In a period of economic doom and gloom it`s great to hear
of a pub that is putting money, time and effort into making things better for
the customer. Gary and Elaine Jenkins, during the six years they have been at
the Royal Cheriton, in Cheriton Road, have steadily improved the look of the
pub and the services it provides. Recently they completed a major part of their
refurbishment with attractive carpeting and soft furnishings, which make the
atmosphere even more elegant, welcoming and relaxed.
As well as their own experience, Elaine and Gary benefit
from family links with the trade, so they have a lot of experience when it
comes to providing what the customer wants. Part of that service is good pub
food, home-cooked by Elaine. And if you sometimes find yourself looking for
somewhere to enjoy a good lunch in the area, make a point of dropping in at the
Royal Cheriton for fine food in friendly surroundings.
Elaine and Gary, being the proud parents of three
smashing kids who live on the premises, ensure that the pub boasts a friendly,
family atmosphere. Burt there is a sporting element, too, and the athletes
among the regulars are assured of demanding exercise with pool and darts to
help them build up a thirst.
The Royal is also a handy location for a celebration as
there is a very comfortable function room which can be hired, with or without
catering.
The popularity of the Royal Cheriton says a lot about the
way Gary and Elaine are running it. They deserve huge success for the thought
and work they have put into its refurbishment and for the way they always put
the customer first.

Police are appealing for help to track down up to 20
youths who attacked and injured three young soldiers. The soldiers had left the
Royal Cheriton pub in Cheriton to get a taxi into the town centre. But at a
taxi rank outside Unwins off-licence in Cheriton Road, Folkestone, the soldiers
had an argument with up to 20 youths, who attacked them, say police. The
soldiers were repeatedly kicked and punched, suffering cuts and bruises. One
soldier was taken to hospital and had an operation for a broken jaw.
Police say the offenders are believed to be in the area
of the attack regularly during the early evening and late at night. They are
asking for witnesses to come forward. Said a police spokesman: “This was a
particularly vicious attack, and we would appeal to anyone who saw anything to
come forward as soon as possible”.
The incident happened on Saturday March 2 at about 10.40
p.m. The soldiers are Royal Engineers from Chatham on exercises at Sir John
Moore Barracks.
