Catering an event in Cheriton
Cheriton is about 1 mile west of Folkestone, in Kent. For an event in Cheriton, we can serve in gardens, fields, venues, car parks and courtyards with access in and around Cheriton. Cheriton is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
The M20 run on or near Cheriton, so the drive in with the truck or trailer is a simple one. Around Cheriton, historic houses include Acrise Place (3.4 miles north) and Westenhanger Castle (4.8 miles west). Venues like these often limit where vehicles can go, so ask about access before you book one. With the Kent Downs National Landscape about 5 miles away at most, a rural setting is never far from Cheriton. Country lanes there can be narrow and verges soft, so tell us about the route in. Cheriton is within about 2 miles of the sea, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots usually need permission from the council or landowner.
This part of Kent takes in CT19, CT20 and CT50, so your event can be anywhere in it. From Oaks Road, Firs Lane and Star Lane or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. Cheriton sits on or near the M20, which makes travel to your event easy.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Our taco bar guide explains how.
