Wild Goose - Canterbury

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.

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.
