Planning a drinks bar in Bicknor
Bicknor is about 4 miles south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent.

Bicknor is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 18 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Leeds Castle (3.7 miles south-west) and Stoneacre (5 miles south-west). Many listed venues control who serves drinks on their premises, so ask yours what it allows.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.

What happens on the day
Serving is quick: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. By late September, sunset in Bicknor comes at roughly 7:00pm, so a bar running later in the evening needs lamps or festoons. A late-May event keeps its daylight until about 8:50pm.
