Built in Kent
Sittingbourne-launched, Kent-led, rolling out town by town.
Kent is a big county and ice cream van coverage has always been patchy — different vendors covering different villages, Facebook numbers that go unanswered, chimes that pass once a week if at all. Request A Whippy is the county-wide alternative: one platform, every verified vendor, live map tracking from request to kerb.
Our launch core is Sittingbourne, with Medway, Maidstone, Faversham and the Isle of Sheppey forming the densest coverage. Canterbury, Ashford and the Kent coast are live and growing, and the Weald, Tunbridge Wells, Dartford, Gravesend and the rural parishes get coverage as more independent vendors join.
Request A Whippy is not an ice cream company. We connect customers with nearby independent ice cream van vendors for live requests, family visits, parks, schools, workplaces and community events. You can request an ice cream van to your location in Sittingbourne, Medway, Maidstone and across Kent — and book ahead for weddings, fetes and any event where you need certainty.
Every vendor on the network is a verified Kent independent. Their street trading consent, food hygiene rating and public liability insurance are on file before they can accept a request. Every customer is verified by email and mobile. Vendors only travel for genuine, paid-up-front business.
