The North Devon family firm has been making ice cream since1936, founded by David Hocking with one van - a 1928 Morris Cowley- which he converted into an ice cream van. His son David joined the business after the War, along with other family members along the way who have expanded both the business and the fleet across the years. Today, the Hocking family, under the management of grandsons Geoff and Neil and great grandson Andrew, still operate out of Appledore near Bideford and sell their famous and unique ice creams across the County from their fourteen company vans. The recipe for their vanilla ice cream has been handed down through the generations and has won numerous National Ice Cream Competitions, so if you are in Devon on holiday, make a bee-line for Hockings for the ultimate ice cream experience!
