A Different Kind of Catering for Tonbridge Events
Think back to your fondest event memories. It is rarely the stiff seating or formal meals people talk about later. It is the moments when everyone steps outside, chats in small groups, and enjoys a surprise treat together. That is why mobile dessert catering works so well across Tonbridge.
As a historic Kent town with famous landmarks like Tonbridge Castle and beautiful green spaces along the River Medway, Tonbridge is built for outdoor life. From private lawn parties to big community gatherings, bringing an ice cream van onsite changes the whole mood. It turns a standard break into a fun, shared event.
We are Kev's Ices, a family business serving local hosts for over 40 years since 1985. We love bringing our clean, colourful vans directly to your venue, helping you create simple, happy memories without any stress.

When Should the Ice Cream Van Make an Appearance?
Timing is everything when you plan an event. An ice cream van does not just sit in one spot all day. Instead, it works best when brought out as a special highlight at just the right moment.
Here are a few ways host timing makes a difference:
-
Mid-Afternoon Pick-Me-Up: During long family reunions, outdoor birthday parties, or school sports days, guests love an energy boost right when tiredness sets in.
-
The Wedding Interlude: Right after the main ceremony or during photos, keep guests happy while you pose for pictures near the River Medway.
-
Workplace Surprise Break: Treat your team during a hot summer afternoon or reward them after finishing a big project.
-
Evening Party Transition: Offer a sweet option as day turns to night at receptions or community festivals.
From Arrival to the First Ice Cream
Booking mobile catering should be simple and clear. We keep our service smooth from start to finish so you can focus on enjoying your day.
Before your event day, we confirm key details like your exact location, guest count, and ideal serving time. On the day, our friendly driver arrives early to park safely and get everything ready. Once we open the hatch, your guests simply walk up, pick their favourite treat, and enjoy. When the serving time ends, we clean up our area and prepare to leave.
Tonbridge Events Where an Ice Cream Van Fits Naturally
Different events need different styles. Here is how our vans bring value to various Tonbridge occasions:
Family Celebrations: From milestone birthday parties to back garden wedding anniversaries, having an ice cream van parked outside brings instant excitement for children and adults alike.
-
Weddings and Receptions: Give your wedding a relaxed, joyful feel. It serves as a fantastic icebreaker for guests and makes for wonderful photos.
-
Schools and Sports: School fetes, sports days, and club tournaments run better with a cold treat. We handle crowds quickly and safely.
-
Businesses and Community Groups: Boost staff morale or thank local volunteers during charity fun days and summer workplace events.
Planning the Serving Area
To ensure a smooth service on the day, thinking about vehicle access beforehand helps a lot.
-
Private Driveways: Ensure the driveway is wide enough for a standard commercial van and free of parked cars.
-
Public & School Grounds: Check for flat ground with easy pedestrian access away from traffic.
-
Clear Access Routes: Keep gates unlocked and remove low tree branches along the entrance pathway.
-
Advance Communication: Let us know about tight corners or steep hills before we arrive.
