A WINCHCOMBE farmer has proved his meat is top notch by scooping five awards in a regional competition.
Martin Gilder, who has lived in the village all his life, rears rare livestock including Old Gloucester, Beef Shorthorn and Belted Galloway.
Four years ago the entrepreneur decided to launch his own catering butchers, called Martin's Meats, based in Toddington.
Mr Gilder took part in the prestigious Taste of the West Awards for the first time this year and won all of the five categories he entered.
He said: "I was fairly surprised to hear I'd won everything I'd entered but obviously I wasn't too shocked because I am confident in the product.
" After this year's success I will definitely be entering again next year."
