Called them up and asked them to bring the van to my work for ice creams. They were more than happy to help and the ice cream is very very nice and so are the staff

Been a customer for over 20 years and I visit each fortnight with my daughter as we both love Carlo's. Tony is an extremely polite gent.

Lovely little place. Type of place you will drive past and go "oh, i remember there is a really nice ice cream place nearby" and then you'll go and get ice cream.

First time I've been back here since I moved to Kent in 2018. Lovely to see Carlos busy and as good as ever. Carlos is a Hampshire institution, Hampshire wouldn't be the same without it. I'm now a 50something and as a kid we would wait for Carlos ice-cream van to come round with what is the best ice-cream ever!!!! The ice-cream is still as good (I wish they had butterscotch on, truly the king of ice-cream). If you visit Hampshire and not go to Carlos then you have sorely missed out. Long may Carlos reign.

Hattie was an excellent waitress, we loved everything she did. It wasn’t too busy, but there was a great atmosphere. The bubblegum monster shake followed by a juicy bacon sandwich was a perfect start to a winters day.

Three of us went for lunch. Two of my friends had the special of the day beef casserole (which looked and smelt amazing) and the other had a bacon, brie and cranberry panini. I had the broccoli and Stilton soup which was absolutely delicious! The desserts were just as delicious. Highly recommend!

Very lovely family business. Wide variety of options and freshly made ice cream.
It would be improved if there were clearer menu options. We couldn't see the options until quite close to the front of the queue and it was then difficult to explain the choices.
A dairy free ice cream would make this place pretty much perfect!

Arrived just after 2pm on bank holiday Monday. Busy for ice cream. Cafe had no one waiting so ordered tea and a full roast dinner.
Great staff. Tea arrived in minutes. Food 15 minutes. Worth waiting for too.

So we visited Carlo's Ice as my other half used to go there years ago when he was younger. It was absolutely worth it, tucked away and clearly popular. The ice cream is brilliant, it was a little busy, but expected as the sun was shining and it was a Sunday afternoon. The garden area is lovely for if you have a dog with you and for the children they have guinea pigs and rabbits to look at. The baby guinea pigs and rabbits were the cutest thing! Will definitely pop in again when in the area.
