Hooray's British Gelato Kitchen in Stratford-on-Avon

Great choice of flavours, delicious ice cream, and a generous portion too!

We popped into Hooray's for waffles & ice cream & what a treat! The portions were generous & very reasonably priced. The gelato was fantastic & so many flavours to choose from. I recommend snickers & blueberry cheesecake ones. The staff were super friendly & helpful even topping up our water bottle for us before we left. They were also extremely efficient, serving the steady flow of customers quickly & calmly even when there was a rush. You can even buy tubs to take home for the freezer. It's just as well I don't live closer as I'd be the size of a house! If you're in Stratford you've got to get dessert from Hooray's.

The gelato choices are great, pistachio nuts ice cream (normal and vegan version) could be there highlighted ice cream menu in the shop, the vegan version is nice, with a tune of patischio taste but the sugary was slightly overtaken. Looking forward to if they have a keto version will be a bonus.

My favourite Gelato outside of Italy. This place never fails to disappoint with a broad range of flavours and I think what represents value for money based on the quality of the produce. Keep up the good work!

Our must go ice cream shop on every visit to Stratford! :)

Great selection of tasty ice-creams, with a good selection of vegan flavours too. Absolutely delicious waffles, crepes, sundaes, or just a tub of ice-cream. It's a bit expensive for what it is, once you start to make your own it's around £15 which is very expensive for a crepe, ice-cream & topping hence the 4 stars, but great as a holiday treat.

A really lovely place to pop into and have a nice desert from the extensive menu. I personally went with the mint choc chip ice cream and loved it. However, it seems they have a brilliant selection of Shakes, Waffles, Crepes : whatever you feel like! Would recommend, prices relatively steep but nothing ludicrous for the size of the portions. Lots of seating is also offered for families with kids, but I’d suppose most people pop in and out with their ice creams. There’s also a great Vegan selection for those who wish.

Great vegan options for gelato/sorbet

quite busy but if you dont mind the wait its amazing

Nice 🙂 but a little pricey for what you get

We have been here a couple of times and obviously like the ice cream but we have noticed that the portion sizes can vary considerably. So much so that we queried the size of our single cones on our visit last Saturday. In hindsight I shouldn't have bothered given the bemused look from the lass behind the counter. Given our experiences, and at £8.90 for two cones. I guess opinions on the value for money will vary. I understand the difficulties in trying to standardise but a spatula serving spoon must be the least accurate. Something more informative I should have asked was, are there any artificial colours, emulsifiers or the like in the ice cream. The fluorescent orange and blue flavours did look rather unnatural. Regardless of the above, there will always be a queue.

Excellent service and delicious food. We have been to Hooray's each time we visit Stratford-upon-Avon, and we have never been disappointed. The gelato is superb, extremely tasty and we always look forward to trying new flavours. There is a brilliant selection of flavours and the waffles and crepes are great too. The portion sizes are generous too. Today, I had the Kinder Mini Waffle, which was incredible! We will definitely be back next time we are in Stratford-upon-Avon, I only wish we lived closer to be able to come more often!

Regular customer since 2019, over years, their gelato has been growing bigger and bigger. Eton mess is definitely 💯

Wonderful ice cream shop with lots of different tastes

good size question on a very hot day had 2 candy cones and sat in cool inside probably the best ICE CREAM I've had in many a year the TASTE and SIZE

It was hot weather so I stopped for an gelato and it was amazing. It cooled me down, tasted great and wasn’t too pricey. The service was good but due to the popularity they were rushed and always had a queue adding pressure. The atmosphere was nice but it was loud and was quite tightly packed for bathrooms and the downstairs floor. The upstairs was very nice and a lot quiet with only 4 people up there leaving it to be relaxing. Worth going to if you have time but if you don’t the queue is too long.

Fantastic experience, lots of flavours available and heaps of options. Tried the lemon and the strawberry,both were delicious. Would definitely return again.

Vegan gelato oh hello! Well what can I say the device was brilliant, advising of potential contaminants and allergy advisers. The range was amazing, I mean we normally get one nominal sorbet but no, not this time , we had a whole freezer to ourselves (other vegans welcome, of course!) white choc chip and mint was heavenly, salted caramel was divine, and choc cherry omg…… and sorbets too flippin heck c’mon vegans how often do you get a choice like that eh? And the flavours did not disappoint I can tell you, yes we went 3 times and worth every penny, ps don’t forget your loyalty card

lovely staff & generous portions!

