New Inn in East Devon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Good food for a great price. Veggie biryani for dinner was amazing, and the breaded brie we had as appetizer the next day too.

Visited for Sunday lunch on the 31/12....not a huge menu, but that's expected on a Sunday. 2 in our party ordered the Lasagne, salad and fries, the other 2, roast beef. When she took our order, the lady (possibly the landlady) asked if I'd like a smaller meal, as the roast is, apparently, a big portion.... I said okay then, as I fancied a dessert. Meals arrived...portions were generous....I had roughly half of the standard roast, and we shared the veg...cauli cheese, broccoli, carrots,swede,peas and red cabbage, all hot and very tasty. (And I had room for a chocolate brownie and ice cream after!!) On checking the bill later, I queried that we'd been charged £11.50 for each roast, even though one was small. I was told that the bill was correct and it was better value to have the normal size one. I didn't pursue it or make a fuss, as £11.50 is great value, even for a small roast. But I do think that diners should be made aware when ordering, as a smaller meal usually commands a smaller price. I shall return, but next time, will take my chances with the standard roast.

Not the greatest. Food mediocre, and it seemed to have a "you're not welcome unless you're local" vibe. Whole place had an underlying smell of wet dog, even in the restaurant area. (I love dogs by the way), but not when I've paid to eat. All looks a little grubby and unhygienic. Such a shame as I've been here several years ago and it was so much better.

Our second visit, food was 10/10 again. Service was lovely and atmosphere nice and chill. Delicious g+t too! We will definitely recommend and return. Thanks very much.

Great pub, friendly service & tasty food. Large beer garden & dog friendly! Came with my husband for evening meal, we sat inside and had a great view. We will return!

Delicious lunch at the New Inn. The menu has plenty of gluten free options with veggy and vegan options available which is very refreshing for a pub. We both had GF chicken wings which were the best we’ve ever eaten. Then we each had burgers which were made to order and piping hot - gluten free patty, chips and onion rings!! Couldn’t fault the food. My bun roll was also gluten free and even better, dairy & egg free to. The service was attentive and the young guy and girl serving were very friendly and knowledgable. This will now be our new local - thank you!

Had a delicious meal here with my hubby. Very friendly welcoming atmosphere with delicious home cooked food. Reasonable prices and would definitely recommend. Such a pretty pub with staff who were polite and helpful 🙂

I cannot remember the last time I visited such a great country pub, with excellent food and such welcoming staff. I really thought those days had gone….. We all chose something different from the menu and all of our dishes were excellent. So good, we booked again just before leaving.

Everything you'd want from a country pub :) Unlike the red lion nearby this is a friendly welcoming establishment

We have been to this Pub a few times. The food is good and the staff are friendly. We went this lunchtime. And we all enjoyed our meals. Just two issues..there are huge Pot holes in the car park the biggest one at the entrance. Really needs attention. Also we all three noticed that each of our china plates had chips on them ? Surely would not cost the earth to replace them.?

First visit to the New Inn. Very enjoyable with great tasting food and friendly service. Looking forward to returning!

Pop in for a lunch and wow what can I say beautiful country pub, huge car park and beautiful outside area lits of space and all ages welcome. Then we get to the food plenty to choose from and amazing quality and home cooked food, what more could you ask for, seriously if you haven't been you need to go, we will definitely be going back very soon. This photo was the starter, it's the only one I took as we enjoyed the rest of the time enjoying our day.

Greater by broken hanging pub sign and entrance porch uninviting, some sort of animal pellets, dirty shoes and strong pungent smell in there. Ordered a New Inn burger which was good, but no taste to the onion rings and the pub had weird Disney characters scattered around the place, along with tacky IKEA inspirational quote pictures. A lovely pub which needs the traditional look brought back to it. I last visited 4 or so years ago, and it was much better. Unfortunately this establishment seems to have lost its way.

