The small fishing village of Beesands, nestled in the South Hams countryside, is home to The Cricket Inn, first opened in 1867. This is where locals and visitors alike can gather in a spirit of conviviality for an enjoyable evening dining from a predominantly seafood menu.

Using local fresh fish, seafood and reared meats, The Cricket Inn offers guests traditional comfort fare as well as more gourmet dishes. This can include smoked mackerel pâté, pan seared scallops with Parma ham, whole plaice with beurre noisette, Devonshire sirloin and Barbary duck breast as well as beer battered cod with chips and fish pie topped with mashed potato and cheese. Pan fried John Dory fillets with saffron beurre blanc, local mussels cooked with chorizo, coriander and tomato and the seafood pancake, filled with a medley of fish and shellfish in a light white sauce, offer more food for thought. A variety of local ales and good wines bring on the mellow mood.