The tastiest ice cream you’ve ever had! Amazing flavours for all the family to try there’s definitely something for everyone! Service is always prompt and friendly the little toy area is great for the little ones to explore.

Stumbled across this place when we were balls deep in Shakespeare culture ☺️ The Vegan options are insane here, they even had a Kiwi gelato! But the show stopper is the Banana flavour mixed with the salted caramel … oh my days🤤 Very reasonable prices and huge scoops too!! - Get involved 😍 10/10 Bonus points - Vegan Gelato like this is hard to find 🍨 Amazing service 👩‍🔧

We visited on Sunday 23rd for my partners birthday,on that day, after having a disappointing pre booked meal at a well known pub,we had already thought we'd visit you for pud,we sat outside and the puds we had were lovely,my partner said he'd have my choice Banoffee Waffle next time,the servers both at the till and the table were very nice, thank you,we are locals so we return to our favourite places see you soon

Over priced ice cream that does not taste like authentic gelato nor stored like it.

it was great best ice cream i recommend if you like ice cream

Lovely ice cream very tasty, but very slow service waited 10 minutes for four balls of ice cream.

A quick visit and had some beautiful gelato. Would recommend… Although it was very busy, the queue moved quickly and the staff were friendly and patient…

Absolutely amazing flavours, was really surprised how nice this place is! The gelato has cake pieces in it too which really makes it stand out.

Hooray’s was the perfect birthday party venue for my daughter. Nicole was amazing from start to finish - from the communication of planning to the day of the event. We had private use of the upstairs so we were able to use one side for crafts and the other side for food/sundae making. Gelato was delicious and everyone had a great time, thank you!

Excellent ice cream café with a huge range of good quality ice creams. The scoop size is generous. Friendly service. This is a recommended spot to stop and rest for a short time. The seating and tables were clean and functional.

Some of the best tasting ice cream we have ever had! The 2 young ladies who served us were polite and attentive. Queues are long as you would expect during the Easter holiday, but certainly worth the wait!

Delectable waffles and gelato. Very family friendly.

Quiet a lot of flavors to choose. Friendly service. Great gelato !

Their were children running around I did not get the right ice cream because they ran out of the flavour and the table wasn't clean

Ok, ice cream was good and staff were nice. 4/5.

I had a waffle with two scoops of ice cream . The waffle was not fresh, the ice cream flavours poor, for this poor quality, I find it overpriced

Waffels soo goood 🥰 i will back soon

Service was 10 out of 10 but the good ends hee sadly. We were greeted by a vile smell while visited the cafe and after a gw moments we quickly realised it was a vile and off-putting smell of poo coming for the toilet. We went to wash our hands before eating and were unable to due to the smell. The toilet door was opened and right in the middle of the eating area which is absolutely disgusting. The waffles were nice but the icecream that came with it had that old freezer aftertaste which put us off even more and we couldn't touch it. The place looks very tatty and tired the only good thing is the location.

I don’t know what it is about this place but I feel awkward going there. Maybe it’s my inner guilt telling me I shouldn’t be eating ice cream

Lovely selection of ice cream and other treats - the only reason I haven't given 5 stars is the pricing as it is a bit on the expensive side with a family to cater for

Visited with grandchildren, v busy, huge choice of ice creams plus waffles and crepes, huge portions, v tasty, children loved it.

Great staff, great service, great coffee What more do you need.

Lovely treats here. Rather disappointed the crepes were cold. Much prefer them warm. Staff were lovely though.

Yummy ice cream parlour with generous servings of a good selection of flavours

This place is a very good choice for gelato and desserts! From milkshakes to waffles, and crepes this place has it all and a large variety! The staff are very friendly and welcoming, the establishment itself was clean, well kept, modern, and tidy! The kinder gelato and Ferrero gelato were very tasty, full of flavour and the portion sizes were very generous! I’ve had a lot of gelato and ice cream, this place is definitely where I’ve had one of the best gelatos! I can highly recommend!

Queue was long , but didn’t mind that . Took my mum today 14/10/23 around 4pm as she had not been well so thought we’d have a little walk and an ice cream . So we ordered 2 waffles with ice cream , sauce & whipped cream . Sat down & waited about 15-20 minutes before I went to investigate where are desserts were . I said excuse me to one of the girls and was totally ignored , so popped around to the little kitchen area where my order was clearly sat on the side . The girl said ‘oh yes I was just about to bring them out’ another girl literally bought them to the table , slammed them down without a single word , she was extremely rude . It goes without saying the waffles were cold . Today it appeared there was some training taking place so maybe this was the reason for the slow and unfriendly service . I shall not go in again , it was really disappointing . The staff need to be trained in customer service skills or the customers will choose somewhere else to spend their money. I did look around for someone in charge/manager to voice this with them , but no-one around , so had to put my experience on here instead .