Family Saturday lunch with Gran (Fussy eater) nice atmosphere and decorations much nicer inside than appears from the road. Very impressed by the menu great veggie options can highly recommend the beetroot wellington! Lovely creamy tarragon sauce overall as a Lunch special one of the best value meals I’ve head in a while. - starter: creamy garlic mushroom Don’t normally get excited about this dish but the focaccia underneath was super tasty could pick up the olive oil flavours baked into the bread. - Beetroot Pie& chicken and ham pie: Very good Gran Quote “it’s like a proper meal!” She very much enjoyed her pie too, pasty looked perfect. would come back and try more of their pies of the day. - biscoff Cheese cake. Love a pub meal cheese cake pudding, can’t normally go wrong and this was better than normal. Yum! - rest of the food: being the nosey B’ggers we are kept an eye on the other plates coming out. Even the burgers coming out looked decent. Lady serving us with the Big eyelashes was very friendly so was the younger lad. Kept the drinks flowing and answered our 1,000,000 questions. Nice to see a cider on tap that wasn’t thatchers. Hogs something. And good select of local craft ales. Top local pub in the area based on my recent visits! 1st place out of 5 Fantastic value (try the lunch menu) £16.95 For three courses Would normally expect to pay £21.95 for that kind of deal. Will be recommending.

We came here to celebrate a birthday. The service was excellent....the food was yummy.....we had a very nice afternoon. Would definitely recommend this pub. Fantastic:-)

Dropped in for bite to eat at lunchtime on a long bike ride.. staff are polite courteous reasonably priced.. Kelly was very helpful and food came quickly and was hot and delicious thoroughly recommended we will be back!

Fabulous meals always served with politeness and without waiting too long. Drinks are competitive pricing nice and cosy areas of the restaraunt.

We were looked after so well and the food was excellent. Such good value and so well looked after. The food was excellent and such good value.

Excellent food and good value well worth a visit. Only criticism is a bit more attention to the pub layout. Apart from that minor detail brilliant.

went in most days on holiday some of the best kept real ales in the area very helpful staff a good mixtureof youth and more mature didnt eat much but had lovely crab sandwichs about half a dozen times keep up the good work

Unlike most reviews on here I found that the staff were very nice and talkative - made me feel very welcome also. Thank you guys

This pub seemed a bit unwelcoming on our visit. The grounds are nice though so if you're sitting outside then it's ok.

Después de haber reservado una mesa para cuatro para el domingo a la hora del almuerzo, el propietario y el personal nos ignoraron por completo. Tuvimos que pedir un menú, el propietario se sorprendió de que queríamos comida! Las comidas tardaron 1 hora en llegar a pesar de que el restaurante no estaba lleno. Esta no es la primera vez que sucede. El propietario parecía grosero y no podía importarle menos! También descubrimos que después de llegar a casa nos cobraron dos veces por las bebidas. ¡No volveremos a poner un pie en este pub!

Esto solo debe ser un pub para los clientes habituales, tuvimos un torneo de fútbol cerca y la mitad de nosotros tuvimos un pedido y gastamos 200 en comida y estábamos esperando a que otra pareja nos acompañara. Cuando llegaron, les dijeron que lo sentimos, no podemos servirle, ya que puede que no sea suficiente para nuestros clientes habituales.Para ser justos, el asado era muy bueno, pero te hace preguntarte por qué los pubs rurales se están cerrando todo el tiempo.

For years the poor quality food has matched the equally poor service, but i see that the service has deteriorated further. Couldn’t bring myself to try the food even after having walked 20 minutes to get there. Truly awful place in every sense.

Acogedor pub del país. Un montón de aparcamiento. Fuego real El menú es bastante tradicional; Por ejemplo, sopa y curry del día, pescado y papas fritas, lasaña. . . más especiales, que podrían haber sido más emocionantes. Elegí el curry y venía con buenos trozos de pollo recién cocido, poppadum, chutney de mango y arroz. Muy bien. La tarta bakewell era excepcional. Personal amigable. Buen ambiente Precio razonable y buen valor.

Ample good food and friendly staff made our Dancing Christmas lunch special. No wants were a trouble so everyone satisfied.

Ideal Sunday location. Friendly old pub situated just outside Exeter,Visited with my family. We were served a lovely traditional roast lunch. A choice of lamb, beef, turkey. Vegetatian options available, the vegetable crumble served with plenty of veg was delicious. Generous portions of meat and veg, Delicious! Will certainly be visiting again.Staff very friendly. A very welcoming place.

We had a family dinner for 7. For a starter we shared some garlic bread with cheese. This came with processed sliced cheese on top. I would not feed that to kids! Two of the party had the Mozzarella Pasta bake and swore the cheese wasnt mozzarella. The wait time was huge. 2 hrs until we had the mains. Didn't seem busy. Cold as well. Not a great experience.

