| Horrible! We stayed 2 nights and our room not serviced on day 2. Long wait for food - evening (35 mins)and breakfast (1 hour!)though evening meal ok when it came. The wait not improved by by swearing and arguing from the kitchen. Agree that pricing merits better, more competent, service and perhaps tables could be laid not wait for cutlery and SACHETS of condiments. Awful continuous loud background music. Not much sign of the "loads of locals" either, just a few youngsters in the pool room. Waste of an excellent position and lovely building. credgley - 16 May 2008 09:34 |
| In my opinion the landlords are doing a good job of improving the "feel" of this charming pub, certainly the absence of the heavy clouds of cigarette smoke which used to permeate througout the bar area is welcome, and it is certainly cleaner and tidier since my last visit, with a friendly welcome and well kept Greene King ales which are a tad on the expensive side. The dining side of things needs improvement though, with a food tariff that one would normally associate with high quality establishments such as The Wild Mushroom, The Curlew and The George, the food offerings are overpriced, clumsy and inelegant, possibly due to lack of experience rather than incompetence. All in all it seems likely to me that given time and a few adjustments then this hostelry will flourish once again. theoldmajor - 22 Mar 2008 08:37 |
| Very large corner pub - well kept and welcoming. The only one directly located in the town. Something of a 50/50 pub as it also has the feel of a restaurant, and there's hotel accommodation attached. Food and accommodation are historic accompaniments of inns, though the feel of the place is sliding just that little toward mainly hotel/restaurant. Large open fire in a central pillar location. Pool table in the bar area at the far end. Bar snacks such as cheesy chips served alongside regular pub meals. Greene King pub - offers IPA, Speckled Hen, Abbott and a guest (Old Hooky on my visit - just starting to taste tired). Good view of the old church from the front bar, and interesting pictures of old British comedians add to the overall charm of a slightly above average pub. SilkTork - 20 Mar 2008 20:47 |
| I am a local and think Jeanette and her team are doing an excellent job. They have worked wonders - the New Inn is a pleasant place to be now - LOADS of locals use the pub again which is more than can be said for when Ruth and Steve held the licence. A friend of mine went to a Cricket Club Function there (50 people) a couple of weeks ago and said it was first class - they used to go there when previously managed but weren't happy with the service/food but they will definitely return again now Jeanette is the hostess. The Little Shop's loss is certainly The New Inn's gain! MaggieF - 7 Mar 2008 12:31 |
| Me and My Wife ate here recently and found it far from satisfactory. food was extremely overpriced, and not that great a quality either.Beer was good, usual Green King selection though. Service was OK but generally the whole organisation wasn't great. We have been coming here on occasions for years. When Terry and Jenny had it the food was cheap and hearty. Ruth and Steve improved the service a great deal and food was always at a reasonable standard. Maybe the new owner Jeanette should go back to running the local shop.Is this really what the Locals want...... jim06 - 4 Mar 2008 03:34 |
