| Okay, Clovelly itself is a timewarp but this place seems to have stopped in the 1980s. Externally a stunning black and white building but upon entering you are met with a bar that really could be located in the back streets of any seaside resort between here and Blackpool. On continuing through the bar, there is a large area seemingly converted out of an old stockroom and distinctly lacking in either decor or atmosphere. Food was pretty standard and although the Country Life beers were perfectly well-kept, I found that I just didn't get on with them - but that is maybe a question of individual taste. On the plus side, service was perfectly friendly, but I couldn't help but feel massively disappointed with the pub itself. Campanologist - 27 Sep 2011 00:05 |
| Same as Dwayne here, except last visit was 40 years ago. Locals were very friendly and chatty and insisted I tried the scrumpy......3 pints later I was flat on my back. Will never forget it. tommo5 - 10 Aug 2011 16:16 |
| Nice pub, food good, beer good, just a shame you have to pay to get into Clovelly. BIG MISTAKE. young_uk - 4 Oct 2009 21:58 |
| first time back to Clovelly in 30 years and was just as I remembered, the New Inn is about halfway up/down the cobbled High St making it a perfect stop off for the steep climb back up to the car park, nice open front with a cool shady interior on a hot day and a perfectly chilled San Miguel pint was just the ticket....service was quick and the locals happy to chat to day trippers, will certainly go back!

| For such a spectacular village, I found this pub a bit of a disappointment. The ale selections was good, but the service was ordinary. The phys environment of pub was ordinary too, but you can't be ordinary in that kind of village setting. anonymous - 13 Dec 2006 11:49 |