This pub has it all great beer gardens with loads of room,great special board and a very good menu with great guest ales.A brilliant atmosphere

Este es un gran pub tradicional que recomendaría. Visitamos con amigos en el camino a casa desde Killerton.

Aproximadamente 40 de nosotros llegamos aquí para el fin de semana. Área agradable para acampar. También funciona como campo de fútbol, ​​así que asegúrate de despejar todas las estacas de la tienda si acampar. El pub en sí es un agradable pub country antiguo con algunas buenas cervezas locales, el personal es amable y la casera muy servicial y amable. La comida está bien preparada y buena comida de pub. Como ya hemos dicho, había alrededor de 40 de nosotros y no sé cuánta ayuda tuvo la casera en la cocina, pero todas las cenas llegaron según lo ordenado, como todos los desayunos, bien, podría haber faltado algunos trozos, pero tan pronto como se mencionaron, Apareció, Debió haber trabajado como un demonio en la cocina y ella no es una chica de primavera, incluso encontró tiempo para salir y darle a mi pareja un Black pudding para su desayuno porque "es un tanto incómodo. No estoy seguro acerca de personas que quejarse de la decoración pasada en los pubs siempre y cuando esté limpio, ordenado y amable, realmente importa la decoración. Este lugar fue muy amable y un buen lugar para el fin de semana.

The staff are friendly the atmosphere haa a good vibe and we enjoyed are meals served on time and a good price . Nice range beer

Been here several times never disappoints friendly and helpful staff, the food here is amazing and good value. Location is good very peaceful with great views of the country side.

An Easter Sunday lunch at the New Inn, highly recommended. Perfect food, tender meat, plenty of veg. Yummy dessert. Great service, friendly. A perfectly relaxed afternoon where we all felt relaxed and very welcome

My partner and I got stranded here after our car broke down in the snow. Jake and Ashley were so welcoming and helpful. We were here for about 6-7 hours whilst waiting for the tow truck and without the staff and locals in this pub it would have an awful experience. I can't speak highly enough about this place. Would definitely visit again under better circumstances.

It’s getting hard to find a true pub ! But with the addition of good grub this hub of the community is it , dog friendly they even let me in !

Wife and I dropped in for lunch, wife had a sandwich and I had a cheese omlette, both were excellant. Beer (Otter Bitter) and wine were good too.

Had roast here today with my teenage daughter. Best pub roast we have had for ages. Great value, nice atmosphere and lovely staff. We will be back 😃😃

We enjoyed a Sunday lunch here with friends, the room was lovely and warm with a lovely fire. The vegetables were fantastic with a huge variety, but the meat tasted a bit like prepackaged sandwich meat, however the service was good and the meal excellent value

We often go to the New Inn for proper pub food and a couple of pints! It’s a good old fashioned country pub. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area!

First visit with my daughter was ok! So decided to take my husband for a second visit. I had the same meal and went for the gammon which I enjoyed whilst my husband had the rump steak which we wasn't quite sure was the correct one. It was rather inadequate and most definitely harder than it was ordered..!!! Whilst the meal looked pleasant there was a slight taste to several ingredients on our plates! The garlic bread could have done with an iron boost it was that pale!!!!After leaving disappointed my husband and I the following day and into the evening started to feel unwell. My husband suffered worse than I. Least to say after several years reviewing hotels, restaurants we will not be spending another dinner date here.. So dissatisfied with our meal.

Home cooked food at its best. Small menu compared to many establishments but who cares when it's done this well. Portions are very generous and excellent value for money. Cannot rate highly enough.

Locals country pub on the outskirts of the village with adequate off road parking, complete with football pitch and outside seating

Lamb shank. Fish cakes. Both off the specials menu. Superb. Really had an excellent meal. Will be back for more.

We have never had a bad meal there....the pub is remote, with lots of parking and outside area for drinking, smoking, and eating......also for children to let off steam.

Hmmm. This is our other local in our village. We have walked over a couple of times for a pint and always enjoyed it. Today we ate for the first time here. Two of us had a good meal (veggie and lasagne) and two of us had a bad meal (crab sarnie and fish and chips). The fish and chips got sent back and the crab was tasteless. So it looks like we will be back to just using it for a drink until there is an improvement. I hope so as I like this pub.

