Wild Goose in Canterbury

Wonderful to sit at the bar and watch an excellent young chef who is clearly passionate about his work. I had a simple but delicious egg and bacon sandwich but my wife had a vegetarian breakfast and said it’s some of the best food she has ever tasted. Simple food cooked with flare in front of the customers. Its a small kitchen so not the quickest but there’s plenty to do while waiting.

My partner and I love this little eatery in the Goods Shed. We had dinner here on a Saturday evening. The counter seating was in full sun and so the staff kindly agreed to serve outside by the main entrance so we could enjoy Al fresco dining on a beautiful, warm summer’s evening. We had a selection of snacks and small plates which were all creative, beautifully presented, incredible flavours and reminiscent of quality tapas from a Spanish themed menu. The kitchen is tiny and yet the food here is of a very high standard. The staff were all super friendly and attentive and the chef took the time to ask if we had enjoyed our meal as we were paying the bill. This is one of the best restaurants in Canterbury to enjoy a drink and some good quality food in beautiful surroundings with down to earth, unpretentious service.

Had lunch here and visit fairly regularly. Brie on toast is always excellent. Also recommend the bible and squeak.

I love this place. They do amazing things with a tiny kitchen. Delicious, inventive small plates, perfectly balanced cocktails, a proper attention to flavours and textures. Lovely people who care about what they do. It's an atmospheric setting within the Goods Shed, nice relaxed counter seating with some tables to spill over. Consistently one of the best places for a casual/fancy drink & eat in Canterbury.

Cods cheek was great. Nice flavours many dishes to pick from will be back 👌

We are regulars because the coffee here is a special pleasure. For this visit we asked for bacon sandwiches, which I could not see on the menu, no problem and they were excellent.

Excellent lunch stop . Nice little bar . Staff really friendly and good excellent. COD cheeks were great and homemade soup really good

Always outstanding food and amazing service! I can wholeheartedly recommend the veggie breakfast.

A fantastic lunch made up of several tasty small dishes and great drinks. Watching the staff put together the dishes was entertaining and all of the team are really friendly. It never fails!!! One of our favourite places to go to. The quality of the ingredients and the creativity of the dishes is outstanding

Only had drinks and a pastry. Servers were friendly (morning and evening) and we got our drinks sort of timely. Indeed the apple juice is out of a carton but the coffee was actually excellent and so was the chai latte. Our cardamom bun was tasty but undercooked which was a shame. The place is lovely and had a good atmosphere

My partner and I love the Good Shed, however I just really wouldn’t recommend this particular part of the market. We had a really poor experience getting a coffee here. It took them so long just for two coffees, we were the only customers they had. There was just two of them working but for some reason the young girl was the only one doing anything and the older guy I assume was her boss just stood and watched and chatted to a guy sitting at the bar. My partner and I both ordered an orange juice as well as our coffee and that was the biggest kick in the teeth. Paying £3+ for one orange juice you expect it to be some kind of freshly squeezed juice or a bottle or something of that sorts - maybe that’s just me. Instead, it was a half pint cup of Sainsbury’s saver’s concentrated juice. I was genuinely embarrassed, watching them poor it in the cups right in front of me I was trying to decide whether I felt bold enough to tell them we don’t want that - I wasn’t. (context: there is a Sainsbury’s local two minutes down the road from this venue so if that’s what I wanted I could have gotten a good 4 cartons of juice for the money i paid for their small cups). Adding insult to injury they didn’t have enough juice left to fill two cups, so the young girl bless her heart was rushing about looking for something to fix the issue and the two of them bickered amongst themselves about the fact they had no orange juice left. Eventually the boss arrogantly “saved the day” by pulling an orange out of the fridge and proceeded to squeeze it into the cup.. so i guess i got the freshly squeezed juice i had in mind.. The result was a 2/3 cup of Sainsbury’s own and a 1/2 cup of Sainsbury’s own with a side of freshly squeezed. I don’t complain or make a fuss but after watching this all play out for what was a good 15-20 minutes or more I was anticipating some kind of refund or good will gesture but I was simply sheepishly handed the drinks by the young girl and sent on my way. I smiled and said my thank yous of course she’s just doing her job. Of course I could have complained but I decided to just laugh it off with my partner over our coffees as I was genuinely quite baffled by the experience. I’m sure there are many redeeming factors about this restaurant / cafe - I just wanted to take the time to share this as it is one of those experiences that just gnaws at me. I’m not one to leave a bad review and I had definitely thought to just leave it be but it just doesn’t feel fair to be so blatantly ripped off. If I knew in advance I wouldn’t have bothered trying this place - so hopefully I can recommend that if you’re thinking of going to the Good Shed for coffee just keep it simple and go to Gill’s.

