The Open Arms has re-opened in April 2016 under the new name of The Bear & Blacksmith after a complete refurbishment including a brand new kitchen. The new name relates to a time when the last dancing bear was kept in the village, when it died its paws were on show in the local blacksmith's forge. The menu features fish and seafood from the shores surrounding the pub, as well as a selection of Devon meat sourced and butchered from their own farm plus local beef from Slapton A multi-award winning pub for its food. Otter Brewery's Ale, Amber or Bright also often appear. Takeaways available until 4pm.