Organizamos una reunión familiar como el sol brillaba. Hay una buena selección de clásicos y una selección de la junta regularmente ofertas especiales. La comida era rápido y bien presentado para 9 personas. Nunca he tenido una mala experiencia. Buena selección de cervezas y sidras servido por un personal amable.

Fuimos allí en una noche preciosa y soleada de viernes, después de haber reservado una mesa para 4 adultos y 3 niños. Nos llevaron a nuestra mesa en una habitación oscura y lúgubre, y luego a la izquierda por nuestra propia durante años, antes de que alguien venga y invitan al tomar nuestro pedido (de hecho, tuvimos que ir y pedir al personal para venir).

Con tractores viejos poped vintage para encontrarse con algunos amigos, tuvimos sándwiches unas cuantas veces gran ale otter servido por un personal muy bueno no lo haciendo

This is one of the 2 pub / restaurants in our village we have eaten here quite often but I have never reviewed it.It has a nice homely country pub feel to it and is welcoming and friendly. We had Sunday lunch recently. Food is freshly cooked and plentiful and of a good quality we went for the roast which we both enjoyed, generous portions and good veg selection. puddings were very tasty.Drinks were reasonably priced with some nice wines on offer. The thing a little below par was the service, there were a number of young people employed who needed a little more tuition

Overall opinion the place could do with a whole revamp its not dirty but run down we didn't eat here but there seem to be a few good reviews personally I wouldn't chance it but could be wrong

We have lived in Exeter for just over 17 years and always been on the outlook for nice local pubs, well this is just that, a nice local pub with nice local people. we asked at the bar as to the possibility of eating for lunch, we were informed that there was no problem but because of a staff shortage there would be a short wait, no problems with that, me wife ordered Scampi, chips and pea, myself I only want a toasted sandwich with a portion of chips, the cost of these seemed to reflect the going price for these items in pubs in the area.After a short wait the food arrived, it was nice and hot and well cooked, it was probably not the best that we have had! but it was a long way from the worst, my wife's scampi was nicely cooked and a good portion, her chips were the same as were the peas. my sandwich was cheese and onion toasty, which was very good, the small salad on the side was a little disappointing, but as I had ordered a portion of chips to go with my sandwich this was not a major problem. both plates were left clean of food, which is a good indication of how the meals were. Would we go there again? without doubt xxx

First visit for a number of years so unsure what we would find. Locals sat with their pints were very friendly as was the guy behind the bar. We sat in a little dining area at the end of the bar and altho the food took awhile to come to the table it was a very pleasant wait. Food was hot, reasonably priced, good quality and plenty of it. All in all a very nice experience in an old country pub and one we will be repeating. Well done.(Shame the local cider was too strong to drink as I was diving. Perhaps next time I can get a driver}

Booked a table here to celebrate our birthdays, we were sitting in the dining area which was small and cosy. Lots of choice on the menu and also a specials board, smaller appetites are also catered for. Our meals were tasty and service was good, a lovely place to go and we would return.

Attended an annual lunch reunion for retirees of my former employment and traditional country style pub with friendly service and good food. Expectations were low but exceeded this year.

A friendly pub with tasty home cooked food. Never had a bad meal and always very helpful staff. A varied menu with something for everyone. It isn't fine dining but not sold to be such, a lively atmosphere and very good value for money.

A really warm and friendly welcome at this lovely old country Inn.The food was plentiful, indeed too plentiful, I wish they would offer half portions of their meals, even if only some of their meals.There was such a lovely atmosphere, the food was well presented, we all enjoyed what we had, but sadly were only able to eat one course!!!!

Cenamos tres dias consecutivos, abundante cantidad, las patatas fritas estaban bien hechas y no congeladas. Los camareros, sobre todo en la barra, muy amables y dando facilidades para entenderse.

Took the other half for dinner , service was not great, not made to feel welcome and if you can't cook chips then you need to take a look at who's in the kitchen, I have another pub to eat at in our village and they will be getting my money

No better, no worse than many similar pubs in the area. Serves Otter beer, has a skittles alley but food was just average. We will go again though.

