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 opening Ruxstons in 2022, we’ve built a reputation across Somerset and Devon as a destination for exceptional fine foods. We take pride in offering some of the best grass-fed beef and pasture-raised chicken available—one of the few physical shops where you can find it.
​
Quality comes first. We source our meat from trusted farms that uphold the highest standards of animal welfare and sustainability—no shortcuts, ever. Our commitment to traceability means you can see exactly where your food comes from, with our display freezers offering full transparency. Whether you’re after premium cuts for a special meal or exploring new flavours, every visit to Ruxstons is an opportunity to discover outstanding, responsibly sourced meat.
What makes this different
Our meat stands apart because of how it’s raised. Pasture-raised pork has a naturally deeper red colour, richer flavour, and better texture compared to mass-produced alternatives. Raised outdoors, these animals live as nature intended, resulting in superior taste and quality.
Our pasture-raised chicken is noticeably larger, naturally golden, and a world apart from supermarket options—one of the many reasons it’s become a customer favourite. Every piece of pork and chicken is pasture-raised—no exceptions. Every cut of beef and lamb is 100% grass-fed, we should know, our own sister is one of our suppliers at Horner Farm.
While our meat may cost a little more, every purchase supports small, independent farmers who prioritise responsible farming and you will be able to taste the difference. At Ruxstons, you’re not just buying better meat—you’re supporting ethical food production and enjoying flavours you won’t find elsewhere.
Our wholefoods & organic produce
We’re proud to stock one of the largest selections of wholefoods in Somerset, carefully curated to meet the highest standards. Wholefoods are raw foods that have no artificial ingredients added, unprocessed and in their natural state, this makes them essential for everyday use when you are looking to stay healthy, and cook healthily.
Examples of our brands include organic biscuits from Freee, organic chocolate from Vivani, organic white flour from Shipton Mill, our range is sourced with care to ensure it’s free from artificial additives and grown without chemical inputs.
​
If you're looking for premium organic wholefoods, Ruxstons is your destination. Over time we have become one of the biggest and best wholefood shops in Somerset and are journeying to increasing our options with each coming year, as we strive to keep the choice of pure foods relevant and alive. Every product reflects our commitment to quality and authenticity, offering you natural, ethically sourced choices. Stop by and discover something truly special.
The coffee shop
Our in-store coffee shop has become a favourite for those who appreciate high-quality Arabica coffee.
If you’re after a quick morning awakening, or a relaxing indulgence of our lattes, we serve consistently strong coffees year round.
​
To accompany your coffee, we offer a tempting selection of cakes and pastries, freshly prepared throughout the week—perfect for a little indulgence. We also offer in our sausage rolls and pies, made with the same meat you can buy in store, how’s that for traceability!
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.
