The Cricket Inn first opened its doors in 1867 and is located within the small fishing village of Beesands nestled within the idyllic South Hams countryside overlooking the sloping shingle beach of Start Bay on one of the most southerly points in the UK. The Cricket is a welcome gathering place for both tourist and locals alike all year round, the local fisherman working and retired come to the Inn for a relaxing pint and entertain visitors with stories of fishing, storms and how it used to be in the 'Good Old Days' you may need a translator to help you understand the South Devon accent but its good fun anyway. The Inn was recently refurbished but still retains its old charm with endless black and white photographs of village life from yesteryear.

The Cricket offers local Ales good wines and a fabulous menu with customers returning time after time to sample the fresh fish and locally reared meats. The inn has seating for approximately 70 people in the main bar / restaurant area with the Pavilion dinning area to the side which is ideal for larger family groups plus small private functions, we have dog friendly tables in the bar area so if booking a table then let us know you want to bring Rover, outside there is seating for over 100 where we serve a full menu whether permitting.

Don't take our word for it come and see for yourselves! The owners Nigel & Rachel are confident that you will enjoy your visit.
