My first guest for this series is a goodun. It is Tom Calver of Westcombe Dairy - and is probably the most entrepreneurial person I know. Every time I see him he’s thinking up or in the middle of executing some amazing idea. Westcombe cheese are regularly name checked on the menu’s of great restaurants which is testament to the flavour and quality of the cheese they produce. Tom has taken a family business which is steeped in heritage and made a brand that is about community. He is humble, passionate and also generous - when I arrived to record the podcast and his colleague Corina had surprised me with an amazing spread of their cheese and meat which you’ll hear me savouring in a minute with lots of mmm’s and ahhh’s. Westcombe Dairy is not only a regarded name for cheese, and now charcuterie, but it is also known for being a destination. In a small village near Bruton, Westcombe is now the home to Brickell’s ice cream, Landrace mill and now Woodshedding tap room so you can visit and have a fresh beer.
