The Start Bay Inn is a thatched-roof, 14th-century inn offering a take-away service during Covid 19 restrictions..
The Inn dates back to the 14th century when it was known as The Fisherman's Arms and was used by the local fishermen who worked their fishing boats from the village beach in front of the pub. The Start Bay Inn has been run as a family business since 1977.
We strive to source local fresh seafood wherever possible and try to use as much as we can from Start Bay.
We use our boat, DH92, as often as we can for scallops, crab, lobster and fish, and launch directly from the beach in front of the pub. This year could have its challenges as a few stormy winters have left us with a lack of shingle
If we cannot use our boat we will buy from local fishermen from Beesands and Dartmouth. We will endeavour to moor the boat off shore if possible so we can carry on as usual, weather permitting. We will continue to prep the seafood our selves and buy live and fresh produce from our trusted suppliers.
You can book a picnic bench by calling on the day and telephone pre-orders are available for those shielding.