Fabulous as ever, the staff are super friendly and it's always great to see the talented chef cook your food for you. The food quality is excellent and the clientele are also lovely! Definitely a go to treat before the train - as often as I can 😀

As a regular to The Good Shed we frequently grab a midweek and occasional weekend brunch. The eggs on sour dough and Bubble and squeak are firm faves. Staff friendly. Lovely produce.

5 staff but still had to wait for 20 minutes to get a drink as only one was able to do cold drinks. Lady did say she would be a minute so a little taken back that it turned into 20. Watched other staff, check their phones . Watched food being cooked and was amazed at how one kitchen tool could be used for so many things, picking up cleaning clothes and well as serving food along with mixing food. Glasses with ice can be provided if you ask for them. It was 2.30pm on a Sunday and they were clearing up to close at 4 pm, so must have been a busy afternoon, and they all wanted to get home. Not sure I will rush back to see if things have improved any time soon.

Finally got around to visiting the Goods Shed, and we decided to have a pit-stop at Wild Goose. Fantastic coffee and food. I can’t eat eggs and so it is nice to find a non-egg option and one that was beautiful - mushrooms on sourdough. Will be back.

Sorry, but after a very long wait, you can’t charge £8.00 for a very average BLT and serve a thimble of warm coffee 20 minutes before the BLT arrives. It’s just not on, The 1 star is for the venue which is lovely and the lady who did apologise for the wait, but we left disappointed and feeling a little bit ripped off to be honest. Style over substance.

The best dirty chai can be found at this amazing place! The barista was lovely and efficient. The short chef with the red hair made me banging creamy mushroom soup! Will definitely return to this place

Excellent ambiance - relaxed and welcoming. Absolutely loved the experience. Food interesting and prepared with passion - we watched the 2 chefs producing their creations whilst we relaxed at the bar and enjoyed the atmosphere . A great selection and fresh ingredients. All staff were friendly and welcoming. Absolutely don't miss it if you are in Canterbury.

Stopped off for a quick lunch and ended up staying quite a while as its such a great little bar restaurant. Really lovely staff and a young chef who is seriously talented.

Called in after visiting the cathedral. It was quite busy and finding somewhere to sit slightly awkward as we shuffled down the side to perch in bar seats. Food prepared in front of us. The squid and lentils advertised wild garlic but despite assurances it was there we failed to taste it. We also failed to see any during four days of cycling country lanes. I had goats cheese and sourdough. The sour dough was presumably toasted and was so dried out it was like croutons. A little softer would have been better. Despite the reservations it is a place we’d come back to for a quick bite.

The Wild Goose is tucked away in one corner of The Goods Shed and not the biggest of dining venues. But it is well worth a visit, at least for breakfast (and probably other meals too)! Service isn't rapid but my eggs benedict were the best that I'd had in a long time and, sitting at the bar with an excellent coffee, I got to watch it being careful prepared. If I lived in Canterbury, The Wild Goose would definitely be regular haunt.

Good food and good location however waitress let it down with breathtaking bad response when I asked how much longer my order would take - had waited over 20 minutes for my food and it looked like she had forgotten. Had I not paid in advance, I would have got up and walked out. Such a shame

Had a fantastic bacon sandwich freshly made and coffee. The bacon was delicious and the bread was fantastic, only slight downside was that the coffee wasn’t very hot. Really nice young couple serving.

We enjoyed a light lunch here on a Saturday. This is one of our favourite spots in Canterbury. The atmosphere is always great, the staff so welcoming and friendly and the bar snacks delicious. It was warm enough to sit outside and despite the bar being really busy the manager very kindly agreed to serve us outside. We enjoyed some gordial olives, chorizo croquetas with black pepper alioli, calamari with squid ink mayo and chilli and a carafe of chilled rose. All of the dishes were really tasty and beautifully presented.

A great place to have a light lunch. Food was lovely as was the rose wine. Dan entertained us giving us a great hosting experience. We will be back soon.

