Ice Cream Van Hire
Rochester

Managing catering for any gathering across historic Rochester requires dependable timings, experienced operators, and fresh desserts that bring smiles to everyone. Whether you are running a major public festival near Rochester Castle gardens, planning an annual school sports day off Maidstone Road, or arranging an intimate family party in Borstal, serving high quality soft serve ice cream makes every occasion memorable. At Kev's Ices, we bring decades of hands-on expertise straight to your event site.

As a family business serving Kent and the Medway towns since 1985, we understand local access needs inside out. From navigating narrow historic streets near the High Street and Rochester Cathedral to setting up safely in high-capacity venues like The Esplanade or Jackson's Field, we manage every detail.

When you book Kev's Ices, you get smooth experience from start to finish. We work with event planners, school PTAs, and private hosts beforehand to establish exact schedules, entry routes, and menu choices. Our friendly, uniformed team arrives early, fully stocked, and ready to serve your guests smoothly.

Why Local Organisers Trust Kev's Ices

Organisers across Rochester and the wider Medway district choose us for our operational reliability, safety credentials, and focus on customer service:

Public Liability Cover: Comprehensive £10 million public liability insurance covering all public and private events.
Certified Hygiene: Operators certified with Level 2 Food Hygiene qualifications, maintaining strong hygiene standards.

Serving Larger Public Events

Our vans are capable of serving large numbers of customers efficiently at busy events, depending on the menu and serving requirements, with structured queue management in place during busier periods.

Public festivals and large community gatherings around Rochester demand fast, high-volume serving capabilities. A sudden rush of hungry festivalgoers can quickly overwhelm inexperienced caterers, creating frustratingly long lines and delayed service. Our experienced team and heavy-duty equipment are designed to help keep queues moving.

We implement clear, structured queue management setups using designated ordering and pickup zones. By utilising high-output soft serve machines capable of dispensing hundreds of cones per hour, we keep queues moving steadily so attendees spend less time waiting in line and more time enjoying your festival.

Occasions We Cater For
