The Goods Shed

Farmers Market, Food Hall & Restaurant

I went to the market....

…and I brought fresh stocks from Badlesmere, some fine pork chops, local mackerel, bread pulled straight from the oven and vegetables collected from local farms for the week. I sat and had a fine sandwich from Jonnie Sandwich with a glass of wine from Clive and pondered Sunday lunch. The restaurant menu inspired local venison, celeriac, black pudding and cobnuts, problem solved. The Butcher give me some great cooking advice for the haunch of stour valley venison and I grabbed the black pudding from Murrays General Stores. Cheesemakers of Canterbury furnished me with their own Ashmore and other cheeses for a board, local juices and homemade pickles. At Wild goose folk were enjoying hedgerow inspired cocktails and little dishes, next time I thought..

Menus & Booking

Some thoughts on the restaurant...

“Ingredients are “sourced” from roughly 2ft away in the market: finest Kentish produce, British traditions and techniques, Spanish sensibilities. The result is balm to the soul, not to mention the kind of grub that sends you off with a giant grin on your well-fed chops.”

The Guardian

“Enter, and you are confronted by the kind of scene that makes you wonder if you’ve died and been whisked off to gastronomic heaven: the finest Kentish fruit and veg, glorious, doughy pillows of fresh bread – and the said dead animals, lots of them, all heaped under a rustic wood-beamed roof, flooded with light from grand Victorian windows. It’s enough to make a Londoner burst into tears and decamp to the country.”

& Food Hall

Explore the Market

The Goods Shed opened in 2002 as a daily farmers market with onsite restaurant using the local market produce. Its continuing success (your support) along with other home grown outlets has contributed to supermarkets stocking more British produce. The 'food hall’ reaches further afield to stock a fuller, more complete shop . This in turn has lead to a greater turnover of fresh local produce and more British Cottage industries exposed to the consumer.
