Meet the presenter

Angus Lugsdin

Drinks Expert

Angus Lugsdin is the Co-Founder and Director of Salcombe Distilling Co. The idea for the distillery first took shape while Angus was living in New York, where he witnessed the rapid growth of the US craft distilling movement. Spotting the same opportunity
emerging in the UK and inspired by Salcombe’s heritage as a destination for those who appreciate life’s finer things, Angus envisioned the town as the perfect home for a luxury spirits brand.
Reuniting with old friend Howard Davies, whom he met as a teenager teaching sailing in Salcombe, they co-founded Salcombe Distilling Co. in 2014 and launched the now iconic ‘Start Point’ gin in 2016. Collaborating with world renowned chefs and iconic winemakers. Angus regularly judges at the World Drinks Awards and IWSC awards, indulging his passion for whisky in addition to gin.
This year, Salcombe Distilling Co. is proud to support Dartmouth Food Festival as sponsor of the chefs’ demo tent.