The Wild Goose cocktail bar and food counter in the Farmer’s market ‘The Goods Shed’ is amazing. I had a starter of sourdough with oil followed by sardines with herbs and tomatoes. It was all so fresh and tasty! I would definitely return again and again for the same lunch meal. The atmosphere is so friendly as everyone is seated around the bar, which may not be to everyone’s taste when going out for a meal but it works. Try to get there early as the seats fill up quickly at lunch time!! The prices are also very very reasonable (would even say cheap for such good quality). Definitely recommend a visit if you are in Canterbury, you will go away satisfied and pleased. It is such a pity they are not open for dinner as well! It is just down the road from the train station in the Farmer’s Market.

We liked the cheese on offer at The Goods Shed and decided to buy some on our way home. Then it was getting late for lunch so thought of the restaurant. No booking so no table. Try Wild Goose. Absolutely brilliant. Bar style with one two-person table. The offer was unusual and carefully selected. The honey roast shallots on sourdough toast with goats cheese and spring onions (I think) ticked all my boxes. Then there was smoked trout with roe and creamy something equally good. And the coffee was the best we have had in a long time. Really friendly staff added hugely to the delight, as did the proximity to the beautifully stocked fish counter: altogether a very invigorating ambience.

Estoy muy contento de haber decidido comer en el ganso salvaje cuando estuve en el cobertizo de mercancías, ¡es una joya escondida de Canterbury! ! El personal era encantador y la comida es realmente INCREÍBLE. Tuve la envoltura de cordero kofta y fue el mejor cordero kofta de todos los tiempos, el tipo de comida que no quieres que termine. Mi hermana comió la ensalada de falafel y sintió lo mismo. No probé los cócteles, pero tenían una buena selección, así que definitivamente volveré para probarlos. Nos sentamos en el pequeño patio junto a los manzanos y fue simplemente encantador. ¡Esta es una visita obligada!

Vale la pena una visita, el ambiente es maravilloso, hay estacionamiento gratuito disponible (pero no garantizado). Impresionó mi dificultad para complacer a los invitados. He visitado el WG muchas veces con mi familia, el desayuno, los pasteles y el chocolate caliente siempre son agradables. Abierto con distanciamiento social, no abre después de las 21 h.

Just had a quick snack when shopping, food was fine , coffee was excellent. It seems like a place where a lot of locals go for breakfast which is the sign of a "good place".

Entró en el cobertizo de Vacas para ver qué estaba pasando. Encontramos este gran lugar para comer. Toda la comida estilo tapas cocinada a pedido. Excelentes platos vegetarianos, así como un plato de salchichas muy picante que recomiendo. Realmente encantador personal y excelente relación calidad-precio. Ambiente relajado

We really enjoyed sitting at the bar and watching the chef prepare the dishes, which were all excellent. We ordered several dishes and shared, which is what I would recommend. Service was friendly and the wine was very reasonably priced and very good.

Llamado en el off - oportunidad para un bocadillo hace un par de semanas. Me alegro de haberlo hecho, la comida estaba bien preparada y bien presentada y fue respaldada por un servicio atento pero no intrusivo. Definitivamente volveremos cuando tengamos la oportunidad. Gracias

La comida en Wild Goose es siempre excelente y preparada o preparada frente a sus ojos. Lo mejor es pedir unos cuantos platos y compartirlos para que pueda obtener la gama completa de golosinas que se ofrecen. V popular pero el personal lo soporta bien y la lista de bebidas es completa, con excelentes vinos y cócteles. V amigable y la lista de los mejores lugares para comer en Canterbury.

Esta es una joya local muy popular. Siéntese en el bar u otras mesas compartidas en un impresionante edificio con un ambiente único. Puede tomar una copa, un cóctel, un café y pedir tanto o tan poco como desee del menú. Todo es delicioso, sirve tapas estilo para compartir o para comer solo. Hay una gran variedad de carnes, pescados y verduras, así como excelentes quesos y postres. Se llena porque es muy bueno, pero el servicio es siempre amable y divertido.

Fantastic fun and food at the counter of the Wild Goose down stairs at the Goods Shed. Brilliant cooking and sunny welcome from George and her helpers behind the counter.

