Booked for Wedding

Justin provided ice cream for the evening of our wedding in Winchester and it was an absolute highlight. The setup was well thought out, the service effortless, and the ice cream itself was exceptional — rich, flavourful, and beautifully presented. It was incredibly popular with our guests; so many people told us afterwards how much they loved it. Justin was brilliant to work with from the start — professional, easygoing, and clearly takes great pride in what he does. We’re so glad we chose him — a fantastic addition to the day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We were so thrilled to have Jamie at our wedding on Friday. From the moment we booked, the experience was fantastic. Jamie was incredibly friendly and professional, making the whole process seamless from start to finish. Our guests absolutely loved the options but the standout was definitely the strawberry angel delight !! It was a hit with everyone. The presentation of the van was charming and It looked beautiful in our outdoor setting and really was a great addition to our special day! We are so grateful to Jamie for being a part of our special day. We highly recommend him for any event—you won’t be disappointed.

I wasnt sure what to expect having never used them before. Contact at times was a bit hit and miss, however they arrived on time and the ice cream was amazing. Portions were a good size and everyone commented at the wedding how tasty the ice cream was.

"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!"
