Great restaurant set in a shared space that feels cozy and eclectic at the same time. Food is amazing and service attentive given its intimate setting. Small selection of cider and beer, but good choices and a good wine list which also features local wines. Free parking available also makes this a great place to have a lovely dinner.

Amazing restaurant and beautiful local produce market! The food at the restaurant was really fancy and absolutely delicious! Every meal was a real experience! They use local and seasonal ingredients sourced directly from the market. We ordered a 3-course meal which was definitely pricey but perfect for a celebration or special occasion. The staff a very attentive and very well organised. Booking a table is best as it gets very busy. The market is also very charming with fresh local veg, fish, meat, juice, cheese and other wonderful finds. Highly recommend and can't wait to be back!

It’s a beautiful place that is definitely worth a visit. It’s also a very very nice project to use fresh goods that would otherwise go to waste and the people and the service are impeccable, but… It’s too expensive (we were set back 150€ for 4) and neither of the three dishes we ordered was really to our liking…

My husband and I had an enjoyable meal and we loved and cannot fault the attentive service, atmosphere and the rustic setting. Unfortunately, for us the food lacked zing and we can only put it down to the constricted choice for vegetables with our main dishes, the options of sides on the menu was either a green salad or pink fir potatoes in garlic butter. This seems strange and a wasted opportunity bearing in mind the restaurant is right next to a farmers market that sells all manner of locally produced vegetables. What better way to promote local vegetable produce but by having even one or two other green/root vegetable based side options with the main dishes?

Lovely place to dine or shop from local businesses - all in close proximity to the train station. We seemed to have visited on a particularly busy day, as they only had one table available for walk-ins (us). The kitchen seemed a bit overwhelmed as our food took forever to arrive, and we ended up dining there for 2.5 hours. Something to keep in mind if you're on a tight schedule. The food was great! We really enjoyed the confit pork belly, and we thought the mint butter paired really well with the pink fir potatoes. Didn't realise the 'roast chicken' was a salad when we ordered, but it was still pretty good.

This was a wonderful leisurely meal. We shared the child Lamb appetizer and then I had the roast pork and my wife had the haddock. The bread and butter were great too -- the butter was very yellow and treated how butter ought to taste! I was hoping to get dessert but we were both full, and out played were spotless! Great atmosphere with candelabra with lit candles on our table. It looked as though a couple of couples were there for date night! Not cheap, but not expensive either at £90 all in for two people. Much better than some meals that I've had that cost a lot more.

Food was fine but received very poor service from one of the blond female staff. Seemed rude when she served our table, for example, when I asked for three small plates, she just drop off a pile of plates on the table without a word, no introduction of any dishes; asked me if we are done with starters when we were only half way through and left when I didn’t even finish my sentence. She seems to be fine when serving other tables but shown discriminatory attitude towards our table.

We visited Canterbury in early June, and were recommended The Goods Shed for a unique lunch destination. We were shown to our seats by a member of staff, who ascertained that we hadn't pre-booked, which wasn't a problem as there were tables available, and whilst waiting for our server, I noticed a specials board, and stood up to get a closer look. I was then accosted by the manager, and rudely asked if we'd been shown to our seats, or seated ourselves. I replied that we'd been seated by his colleague, and that I was looking at the specials board, he then snapped that they were all on the menu. Fortunately, our server was much more polite than the manager. After our main meals, the same manager, came to the table and without a word, put down dessert menus, and left. I would not recommend this venue based on the service we received from this individual. The food was adequate. The historic and interesting venue was the best part of the visit.

Beautiful restaurant with lovely bits to browse whilst you wait for your food. We were unfortunately sat with some of our party facing the window and the sun was low and glaring in their eyes, not much you can do about this but would’ve been good to be sat at the empty table next to us that didn’t have this problem. Service was lovely. Had the chicken for two which was very tasty, although think could’ve done with some vegetables with it to freshen up the meal and make it feel less heavy.

Having eaten here once before, we elected to have lunch today. We were told there was not a table inside available, although many were enpty and with just an hour and a quarter to go before closure we were directed to the outside area. We did pop there and sat down but it was too chilly and also it looked like rain. So we left very disappointed at the uppityness of our treatment as there was obviously going to be a table available inside. Their loss on a sizeable bill, so off to the Fordwich Arms!

