The Start Bay Inn

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. The Start Bay Inn has been run as a family business since 1977.

Paul Stubbs retired as the landlord in April 2006. His daughters Clair and Gail and his son-in-law Stuart are continuing the family business. All three have gained immense experience whilst working as partners with Paul and are determined to carry on the good work.

Luckily for us Paul is continuing to dive and is passing on his Scallop and Diving knowledge to Stu and Gail which will enable us to continue this family tradition of catching and dressing all our own scallops.

In addition, local fishermen work off the beach in front of the pub and out of Dartmouth to deliver a selection of fish which is then prepared on the premises. Look out for a small fishing boat in the bay; it may be catching your supper.

A local crabber, ‘Gray Lynn’, drops crabs to the back door to be cooked and dressed immediately. All our crab is hand picked by us.

‘Dartmouth Smokehouse’ supplies us with their award winning smoked fish which is delicious.

Fish Pies are hugely popular and are all made on the premises using our own home made sauce.

Locally reared steaks are delivered by ‘Durrant's’, a local butcher.

Pork & apple and beef burgers are collected from ‘Hannaford's’ the village butchers where they are made.

We sell ‘Devonia Spring Water’ which is bottled just a few miles away.

‘Heron Valley’ cider and juices are very popular and are also produced locally.

Most people are surprised and delighted by the taste of the local ‘Sharpham Wine’, which is produced on the banks of the river Dart.

Tantalising traditional desserts are provided by ‘Cottage Kitchens’, a small company in Kingsbridge.

‘Salcombe Dairy’ ice creams are a real favorite.

Last but not least why not try our local brew, ‘Otter Ale’?

We recycle all of our glass, cardboard, tins and recyclable plastics and source our produce locally or from environmentally sustainable stocks wherever possible.

We hope you enjoy the experience.

Gail and Stuart Jacob, Clair Martin and all at the Start Bay Inn.
