Booked for Anniversary

The process was very smooth for getting an ice cream van that would suit my budget for a community event. If you're having doubts about having an ice cream van, don't, especially in the heat wave were having. The event was a great success, and the children and adults very much appreciated the free ice creams. And the choice of having any old school type ice creams made for joy!

Booked for Wedding

We had a few different caterers at our wedding, and the Stone Artisan Pizza was hands down the standout! The food was absolutely delicious — guests are still raving about it — and the service was just as impressive. The team were so lovely, friendly, and efficient. They even went the extra mile by walking around tidying up after everyone, which we really appreciated. As the bride, I felt especially looked after — they were kind, thoughtful, and genuinely added to the joy of the day. Couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Tidied and cleaned away with no issues. Thank you for helping to make our day memorable. We would happily recommend Little Joy for any function.
