Booked for Wedding

We hired Little Joy for our wedding during cocktail hour and it was such a hit with our guests. The flavours offered a wide range and received plenty of high praise from our guests. They were prompt to arrive and set up quickly and discreetly. Thank you so much for everything :)

Booked for Birthday party

I booked the Vintage Ice Cream Bike for my event and can honestly say it was the most delicious ice cream I had in a long time. Communication with Matt was fantastic and the service second to none. I highly recommend this for any event or party, I had loads of compliments!

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 Birthday party

Organised by ourselves fairly last minute however comms with the company were great & we managed to sort everything within a couple of emails. 31 degrees Celsius on the day of the party event, so was the best decision to have Frew & company turn up. The staff member was lovely & friendly, they setup & were ready to go promptly. Thank you making the event an enjoyable one & for taking care of the guests. Would highly recommend. (Suraj)

Booked for Wedding

Working to a small budget for my daughter's wedding in October 2022, I was delighted to find POPTOP as a resource of suppliers for virtually everything and in price bands starting at budget! Booked a vintage ice-cream cart from ASJ Group as dessert for 40 people. They were superb, everything went as agreed and expected, and it was a great choice. The staff were lovely - as was the ice-cream. The response from ASJ, when I was calling them to check on things, because I was having a bit of a panic, was exemplary. Thank you for your patience! Definitely 10/10.