Have always had a top quality and quantity meal. Good service and atmosphere. The beer is good too, a good choice of local beers

Ten of us went to the New Inn for a family Birthday gathering and we pre-booked the table. The New Inn is a family pub with plenty of space for the children to enjoy themselves. The Menu offered a range of varied choices, plus a "specials board". The food was good, reasonably priced and served quickly to all ten of us on hot plates - why do other restaurants serve hot food on cold plates? Nothing pretentious and the front of house aspect of greeting a large party needs to be improved. Happy to return and would recommend to those who want a "no frills, good food, sensible prices".

The family in I visited the New Inn for a casual dinner. The staff were friendly and efficient.I can definitely recommend the burgers as a tasty filling meal, they were quite impressive.. I will be back again..

Typical pub lunch. I chose the cold meat platter. Prices are slightly higher than the website. I think it was about £7.50 about a pound more expensive. The choice of menu was also smaller than the website. They were very accommodating as I didn't want chips so offered me extra salad. The home-made coleslaw was lovely, the chutney was nice as well as the dressing on the salad. All in all it was a fairly decent sized meal with beef, ham and proper chunky slices of chicken breast. The other half had a steak baguette and chips for the same price. The steak was cooked perfectly. We managed to get a nice table at the front of the pub which is much nicer than the back.

visted a number of times while on holiday meet some old friends for drinks very good otter ale and jake and josh are very proffesional and curteous behind the bar didnt eat but food looked ok.

We are local and have always driven past the new inn. We decided to take the plunge and love it . Big garden for the kids . Very welcoming staff and locals . And good honest pub grub .Can't ask for more than that

Went with my son and his friends who meet regularly and this was a very pleasant surprise with a great menu and very tasty well presented food. Great evening out. Will revisit when next in the area.

Had a lovely time at the new inn ,food was good ,barman Josh was excellent with lots of banta which we like and the barmaid was excellent (didn,t get her name) as well thoroughly recommend it

Good meal reasonably priced in friendly pub. Burger was not the usual but tasty and satisfying with another choice of duck nicely cooked

Been to the new inn a few times and recommended it to a friend who i went with today ......the food was nice but the whole time we were there eating ( and before our food came out ) there was a couple on the table opposite us with their dog and all the dog did was growl and bounce all over the seats where the customer sits . The barmaid then fed the dog some meat and we watched her go to the kitchen and carry our meals out without washing her hands which totally put us off our meals and did not enjoy it one bit .......not sure ill be returning again ....pets should be kept away from the eating areas especially growling ones when ive keft the kids home to enjoy a nice quiet lunch

six of us arranged to meet at this.lovely old English pub. The smell of a lovely wood fire welcomed us, once we parked in the large car park (should just mention, this is not exactly on a main road, so to speak....it is in the country)We were "right royally welcomed". We were offered drinks in front of the bar, whilst we waited for our table in the dining room to be ready. The staff could not do enough for us.....the menu and the special board was more than adequa to enable us to make an informed chocie.....Two chose tipsy duck...(considered absolutely delicious,) two beef and ale pies, (also consdiered absolutley delicious) one beer battered fish and chips and one scampi and chips...again great.Five of us ordered desserts, which were excellent...and coffee and more drinks were offered but we has all had more than enough. We all really enjoyed our visit, the service, the menu, the the abience, in fact the vening....so we will all definitely come again.

A good friendly pub we found the staff, and in particular the owner, to be very friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced, the reason I have given a Very Good rating rather than Average is that most people in our party were very pleased with the food. However, a couple of people found their steaks, although not cold, not as hot as perhaps they should have been and the meat in one of the pies, although plentiful was a little too fatty for their liking. For me however, the worse thing was the blackberry(?) and apple crumble where the skin on the apple had been left in and was extremely tough and inedible. Would I go back again? - yes I would give it another try.

Lovely Devon pub, friendly staff, and truly welcoming atmostphere.Good choice of food, well cooked, nicedly presented, and lots of it.Great pub grub...

We were a party of six visiting the New Inn. We were greeted by friendly staff and given a warm welcome. We chose our meals from a very varied menu. There was a good choice from the menu and also a number of specials from the special board. The meals were well presented, hot plates and meals and we all enjoyed our choices. A lovely choice of sweets were served followed by a good sized cup of really hot coffee. Altogether a very enjoyable evening. Thank you.

Warm and friendly atmosphere, pleasant staff and good service. Good food and good value. Will be back!

