New Inn in East Lindsey

Our son chose her to celebrate him passing his gcses ,we always pop her for date night meals whenever im home from working away. The food it always exceptional plenty of fresh fish dishes and this time me and my son smashed in 3 courses each. Perfect timing between each course no rushing and were always last to leave. Nice little homely place to get away to away from the town centres. Alway a warm welcome and always will be regulars here.

We visited in. Thursday evening to celebrate a family birthday and had a lovely evening The dining room was warm and welcoming and busy enough to have a great atmosphere The food was excellent and obviously freshly cooked. I had the special of monkfish which was delicious The desserts were great with an excellent sticky toffee pudding (so many places get this wrong). Service was attentive and friendly and you didn’t feel rushed to leave like so many places nowadays that seem to only want you at the table for a couple of hours When the bill came, we were pleasantly surprised at the value for money. We will definitely be coming back

My fiance and I came here a week ago for a treat meal and what a treat it was! This was our first visit and I can already say we will definitely be going back. We were greeted with smiles from the door and shown to our table. I am 6 months pregnant also and the ladies who served us delighted in talking about my pregnancy and asking how I was feeling etc, it was lovely! The food was absolutely delicious. We had starters and mains and both enjoyed everything we had. You could tell it was all home made and time had been spent on each meal. The surroundings were lovely too. All in all, a lovely evening! Thank you!

Had the Sunday roast, it was delicious, best roast from this pub/restaurant. We were here for a weeks holiday and will definitely return if we are in the area again. The staff in the pub area were very friendly. A lovely local pub.

Excellent food, between us we had beef, chicken and pork, all so tasty staff were brilliant. Lovely decor and friendly atmosphere will definitely be back

Went there for Sunday lunch today and the staff and food was excellent and we will be back soon again !!

We took friends for Sunday lunch. Such lovely friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble - extra ice- more beers- sauces etc! Starters were delicious- soup, pate & fabulous halloumi sticks! The the most delicious main course—- roast silverside beef, done to perfection if you like just pink !! With a generous portion. The veg were great… not over done but firm & a super roast carrot. The Yorkshire pud was great, we had to fight over my hubby’s as he isn’t keen!! Lol. So too full for dessert but we all came away very happy & full. A fabulous Sunday lunch!!

Fantastic evening food was amazing service perfect lovely relaxed atmosphere would really recommend this restaurant

My wife and I decided to have a meal on a return trip back from Louth. Ideally situated just off the main road between Grimsby and Louth. Our meal was excellent. The ambiance was great with back ground blues music. And the staff where attentive and freindly. Plus the added bonus of real ale on tap.

Very attentive staff. Lovely atmosphere and exceptional food. I had the pan fried halibut off the specials menu and I can honestly say it was the best fish I have had in a long time. The desserts looked amazing too. We all went away extremely happy. Thank you

A real find, small menu but really well done. We had Beef Bourguignon and Honey glazed gammon, with Panko eggs (ace!) , and rosemary potatoes. Everything was cooked to perfection, the Beef was really flavourful and Tender with Chunky Gammon and really crispy wedges. Particularly attentive service and all plates cleaned. Julie (landlady?), was a hoot too. Very much recommended.

Arrive 12.15 for 12.30 meal. Still nothing at 1pm. Made comment at 1pm that if food not here by 1.30 I would go. Food arrive 1.10pm. 50 mins late. Excuse organiser should have indicted all here. No the establishment should have made a point of asking. All guests had arrived by 12.30. To make matters worse the food that arrived was appalling. Worst meal i have had in a long while. Baked potato Tuna Mayonnaise and salad. The Inn needs to learn how to bake and keep potatoes. Dark brown hard skin unable to cut at all. inside poatato itself not fluffy but clumped. Obvious it had been warmed up in microwave. About 7 others had same complaint and the only response from the waitress in charge was that no one else had ever complained about the baked potatoes and that the food was served before 1pm. No sorry or apology total indifference.No attempt to put the problem right. First time there and also the last

A very long wait to be served, 45 minutes. And the the food was uneatable. The staff weren't at all helpful

Very good experience - good food served very promptly. It was early evening - 6.30pm and the restaurant wasn't at all busy but parking was a squeeze - fortunately one car was just leaving otherwise we wouldn't have been able to park - seemed it was very, very busy in the bar. The staff were excellent especially the lady in the limey green top - her smile would brighten anyone's day - she was exceptionally pleasant - a rarity.

