping off it, and a queue that keeps moving. This is what most birthdays book.
Three flavours you pick, kept hard all afternoon
Two servers, in aprons, who have done this before
Waffle cones, paper tubs, spoons and napkins
Two hours of serving, starting whenever you say
Setting up an hour early and clearing it all away
For 100 to 400 people
Whole van
From GH¢ 7,800
Four hours, four servers
The van parks where you point and turns into a shop. Weddings, launches, and one church harvest so far.
Six flavours on the board, swapped twice if you like
Four servers and somebody running them
The van, its lights and whatever it is playing
Four hours, and we stay on if the queue has not gone
Fuel and travel anywhere in Accra
From the first call
How it actually goes
Nobody has ever booked one of these without ringing first, so the first step is a phone call and the other three are ours.
Step 01
Ring or write
The date, the place and roughly how many people. One line is enough to start with.
Step 02
We hold the date
A third of it holds the day. We tell you inside twenty four hours whether the van is already out.
Step 03
We arrive early
An hour before your guests, so nobody has to watch a cart being built.
Step 04
We scoop, then we go
Every cone, tub, spoon and napkin leaves with us. You get your compound back.
Before you book
The bits worth saying out loud
Notice
A week for the cart or the tubs, two weeks for the van. We have turned a Friday round on the Wednesday before, but do not plan on it.
Deposit
A third holds the date and the rest is due on the day. Momo, transfer, or cash at the Osu counter.
Travel
Free anywhere in Accra. Outside it we charge GH¢ 6 a kilometre each way, and more than two hours out becomes an overnight for the crew.
Weather
The cart needs a canopy or it stays in the van. Ten minutes of Accra rain on an open cart is the end of the ice cream and the start of an argument.
If it falls through
Cancel a week out and the deposit comes back in full. Inside the week it does not, because by then the milk is bought and the flavours are churned.
Anything that is not on this list, ring 030 279 1140 and ask for Ama. She has quoted stranger jobs than yours.

Things people ask for
Every one of these has been asked for often enough that it now has a price instead of a conversation.
Ask for a quoteAn extra flavour
Four on the cart instead of three. Worth it when the crowd is half children.
GH¢ 350
Cones pressed on site
The smell does most of the work. Needs a plug within ten metres of the cart.
GH¢ 600
Dry ice under the tubs
A box, and about twelve hours of holding. It comes with a note about handling it.
GH¢ 40
One more server
Per hour. Past about a hundred and twenty people the queue tells you to.
GH¢ 120
Outside Accra
Per kilometre, each way. Tema and Aburi are the two we do most.
GH¢ 6
Your name on the tubs
Per fifty sleeves, printed. We need the artwork four working days before.
GH¢ 400
Before you order
What hosts ask us
And if the one you want is not here, ring 030 279 1140. Somebody in the shop picks it up.
How does it survive the traffic?
It leaves us at minus eighteen, packed hard, in an insulated box with a frozen gel pack sitting on top of the tubs. That holds for about three hours in an Accra afternoon, which covers everywhere we deliver to on the worst day of the year. Put it in the freezer as soon as it is in your hands and it will be exactly what left Osu.
Can I get dry ice for a longer trip?
Yes. Say so when you order and the box goes out packed with dry ice instead of gel, which buys about twelve hours: enough for Kumasi by road, or a flight up to Tamale. It is GH¢ 40 and it comes with a note about handling it, because dry ice will burn a bare hand and it is not a thing to guess at.
Is any of it halal?
No pork and no lard, no alcohol and no gelatine, in any of it. What is in a tub is milk, cream, sugar and whatever the flavour is named after, and the milk and the cream come from two dairies we buy from ourselves. If you would like the full ingredient sheet for a particular flavour, ring 030 279 1140 and somebody will read it out to you.
Do you make anything without dairy?
Two sorbets: the sobolo, and the mango and chilli. Both are fruit, sugar and water, churned on a machine we strip and wash before a sorbet run so nothing crosses over. The tigernut cream does have milk in it despite what the name suggests, which catches people out, so we say it twice.
Do you sell to restaurants and shops?
From twenty tubs a month, in five-litre catering tubs, delivered on a standing day you choose. Write to hello@sundae.com.gh and say what you serve and where you serve it, and somebody will come out to you with samples the same week.
What if it arrives soft?
Ring us and we replace it. No argument, no photographs, no form. Ice cream that has melted and been frozen again goes grainy and tastes of the freezer, and we would far rather know about it than have you eat it politely and never order again. That one is on us and not on the rider.
Tell us the date
Ring 030 279 1140 or write to hello@sundae.com.gh with the day, the place and roughly how many people. Somebody answers the same afternoon, most days inside the hour.
