Everyone loved the gelato…flavours are delicious. The Alby cart is 10/10. The owners - Alicia & Ben provide a great service, and are professional and lovely.

Tracey Campbell15 Sep 2025

Booked for Celebration

Gabriele was terrific and we had many compliments about the ice cream and sorbets - such interesting flavours! My husband’s favourite was the Dubai chocolate but I liked the strawberry and basil. All went like clockwork so would highly recommend Raga as an addition to your party!

Jeannettsy Borges29 Jul 2024

Booked for Corporate Function

A great experience having Little Spoon's serve gelato at our corporate party, one that left a strong positive feedback that is still talked about today. Thank you so much for delivering beyond expectations. If anyone comes looking for ice cream/ gelato rentals you'll be the one our team will always recommend first!

Alan & Marina13 Aug 2022

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

Booked for Wedding

thanks for coming up trumps at such short notice and making our day really special. You pulled out the stops to accommodate the time Of day we needed and at peak time at a weekend the fee we paid was good value for money. No problem at all with the slushes- the kids shared the two they had so all were happy. Thank again, we’d definitely use UK Treats again and Sebastian did a great job keeping in touch to make sure all was ok. Annette