Took our good friends for an evening meal and it was excellent. Food was divine, service from The lovely Julie was excellent, and our friends really loved the decor and style of the restaurant. All in all, a lovely experience.

Another fantastic meal and drinks at this little hidden gem. Amazing food amazing drinks and amazing staff. Couldn’t ask anything more always warm welcome and enjoy the journey out to here for date night.

I had an evening meal here a couple of weeks ago with work colleagues and was so impressed I took my son this afternoon. The food is beautifully presented, fresh and very flavoursome. The owner's were both around and very friendly and professional. The restaurant itself is tastefully decorated and extremely spacious. A truly excellent dining experience. We will definitely return.

First Visit today (Birthday Treat) and definitely will not be our last. Wow what a beautiful place love the decor, just enough to create an interest, the spaces between the tables is great you do not feel cramped. I overheard many conversations as we left praising the food. Found the staff pleasant and helpful. Can totally recommend the Ham and Husband says the steak pie is Perfection. ( Worth a trip from Chesterfield for another meal). Can’t wait to return Thank you

Four of us visited on Sat 14th for a meal. Table was booked for 8pm, and we were seated at 19:55. It was obvious straight away that 2 members of staff was not enough to serve a full restaurant, one of whom was also serving in the bar. Our starters arrived at 21:05hrs! The food was good, but we won’t be rushing back as the service was just painfully slow on all the tables, not just ours.

Our first visit since the recent owners have had it and we were not disappointed! The staff were attentive but not overbearing, the food was lovely and fairly priced and the new decor was lovely. The tables are not too close together so you could have a conversation and relax.I also loved the feature wallpaper!All in all a lovely place to go and we will be back.

There were 5 of us out for a birthday meal. We all enjoyed our meals very much. The service was good. We did have a wait in between courses but that’s ideal for me. We had a drink and a chat while waiting.

Food very good , nice refurb , pleasant staff , will return soon . I had Salmon my partner had Steak

Were not sure when it would open in the evening but it opens from 5.00pm. Web site not easy to find on google. Interior decor very pleasant and seats comfortable. Good choice of beers and wines etc. Service was very pleasant, knowlegable and efficient. Other people eating and a good atmosphere.Satay chicken skewers for starter. Sauce a bit thin in a small pot and less chicken than we had expected. It was very nice but would have not looked much if it had been presented on 2 skewers.Items are cooked to order say 20 minutes between which we prefer so don't expect a quick meal.Main courses both very good, well cooked and presented and tasty. Salmon with honey and mustard dressing, asparagus, leeks and foudue potatoes. Linguini in an onion sauce with 3 king prawns and 2 large prawns in the shell. With asparagus. As the food was piping hot it was difficult to shell the prawns.Desserts were very well presented and a good choice, you can look on the menu and they are also on display. We had two different types of cheesecake, eton mess and raspberry brule, both probably made in house. You can have ice cream or cream or both.

We had a meal with some family on Saturday evening, and the whole experience was excellent, which not only applies to the food but also the staff and the surroundings. We would all highly recommend it.We will be returning in the near future

Great place, superb ambience, great food, excellent service. Looking forward to returning in the near future. What better recommendation.

Visited for lunch after the short steam journey from Ludborough. Good welcome and a lovely meal, would certainly call again.

On arrival at the New Inn a few short weeks ago, it was a perfect venue to meet up with our special friends from Australia, we were welcomed with warm friendly staff who showed to our table. the food is all prepared fresh for you, so it's understandable there will be a short wait. But this fitted in with us as we had a lot to chat about over a couple of drinks, the food was served piping hot and cooked to perfection. Our friends who are now back home in Aus. still chat about our New Inn visit & our lovely meal. The restaurant is superbly decorated, and has a lovely warm feel to it. The prices are very fair and portions very generous, finally a huge thank you to all at New Inn for making our visit most memorable. We will certainly return to sample the great food again.

