Start Bay Inn - South Hams

The quiet, tranquil beach of Slapton Sands is where the U.SArmy carried out secret preparations in advance of D-Day.

Loved this historic eatery with its beautiful location, only wished we'd visited in summer to sit outside by the sea.

As far as I'm aware, you have to drive to get hereBut it's worth it.

Had a lovely meal here last week. We came early so no problem to get a table at 6pm (although it did fill up while we were there). The pub is in a lovely location right on the beach with its own car park though the public car park is just across the road it that’s full. The pub has two distinct areas carpeted area next to the bar and a hard floor area which is designated as dog friendly and everyone had a dog except us. Staff were friendly and service overall was quick. There is a printed menu to look at and a blackboard with the days specials (changes essentially with the availability of the different fish they could serve). My Mom and I ordered the fish and chips and I had a portion of mushy peas. The fish was cooked to perfection and a nice crisp batter. The fish (so often cooked poorly in my opinion) were really good and obviously just cooked. My wife had the seafood platter which had a good selection of crab, prawns , clams etc and a nice salad accompaniment . I thought the price of the meals was about right for the quantity and quality of the food. We left feeling full and content

Called in on a grey dull Saturday lunchtime. We chose the fish and chips, I had the small portion, fish lovely but could only eat half of the chips. Hubby had the medium F&C and struggled, would love to see how big the large portion...
