Booked for Corporate Function

Icey Rolls were fantastic at our recent event. It was not only delicious but also great entertainment and everyone loved watching the ice cream being made. The hardest thing was selecting the flavours from such an extensive choice!

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.
