Elizabeth Anderson24 Jun 2024

Booked for Birthday party

Lorenzo's gelato was amazing - my personal favourite the mango and lime, but all the other flavours were highly recommended by others especially the chocolate. The fact they were all vegan too went down well. The unlimited aspect meant everyone could taste everything. Really complimented the main course which was Lebanese street food.

Grace Bell27 Jun 2024

Booked for Wedding

Excellent service! They arrived on time and set up perfectly for the ice cream to be an after dinner surprise for my guests. Ian was our server and was incredibly personable and all my guests raved about much they enjoyed this treat.

Steph Bennett20 Sep 2023

Booked for Other Event

Justin provided an excellent service, he was easy to communicate with and it was a clear and simple process to get the booking made. The novelty of the tricycle and the delicious ice cream was a huge hit with everyone. I would highly recommend Justin for any event.

Booked for Wedding

Can’t thank Jade enough for an amazing experience for all my wedding guests Food was wonderful. If I could I do it all again the puddin pod would be No1 in my list

Booked for Wedding

The pudding pod were fantastic. Lots of positive feedback on flavour, choice and presentation of their puddings. One of our puds was a knickerbocker glory. Jade created this with our wedding colours in mind and wow it was stunning 😍💜 and so tasty 😋 Thank you Jade and the team. 5 stars all the way ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
