Booked for Anniversary
Kaz and the team did an amazing job. Brilliant communication in the build up. Really went the extra mile on the day. The bbq we had first had not gone so well and the crepes completely saved the day. Everyone was going back for more and more. Highly recommend and we will use again for our next party for sure.

Booked for Birthday party
Dan recently did our garden party for my husband’s birthday. He & his partner were brilliant! They made an effort to learn every guest by name and spoke to everyone while making his ice cream blends which were highly customised to each person. It was a pleasure having him there, & everyone loved his ice creams. So much so that a few people took his contact to hire him for their upcoming events. He made the event even more special when he took a slice of birthday cake my mother in law made and turned it into an ice cream for people which was a nice touch.
Dan was extremely communicative & helpful through the planning process too - which helped me & my party-planning jitter.
10/10, couldn’t recommend them enough & will definitely be going back to them for more events in the future.
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.
Why Dessert Trucks Are a Crowd-Pleaser in Leicester
Leicester is a city that loves variety. With its mix of cultures, students, sports fans, and family-friendly communities, it’s no surprise dessert trucks fit right in. They’re informal enough for outdoor festivals and uni events, but polished enough to sit comfortably at weddings and corporate dos.
The beauty of a dessert truck is its flexibility. You can serve guests as they arrive, roll it out as a late-night surprise, or use it as a central feature of your event. It’s a talking point, a photo opportunity, and a sugar rush all in one.
We also love how dessert trucks suit Leicester’s event spaces:
Country estates
Athletic fields
University halls
Community fêtes
What Kinds of Events Are Perfect for Dessert Trucks?
Dessert trucks aren’t a one-size-fits-all gimmick. They’re genuinely versatile and work across loads of event types.
Weddings: Couples love using dessert trucks as an alternative to a traditional dessert course or as an evening treat once the dancing kicks off.
University events: From freshers’ week and society socials to end-of-term parties, dessert trucks bring instant buzz.
Festivals and community fêtes: They slot neatly into outdoor layouts, keep people fed and happy, and add to that seasonal market vibe Leicester does so well.
Corporate parties and celebrations: Ideal for milestone birthdays, engagement parties, and sports-themed events.
Matching Your Dessert Truck to Leicester Venues
One of the first things to think about is your venue. Not all spaces are created equal when it comes to vehicle access and power supply, so it’s worth planning ahead.
Country estates: Usually ideal with good access and plenty of outdoor space.
University halls: Slightly trickier, so you will need to confirm access points and parking permissions.
Athletic fields: Plenty of room, but be mindful of ground conditions if it has been raining to avoid trucks getting stuck.
Themes That Work Brilliantly in Leicester
Leicester events have their own flavour, and dessert trucks can lean into that beautifully.
Sports themes: Perfect for Leicester Tigers or rugby-themed events with themed treats or inspired branding.
Seasonal market vibes: Cosy winter desserts, indulgent toppings, and warm sauces for Christmas markets or autumn fairs.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Dessert Truck in Leicester?
In Leicester, you’re typically looking at around £200 to £600 or more per event for a dessert truck. The final price depends on a few key factors:
Guest numbers: More people usually means more staff and ingredients.
Event duration: A quick service will cost less than an all-evening presence.
Menu complexity: Simple desserts are cheaper than fully custom menus.
Logistics: Factors like travel distance and access difficulty.
What to Look for When Choosing a Dessert Truck
Not all dessert trucks are created equal, so it’s worth being a little picky.
Attitude: A friendly, engaging team makes a massive difference in the atmosphere.
Reliability: Choose a supplier who turns up on time and sets up smoothly.
Flexibility: Look for those who can adapt the menu for dietary needs or tweak service times.
Presentation: The truck should look clean and attractive.
