About Us

Cotswold Fayre is the leading speciality fine food wholesaler supplying independent retailers with quality products sourced from the best producers from the UK and across the globe.
Now celebrating our 25th Anniversary in 2024, we started as a distribution hub for a few small producers in the Cotswolds. The values we had then, still hold true today. Here at Cotswold Fayre we are dedicated to providing independent retailers with a complete range of top quality ambient, chilled and frozen foods, drinks, pet, home and lifestyle products.  We now supply more than 2,000 food retailers across the UK with over 5,000 products.
The vast majority of our suppliers are drawn from Great Britain and Ireland, but we recognise that there are some products that just can’t be produced here. So, rather than limit our portfolio we also stock the finest products from around the world. An increasing number of our brands are exclusively available through Cotswold Fayre to the UK and Ireland.
Most of our suppliers are small producers that you won’t find in the major supermarkets. We differ from other wholesalers in that we work in close partnership with our suppliers, many of whom we count as friends, not just suppliers! This means that our customers are also ‘close’ to the people making the food and drink sold within their shops.
Cotswold Fayre’s impact and influence on its suppliers has started to change the face of the wider food and drink sector. The business was one of the first UK companies to be certified as a B Corp, in 2015. Since certifying, it has run an accelerator programme to help and encourage its suppliers to become more environmentally and socially responsible. And it’s working: as of April 2024, the wholesaler is proud to have over 100 suppliers who are now also certified as B Corps – more than the total UK B Corp community that existed in 2015.
Cotswold Fayre is now the leading carbon neutral wholesaler of speciality foods to independent food retailers in the UK. It supplies most of the best food stores in the UK and attracts many of the best new food brands, working in collaboration with them to improve sustainability throughout the supply chain. Customers include farm shops, delicatessens, garden centres, food halls, high street shops and a small percentage of mainstream retail. Cotswold Fayre’s impact over the past two decades has raised the bar, with consumers all over the UK buying and eating better-quality food now than when the company was founded in 1999.
In 2019, the business had the opportunity to develop its own retail and hospitality site. Flourish Glenavon Farm, situated between Bristol and Bath, finally opened in June 2021, and is a great example of vertical integration.  This was followed more recently by Flourish Farleigh Road to the south of Bath which opened in October 2024. Cotswold Fayre’s social and environmental values are more clearly expressed in our consumer-facing businesses that are both an exemplar of good practice and provides a showcase for many of the company’s brands.
