Glynn's Butchers sits on the eastern side of the Cotswolds near South Marston, combining a traditional butcher's counter with a farm shop under one roof.
It's the sort of place worth knowing about if you're sourcing proper ingredients for cooking or putting together provisions for a countryside day out.
The butchery side stocks a solid range of meats from nearby farms, everything from everyday cuts to weekend specials like prime steaks and roasting joints, plus their sausages are particularly good. The farm shop complements this nicely with seasonal vegetables, free-range eggs, artisan cheeses, and usually a selection of homemade items—pies, quiches, chutneys—that you won't find in standard supermarkets.
This makes it genuinely useful whether you're in self-catering accommodation wanting to cook properly or assembling a picnic for exploring the surrounding countryside. Shopping here gives you a real feel for what the local food scene actually is, and you're supporting regional producers directly rather than going through the usual retail chains.
Location-wise, it works well as a stop if you're driving through the area or staying near Swindon, and it's handy if you're heading towards Highworth or Fairford. You'll leave with the sort of provisions that actually reflect what the region produces rather than generic chain-store fare.