Under new ownership and back to being a great place to go for a meal. Lovely renovation job in the restaurant - feels very airy and light. Food is delicious and a wide choice to suit all tastes. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. Well worth a visit and I would urge locals to support - we don't want to lose this great village amenity again!

New inn just started doing meals about 10 weeks ago under new management. Food amazing . Service excellent. Lovely seating and dining area

Lovely decor, light airy and very pretty! The food omg the food... I had the seafood salad and the lemon posset and it was all wonderful! I can’t wait to come back! All homemade food even the shortbread! Waitress was friendly and very helpful!

Great refurbishment by new owners, tried most things on the menu and liked everything, particularly the homemade steak and pie. Good choice of real ales and wines. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere

The New Inn has recently reopened. Stopped in after 11 mile walk and had a lovely lunch and beer. Service and food was great, would definitely go back. Thanks.

The New Inn at North Thoresby has been closed for several weeks now, and has not served food for many months.

Used to be a great and thriving place to go, but yet again brewery has only had a temp looking after it , been no food at all since god knows when, always promises of things to come that never actually happen, if brewery not careful it will become a derelict ruin. They ought to sell the place and let someone who is really interested in making a go of it take it on.Star Inns are letting a lot of people down especially the local community who have always supported it.

We called in here today looking for some lunch. We had no expectations but what we found was a fantastic lunch. The food was tasty and well presented and portions were a good size.. not too big or too small.... The Brie and blueberry tartlet was amazing and served with a Mediterranean salad and fries. My husband's steak and ale pie was equally good. There was a good number of tables in the bar and restaurant and seemed busy for a Saturday lunch time. We chose to eat on the patio. Some parasols on the patio would have made it even better.

We booked in last minute as previously it had always been hard to get in. We were very happy as it was our anniversary meal.

Paramos para el almuerzo de hoy, pero nunca más. Llegamos a las 12 y nos llevaron a una mesa y pedimos de beber. Nos quedamos con menús, pero pedí a compartir, ya que fueron muy cortos. . . Extraño porque no estaba lleno. Pedimos comida cuando las bebidas llegamos pero nos dijeron que no había llegado el pescado desde el proveedor. Elegimos tres comidas diferentes. Después de aproximadamente 20 minutos el director nos dijo que habría un retraso ya hubieran tenido un corte de electricidad de 5 minutos en la cocina. Una hora y 20 minutos después llegamos nuestras comidas fueron debidamente entregado! He publicado fotos de la comida! Las comidas eran de vergüenza. . . poco hecha, insípido, mal presentado y muy caro. Nos quejamos al director, quien a su crédito únicamente por las bebidas y una comida. . . Que abruman nuestro día. . . volveríamos nunca! ! Tienen dos diferentes puntos de comentario aquí, así que he recibido dos críticas. Claramente, algunas personas han tenido buena comida aquí, pero no era.

We decided to take my mum out as a surprise for a trip down memory lane today, so we went to Ludbrough Station where they run the old steam trains on certain days which she loved . We got off the train at North Thoresby where my mum grew up and we went to the New Inn for lunch ( bad idea)

Como residentes de la aldea es estupendo tener un buen pub local para ir a por una bebida o algo para comer. El New Inn es el lugar ideal para eso! Bajo nueva dirección, yo y mi esposa hemos comido allí varias veces y no me ha decepcionado. El personal es cálido y amable, el servicio excelente y la comida es genial! Mi esposa tiene intolerancias alimentarias específicas y el chef estaba más que dispuesto a ajustar el menú para adaptarse a ella (sin ningún problema o pregunta). Que evidentemente cuidar de la cerveza ya que era excelente, no hay duda de que limpia las líneas! En general, lo recomiendo totalmente visitar ya que será recibido con los brazos abiertos y servían una comida fantástica en un entorno precioso. Lugar perfecto para el verano.

Aparte de la señora quejándose de todo nos sentamos junto a nosotros (siempre hay uno) fue la mejor comida de salida que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo. El servicio era perfecto, y fueron extremadamente ocupado la comida era deliciosa, no me podía quejar de nada. Los niños estaban bailando, ya que pasó de tener una banda en vivo jazz volveremos muy pronto que seguro era una tarde fantástica. Me quedé muy impresionado.

