Hoping someone here will be able to help me with a small problem I have got.

We frequently travel to France and do it in one journey however this time my in-laws are coming and I need somewhere near the tunnel where we can meet up. They have stated that they want to have a break in their journey so the early arrivals is out as you can only stay there 2 hours.

Does anyone know of any service stations that might suit this purpose.

Thanks in advance

There are services just before the Chunnel terminal, the junction before I think.

I would use Maidstone Services (Junction 8 M20) as a meeting point. It can get busy but not to the extent that there is no room.

Hi
We have used the Tesco Superstore for for meeting people near the tunnel.
Also far cheaper sandwiches and coffee etc.
It's right on the motorway junction - use this postcode for satnav - CT19 4QJ

Yes as previously stated Maidstone services and the Tesco Store are conveniently situated on the correct side of the M20.(that is heading for the Tunnel).Phil
