Where to Buy Local Food Near Bishops Castle

One of the pleasures of staying in South Shropshire is the quality of food you can find nearby.

From weekly markets to independent butchers, stocking up is part of the experience. Here's where to go before or during your stay.

Lydham Market

8 minutes from the huts · Check local listings for days

The closest market to the huts and a handy stop if you need to top up supplies without going far. Fresh fruit and veg and a fish van — the produce isn't locally grown but it's fresh and good value.

Montgomery Village Hall Market

20 minutes from the huts · Thursdays

Worth the drive. Montgomery is a beautiful little Welsh border town and the Thursday market in the village hall is a good one. Local fresh fruit and veg alongside Simon the fishmonger, who brings exceptionally fresh fish. One of those markets that makes you rethink your weekly shop.

Ludlow Food Centre

30 minutes from the huts

More of a destination than a quick stop. The Ludlow Food Centre is a beautifully put together food shop with local and high-end produce — the kind of place that feels like a smart deli and health food shop rolled into one. Great for stocking the hut with something special.

Bishops Castle Butcher

10 minutes from the huts · In town

A proper local butcher in Bishops Castle with local meat. Worth a visit if you're planning a barbecue on the fire pit or want good quality meat for cooking in the hut.
