F. Drury& Sons.
A Wiltshire abattoir with an on-site butcher's shop — over ninety years of quiet craft, welfare and full-chain traceability.
A single yard.
Three trades under one roof.
Butcher's Shop
Our on-site shop, managed by Tockenham Meats, sells a range of matured beef, lamb, pork and poultry — sliced and cut to your request. From weekday staples to Sunday joints and BBQ boxes, there's something for every occasion.
The Abattoir
Ninety years of trading, decades of training, and an in-house Quality Assurance team monitoring CCTV and every product line. Welfare and handling are audited daily — you'll only ever see the best of it on the counter.
Wholesale
A modern refrigerated fleet delivers to restaurants, farm shops and independent butchers across the South West. We work best with kitchens who care where their meat comes from — and want the same names to arrive every week.
Four rules we don't bend.
Welfare, above all
CCTV across every production stage, monitored in-house by our Quality Assurance team. Not decoration — a working practice, audited and recorded.
Full traceability
Every animal is tracked from arrival to dispatch. If it's on our block, we know the farm, the field and the day it came in.
Trained hands
Around thirty-five people work here. Many of them have been with us over a decade — because good butchery is a craft, not a shift.
Kept close
The abattoir, the ageing rooms, the block and the shop counter all sit inside the same Wiltshire yard. Short journeys. Longer flavour.
A yard that has fed Wiltshire for four generations.
F. Drury & Sons has been trading for over ninety years. In that time we've seen BSE, Foot and Mouth, and every fluctuation of British farming — and quietly kept doing what we do. Modern refrigerated vehicles now leave the yard every morning, but the standards on the block have never really changed.
