The Start Bay Inn
About
The Start Bay Inn is a charming family‑run pub that traces its heritage back to the 14th century when it was known as The Fisherman’s Arms. Nestled on the seafront at Torcross, it offers a relaxed setting where visitors can enjoy classic British fare alongside fresh, locally sourced seafood. With an inviting patio overlooking the bay and a cosy interior that hosts live music on weekends, the Inn has become a favourite spot for both locals and tourists. The menu is dominated by the famed fish & chips and other seafood specialties such as scallops, crab and a rotating selection of fresh catches from the surrounding waters. To complement the hearty dishes, the establishment also serves a range of family‑friendly items including burgers, pies, and seasonal salads, all prepared with sustainability in mind. Beyond the food, the pub prides itself on its commitment to the environment. From using biodegradable takeaway containers to sourcing ingredients from nearby farms and fisheries, the Start Bay Inn strives to minimise its ecological footprint while maximizing flavour. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick pint, a relaxed lunch, or a full evening out, the warm, welcoming atmosphere and local character make the Start Bay Inn a must‑visit destination along Devon’s beautiful coastline.