Pedí un café y un bocado ligero para el almuerzo. Estaba realmente deseando, ya que la comida y el servicio normalmente es genial.Mi café llegó puntualmente. Pude ver que mi pedido había sido anotado y fue puesto en frente del chef. Ella procedió a conversar con sus colegas y se comió su almuerzo frente a los clientes. Pude ver que se había olvidado por completo de mi pedido.Para cuando su colega había notado que me habían olvidado, el chef había desaparecido afuera. Ofreció cocinar mi plato él mismo, pero después de media hora de espera, ya había tenido suficiente. El personal es muy joven e inexperto. No regresaremos

Very nice fresh food cooked in front of you, quality ingredients and great flavors. Nice atmosphere and friendly service

Situated in Canterbury's iconic Goods Shed, the Wild Goose is not the usual fry-up or white tablecloth elegence but high bar stools and one of the best breakfast menus I have seen. Perfectly poached eggs, avocados, crispy Bayonne Ham - all excellent. We were there on a Sunday morning and it was very busy but service was good

We stopped off for a soft drink and a coffee after a long walk and were made very welcome. We had a couple of bar snacks/tapas (ham croquetas and tempura vegetables), which were delicious and freshly prepared, but I was little disappointed with how much was in the portions for the price - possibly just because they were so good, and we were hungry!

The Wild Goose restaurant is wonderful addition to The Good Shed, and one of the best restaurants in the Canterbury area. The menu might be small, but it is mighty, with lovely seasonal dishes on offer. The quality reflects the best of Kent products and the cookery is simple and absolutely delicious. During busy times, service can be a little slower than usual, but it is always friendly and helpful and believe me, it is always worth the wait! If you live in Canterbury, or are just visiting, the place is a must!

Small bar serving really delicious and imaginative plates. Located in the Goods Shed at Canterbury West station. You can't book so best to get there early at peak times as it is small and very popular. Staff are lovely and there is a great atmosphere.

We had a lovely family breakfast this morning at the Wild Goose in the Goods Shed in Canterbury, the lady made us all a fab breakfast, it was really good! She made my daughter exactly what she wanted even though that wasn’t on the menu! Really excellent place! Food,ambience and Coffee was amazing thank you.

It was my second visit down to Canterbury as my brother is at university there.No doubt about it the ingredients used are homegrown. When ordering food, staff were so knowledgable about the five dishes we ordered between us three.Later wow the cheese board and drinks.Please go!!

Both my son and I love this place and the atmosphere. So good we came back for breakfast 3 times in a row.

We have eaten at the Goods Shed restaurant before but decided to try the Wild Goose as wanted a lighter meal before the theatre. We were not disappointed! Lovely people serving larger than normal tasty tapas with a great choice of drinks too.

I had another brilliant meal here today. Fresh original cocktails, tasty sharing plates and lovely service. The food is fresh, locally sourced and delicious. The specials have never disappointed either. Today was hake with fried samphire and the other we had was belly pork. Fabulous!!!

La cuajada de cabra en tostadas con miel y chalotes totalmente perplejo la primera vez que fui allí. Tenía el cangrejo crostini más recientemente - es completamente delicioso cada vez básicamente. Buenas porciones también, teniendo en cuenta que la auténtica comida gourmet. Terriblemente buenos cócteles. Y es un lugar encantador para pasar el rato para una comida. No podría recomendar más.

No había sido cancelado nuestro tren, nunca hubiéramos encontré el espacio maravilloso que es el cobertizo de mercancías - además, la comida fantástica, ya que se sirve en el ganso. Tanto el cangrejo crostini y tomate gnocchi eran super delicioso. El momento bistec era tierna y cocinado a la perfección y el tempura de verduras de temporada eran geniales. El personal era absolutamente encantador y para rematar disfrutamos de dos cócteles hermoso. Volveremos a probar el resto la próxima vez que esté en la ciudad. Si encuentras en esta parte del mundo, este lugar es realmente vale la pena una visita! !

Nos recomendaron aquí por nuestro personal - qué adorable lugar fantástico para comer y en un espléndido edificio. La comida es mejor descrita como inglés de Tapas' o similar. Comida muy caliente justo en frente de usted y super servicio. Creo que era de amapola o Polly que sirve y comprometido con nosotros. Gran variedad en el menú y puede tener sólo unos pocos platos seguido por más si aún estás con hambre. Así dejar de Canterbury antes al menos una visita a este lugar. Gracias chicos realmente disfrutamos de nuestra noche. Andy y Joanie :-)

Visitamos el buen cobertizo con amigos para almorzar, nos decidimos por ganso. Pedimos unos 12 platos entre 4 - que eran una delicia y recién preparado. Llegó a 80 libras para los 4 con una botella de vino - partimos de peluche hasta los topes! ! El único inconveniente era el servicio era un poco lento para empezar, tuvimos que pedir un paño para limpiar la mesa, pero por lo demás hermoso, la comida sabrosa!

Experimentamos El cobertizo de mercancías y disfrutamos de la comida y un gran servicio al cliente. Debes experimentar todo el edificio.

