Kent is one of our core operating areas and has been since the very beginning. We know the county well - its towns, its venues, its events calendar - and that local knowledge makes a real difference when it comes to delivering a smooth, stress-free service at your event.
16 areas of Kent covered
We have dedicated pages and local expertise for 16 areas across the county: Ashford, Canterbury, Dartford, Folkestone, Gravesend, Maidstone, Margate, Medway, Rochester, Sevenoaks, Sittingbourne, Swale, Tenterden, Thanet, Tonbridge, and Whitstable. If your event is in or near any of these areas, we can provide a genuinely local service.
The right van for any Kent occasion
Kent's events range from intimate garden weddings in the Weald to large community festivals on the coast. Our fleet is flexible enough to suit any setting - modern vans for larger events where capacity and speed matter, vintage vans for occasions where the van itself is part of the atmosphere.
Trusted by Kent families and businesses since 1960
Tonibell has been part of Kent's summers for over six decades. Many of the families who hire us today grew up hearing our chimes. That heritage is something no newer operator can replicate, and it is why we remain the first choice for ice cream van hire across the county.
Fixed pricing, professional staff
Our fixed-price menu means no surprises on the day. Our uniformed staff are experienced at managing queues at events of all sizes, from small birthday parties to large public festivals, ensuring your guests spend their time enjoying the occasion rather than waiting.
