Oliver Goffe26 Jul 2026

Booked for Corporate Function

Although Vlad was friendly, professional, and clearly dealing with a difficult day, our experience was unfortunately let down by his punctuality. He arrived almost two hours late to our event, which was hugely disappointing and caused significant disruption. By the time food was served, some of our guests had already left. That said, the food itself was excellent - delicious, well prepared, and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who was able to stay. It's a real shame, because the quality of the food deserved a much better overall experience. Unfortunately, a delay of this magnitude is difficult to overlook, and it had a significant impact on the event.

Booked for Wedding

Flippin Crepes were absolutely amazing! All our wedding guests loved the sweet and savoury options we went for. The van looked beautiful too and it was just the best addition to our wedding day.

Booked for Corporate Function

Arrived in plenty of time to set up for our event with lovely friendly staff. Struggled to get a quick response from them for payment. Didn't respond to emails and left messages were never returned and had to keep calling back.

Booked for Wedding

We have booked Justin's beach ice cream for our wedding's evening reception. From start to finish Justin was amazing. He was super responsive, he went that extra mile of contacting and visiting the venue to make sure he is able to deliver the best possible service. Justin has kindly offered the selection of 7 different ice creams of our choice and that included a vegan option, which our vegan guests were raving about. He was on time and he was super easy to communicate to. I had a mango sorbet and it was super refreshing. Overall, it was a huge success, especially bearing in mind it was on a scorching day. I would thoroughly recommend Justin to any outdoor party, not only weddings, as he is reliable and also reasonably priced, and price/quality ratio is excellent. I would definitely book again for our first anniversary party and will recommend to friends and family. Justin and Justin's beach ice cream most certainly deserves more than just 5 stars! Very happy customers

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
