Ice cream van hire in Maidstone
Battery-powered ice cream vans for Maidstone's parks, schools, shows and family celebrations across mid Kent.
Maidstone is Kent's county town, built along the River Medway, with a big shopping centre, a riverside walk and an old town of narrow streets around the church and the Archbishop's Palace. The council offices and many county services are here, and the town has grown steadily outwards with new neighbourhoods on its edges. Mote Park, one of the largest town parks in the south east, sits just east of the centre.
Maidstone has a full events calendar in summer, from fun days and fairs in the parks to the Kent County Show at the Detling showground just north of the town. Most of our enquiries, though, are for children's parties, school events, workplace days at the business parks and family celebrations. Our vans keep the freezers and soft serve machine running from batteries, so there are no fumes near the queue while we serve.

Wedding ice cream van hire in Maidstone
Maidstone sits in the middle of Kent's orchard and hop country, and weddings here often use barns, oast houses, country hotels and castles in the surrounding villages. Some venues are on farm tracks, so ground and access need checking. With no engine running while we serve, the van can park beside the marquee or barn door without fumes, and serve a dessert round of Knickerbocker Glories or waffle cones in the evening.

Maidstone: questions
- Can you serve at an event in Mote Park?
- Mote Park is managed by the local council, which handles events, vehicle access and trading. If you are organising a community event or fundraiser there, ask the council early. We can send our insurance, food hygiene and risk assessment documents. The park is large, so tell us exactly where you would like the van.
- Do you trade at agricultural shows near Maidstone?
- Shows and fairs are a good fit for a van, as long as the organiser has a trading space for us. Showgrounds usually allocate pitches and ask for documents in advance. Tell us the dates, expected crowds and hours, and we will help with a menu that serves a lot of people quickly. See our country shows page.
- Do you cover the villages around Maidstone?
- Yes. We cover the town and the villages around it, from Bearsted and Boughton Monchelsea to Aylesford, Larkfield and Coxheath. Many fetes take place on village greens or playing fields, which suit a van well when the ground is firm. Send us the postcode and date and we will check access and send a quote.