Fantastic Ice cream but didn't have my favourite rum & raisin so settled on salted caramel

Fantastic ice cream. I haven't eaten this good for many years. What a taste! A great place for a gourmet. Very nice service.

My favourite ice cream shop. Staff are super friendly too. I suggest asking staff for their favourite flavours.

Visited with some friends whilst in Stratford. It was really easy to order on your mobile to the table. Waffle was lovely and warm and really yummy. Not badly priced either. Good atmosphere.

Gorgeous ice cream, so many flavours to choose from. I settled with a scoop of the cherry and a scoop of the lemon drizzle. Both were lovely. Had to queue to get in, but the ice cream didn't disappoint, so it was worth it.

Cracking gelato here. They’re super generous with the helpings which is definitely appreciated! Homely feel to the place as well - very welcoming.

Gorgeous ice cream, lots of choice. Very friendly staff. Would visit again.

Absolutely delicious ice creams or should I say Gelato!

Amazing gelato. Average price. Nice inside, little outside area kind of looks abandoned though. Usually a dog bowl with no water in, tables sticky. Kind of seems forgotten about by staff the few times I’ve been. Can’t fault anything else though

Good vegan gelato, quite a few flavors. Biscoff and chocolate were good, but not super strong. Great service.

Fantastic vegan gelato and many sorbet options as well. The vegan chocolate and caramel biscuit were so good! Love that they have vegan waffle cones as well.

We've been regular visitors to Hoorays for the last 10 years and it's about time I left a review in time to wish them a Happy 10th Birthday. Hoorays have been a part of our family celebrations, helped to lift our spirits after family tragedies, they're there when we want a "well done" reward and just when we fancy a sweet treat... just because! So, what keeps us going back? Firstly... it speaks for itself... their Gelato is INCREDIBLE! The range of flavours is insane, their speciality flavours (like Star Wars, Easter and Christmas) always create a buzz of excitement. Their portion sizes are favourable and we've never had a gelato there that we haven't enjoyed. Their sorbet is pretty stonking too... especially when they do the gin flavours - well worth the trip for that alone. Secondly, the atmosphere... the space is lovely and well thought out. There is a cute courtyard garden and a really comfortable upstairs where you can chill out and enjoy your tasty treat. The staff! Honestly... some of the best serving staff in Stratford. Always friendly, always smiling and always helpful. With huge queues and people desperate to get to the frozen goodies, they keep their smiles on and make sure each visitor gets a positive experience. We are now known by name by some of them and they know our favourite flavours! They've become like family. QR ordering. Why queue when you can take a comfy seat and set about ordering via their QR system. It's superbly easy to do and food arrives quickly without any need to queue. In short... we highly recommend Hoorays to anyone who is near Stratford. (In fact, even if you're not... make the trip!! It's worth it!) Especially if you're there around Valentine's Day when their chilli chocolate gelato is on the menu - you won't regret it!!

Fantastic choice and service with a smile. Prices was better than expected and ice cream is great.

Very yummy gelato with generous scoops. Gluten free cones available!

Extensive and Attractive menu with options for your pet dog as well. The only critique was that the latte was a bit bitter, and the brownie very heavy on flour. Otherwise a good experience.

Amazing ice cream. Should try this place if you’re around town. Best ice cream I’ve had😍

Overall good for gelato. I got the Snickers flavour and enjoyed it. Portion size was good. Mint flavour wasn't as good and cookie ice cream sandwich was a bit hard.

Excellent ice cream and lovely customer service

Strawberry indulgence waffle was expensive, took ages to make and wasn't very nice when it arrived. Presentation was awful and looked like it was slapped together and flavour was, at best, meh. Sorbet was okay

This is a favourite place of mine to visit in stratford-upon-avon. The ice cream is always very nice! It's more expensive this time than I remember it to be, approximately £10 for 2 ice creams. It did make a nice treat.

A nice cosy place, sat by the window. There were so many choices of ice cream, I got a 3 scoop cone and the scoops were so big and very generous. The ice cream tasted of very good quality and the flavours were spot on 😇😍

Big queue, not cheap but worth the wait and the price.

