Booked for Prom

Great service at the event, plenty of ice cream. We did have to chase them to turn up and the whippy ice cream was not available but they had not contacted us or let us know until we called them 30 mins before the event.

Booked for Corporate Function

A great experience having Little Spoon's serve gelato at our corporate party, one that left a strong positive feedback that is still talked about today. Thank you so much for delivering beyond expectations. If anyone comes looking for ice cream/ gelato rentals you'll be the one our team will always recommend first!

Booked for Wedding

All our guests thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful ice cream Justin served with a friendly smile. Some even managed to sneak more than one!! Justin was a lovely, friendly man serving stunning ice cream for all to enjoy. I’m so glad we choose Justin and would highly recommend Justin’s Beach Ice Cream. Justin was new to the venue and the events organiser was very impressed. I hope Justin gets some future business from our wedding as he thoroughly deserves it. We would very highly recommend his services - a true gent!! Thanks again.

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.

Booked for Birthday party

The Land Doughver catered for my 70s themed 21st birthday party. Not only were the pizzas absolutely delicious but James and the team were all lovely and easy going, a real help to reduce the stress of organising a big event. They were self-sufficient and professional and we had so many compliments from our guests. Thank you the Land Doughver for making our birthday a night to remember!😊

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.
