| Having read the reviews on food at the New Inn we thought we were at a different New Inn when we visited on 1st September. The bar itself was dull and dreary with old odd tables and mismatched chairs. The food was disappointing. We had a bar lunch of spaghetti with minced beef and pork ragout which was just completely tasteless. As the meals came within a few minutes of ordering , they were obviously microwaved, also overpriced. The staff although pleasant enough were scruffy - our waitress in what appeared to be paint or bleach spattered shorts. The barman/waiter looked unprofessional too. We will not be going to the New Inn again Henry2007 - 3 Sep 2011 16:15 |
| Very much a curate's egg. Firstly the good bits - the beer was fine and the food was OK. Now the bad, it doesn't seem to have anybody in charge and the bar staff just aren't that welcoming. Moreover it suffers from an atrocious lack of attention to detail e.g. broken furniture still in the bar which has clearly been there for ages and the fact that the windows haven't been cleaned since the old king was a lad. Could be a great pub but at the moment, just isn't. The Giant is er... a giant in comparison Campanologist - 18 Jul 2011 13:38 |
| 8 of us went to the New Inn last Tuesday after a lovely walk around the area. The beer was very well kept, but the food was in another league, they had the normal pub fare but the dish on the specials board that caught most peoples eye was the venison and chocolate pie, six of the eight went for and it was delicious, I had a taste! i had the warm chicken and bacon salad with saute potatoes and a perfectly poached egg and again it was top notch. Both dishes were under �10. The pub itself was fairly lively and bearing in mind this a Tuesday evening I think it would be necessary to book a table for a Friday or Saturday night. Friendly, welcoming landlord and caring staff, I have no hesitation in recommending this pub to anyone. Cadellin - 9 May 2010 09:25 |
| Traditional interior with a small bar and very friendly welcome with well kept Palmers IPA and Copper on handpump.The food is exceptionally good modern British with excellent pork belly,cod and salmon dishes on my visit and well worth the �12-�13 for a main .The menu changes monthly and there are also many daily specials around the �9 mark.A true gastro pub with seating around the bar and towards the rear .Well worth a visit under this new ownership.

| Wow, what a difference. The new people (since June 2009) seem to have breathed new life into this beautiful building. The decor hasn't altered much but great plans are afoot. However, the food, welcome and beer are vastly improved and the locals have returned en mass. The menu is carefully put together using local ingredients and the beer drinker is well served with some cracking pub dishes that include homemade pies, brilliant sausage and mash and fresh haddock and chips. In all, well worth a visit and the Palmers Ales are in great nick. brinklow5 - 2 Oct 2009 22:42 |
