Drinks at The Cricket Inn

Our light and airy bar is the perfect place for a pre-dinner drink where you can sample fine wines, quality gins and local ales and ciders.

Although modernised, we’ve stayed true to The Cricket Inn’s original identity with nautical influences and we give a nod to the history of the pub by showcasing black-and-white photographs and historical artefacts of traditional village life on the walls.

In the warmer months, we have plenty of outdoor seating where you can sit and watch the sun go down over the stunning panoramic views of Start Bay.