Este brunch bar ofrece una variedad de aperitivos y brunch para tentar al paladar. Busque las ofertas especiales en la pizarra. La mayoría de picaduras de alrededor de £7. Fue agradable ver su propia comida preparada en frente de usted, sin embargo, un poco preocupante en nuestro viaje a principios de mayo de 2017 mano era deficiente y vimos el personal revolotean de mariscos a ensalada de lácteos, etc., toque la nariz, pelo sin ninguna higiene de mano. . . A la izquierda un pequeño consejo en espera de negocios invertirán en agua y jabón. . . .

We found this small bar and eatery when we visited the Goods Shed to buy some meat and vegetables. The staff are relaxed, friendly and helpful; nothing seems to be too much trouble, just what we need! There's a limited menu with some extras chalked on the board all prepared by Felix in clear view of all; they're described as small plates but are perfectly big enough for lunch or a light dinner. The house wine is fine and affordably priced. We've enjoyed everything we've had so far, the lamb cutlets with salsa are a favourite for me but it's the simple things with a twist that makes this place special; we've been back 6 times since we found it. But, if you visit when it's cold try to get a stool near the window, there can be an icy blast from the door!

So finally after years in Canterbury we made it to the Wild Goose and it was lovely the cocktails were delicious with the bar staff advising on particular areas that may not be to everyone's taste. We had two small plates again delicious so you may be asking why only 4 stars?I guess it comes back to the title this place is lovely for a treat in my opinion. The price wasn't exactly consistent to the food with quite a high mark up across the board. Again I cannot fault the taste but the price was a little high compared to what was on the dish. Do let me finish with saying the staff were very polite and helpful and we will be back.

Great place for a coffee and cake or beer/ wine and nibbles. The staff and quality of food make this place. Love it!!!!

Set on the ground floor of the Goods Shed, you eat at the counter. Two visits in the space of 1 week, one for lunch and one for breakfast. Everything is cooked individually right in front of you and to absolute perfection. Lunch - pan fried fresh mackerel dusted with a slightly indian based coating on top of fried celeriac was just awesome. Breakfast classic, fluffy scrambled egg with a quality smoked salmon on a good fresh chunk of white loaf. The team are lively and very attentive and develop a friendly happy rapport with the guests. Absolutely 5 star coffee (I am very fussy) and with the lunch a meaty, tasty wheat beer from the tap. Pining to go again which we will do regularly - I am not even going to wait until I have shopping to do!

Very good food with various small tapas esq feel. Seemed to be an over reliance on cheese on the menu as it appeared in around 75% of the dishes ... orange polenta cake (no cheese) was the best.. grilled chicken thigh with cavelo nero and orange was probably the weakest dish but everything was cleaned all the same! only real quibble is the price of draught beer at nearly 5 gbp a pint its excessive ...

Of course the Wild Goose is great, just read the never ending exceptional reviews. To watch your own tasty dish tossed and teased by expert hands before your own eyes is part of the pleasure. Just as much fun is the potential for people watching. We were lucky on the day of our visit by a fellow diner straight out of ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Lewis Carroll's Mad Hatter approached the bar and sat three stools away from me. A stylish guy in a neat coat with his day return ticket from Charing Cross tucked in the band of his over sized big brown Derby. I suddenly felt under dressed. This dude was cool, and he knew it. But what a great place for lunch. My merguez sausages were fantastic. Living in Canterbury, we are so lucky there are places like the Wild Goose. Visit soon, dressed cool or not, just visit soon.

we visit every year, and this time (2016) we ate here twice. The tempura vegetables are a real favourite. You can order a couple of small plates, and then order more later should you wish. some are really substantial, The bubble and squeak with black pudding was gorgeous. And lovely cocktails too. you can sit on the high stools at this little bar and kitchen and watch them make this lovely food. Love it

A twist on the English breakfast with merguez sausages, chorizo & morcilla on the menu.I sat on a stool at the bar & watched my morcilla, bubble squeak & poached egg cooked in front of me.If my hunger hadn't been satisfied by my late breakfast/bruch I would've hung around to try some of the dishes from their lunch menu & soak up more of the rustic , bustling but easy going atmosphere of the Goods Shed.I'll save that for another time.

Not the place to go for a celebration meal or a special occasion but for a light lunch or brunch, the quality is exceptional. Service is friendly and efficient. Don't know what they do in the evening but would check it out. Great value and thoroughly enjoyable.

