Booked for Private party

"We were really pleased with the service from Traditional Ice Cream Tricycles! Julie’s communication was brilliant before our party, and she really helped us decide exactly what we needed. On the day, Julie arrived on time and was friendly and professional. Julie was great with all the guests, serving from the bike and taking ice cream round with lots of smiles, despite the cold weather! I would definitely recommend Traditional Ice Cream Tricycles, thank you, Julie!"
