The village of Goudhurst is a two minute drive from Bedgebury Camping. It may be small, but Goudhurst can provide all the essential items for your camping trip.
'Sizzlers', on the hill in Goudhurst is a popular family run butchers' and general grocery store. A friendly welcome always awaits customers, who will be amazed by the range of products in stock. For campfire suppers, Sizzlers is perfect for home-made sausages, chops and cured meats. It also sells fresh fruit and vegetables, tinned foods, preserves, sauces, biscuits, snacks, dried herbs and spices, milk, bread, free range eggs, juices and dairy products. Not only that, Sizzlers sells a small range of matches, kindling, food wraps and pet food.
Across the road is Weeks Bakery, ideal for fresh bread, baguettes, cakes, pastries and afternoon teas.
Further down the hill is 'Burgess Stores' which stocks European and New World wines, spirits and an interesting range of real ales and locally produced bottled beers. A small post office is handy for sending pretty Kentish post cards to relatives and friends.
A bit further up the hill is the Pharmacy selling a range of over the counter remedies, toiletries, skin-care products, baby products and health-related accessories. The staff provide a very helpful and friendly service.
For newspapers, magazines, confectionery, cigarettes and lottery tickets the shop at the top of the hill is the place to go.
The Taywell Farm shop on the road out of Goudhurst is a food-lover's paradise. The shop sells fresh fruit and vegetables, deli-items, locally produced chutneys, jams and sauces, chocolates, delicious organic home-made ice creams and sorbets of all flavours as well as an exciting array of cheeses. It also stocks local beers and some sparkling wines from the Chapel Down Vineyard in Tenterden.
