Up with the best!!! 1st Class.
Amazing local produce with market on premises. Superb cheese board
It was my birthday. " where would you like to go?" Without hesitation I said the good shed!! All my favourite foods, can shop too ! And my friends all came to join me! I love it!! Yummy food, good prices, friendly folk that know what they are talking about!! Be back v soon xx
Good. Friendly, lots of local food, but too much foreign italian food
Fresh ingredients and ever changing menu to reflect the latest produce and catch / game make this restaurant very wholesome and hearty!! Simple cooking enhances the freshness and flavors of the dishes... On the whole a good place for a simple flavoursome and satisfying night out...
Sited adjacent to Canterbury West station, The Goods Shed occupies a Victorian railway coal storage shed. The majority of the main hall is occupied by food stalls and it is possible to buy snacks from these vendors. However, the mezzanine level on the side overlooking the London to Ramsgate railway contains a restaurant space that runs over lunchtime when the market is in full swing. It also has an evening sitting starts as the market goes quiet. The emphasis of the menu is on fresh seasonal ingredients sourced within the market and the menu changes twice daily. In keeping with the tone of the shed the platform restaurant uses farm style furniture giving each table setting a rustic feel.
In Canterbury, although the cathedral was quite impressive, it wasn’t really the main thing I came for. Jay Rayner had recommended eating at The Goods Shed, and that was enough to make me choose this place for lunch (I didn’t actually bother finding alter
A previous goods shed for Canterbury West station, which has been converted into a very interesting space: farmer's market, several small restaurants, wine shops,butcher, etc. We had a wonderful time there, great atmosphere and pretty well served in terms of public transport and parking. My new favourite spot in Canterbury.
We finally drove to Canterbury to check this interesting concept of a place; a restaurant built inside a farmer’s market that makes seasonal dishes with fresh produce from the market.
Lovely food, generous portions and great presentation!
We had a wonderful lunch/afternoon at the Goods Shed. Ate a four course meal at the restaurant. Super fresh and locally sourced ingredients, lovely combinations, attentive service, wonderful atmosphere! Well worth the money and not overpriced at all for what you get. We will be back!
Highly recommended! Combining ‘Farmers market’ and restaurant in one great building (repurposed railway shed) is a great idea! We had a fabulous lunch in the restaurant (perfectly cooked, good size portions, well presented and knowledgeable and attentive service) and then browsed the fresh food stalls on the way out (excellent fishmonger amongst others). Great atmosphere and setting.
The kind of market that should exist everywhere. Fresh produce in a large variety and diversity. I couldn't be more happier about this place.
Its location is 2 minutes walking distance from Canterbury West.
They even have an outdoor garden where you can enjoy your coffee.
A few blocks off the beaten oath of chain restaurants which have invaded the charming town of Canterbury is this jewel. Make your way here and enjoy it! We had a lamb ragu over polenta with a gorgeous side salad. It was ah-maze-ing.
I went to the Wild Goose today and the food was just so delicious.
The staff was really attentive and friendly.
The chef was very welcoming and it was nice to see her cooking.
I recommend this place. I loved it.
The Goods Shed ois a great concept. Farmers market and restaurant in one building. A very nice building too. The food was good fare. We had the snacks, starter, main course and desert/cheese. All were tasty and well made. The service was a bit slow at times but they were busy with only 2 waiters. The atmosphere at lunchtime was bright and busy, surrounded by artisan food from the market it is all 'good food' orientated. I would go again.
What a lovely find - drove down from London on the weekend for a getaway lunch - lively space, open and bright. Part of a space which hosts bespoke grocers, cheesemonger, fishmonger, butchery, wine and charcuterie. Quality of food was really good. The highlight for me was the skate wing which was my main. Cooked to perfection - the bones were like cartilage. Yum! Cocktails also fantastic and the panacotta was a perfect finish to a well rounded meal.
Former goods shed now packed full of good produce. As well as fresh food (including greengrocers, butcher, fishmonger) there are some cafes, a bar and a restaurant. I ate at Gill's cafe which was fantastic. I had the salad, and it was so good, I came back the next day for another one. They have a choice of interesting salads and you get a big bowl for £8. Highly recommended!
A little too cold in winter but worth it, the food and desserts were absolutely amazing, the staff couldn’t be more helpful and nice. Before you leave, buy some local food and drinks. Plenty of parking too 😊
Had the best meal for my husbands birthday! Beautiful produce, loved having a seasonal menu and cocktails to go with too. Everything was so delicious and the staff were really friendly. Will definitely be returning!
Very good meal in a lovely setting. Food was well prepared, presented and very tasty. Highly recommended. Tip - if you're visiting in the winter months wear an extra layer. The roof heaters are very effective but not on all the time.
Fantastic flavourful food in a causal and relaxed atmosphere. We had lunch in the garden, the food wash freshly cooked and so tasty. The service was friendly and unobtrusive. The garden is next to the railway but surprisingly quiet and we enjoyed the lunch then popped inside to stock up on some more food to cook at home.
Seating area located next to/inside the vibrant Goods Shed market. Service was fairly friendly and attentive, but very slow!
They reassured us that everything was alright and the kitchen was running fine but it still took a considerable amount of time to get our mains.
I had the carrots and cucumber with anchovy mayo to start - wouldn't recommend. As nice and fresh as it all was, nowhere on the menu did it say it would be raw and just assembled. The mayo was also quite weak, especially for an anchovy mayo.
For the main, I had the lamb - sorry I can't remember what came with it, but it was very tasty - would recommend.
Pricepoint is leaning towards overpriced, some items are better value than others.
Overall experience was quite good, except for the speed.
Great place to dine and support local produce.
Bustling farmer maker with some true delights to be found.
Wasn't to keen on the beefburgers from the butchers, tasted a bit floral for my liking.
Had a delicious 3 course lunch in the restaurant and found the food fresh with plenty of flavour, also well presented and fairly priced.
Had the lamb leg which was amazing and a delight asparagus side dish.
Good Selection of drinks but unfortunately they sold out of the bottle lagers! Still the jug of wine we chose was excellent.
However we did find our desserts a little over sugared.
Staff polite and professional.
Limited parking outside for 2 hours, there is free parking on Saturday at the end of the next turning for 4 hours. Its a 8 min walk from the Good Shed.
Amazing place, great concept, unexpectedly good for location (next to the station). Sourdough from Docker (served in restaurant as well, that's how we tried it first) is top class, haven't had that good bread in UK before.
Kitchen was just a little bit slower than expected, so don't go if you in rush for a train to restaurant, but all other shops and cafes in this place are fine for that :)
Good stuff!
Excellent expérience! Great courses, cool service, nice spot (10’ walk from the cathedral) the red wines list could be better but that is very little flaw 😀
