Hooray’s Facts…

…so did you know?

Hooray’s is one of the best gelaterias in the UK. We use a traditional white base (so no eggs) in our gelato ice cream.

We’re proudly independent and make all our gelato ice cream on site in our kitchen at the Stratford Upon Avon shop.

Hooray’s opened on Friday, 16th August 2013, at 3pm(ish) to (we’re very pleased to say!) an orderly queue at the door.

Our kitchen creates artisan (which means individually handmade) flavours of gelato ice cream and sorbets, Belgium waffles, sweet crepes, delicious Mac and Cheese, paninis, soup and toasties.

We plan events be it meetings, social or business. Parties, birthdays or just any celebrations. We will be as involved in organising your event as you wish! Upstairs at Hoorays is an ideal location to hold a gathering of any description.

Upstairs at Hooray’s we have a fully stocked bar and make wonderfully decadent cocktails.

Fantastic place and very friendly service and staff.

Lots of ice cream flavours, but we had the salted caramel and nut slice. (A bit like millionaires shortbread but MUCH nicer!) Beware though, we had to go back again the next day for more, it was that good. Very clean too and even has a play area for small children.

Story time and Breakfast

Four of us went on Tuesday morning, so that our 2 year old granddaughter could go to Story time. Ice Cream for breakfast, what a treat. Our Granddaughter loved story time, wished we lived closer to Stratford so that she could go more often. Waffles and Ice Cream were the order of the day, and we were all buzzing afterwards 🙂 Would definitely recommend for youngsters, and young at heart older folk.

Best ice cream in the UK with great service too

Came here on a weekend trip to Stratford. Tried the snickers ice cream and was not disappointed at all. Love the venue and the upstairs bit is really homely. Looking forward to coming back.

Good place where you can have an amazing coffee, while your children eating an amazing ice cream in the kids corner

A must visit

You must visit when passing – you will never be disappointed, and will never get bored for choice of flavours all served by charming and helpful staff.

Still my favourite place in town – proper quality.

I usually call when in Stratford as Hooray’s never disappoints. The staff were as friendly, polite and courteous as ever and they also showed immense patience with my inability to choose from the ridiculously large number of flavour options. I finished upon the salty caramel, rum and raisin and vanilla (and what a delight to have REAL vanilla ice cream) I visited around 8ish on a Friday evening and sat in the window watching the world go by. What was interesting to note was several groups of diners leaving the posh restaurants on Sheep Street and coming over to Hooray’s for their desserts – evidently the good folk of Stratford know exactly where to get the best quality gelato. I asked one of the staff if this happened often and apparently it does and they tend to go upstairs. Upstairs??? I never knew! It’s a different vibe up there: battered leather sofas, great chilled music and much more intimate… and even a small cocktail bar. Another reason for me to return!!!