Visite el nuevo año cada familia reuniones Inn que viven lejos, y este es el último año que se use este lugar. El servicio era desorganizado y descuidado, nuestra reserva parecía haber sido olvidado. Ni siquiera te ofrecen un menú vegetariano cuando pregunté, tuvimos que pedir y pedir de nuevo. . . .

We have not been for a while , interested enough to give it a try, pleased to see the new owners have started to make a difference to the "old new inn"

Decepcionó a decir que ya no puede subir nuestro local y tomarse una cerveza o comida si tenemos nuestro perro con nosotros. El atractivo principal de la New Inn desde el 'otro pub 'en el pueblo era mantenido es pub local pueblo sentir y todos nos bienvenido. Este ya no es el caso bajo la nueva propiedad. Totalmente de acuerdo con no se admiten perros en el restaurante y odio ver perros en los asientos o corriendo alrededor de un pub (ruinas, para el resto de nosotros) pero bien educados en la zona del bar? Bueno tiempo para encontrar un acogedor pub en otro lugar. Pd: Gracias por tu Kirsty tratando y acogedor.

Visited whilst on steam train visit from ludborough. New management in only a week. Very friendly with good small bites, the beef in a ciabatta was good. Did not have a card reader yet so don't forget your cash!

We were regular visitors to the New Inn when the previous owner (Kirsty) was there. It's a really friendly pub, the staff are lovely and we've also dined there several times. One bonus previously was that they also welcomed four-legged friends (on leads) in the Bar. However, knowing that the pub was undergoing a change of ownership I decided to check with them first to enquire whether we would still be allowed to take our Dog in with us. So I contacted them via the messaging service on Facebook to check; I received a reply of "yes we will still allow dogs in the bar" Great, I thought - this is a country pub and lots of people take their dogs in. On this basis we visited with our dog about 2 weeks ago, ordered drinks and were then told we'd have to either go in the Pool room or outside with our dog. As it was cold outside we chose the Pool room which has no bar, no one else in it and zero atmosphere. Not very welcoming for new owners especially as I had enquired first about the dog. Feeling as though we weren't wanted there we quickly finished our drinks and left. I made further enquiries later with the management again via Facebook and could see that it had been read but they didn't bother to reply to me. We do of course go to lots of places without our dog and it's not as though we can't go out socially without her but it's a bit disappointing to be told we could take her in and then made to feel so unwelcome when we did. Not impressed.

My wife and I were experiencing the short heritage Lincolnshire Wolds Steam Railway journey between Ludborough and North Thoresby on Easter Monday. The New Inn is quite close to the North Thoresby railway station, we have been here before but only for a drink or bar snack, this time we had a table in the very nice and fair sized restaurant. The food and drinks we ordered were very good, competitively priced and were served by very polite waitresses. After the meal we went for a short walk into the village and back just in time to get our train back to Ludborough. Being members of The Lincolnshire Wolds Railway we will be making this journey again and will be visiting the New Inn.

Arranged a family meal for my sisters birthday with various family members - 13 in total. I had pre-booked the table, and they were more than happy for me to go in beforehand and decorate the table with balloons etc.The food was absolutely delicious, we had to wait for a while for it to be served, but it was very busy, and clearly cooked from fresh, so a wait is to be expected. I couldn't fault it at all, staff were lovely and pleasant, and nothing was too much trouble. Everyone in the group was very happy with everything. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely food waitresses​ polite and helpful sadly not many people eating on the day we visited so did lack a little atmosphere

We went for a birthday meal as it had been recommended to us. If the review was just on the food I would probably be giving a four out of five as the food was very good. The service was another story!!! We were not asked what we would like with our meal ie chips or potatoes, salad or vegetables, somebody had to come back and ask. When the meals came we had to ask for some sauces, the steak knife wouldn't cut hot butter and throughout the meal nobody came over to ask if everything was alright. There was no atmosphere and the decor was awful, looked like it had not been touched for ten years.