I like a pub lunch that a chef hasn't covered in a jus/creme/foam so I liked it here, proper pub lunch, we were walking round Broadclyst and called in on a weekday lunchtime and it got quite busy. Nice warm pub with a fire burning, friendly barman and something to eat at a decent price. Recommended.

What more can I say, the pub was lovely, and staff very friendly and attentive. The size of the portions was good, there were 4 of us and we all had something different and none of us were disappointed.

Arranged a large party and originally the owners were very pleased to accommodate. When it came to the day, they changed their minds about the food to be served and the staff were grumpy and ignorant. They were complaining about the children and the mess (although it was a party). They were clearing up our drinks before we had finished. Overall very very poor service and attitude

The New Inn was a charming old world English pub dating back to the 16th century with thick walls and a log fire with bags of atmosphere. The food is good and well presented with the cost keep very reasonable. The staff where helpful in all an extremely pleasant visit. The added bonus was it is dog friendly.

We booked a table for two. We were left waiting at the bar when we arrived, and ignored, as though we we invisible. We waited at the bar while another customer paid next to us, then the barman just walked off. When we were eventually spoken to, we were told where to find our table, not shown where it was. We had to seat ourselves. We sat down and waited........and waited.....and waited. No one came to our table to give us menus or take any drink order. The waitress was too busy standing behind us, talking to her friend at the bar. We waited for 20 minutes, sitting at our table. Eventually we got up and just left without any staff coming to our table. On the way out I told one of the bar staff why we were leaving. He just shrugged and said 'oh'. On arrival there was a really unwelcoming atmosphere. There was a group of men standing at the bar as we went in, who stared and blocked the access to the small restaurant. The staff were unhelpful and arrogant. We definitely won't be going back. They don't deserve our custom.

This is a lively pub with a good atmospehere - it is very family orientated (we've left a couple of times because there were lot of children around) however ideal if you are looking for somewhere to take the kids to play outside. Food is reasonably priced an large portions

The New Inn is run by Tony and Barbara and they take endless trouble to make sure you get what you want. The service is good and their Sunday dinners are particularly good value. You're sure of a friendly welcome at a very reasonable cost.

Had a delicious meal this evening at a very reasonable cost. The staff were friendly and helpful. Lovely outdoor seating area where dogs and children are welcome!

Went with a party of 17 for a pre-arranged visit.A most cordial welcome.Food all freshly cooked and well presented.Attentive staff.What more can one ask for?Would like to visit again and again!

Food was good but loud conversation by bad mannered middle aged men at the bar most off putting. One man said "I needed to pick the s--t off the toilet floor first" . Apart from being overly loud the conversation continued along the lines of "toilet humour" punctuated frequently with the "f" word.We felt upset to hear this when we had paid good money for a relaxing meal.There seemed to be an ant problem on the window cill near us and the table needed a good wipe as it was sticky.We have eaten here several times recently and enjoyed the food but will not be returning any time soon.

Went here for a friends party. Beautiful place but totally ruined by miserable unhappy owners. Extremely overpriced £3.95 for a pint of larger. Food menu limited.

Attended with a small group of Coeliacs for a prearranged lunchtime meeting. A good choice of gluten free meals was provided at a reasonable price. The pub has a large car park &, good outside eating area. The general menu is not large but is varied and the food is always well cooked & value for money (my wife is not a Coeliac and selects from the general menu). There is a good selection of local ale and in addition real Devon Cider from a local producer.

We popped in for an after-work meal but decided against eating at the New Inn. The chap behind the bar wasn't particularly welcoming and almost seemed to resent us interrupting his chat with the people sat at the bar. The minimal menu was terribly presented, being held together with sellotape and with allergen-advice stickers liberally sprinkled over the text! The setting is great but they really need to work on the welcome and the menu before we'd consider visiting again. The last time I went to the New Inn it was at lunchtime and the pub was packed, lively and welcoming. The food was great then too. Admittedly my last visit was about 3 years ago; I wonder what has happened?

We went to this pub for a function and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The food was excellent, I can't comment on the alcohol as I don't drink but over the time we were there the staff were really friendly and the skittle alley which we were able to use was a bonus. Sadly we don't live locally but if we did this would be a lovely friendly local.