A little gem found in a permanent indoor market near Canterbury west train station. Very good coffee. Breakfast served until 11, scrambled eggs are delicious or a croissant maybe ...? For lunch and evenings, English style tapas are served, have several small dishes, I like the courgette flowers stuffed with goat curd and deep fried, the bubble & squeak with black pudding is also good. The cocktails are the best in town, different than the usual, with interesting flavours and very well balanced.

My favourite place to eat in Canterbury - menu changes regularly and every time I've been it's been fantastic! Can't wait to go again.

I love the Goods Shed anyway and me and a friend decided to have breakfast at The Wild Goose. Both the lady Chef and the server was simply amazing! Full of laughter and joy and even though meeting them for the first time I can't wait to see them again. I had scrambled egg on toast with chorizo, orange juice and a cup of tea. Was simply perfect. Amazing value!I'd recommend to anybody! Absolutely gorgeous food and I can't wait to go back!

Second visit here. Small corner of the Goods shed offering small plates.Great lunch time offeringsThe tempura veg is really good.

This place is unique. All the portions are Raciones, ie bigger than Tapas but you need at least 2. We had a great selection of delicious dishes. Merguez Sausages, Bubble & Squeak, Tempura Vegetables etc. All were well presented and so tasty!

Ok so they are obviously used to their well heeled customers who they do manage to acknowledge. Yes it's a nice set up and they are obviously good at the twee middle class farm utopia they are trying to create. But hey just because I haven't got hunters and a Tory party card doesn't mean you have to be so offhand and unfriendly. If you only want a certain clientele put a sign up saying so. Shame looked so lovely.

Waited An hour for a latte, poor service but decent latte. Would love to come back if I don't have to wait the same time it takes to get to London for a latte, I dont like it a latte

We have visited the Wild Goose bar located in the Good Shed on a few occasions and have never been disappointed.The location right next to Canterbury West station makes it a great starting point for an evening out, but you can easily end up whiling away the hours thanks to the relaxed atmospheric feel of the place. Low lighting, candles and the rustic decor make you feel right at home.The long bar at the front seats about 12-15 people but there are tables and stools also available if you don't manage to grab one. The cocktail menu is different and interesting, and the cocktails themselves don't disappoint. Mixed well and always delicious. They also serve a variety of beers and wine if cocktails aren't your thing. The food on offer is small sharing plates like Tapas. The Mackerel Pate and Merguez are particular favourites! All made with fresh local ingredients and absolutely delicious. The only downfall is slow service at busy times, and difficulty actually getting to the bar to place an order when all the seats are taken! But if one of the staff notices you they will usually go out of their way to come to you to take an order, and will pop back regularly. More than one toilet would also be a bonus but on the whole no complaints, a really delicious bite!

Have dined several times and the food and service have always been first class. Seasonal fresh produce freshly cooked. House wines very reasonable at £16 a bottle.

This is one of our favourite eateries in Canterbury and having visited three times I am now compelled to write a review. The bar/restaurant is tucked away in the corner of the Goods Shed. It's a great spot to watch the market in full flow. Rustic wooden tables and bar stools surround the bar. The service is very laid back and unobtrusive but equally charming. The menu offers a selection of regularly changing tapas style dishes all cooked with local, naturally sourced produce to order with specials on a blackboard behind the bar - the pork belly offered at the time of our visits was exquisite. Our favourites included the roasted shallots with goats curd, the smoked mackerel pate and the lamb merguez sausages with tsatziki. This place offers a seriously good cocktail menu - having sampled most the 'Golden Goose' and aptly named 'Strangers on a Train' are the stand out favourites. Go and try - you will not be disappointed!

the restaurant is often full at popular mealtimes .....sometimes quite long queses but it has a fun lively atmosphere with good service too

Found this as we drove past and pleased that we stopped. Strong coffee served in an interesting cup along with the best mushrooms for breakfast

Tucked away at the back of the Goods Shed we came across the rather rustic bar of The Goose.We clambered upon the bar stools and ordered some cocktails.It was chilly but behind us all were a selection of warm throws that we happily flung upon ourselves.The cocktails were delicious,well presented and good value for money. Interesting ingredients that infused well for a great taste !Staff are young and full of fun !

The place is charming and unusual! I recommended it for the product, fruit and vegetables witch you can buy there too. The restaurant is delicious

one of the best places in canterbury for a quick bite, all freshly cooked. imaginative menu. lovely staff.

