Organising an outdoor event around Staplehurst means dealing with a lot of moving parts. You want reliable suppliers, happy guests, and simple food solutions that appeal to every age group. There is nothing quite like hearing that familiar chime echoing down the road to bring smiles to everyone present. Here at Kev's Ices, we bring over 40 years of local family catering experience directly to your chosen venue.
Founded back in 1985, our independent family business has spent decades serving communities across the Low Weald of Kent. Staplehurst holds a special place in our calendar, with its vibrant village spirit seen at Surrenden Playing Fields, local primary school gatherings, and busy community halls along High Street. We know how local events work in this region. Our clean, brightly presented vans slide effortlessly into your schedule, delivering delicious soft serve treats with authentic, warm hospitality.
Planning a gathering should be enjoyable, not stressful. That is why we take care of all vehicle logistics behind the scenes. We check village access routes, position our vans safely, and run our service at high capacity so lines move quickly. Whether you are arranging an intimate garden birthday along Station Road or a massive summer carnival on Jubilee Field, our mobile ice cream van hire is dependable, fully insured, and tailored to your exact needs.

Why Organisers in Staplehurst Prefer Kev's Ices
Our service is available for events across Staplehurst and neighbouring Wealden settlements, including Marden, Headcorn, Sutton Valence and Frittenden.
The Low Weald is filled with tight knit communities and beautiful rural venues. Our drivers know these country routes inside out. From busy village centres to quiet farm estates hidden down narrow country lanes, we provide punctual and professional ice cream van hire across the entire region.
Smooth Transport Across Country Routes
Navigating narrow rural lanes between Marden and Frittenden requires local driving experience. Our drivers plan their journeys carefully around farm traffic, railway crossings, and narrow access points. You can trust our team to arrive on time, ready to serve as soon as your event begins.

We adapt our mobile setup to fit a wide range of celebrations and community events throughout Staplehurst:

School Fetes and PTA Fundraising
School fairs are essential for raising funds for equipment and trips. When we cater at school fetes, we operate with maximum efficiency to handle rush periods when classes finish. We work on a generous profit-sharing basis, returning an agreed percentage of sales directly to the school PTA.
Weddings and Private Parties