Good choice of ice cream flavours. Good portions. Good waffles. Busy shop. Likely to queue if visiting during the weekend with queues out the door on hot days. Not a lot of seats available inside to eat it.

Best ice cream I Stratford upon Avon.

Was really busy as it was a Saturday during half term but we managed to get a seat, so much selection it was hard to choose just one thing to eat, then when the two scoops arrived I assumed it was for a different table because the serving was so big. Great value. Most importantly the service was fast and the staff were all very friendly and helpful, I had to ask for Gluten Free when ordering via the app and someone came over to discuss the allergy information with me and made me feel confident that I didn't have to worry. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent ice cream friendly competant staff Great choice of delicious flavours

Great choice of flavours. Much nicer than the plain mr whippy ice creams available from the canal basin. Can get really busy though at weekends.

Visited Stratford Upon Avon with my cousins today and randomly tried this dessert place. I have been to many dessert places, and honestly, this was the best dessert I've EVER had. Nothing was overly sweet, and everything tasted super yummy. You can tell that they put a lot of love and care into their desserts and their service. So if you're looking for an amazing dessert, then this is the place to be.

Tasty, but cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired

Really good selection of ice cream and sweets. Nice local gem!

A great place to enjoy an ice cream, waffles, something sweet or just a drink. Staff seemed ok, just a bit away with the fairies, sorry but have to be honest a bit of a compromise but still a lovely little place, staff just need to engage more with the customers and be aware of their presence which would make it 5*.

The ice cream is always lovely. The staff are great, and the play area for the kids is the cherry on top. The only struggle is that they can be busy due to them being the best in the local area.

Chill and cool place to eat ice cream and other. 🍨 I recommande you to go try out their ice cream for a good snack. Is so cool, everething is perfect J'ai passer un moment très agréable avec mon copain Xoxo from France 💞

Good looking and even better tasting ice cream! Would totally recommend!!

Lovely ice cream just what you want on a sunny day. Very good choice of flavours and quick service

Drive from Birmingham to have ice cream. That explain everything

Very nice ice cream. We skipped the queue and sat down to order via the QR code which arrived very quick

Really good waffles. Could have had a bit more ice cream with it.

Omg the best vegan ice cream ever had. Would recommend. The kids also enjoyed their dairy icecream too

delicious crepe (I went for their classic option) and gelato (cream egg flavor). reasonable prices. would definitely recommend!

Popped in for quick coffee, as all other places were closing. Definitely a place for parents and children

We were out for a stroll around Stratford and decided to stop in for a naughty treat, we walked in and it was very busy but we found a table and ordered! Lots of choice and we had a giggle ordering and adding our extras. A little pricy but worth the experience, only down side I would say is the seating, they have a large round table in the centre of the shop that took all the room in the shop change the lay out to rectangular tables and long benches you could triple the amount of people that you could seat. Food really good great choice and even a little area for the children. Great stop!!

Fast service, amazing selection, and just great ice cream and deserts as a whole. Must visit if you come to Stratford. Highly recommend the waffles and cute little heated outdoor space.

Portions now very small at high prices. Ice cream now level flat with top of cup. Never seen such small portions before anywhere.

They've cut down the ice cream portion size massively. Now serve it flush with the top of the cup. Never seen that before anywhere. Not good enough when you're charging top prices.

Took grandkids in there. They loved it but said there was too much choice. I had coffee which was a nice blend. My daughter had Earl Grey tea. So catered for everyone. Will visit again if in Stratford.

Rude and inattentive staff, who way overcharge and take advantage of tourists. Don't go there. The staff seem very 😒

Their cherry ice cream is one of the best I've tasted in a long while.

Lovely service today and enjoyed our waffle. Will be back

Visited with family, small child in tow! Lovely, patient staff, pleasant and friendly. Was quite busy but did lack a bit of atmosphere. Lots of staff and quick to clear away/clean up etc. Wide selection of gelato, which was competitively priced though £2.30 for a small mug of tea is stretching it.

Omg tried it out on a wimm and impressed with their hot chocolate and bannana waffle.. see you soon girlies🩷

Love love love this place!!!! If you haven't experienced the joy that is Hoorays, you must! With over 36 unique flavours of gelato, with waffles, crepes and a small savoury menu too, this is a great place for any time of day. It caters well to all ages with a wide variety of treats. And don't think it's just for the hot weather - their menu includes great hot chocolates for those cold winter days. Perfect for a treat all year round!