The Goods Shed is a great venue selling fresh fish, meat, veg and selected groceries . There are 2-3 eateries and the Wild Goose is one of them. The menu is short but interesting and I enjoyed the Bubble and Squeak with black pudding for £7 . The chef is ex London who created this concept eatery. Very relaxed atmosphere on stools at raised tables or at the bar. Breakfasts seem very popular! I recommend it.

Called in for breakfast, service was lukewarm, so was the coffee. It is usually much more welcoming than this, perhaps it was an off day? The eggs were a bit flavourless, the mushrooms were great.

We were visiting Canterbury and decided to visit The Goods Shed to see what foodstuffs they were selling. Whilst there we found The Wild Goose, a small area given over to Coffee and cakes, and it also had a good Tapas menu. But we had already eaten so only had an extremely tasty coffee, exercising willpower not to succumb to the goodies on offer. The Wild Goose is a small area at one end of The Goods Shed, and has a bar type serving area with high bar stools, which would not be safe for young children. Along with Coffee they also serve cocktails, but as we were in the car and it was only mid-afternoon we decided to forego a taster!This is a small enterprise within a larger setting with several food vendors so people have a good choice of various types of snacks and meals, but the coffee was excellent and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Another 'drop in spot' for when we visit Canterbury again.

Inside the Goods Shed, just beyond the railway station, is the Wild Goose cafe. You wouldn't know from outside as there is no signage for it. The goods Shed itself is a well realised conversion of a railway shed into a farmers market/bar/restaurant.Our vegetarian options were, as usual, limited, which led to the only main course dish repeating the ingredients of one of the two starters. The food was very good with the exception of the sun-dried tomatoes. The service was just right and the cost was just OK. Well worth a visit

If you enjoy cooked-to-order, tapas-style ‘small plate’ food, home-made cakes and sprauncy cocktails (made with local ingredients were possible) served in the confines of a bustling and rustic indoor market, then Wild Goose will fit your bill very well. On the menu — which runs to about a dozen dishes — there’s an excellent bubble & squeak tapa complete with morcilla and a fried egg. Summer Antipasti are spot on, as are the tempura vegetables. The Merguez sausages and the ‘Borek Cigars’ I find moreish in the extreme. The WG can’t be faulted on price either: the average price is about £7 per dish. Last, but far from least, are the pleasant people who are likely to serve you — especially the calm, smiling and ever-so-serene Lucy and Georgie. (Should you need a goose, the nearby butcher can probably provide.)

The food was wonderful and kept on coming. Supremely atmospheric venue. Worked our way through their inventive drinks cocktail menu and settled on great a pint from Deal. Awaited our train with a great coffee.

We came here early on a weekday evening, and had a lovely hour or so, enjoying the 'Mother Goose' cocktail and a selection of delicious tapas. Lucy and Felix served us, and were both great - friendly, relaxed, professional. We loved the way the food is prepared right in front of you as you perch at the counter on stools, and it feels like sitting in someone's kitchen. Returned a few days later for brunch, which was also excellent. Highly recommended.

Have been here a few times. They have the best coffee I've ever tasted! Only been for breakfast menu but it never disappoints its consistantly good and always delivered in good time. You sit at the bar and watch the team prepare everything in front of you which is nice to see what effort is actually going into making your food and drinks. I did get scrambled eggs instead of the poached eggsI'd asked for but I ate it anyway and it was delicious and was given a free coffee for the mistake, which I was happy with. They also have loyalty cards for coffee. Cannot wait to try it in the evening to sample the other menus and cocktails.

Wir besuchten das Restaurant Rafael's in der Goods Shed und hatte raffinierte Drinks an der Bar im Wild Goose.Mit Namen wir "Hot Goose" und "Golden Goose" lockt die kleine Bar und überrascht mit Kreativität.

Situated on the floor of The Goods Shed farmers market is a wonderfully laid back, extremely efficient and knowledgable restaurent. We thoroughly enjoyed our delicious fresh cooked tapas and informal setting without the fuss of having to pre-book a table. A sit on stools type establishment, we could watch our food being prepared and cooked whilst chatting to the friendly staff that served us delicious Golden Goose coctails very quickly, whilst we were perusing the menu which came in the form of a pretty paper placemat. We opted for the lamb cutlest,borek cigars and tempurar vegetables, and a surprising violet sorbet and choc cake, which were all faultless. The menu changes with everything seasonal and fresh from the Goods Shed market. Perfectly cooked with delicious flavours we were not disappointed by any of the dishes and cannot wait to return which will be very soon as it is so affordable, the most expensive dish was just £9. The atmosphere was buzzing and we had a lovely evening, this is somewhere where you want to keep it to yourselves, so ssh don't tell too many people!

