Diana Owen3 Aug 2025

Booked for Other Event

Jo liaised and assisted with bringing the trike early so we could have it in situ, and it was then manned for the contracted period. The ice-cream was given 5* for taste and I would like to pass on all the compliments I received, and having the designed stickers relating to our event on the side of the tubs all added to making the day special. I would certainly recommend Jo's business for a summer event and the trike took up very little space in our garden but do remember to ask for the dimensions so that access is adequate for the trike to be wheeled into position.

Booked for Wedding

These guys were great, we got married in July thinking we would have pure sunshine, unfortunately that wasn’t the case but these guys showed up and fed us the most amazing gelato in the pouring rain! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed this extra sweet treat! We would highly recommend them. Communication and price point is fantastic!

Booked for Birthday party

Hired Brice ice cream for daughter's birthday party and it proved to be a great choice. All the guests really loved the Gelato ice creams especially the vanilla and the chocolate which is vegan. Lorenzo also provides a friendly service. Well worth it and highly recommended.
