The Good Sheds - Canterbury, Kent
Description
It was an inspired idea: take over a striking, yet neglected, listed Victorian railway shed and turn it into the first full-time farmer’s market in the country. Team that with an in-house restaurant whose chef buys all his ingredients from the butchers, bakers and farmers selling in the market, make sure the food is neither frilly nor fancy, &, hey-presto, you have a sure-fire winner. The Goods Shed is a casual space of exposed brickwork and massive windows soaring up to exposed rafters. Breakfast is served from 8-10.30am. You pay a £2 cover charge, then each item (from a list that includes free-range eggs, sausage, bacon, bubble and squeak, toast) is 50p. For lunch and dinner, expect ingredient-led dishes such as cauliflower and rosemary soup, organic pot-roast chicken or lemon sole with wild garlic butter, with orange and almond torte with orange syrup and lavender ice cream for afters.Style of food on offer: Regional

Customer Reviews for The Good Sheds - Canterbury
Exceptional quality - review added on Mon 1st May 2006
It's the outstanding quality of the ingredients that makes the Goods Shed stand out. Everything is sourced locally, mostly from the farmers' market in the building. This means that there is no set menu, it changes each day depending on what's available and of best quality and you order from the blackboard behind the bar. The cooking is in every respect up to the quality of the produce. On a recent visit I had a rib-eye steak with garlic which was one of the best meals I've ever had. The drinks menu is equally good. Just the house wines are highly recommended, and you cannot miss the delicious home-made fruit juice mixtures that they offer. The relatively small size of the restaurant means that the service is always good, and the atmosphere is relaxed, unpretentious and friendly. For the quality of the food on offer, it's very good value for money.