We visited here with a group of 11 in total (family catch up) We live in Dorset so visiting family who live in North Thoresby. Booked ahead as such a large group! Arrived to an empty dining room with zero atmosphere, music in the background when we arrived but soon stopped and then it was just so quiet. While we were there there were only 2 other tables of 2 people so very quiet especially for a Saturday evening! It took an hour to place an order and then when the food arrived it was all wrong. We had steak that had to be sent back as under cooked (asked for well done and came out pink throughout) Meals were missing salads/ peas and all just a bit of a shambles. We had to ask for sauces twice and then we were given tiny little pots that would only serve one plate.. not ideal when 11 people are wanting the same!! The young waitress was very unenthusiastic and we had to keep asking for drinks, steak knives, sauces etc. There was no checking if everything was ok, asking if she could get us anything. She was stood behind the counter looking extremely bored and fed up and we just felt like an inconvenience. A small number of our group ordered puddings which again arrived with the wrong sides (custard/ice cream etc) We had to wait for 10 minutes after puddings arrived for spoons even after asking!! My 5 year old son asked for a chocolate sponge pudding that came out tasting of alcohol. I asked the waitress if she could ask for the ingredients as 4 of us all tasted it and agreed it had an alcoholic flavour only to be sneered at and told no it didn't. Needless to say he didn't eat it! The only good thing about the whole evening was the company of the family I'm afraid. The family members that live in the village have said they would never return and I think that sums it up! Decor shabby, toilets filthy and wallpaper peeling off the doors... the worst thing for us was the service. Such a shame!! I would give this place a zero if I could. Avoid avoid avoid!!

Met an old work colleague for lunch and had a nice meal. Good choice, although they had no brown bread, at a reasonable price. Good service but we were the only ones in there virtually. Friendly staff.

I went over to see my parents at Holton Le Clay, with high hopes of a slap up fish dinner at the ocean in Cleethorpes, only to find we couldn't get in and my mum bless her had booked a table at the New Inn North Thoresby. On arrival there were very few cars in the car park and no one in the pub at all, at 1pm an a Saturday - I thought our day was doomed as did my parents. We stayed, sat in the deserted but clean and warm conservatory at the rear. The menu looked good - I like good hearty food! We ordered two steak pies, fish and chips and I had the fish pie. After a sensible wait the food was served. It looked and tasted great. My Fish pie was creamy and well stocked with fish and prawns, the Fish and chip was great - a very light batter super chips and garden peas. The steak pie was full of meat well seasoned and flavoursome, the gravy substantial not the thin dish water some serve up the fish pie and steak pies were served with a nice selection of properly cooked veg, I do not like vegetables I have to chew or crunch but neither do I like those that are wet and bland - these were very nice. It was such a shame to see good reasonably priced food with good beer being served without a throng to eat it...Get back there its still a good venue!

Myself and my wife have visited the new Inn on several occasions, and as normal, the food and the service was great. We will definitely be going again now that we have found a local taxi service. Many thanks, see you soon.

We found this little gem on the way back from Donna Nook after a freezing hour viewing the seals. On arrival I was greeted by friendly staff who gave me a choice of the lagers and served me quickly. The room was clean, tables and decor in theme with the pub and their was a friendly atmosphere. We looked at the food menu - which has a wide range of options which all sounded amazing - then my partner ordered. We were offered the option of opening a tab which we declined. The food was presented well, came piping hot and was delicious. It's somewhere we would definitely visit again.

Visited this pub numerous times over the years under 2 to 3 different owners and usually enjoyed our dining out experience. Today 8 of the family met today for Sunday lunch to celebrate a birthday. It was very nice to be told the birthday person had a free meal. The dining room at the back of the pub was almost empty - unusual for a Sunday lunchtime. The place needs brightening up as it is very outdated - not always a bad thing but it needs something here to lighten the plainness. The dado was chipped in places, dated and insignificant pictures on the wall, a wire was hanging down from a ceiling light that was missing. It was not overly warm. The welcome was non-existent - a glance up from their conversation was all the waiting staff could muster. They were pleasant when serving, particularly the young man, but the service was so slow despite 3 staff and very few customers. I was pleased to taste the Black Sheep cask ale, that can be very different in different venues, was very good. I had a vege lasagne but it was not very layered and had a dishevelled appearance on the plate. My wife had a mushroom strudel but she was not too impressed. Mine was supposed to come with chips but didn't. There were plenty of vegetables served in separate dishes that tasted OK. It seems a shame that was once a very popular pub has not moved on to keep abreast or be ahead of the competition out there.

