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

Situated in the alleyway behind 45 Sydenham Street, the smokehouse shop is OPEN every week, Tuesday to Saturday, 11.00am to 4.30pm, except on the 2nd and 4th/last Saturdays of each month, when you can find the smokehouse stall nearby at Whitstable Foodies Market instead (see table below under Farmers Markets).

PLEASE NOTE: The smokehouse shop will be CLOSED from Tuesday 17th September to Wednesday 2nd October inclusive. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience.

Farmers Markets

In addition to the smokehouse shop, I also attend a number of local farmers/artisan markets, selling my full range of vacuum packed products. When the smokehouse is closed on the 2nd and 4th/last Saturdays of each month, you can find me nearby at the Whitstable Umbrella Centre attending Whitstable Foodies Market.
