• The Millbrook Inn
  Lovely gastropub by a stream. It serves excellent seafood and locally sourced delights. When on the menu their delicious bouillabaisse should be ordered at once! During high tide the pub can be reached by boat (with a 5-minute walk from the jetty). Otherwise it’s a car ride, but definitely worth the journey.

• The Cricket Inn
  Beautiful pub right on the waters edge in the village of Beesands. Lots of real ales and some good wines to choose from, with an abundance of fresh seafood available on the menu. Possibly the tastiest and best priced lobster in the South Hams caught from the bay directly in front of the pub!
