Salcombe Awards
We think that the Salcombe based businesses and individuals that are winning awards deserve some credit, so we’re showcasing some local heroes.
Award Winning Ice Cream by Salcombe Dairy
Salcombe Dairy Ice Cream have been winning awards every year since 2018, and they’ve even been included in the Top 50 Foods in Britain! If you taste just one flavour – go for honeycomb – then you’ll understand why!
This incredible Salcombe ice cream has earned some air miles too! Not only is it on the menu at the Dorchester Hotel in London, it flies as far as New Zealand and Singapore on both countries’ national airlines!
King Charles and Queen Camilla have even tried (and mostly likely enjoyed) the Salcombe Dairy Ice ream
Exporting giant: Favis of Salcombe
Starting out in the 1970s, family business WK Favis & Sons saw the market for its fresh-caught crab and lobster shrink in the recession, but then a new market opened up for it in China.
This has resulted in a time of rapid growth, and they now export to the Americas and Europe. They currently send between 8 – 30 tonnes of live crab to China every week! Wow!
Huge congrats for this great achievement in a business that takes such hard work and commitment no matter the weather.
Best Salcombe wine: Sanbridge Barton
Sanbridge Barton are producing some extraordinary wines! They have been churning out multi-award winning productions since their move from the original Sharpham Estate in 2020.
Only a 50minute drive away, we highly recommend a visit to the vineyard to sample delicious wines and cheeses, all produced on the beautiful land.
Best pub in Salcombe: The Victoria Inn
The Victoria Inn, right smack bang in the centre of Salcombe, has seen continuous improvements since 2008. The management has invested so much time and energy into the project and it has paid off, with various awards over the years.
