Salcombe Dairy started with an idea on a beach, when Peter Howard, a local business man and ex merchant seaman decided that he really wanted to make a great quality ice cream.
Quite simply, it tastes great. We are gluten free, egg free and do not use artificial colours or flavours. Our sorbets are suitable for vegans, and we currently boast 50 awards including 23 different Great Taste awards.
We reckon that must be the customers – it’s such a great experience scooping ice cream for streams of happy people!
Managing the highs of summer, the lows of winter and hoping each year that we get it right.
On a waffle cone in Salcombe!!
It’s got to be Blackcurrant sorbet; it’s fantastic. Our Honeycomb isn’t bad either, and accounts for over one quarter of our sales.
That’s got to be the staff, although following our last Christmas party some would say the dressing up box…
It actually started in 1979, but it seems that somewhere in the midst of time someone stated it was Established in 1981 and that seems to have become ingrained in our brand.
