Badsey Butchers

This is a working farm shop that's been integral to the community for years, and it reflects the region's strong farming heritage. The shop stocks locally sourced meats from nearby farms, kept fresh through short supply chains, alongside seasonal vegetables from the surrounding market gardens, free-range eggs, homemade preserves, and artisan breads. It's the kind of place where locals pop in regularly, and you'll get a real sense of how valued it is in the village. Whether you're self-catering in a holiday cottage or just keen to experience what the Vale produces at its best, you'll find quality ingredients here that tell the story of the region's food culture. The butchers operates as a genuine community hub, and the staff know their suppliers personally. Badsey sits just a short drive from Evesham, the main market town serving the Vale, so it's easy to visit whether you're based nearby or passing through on a broader Cotswolds trip. It's the kind of stop that gives you a proper flavour of how rural communities like this actually function.