We were here for a quick lunch during a damp day out for a walk, and hoped to find a friendly local pub, maybe with a log fire or some warming cheer on a dreary day... wish we hadn't bothered!The place was dull inside, not particularly busy, and after searching around to find a CLEAN table , ( many were sticky , not cleaned properly) we ordered lunch- reasonably priced, yes, but obviously because cheap ingredients are being used. It was slightly off putting to be sharing the dining space with a large, damp smelly dog, but when the woman at the table next to us put her little dog on the seat next to her- that was the final straw.Would not recommend at all, particularly if you are keen on hygiene.

First poor meal we have had to be fair however how hard can Sunday Roast be to cook to a good standard. I will not be returning nor will the couple on the table next to us. Service from staff was dire I had to ask for the drinks we had ordered 15 minutes earlier.. no apple sauce or horseradish to accompany meats food lookwarm. I would not recommend this Inn for food anymore and I apologise to those I have recommended it to.

We popped in for a lunch together and we're pleased to hear that our four-legged friend was welcome too. Our drinks and food orders were taken quickly and the food arrived in a reasonable time, which was great. (They even cooked a sausage for us for the dog! )My Grimsby Fish was tasty and the batter was light, the chips were homemade - lovely! My husband's gammon and pineapple was tasty too. The portions were very generous, and the offer on a Wednesday was 2 mains for £15 from a selection on the menu. With two drinks, it was only £22 - great value too. I would definitely recommend and return, especially as our dog was welcome!

Visited with my mum. First impressions.. village pub.. decent sized car park.. tidy enough outside.Inside.. older fashioned.. traditional style pub. First thing that hit us on the way in was flies?! Strange.. but lots of flies about. Needs a fly capture device in the pub maybe? I think another reviewer also remarked on this?Two ladies behind the bar. Not one smiled or even said hello. We sat down at a very dirty table.. wet and salted! No menus on tables. 4 elderly people were eating nearby and one man on his own. Even they didn't look up! After a while of sitting... and still no interaction from the staff... I walked over to where there was a stack of clip boards with menus attached. The paper menus were quite battered.. and in need of replacement. The prices were really quite expensive for such an old run down looking interior. No visible hygiene rating either.. so worried! Then went to find a sheet was missing from the menu clip board.. with some better prices.. but nothing special stood out. Waiting another 5 mins.. no response from staff. So left. On the way out the staff didn't even say anything! Incredible. In all my years of mystery shopping, professional reviews and even casual ones.. I have never been ignored completely. I will never come back here.. nor would I recommend anyone else. What a shame. I like to support local, homemade food.. but after this experience I would favour a pub chain! We did go to the Royal Oak at Holton Le Clay afterwards.. two meals for £10 and totally homemade. Hygiene 5 stars. Superb welcome and service throughout. The New Inn need to visit here to learn from them.

We visited the New Inn this evening for our tea. I had booked in advance as I didn't know wether it would be busy. Very surprised when we arrived the restaurant was closed, there was nobody in the car park or in the main bar. The pub looked very run down. I said that we had pre booked and we were asked to take a table. The table was tatty and covered in sticky glass rings. We ordered our food and a round of drinks but they only had one beer available. We waited for our meal to arrive and was not particularly looking forward to it. We were actually surprise as the food was well cooked and presented. It was a shame that the atmosphere and the pub itself was not of the same standard.

Our reason for visiting was to enjoy the 40s weekend ,plus our favourite jazz band Easy Riders were playing at the New Inn for the afternoon We had a most enjoyable afternoon first enjoying Sunday lunch at the Inn thanks to the staff who fitted us in without us having a booking Thankyou . Easy Riders were in full swing playing a selection of Jazz and Blues also playing music that we could sing to very quietly I might add. A fabulous session between the hours of 12 & 4 we so enjoyed the music .Thankyou Easy Riders the more you play the better you get ,such a happy friendly group of musicians.

The food here is average, the staff not at all friendly, once had a roast dinner here, the vegetables hardly cooked, hardly any meat, yet prices above average...!! Not somewhere I would return to in a hurry.

