About

The Happy Cow serves vanilla soft-serve in a cone or tub, with sauces and toppings such as Biscoff, Oreo, praline, and mint crunch. It’s a roaming Bristol ice cream van rather than a fixed shop, and reviews describe generous portions, nostalgic Mr Whippy-style servings, and prices around £4.50–£5; check its social media for current locations and hours.
