THE GOODS SHED
Canterbury’ s cherished pioneers in farm-to-fork excellence, with a bustling farmers market, food hall and restaurant all situated under one renowned roof, The Goods Shed is a spectacular setting to indulge in a spot of farmer’ s finest this new year. Promising stalls piled high with vibrant local fruits and vegetables, a butchery and the only independent fishmonger in Canterbury, this spirited foodie destination showcases the very best of Kent’ s pantry- from artisanal cheeses, breads baked on-site and fresh pasta to speciality ingredients and excellent fine wines.
Overlooking the lively activity of the market below, The Goods Shed’ s unique dining experience is relaxed, seasonal and brimming with Kentish character. The compact menu changes often, built around the day’ s market delights, with ingredients sourced just steps away from the open kitchen and outdoor grill. Lunch is laid-back and inviting, while supper feels a touch more refined, served by candlelight as the market winds down for the evening.
Those opting for meat-free this January are well catered for, with delectable fish and veggie options- think Jerusalem artichokes with capers and dill dressing, or cured trout with pickled beetroot, crème fraiche and focaccia. Alongside fresh house cocktails, the Shed’ s homemade soft refreshments are also a highlight, such as Rhubarb & Soda and a thirst-quenching Pear & Tonic.
