We are a family-owned motorway services area with a Farmshop & Kitchen on the M5. We make food from scratch, as you would make it at home.
(3528)

We celebrate craft produce from our local area and beyond. Fuel and services available 24 hours. Part of the Westmorland Family, which was founded at Tebay Services in Cumbria nearly 50 years ago, Gloucester Services was opened in 2015. We are a partnership with community development charity Gloucestershire Gateway Trust (GGT). We welcome millions of the motorway travellers who pass through our county each year to take a pause, enjoy a good meal and make a connection with the people and produce of Gloucestershire. In our Farmshop & Kitchen we prize real food made with skill and authenticity. We are lucky to be part of a rich community of talented makers, farmers and growers, and we work with more than 130 independent businesses within 30 miles of Gloucester Services to put local produce at the heart of our Farmshop. We cook food from scratch in our Kitchen and Quick Kitchen, just as you would cook it at home. Up to 3p in every £1 spent in our Farmshop & Kitchen is invested in local people and projects through our unique partnership with GGT: a total investment of £10 million over a period of 20 years. When you pass through Gloucester Services, you will know that you are somewhere, not anywhere. When you meet our people and discover the place we are so proud to be part of, we hope you will feel part of it, too.

Have you heard? There’s a new Westmorland Farmshop joining the family 💚

Tatton Services is coming to the M56 in Cheshire in spring 2028. Just like here, it’ll be full of food, drink and crafts from the people who live and work nearby. We’ve committed to working with at least 70 producers within 30 miles.

We’re looking for farmers, growers, bakers, brewers and makers, from a local dairy to potters and printmakers. If that’s you, come and meet our buyers at our informal Meet the Buyer event.

📍 Groobarb’s Wild Farm, High Legh, WA16 0AA
🗓 Thursday 19 November, drop in 10am–3pm (book your place below)

A bumper honey crop, new cattle, and a plentiful wool clip on our Cumbrian farm ❄️🐝

This winter, Hannah gives us a glimpse into life at Chapel Farm, where she lives with her husband, Sion, our Farm Manager, and their children James and Olivia.

From 800 jars of honey to new Aberdeen-Angus and Belted Galloway arrivals, it's been a busy season. Plus, 1.5 tonnes of wool is being transformed into cosy jumpers and socks for our farm shops this Christmas 🐑

Each month we're shining a spotlight on one of our community partners, supported through our partnership with Gloucestershire Gateway Trust. This month we'd like to introduce you to GL Communities Gloucester.

GL Communities is a grass-roots charity supporting stability, confidence and resilience across Gloucestershire, through free money advice, health and wellbeing support, help into learning and work, and community groups from a Men's Shed to a community gardening group. Since 2010, they've supported more than 35,000 people.

You might know us for our services, but we’re a farming business at our core. And farming has always been a team sport. You turn up for your neighbours because one day you'll need them to turn up for you. It's a spirit we see all over GL Communities.

And every time you shop with us, you're part of it too. Gloucester Services was built in partnership with Gloucestershire Gateway Trust who receive up to 3p in every £1 of our non-fuel sales which they reinvest in community partners like GL Communities.

The Season for Venison: wild, local and lean🪾

As the days shorten and the temperature drops, venison's rich, deep flavour feels entirely of this moment. If you haven't tried it before, or haven't tried it lately, now might just be the time.

Our butchery counter works with La Chasse, a family-run business who supply us with their Quarr Cross wild and parkland venison from the borders of Somerset and Wiltshire.

Ask our butchers which cut is right for you.

We're closing for one weekend at Gloucester Services.

From 11pm on Friday 16 October until 6am on Monday 19 October, Gloucester Services will be closed. National Highways is closing the M5 between Junctions 11A and 12 that weekend to take down two footbridges, so there will be no way in or out of the services. We'll share any updates via our social channels and website.

But… you can still visit us as normal right up to 11pm on Friday. We'll use the quiet weekend for a deep clean and some team training, and we'll be ready for you from 6am on Monday.

Travelling over the weekend? National Highways has the latest on routes and timings on their website.
