Our Shop
Our shop is based at 20-22 High Street, Wellington, Somerset. Wellington is a small market town on the Somerset side of the Somerset and Devon border. Full of high quality independent shops, Wellington has developed a well earned reputation as a great town for quality food and drink.
Our grass fed & pasture raised meat.
Since we opened Ruxstons in 2022 we have become known in Somerset and Devon as a shop of exceptional fine foods. We have become one the best places in Somerset to buy grass fed beef and pasture raised Chicken, and one of the only physical shops to stock it.
Our novel approach of traceability within the meat sector allows customers to view our display freezers and know the farms and farmers they are buying from. This brings a closer relationship between the food you eat, where it comes from, and therefore we offer detailed knowledge of why it may be right for you.
What makes this different
Our pasture raised pork is naturally a deeper red than the more commercial light pink colour many people are accustomed to, the flavour is richer better textured as a result of their outdoor, natural lives. The Chicken, also pasture raised, is noticeably far bigger and more yellow than the supermarket options leading to it becoming a firm favourite with our customers. At Ruxstons, we never sacrifice quality and whilst you may pay a little more than other shops, you can be sure we buy off small farmers every single time and it is always 100% grass fed beef and lamb, or pasture raised pork and chicken
Our wholefoods & organic produce
We also stock a large range of wholefoods making us one of the biggest and best wholefood shops in Somerset. From organic biscuits and chocolate, to organic flour, this selection will be assured that it has been raised to organic standards and without chemcial inputs, so if you are in somerset or Devon, and want to buy organic wholefoods then give us a visit.
The coffee shop
Our in-store coffee shop has become a popular choice for people wanting a high quality, arabica coffee in Wellington. We offer a great range of cakes and pastries throughout the week for those wanting a small bite after some shopping. We also offer hand stretched Pizza, made by Fraser, which is available on select days and evenings of the week. The pizza toppings are the same high quality as sold in the shop, meaning our spicy beef pizza is topped with the very same 100% grass fed beef .
Gluten Free
At Ruxstons we have spent many hours sourcing a fantastic range of Gluten free options. If you are coeliac or want to cut down on gluten for other health or dietary reasons, then we have dedicated shelving solely for gluten free food. It does not just contain a few gluten free pastas, although we do have some lovely ones, you can also get gluten free biscuits, cereal bars, even our very popular gluten free crackers. We also sell a fantastic gluten free bread from the local Glenmore bakery, which is said to be one of the best ever by many customers.
Local Producers
Stocking independent and small suppliers is important as it allows us, and in turn the consumer, to support the local economy, and promotes the high level of craftsmanship that goes into these products. From allowing bees to harvest pollen from wildflower meadows on exmoor which produce our raw, unpasteurised honey, to slow-cooking garlic for sensational chutneys. The produce we stock is from small, artisan companies that will always be able to produce higher quality than their large scale, mass producing counterparts.