This is my local, so I am happy to be called biased. It is my local principally because it gives excellent service, is friendly, never too crowded - and is good value. There is always a range of good beer, usually from a 100 mile radius - they like supporting local brewers. The range of strengths is good too - which is important if you are driving. The food is very tasty, and there are always some older persons taking advantage of a substantial meal at a reasonable price. Plenty of variety, from ham, egg and chips at around £7, to curries and pies. Probably best to ring in advance and check what is on that day.A very big garden and play area for children, plus tables outside (not for this time of year!). The porch at the front is now a large enclosed area for smokers, but this does not waft into the pub that I have noticed (I am a non-smoker).A bit off the beaten track, but useful if you are visiting Killerton. From Exeter, turn off right having just entered Broadclyst, then go straight on when the road swings hard right, and the pub is about 1/2 mile further on. Large car park.

A friendly country pub off the beaten track but well worth a visit. Plenty of parking and there is a large outside eating area. Real ales and real Devon Cider, from a local supplier,available. There is always a good varied menu with additional specials on the day. With advance warning this pub supplied an excellent Christmas meal for the local Coeliacs and will also cater for other dietary requirements.

this is a very welcoming pub the owner and staff are very welcome with no problem bring sometimes theses smelley relics the real ales are very good and also ciders i havnt had anything to eat but it looks very nice see you june 2015 for our next trips

Not a great eating experience or service. First choice of pie unavailable, 2nd choice burgers from the special board suspect not home cooked. Salad plain, chips average. Eating areas surprisingly limited and unattractive. Beer great though and small area at front homely.

My wife and I dined at the New Inn for the first time today. We were warmly welcomed by a most friendly and helpful barman, and when served with our drinks, found a table next to a roaring open fire. A good menu with plenty of choice and a selection of daily specials made it difficult to decide what to order, but I settled on the 8oz burger and my wife opted for the ham, chicken and leek pie. After just a few minutes, our meals arrived, both hearty portions, and very well presented. My burger was delicious, with lovely chunky home made chips, and my wife's pie looked very tempting indeed. The atmosphere was very cosy and relaxed, and we were asked a number of times if everything was OK or whether we needed anything else. The food was delicious, and neither of us had room for a dessert. Two gents sitting at the next table were enjoying ploughman's lunches which looked very good indeed. One of them enquired about the crisps which were on the plates, and where they could be obtained. The lady explained that although the pub did not sell them over the counter, they were most welcome to enjoy the remainder of the bag for nothing. It seemed that nothing was too much trouble.A choice of 4 superb local ales was on offer, all in excellent condition as I sampled one of each.On leaving the pub we were bid a friendly farewell by the staff, and left felling utterly satisfied. I could not fault any aspect of our visit, and we would definitely dine here again. Prices were reasonable and represented good value for money, and the staff couldn't do enough for you.A great Devon country pub which ticks all the boxes.

A lovely, welcoming, traditional country pub. The food is always of a high standard and as well as the usual offerings you would expect from a country pub there is also a specials board which offers the diner something different. The specials are changed regularly taking full advantage of seasonal produce. Special diets are catered for with Vegetarian and those with Gluten allergies not forgotten. In the winter there is a roaring fire and log burner which give the Inn a comfy feel. In the summer you can take advantage of outside area with plenty of outdoor seating and for a more intimate experience, try the restaurant. Barbara and Tony and their staff are very attentive and go the extra mile to ensure you have a great time. Thoroughly recommended!

A typical Devon country pub, no frills, nothing fancy but good friendly service and excellent food. Good value too and nothing was too much trouble - when I asked for some more gravy with my roast the waitress brought a huge jug, which was piping hot - lovely !!!!

This pub is nicely located in the countryside just out of Broadclyst, near Exeter, on the minor road to Whimple. It is obviously popular with the locals, has a decent car-park and large outside area and is dog friendly. It has lots of tables to eat at inside - nothing fancy, bordering on utilitarian. The bar staff are friendly and attentive. The food is plain ordinary pub grub but hot, the mains well cooked and not stingy on quantity (AND big plus that lots of finer restaurants could do well to emulate - came on HOT plates!!). Great place for a good pint and a pie and chips.We only rate this as average because we thought the food slightly over-priced and dessert (plum and frangipane tart was sloppy (literally) and overly sweet and didn't detect the almonds.Clean and welcoming. Looks like would have fantastic real fires in the winter.
