Booked for Corporate Function

Lewis from Riverside Whip always responded to any queries I may have had before our event. There was a wide variety of ice creams and ice lollies on offer as a number of our team was lactose intolerant so loved to know they could still enjoy an ice lolly! I would definitely recommend this vendor for any events you may be considering.

Booked for Celebration

We used Little Spoon for a family event. The ice creams were absolutely delicious - really good. (We eat a lot of premium ice cream - this was up there). It was served by a delightful man - the whole experience was great.

Booked for Wedding

Amazing ice cream! We had them for our wedding day and they supplied us with a list of delicious flavours to choose from. We chose Biscoff, Ferraro Rocher, Vanilla and Strawberry and Cream and they went down a storm. People were going back for seconds and thirds! Thanks so much for doing such a fab job 2 Scoops!

Booked for Celebration

Justin was such a good choice for our wedding reception. We could choose 5 different ice cream flavours which were homemade in Hampshire. He had a good choice of sauces and sprinkles. He was so friendly and made sure everyone got what they wanted. He was very reasonably priced. I would definitely use him again.

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.