A day off, and a delicious breakfast at Wild Goose. Perfectly cooked scrambled eggs and mushrooms, the latter with just the right hint of saltiness. Great attention to detail. Excellent Americano too. Lovely staff, and I'll certainly be going again.

What a find in the market next to the West Canterbury station. Wonderfully cooked food using only the day's freshest ingredients from the market right there. And an unconventional wine list make it a true exploration in eating.

First time to the Goods Shed yesterday what a lovely place all lovely produce .Decided to have breakfast at Wild Goose Superb!!!! best poached eggs i have ever eaten and the relaxing atmosphere was wonderful .Will be back

Ive been here twice now and Ive not been disappointed. Sublime food and quirky service with laughter. What more could you ask for?

Been meaning to go here for ages and so pleased we did. Went early eve and stayed from 630 til 9. Firstly they serve cocktails that have amazing flavours utilising locally grown herbs. Food is wonderful and all cooked in front of you, again, local fare. We had monk fish and chorizo skewers, bubble and squeak (amazing), a savoury filo pastry delight, tempura veg that was light and delicious, to name a few dishes!! It's a lovely quirky atmosphere and an escape from the usual. A must go place.

I have eaten a couple of times here and like the concept of all the food coming from the food hall but that alone isn't enough to make us come back again. The prices seem reasonable until you see the small portions, and the food could do with being seasoned more. The chicken my wife had was quite dry and bland and we were soon hungry shortly after leaving. Eating organic local food doesn't mean eating bland food or eating less.Service is good.

Met with some friends for a quick bite to eat before the beer tasting at The Goods Shed (also highly recommend). The cocktail was top notch and the food was delicious. I was in pheasant heaven.

I've visited Wild Goose on a couple of occasions recently, the last being a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday morning for breakfast. Each time I have not been disappointed with what they've served. The mackerel and poached eggs is heavenly and the chorizo and scrambled eggs a brilliant combination of tastes and textures. The Wild Goose is a great spot for a quick breakfast in the wonderful Goods Shed which is a delight to be in.

had great cocktails here. Very unique. food is also really nice but small portions. expect to be full with three dishes per person.

Wild Goose is a wonderful little bar nestled in amongst the stalls of The Goods Shed farmers market. They serve small tapas style dishes and a good selection of drinks. I found this place while wondering around Canterbury and have been back many times since. The changing menu means there's always something new to try and the cocktails, which they've invented themselves, are some of the best I've ever had. Great atmosphere, and lovely to watch your food being prepared by the friendly staff.

We have now been twice for breakfast and once for dinner at the Wild Goose and haven't been disappointed by any of the dishes we have tried. I love that a lot of the dishes are a bit more unusual than a lot of places, and the atmosphere at the Good Shed is really relaxed and interesting - always good for a bit of people watching. The staff at Wild Goose have always been lovely and helpful and will chat through the dishes on the menu and answer any questions. The scrambled eggs with chorizo are my favorite for breakfast, a good sized helping and really tasty flavour. My friend had the mushrooms on toast and thought they were delicious. The breakfast menu is mainly based around egg dishes, so just bear that in mind if you are in the mood for more of a traditional fry up (my favorite for that in Canterbury is Cafe Boho).The selection of dishes in the evening is enough to be able to pick a few dishes to share between you - we picked 4 dishes for between 2 of us, but I think if I was feeling more hungry 5 between 2 would be nice and filling. Lots of the dishes took my interest and it was tricky to pick, and all that we choose were lovely. Our favorite was the Tempura Vegetables but my potted pheasant came a close second. I was impressed that they had the Kentish Anno Gin available, and had a very good G&T to wash dinner down. Can't wait to go back again and try some more as so much took my fancy on the menu!

Good spot near the train station in an old converted building that is now a farmers market.Firstly, cooked breakfast options are limited. For a fry up look elsewhere. Options are variations of eggs on toast +/- chorizo/mackerel, eggs benedict etc.A £2.50 supplement over scrambled eggs on toast got me 4 pieces of chorizo added.£2.20 'fresh orange juice' was a small tumbler of Tropicana from a carton.£2.70 for a flat white coffee served in a teacup. Quaint, yes, small, yes.Food was decent but the details let it down.

Just found this bar this morning what a little gem @ lovely ladies.Had eggs benedict -superb what a shame are not local.X