Nestled amidst the historic charm of Canterbury, The Goods Shed isn't just an indoor food market; it's a captivating experience for all senses. Housed within a converted Victorian railway shed, the very essence of the building whispers tales of a bygone era. But step inside, and you're greeted with a vibrant atmosphere that celebrates fresh, seasonal produce. The Goods Shed's charm begins even before you dig into the food. The soaring arched windows bathe the space in natural light, showcasing the exposed brickwork and industrial-chic decor. Fresh flowers grace the sanded-down wooden tables, adding a touch of whimsical romance. Whether you choose a cozy corner or a table overlooking the bustling market area, the ambiance is undeniably inviting. The Goods Shed's connection to fresh, local produce is evident from the start. The space within houses a restaurant and for those seeking a more casual experience, the adjoining market area offers a variety of food stalls and artisan producers, perfect for grabbing a bite or browsing for gourmet goodies. The Goods Shed is a must-visit for anyone seeking a local food experience that goes beyond just the food. It's a celebration of fresh produce, culinary innovation, and the charm of a bygone era. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor exploring Canterbury, The Goods Shed promises a memorable experience that will leave you feeling satisfied food wise in every way!

Came here as guests of friends who had eaten here before and loved it, we were very disappointed with the food, dry wooly fish, uncooked chicken which was a ridiculous price and underwhelming to say the least. Not enough chips for 2 to share. Lack of knowledge of wines , no apology for poor food which was sent back to be cooked and then new gravy sloshed over. Nothing taken off the bill for the poor quality food. Will not be returning, nor recommending . A total waste of £200+

We went to this restaurant on a day trip to Canterbury. I had no idea where to go in town, but I was recommended the Goods Shed by an internet guide (I think it was TimeOut, but not 100% sure). I’m usually really suspicious about these recommendations, but decided to book it anyway. The thing is I had one of the best meals I’ve ever had in England. My partner and I were simply mesmerised. We weren’t that hungry, so we decided to share two starters and one main dish. The starters were delicious (pork terrine and kedgeree - kedgeree was better in my opinion, but my partner thought it was the pork terrine) and had a distinctive taste. The spices were simple, but tasteful. It felt homely, but also sophisticated at the same time. The highlight was the main dish we shared, we got the lamb leg. It was juicy, tender and I felt it was just melting in my mouth. The side was great too, it had an onion punch that increased the flavour of the vegetables. Finally, we decided to get a dessert as well. The hot chocolate pudding was intense in flavour, it had a bold taste of proper chocolate. Although it wasn’t too sweet, it’s best if shared with someone else. Finally, the service was great, I have no complaints. But the experience was enhanced by the atmosphere. Many restaurants these days have this tendency to put costumers too close to each other in cramped and overcrowded restaurants. At Goods Shed, we got a big table for two and we could have enough privacy not to hear other costumers conversations. The candle-lit environment was also super cosy and romantic. The restaurant is located inside a small market with fresh produce and good quality groceries. If I had more time, I would have definitely browsed more. Great experience!

I took my son here to use the indoor food market rather than the restaurant type facilites. All the stall holders were friendly and helpful and the goods my son purchased all looked of good quality. Unfortunately probably due to the timing of our visit (3pm on a Sunday)there was not a huge variety of produce available and a lot of people were packing up so the atmosphere wasn’t amazing but I would be interested to compare this visit to one on a different day and time! I thought some of the prices were a bit high but that was comparing to supermarkets prices so probable an unfair comparison. Nice to have everything under one roof.

We love this place so much! We’re lucky to have live not too far from here so this is a real staple for a morning treat. We always pop to Gill’s for a coffee and grab a pastry from the bakery in the corner. Seriously their sausage rolls and CROISSANTS are next level. Personally we opt for the outdoor seats, partly so we can fuss over the dogs (this place is very dog friendly) and it can get very busy here especially on weekends so if you want a calmer sit down and chill then that’s for you. There’s always a real community and hustle feel to this place, full of friendly, passionate, hard working people.

The Goods Shed is two things: 1. the main overall building which houses multiple local businesses, such as wine, delicatessen, beer, veg, butcher, fishmonger, patisserie-bakery, grocer, general goods, cafe, restaurant. Review: these are all amazing, complimentary to each other, and each is distinctively good at what they do 2. The Goods Shed restaurant itself, which many years ago created it's reputation for local produce done in a fine dining style. It's been through a few chefs recently so I can't attest to the food there currently.

It's a shame the goods she'd restaurant no longer serves hot drinks between lunch and evening meal. It used to be a great place to meet up with friends visiting from London. Now there's nowhere comfortable to sit. The high stools at the Wild Goose aren't very comfortable, and the table by Murrays is too crowded. On a fine day in the summer, the outside seats are okay. But space where you can sit and have a proper chat and meeting is lacking.

Interesting concept of farm to plate and featuring a direct connection with local producers. These types of small boutique farmers markets are interesting and even make for a nice visit when you're waiting for your train in Canterbury West, but high price points make a lot of these fancy wrapped items somewhat less accesible.

What a find! We were staying in a Canterbury for the weekend and hadn’t been organised to book somewhere for dinner, but we phoned last minute and the Restaurant were able to squeeze us in. The food was delicious, we had the scallops and tartare to start, the fish and ragu for mains and the chocolate and sticky toffee puddings which were to die for. It is such a unique setting, and it was a lovely atmosphere with the candlelight and heaters, we would definitely go back!
