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

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.

Booked for Birthday party

Justin delivered an exceptional service from the first point of contact to the event itself. Asked a week before what flavour ice creams we would like and then supplied additional topping, flakes, Oreos and sauces on top. His bike was immaculately presented and he set up with no fuss and within 15 minutes. He was polite, fun and fully engaged throughout the party. It did not go unnoticed that he actually stayed an extra 30 mins to accommodate late guests. A perfect service and you will not find better value for money. Good luck Justin and we will be seeing you again.
