Whitstable's Secret Smokery
Wander south from the harbour, through the back streets and alleyways of Whitstable's old fishing quarter and you might, if you're lucky, stumble upon a hidden smokehouse . . . .
Inspired by our country's rich culinary heritage, The Native Smokehouse produces a range of jolly fine cured fish, hand crafted and cold smoked in small batches using age-old techniques.
In addition to my curing and smoking business, the Native 'umbrella' includes a food blog dedicated to the promotion of English food and cookery.
Opening Hours ~ Wednesday to Saturday, 9.30am to 4.00pm
Situated in the alleyway behind 45 Sydenham Street, the smokehouse shop is OPEN weekly Wednesday to Saturday, 9.30am to 4.00pm, with exceptions for Whitstable Foodies Market on the second and last Saturday of each month.
PLEASE NOTE: The Native is taking a bit of a break! The smokehouse shop is currently CLOSED and will not reopen until Wednesday 30th September. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience and I hope you will continue to support the business when it reopens at the end of the month.
Farmers Markets
In addition to the smokehouse shop, I also attend a number of local farmers markets, selling my full range of vacuum packed products. Please note, the smokehouse shop does not open on market days.
