THE GOODS SHED CANTERBURY BUTCHERY TEAM
The Goods Shed, Canterbury
www.thegoodsshed.co.uk
An exclusively local, nose-to-tail butchers block, The
Goods Shed strictly sources whole carcasses from
local, high welfare farmers only.
As Susanna, founder of the Goods Shed explains:
“We have amazing meat from our local farms via
small, local abattoirs only. We have beef from Duncan
Anderson near Doddington with beautiful butter-
coloured fat, porky pork from the village of Coldred,
Laughton Poultry’s amazing Kentish ranger chickens
from just outside Canterbury, and Al Palmar’s
delicious spring lamb from Shottenden. We want to
keep nurturing the local economy, keeping our local
farmers and abattoirs firmly in business.”
Their team of skilled and knowledgeable butchers
are on a mission to connect their customers with the
meat they eat, encouraging them to eat better meat
and to understand and enjoy every part of the animal.
As Christian, head butcher, says: “We can be so
nimble without the middleman. Not only providing
really great quality, local product at excellent value,
but bringing meat to life in a way that supermarkets
or larger butchers can’t. Our sausages are free from
additives and we like to play with the ingredients as
66
the season changes - adding exciting fruits and herbs
- and our bacon is smoked right here on the premises.
Beyond the day-to-day we have incredible offal and
cuts that are simply unavailable elsewhere.”

Station Road West, Canterbury, CT2 8AN.
