Halfords Butchers in Tewkesbury

Halfords Butchers
45 High Street
Tewkesbury
Gloucestershire
GL20 5BH

Date of Purchase 29th April 2016

This is a treasure of the Tewkesbury High Street and as their website declares, it is a traditional butchers with meats of all sorts on display or being cut and jointed in the work area at the back of the shop.

Our humble purchases in this shop were two pies for £3.20 each. Normally pies look good in the window, good when they go in the oven and then when being cut open reveal a void between the top of the filling and the pastry topping. Not in this case as both pies were crammed tight with chunks of steak and sauce, traditional ale sauce in this case, that was fighting to break through the upper crust of the pie.

Based on the pies alone this shop, one of three butchers in Tewkesbury, has to be worth a drop in and purchase.

About alangrenville

I retired about four years ago. That was when I stepped out of full time work and stepped into full time living. "Living" includes time with our four horses, reading, travelling around the UK with my wife, gardening and writing. My writing has included a series of diaries written on behalf of Omar, the feline in the cover picture, and about places seen and people met while travelling. It is these pieces that are currently being consolidated into a book which is taking up much of my time but I don't mind that. In fact it is quite good fun writing, reading, correcting, getting friends to proof read, correcting again and then on another read through thinking "How on earth didn't I see that absolute blooper?" Which just goes to prove that there is no finish line in the race for perfection.
