Tim Sowula and his bride Elizabeth wanted to keep it as “Kentish” as possible on their wedding day. So how did they get on? How do you choose from the thousands of suppliers who are all keen to relieve you of your money and charge you a wedding premium on your big day? Can you
A decent lunch is a big deal to Kentishtowners. There was a huge spread of honourable namechecks in this, one of the most popular categories.

We will admit we’re obsessed with finding the perfect Americano. As regular readers know, in our glorious locale we (and several thousand of you) believe this is served at Arancini Brothers, with Bean About Town roaring in a very close second (well, they do share the same beans). However, we love trying a new place,
