Across ME14 to ME17, Maidstone covers a huge range of catchments — central neighbourhoods like Penenden Heath and Bearsted, river-side spots like Allington Lock and Whatman Park, southern villages like Loose, Linton and Boughton Monchelsea, and the eastern stretch out toward Leeds Castle and Hollingbourne. A reliable ice cream van is hard to find for all of that, which is why we built the request network.
Request A Whippy is not an ice cream company. We connect customers with nearby independent ice cream van vendors for live requests, weddings, parties, christenings, sports days, school fetes and corporate family days. You can request an ice cream van to your location in Sittingbourne, Medway, Maidstone and across Kent — Maidstone is one of the core ME-postcode catchments.
Every Maidstone vendor on the network is verified before they take a single request: street trading consent or equivalent, current food hygiene rating, public liability insurance. You're not chasing a number off a Facebook group — you're booking a proper, paperwork-checked local business through a transparent platform.
Maidstone wedding venues are a particular strength of the booking side: vendors quote for fixed-hour service at venues across Bearsted, Boughton Monchelsea, the Leeds Castle area, Hollingbourne and the villages along the A20 and A249. Deposits secure the date.
Maidstone areas we cover
ME14, ME15, ME16 and ME17 in full. That includes the town centre, Penenden Heath, Shepway, Allington, Tovil, Loose, East Borough, Bearsted, Weavering and Mote Park, plus the southern villages — Linton, Boughton Monchelsea, Coxheath, Marden — and the eastern arc toward Hollingbourne, Harrietsham and Lenham.
If you're in one of the smaller parishes outside the postcode core, drop your pin and the platform attempts a match whenever a vendor is online nearby.
Weddings, parties and school fetes
Weddings: book 4–8 weeks ahead for May–September dates. Vendors quote for fixed hours with unlimited soft-serve for your guest count. Personalised flags, sauces and flakes are optional extras the vendor lists in the quote.
Kids' parties and school summer fairs: 2–4 weeks ahead is normally enough. Maidstone primary and prep schools regularly use the Book A Van flow for end-of-year events, sports days and PTA-run fundraisers.
How it works in Maidstone

Casual requests run on free Request Credits issued on sign-up. Event bookings carry a deposit that goes directly to the vendor.