Without doubt one of the worst pub meals I have ever had, if not the worst.We had been down visiting family in the area and decided we were going to call in somewhere for food and was recommended The New Inn!Staff were nice and pleasant, locals were like the ones from The Slaughtered Lamb in American Werewolf in London where they stop everything they are doing and just stare at you the whole time (felt very uneasy)!More flies in there than people which were constantly landing on us and our "food".I ordered the lasagne which came out a very bright yellow colour as if it had some sort of food dye in it and it was over cooked making it all mushy and tasteless.I swapped it with my wife's steak and ale pie which was so dry I needed a full gravy boat to attempt it. It was as if it had been left under a heat lamp for hours but we were the first order to be taken of the night????Diet Coke was nice though and it was the real deal as it was poured straight from the bottle on to ice.Would never go back to this place again and was really disappointed after a long drive.It might have been possible that the chef had called in sick perhaps??

This was the first time myself and family have been here in years. We were recommended by a friend who said it was wonderful and it really didn't disappoint! Will be returning!

Pub grub is what is served but it is tasty. There is a very large menu and they serve huge portions!! It's located in a very quiet area but it's always busy!

As a family we have often gone to the new Inn for family celebrations or just for lunch during the week or on a Sunday. Me and my mum went on Saturday and yet again the dining room was closed however there was a sign that food was available in the bar, we went through to the bar to be told that food was not available because the chef had let them down. I do understand that these things happen but this is the 3rd ocassions when we have been turned away. We won't be going again because it is quite a drive and the last couple of times the food has not been great my brother had a large blonde hair in his burger and mine was vry greasy. They have painted the walls but still they need to wash the salt and pepper pots on the tables the tea pots are also quite dirty looking.

Have been quite a few times and have never been disappointed with the food at allIt is plentiful and tastyService good tooPrefer to eat in bar area as it has more atmosphere

2 for £15 good staff gammon steak beautiful lovely pub in quiet village unless in village you would need a car as buses not regular enough

Prebooked a table to celebrate a 30th birthday, on arrival we were left sat outside for 1 and a quarter hours, had to ask for menus in the end as there was no sign of any service. We were advised that 'steak sauces' where the only items missing from the menu. This was not much of an issue at all, until after placing our order an hour later we were advised that actually the kitchen was out of sausages, mash and steaks meaning that 5 members of our group had to change their orders. Other dishes were delivered not matching description - personally, I ordered 'smoked haddock, motezerlla and spring onion fish cakes, served on a bed of mixed salad and sweet chili sauce'. On arrival I was greeted with two prepacked fish cakes, dry and tasteless chips and a very large portion of peas. There was no assistance or understanding from the owners, in fact they preferred to play the card of: 'Oh well I have only just been informed by the kitchen of the issues so this is not my fault'. An absolute disgrace I will be very surprised if the new owners stay in business long at all!

Turned up for a birthday meal for 5:30pm. Still no menus arrived by 6:45pm until we asked for them. Eventually got to table which hadn't been set. (incidentally, there were still many empty tables despite them saying they were fully booked). Then some meals arrived, some didn't. Then told that there were no steaks left (despite ordering an hour earlier) - can you choose something else please?. Went for something easy - scampi and chips. Plate arrived with some scampi and scabby chips but mostly full of peas. Have had better meals out of the freezer and in the oven for 30 mins at home. Others in group had to change meals. Couldn't keep waiting for all meals to arrive and most of us had finished before final meal eventually turned up. Similar goings on at other tables even though restaurant far from fully occupied. If only Basil Fawlty had been there - he could have shown then how to run a restaurant!. Absolute shambles! Did feel some sympathy for the young waitress though who did her very best in difficult circumstances.

we called in without booking, and was shown to our table for two, there was a menu for two meals for 15 poundsbut i shows fish and chips, which was cooked par excellent ,we both enjoyed our meals the staff were friendly, and the place was clean and tidy ,just been refurbished ,will be going again

Stopped off for lunch on the spare of the moment. The newly decorated dining room seemed a bit sparse mixing the old dated furniture with the modern wall covering. We arrived a few minutes before about four or five other groups. The waitress took our order and food delivered in around 20 minutes. Both the meat pie and my partners BBQ burger were very tastly and good quality. We became aware that other diners were still waiting and meals were not very forthcoming. By the time we left only 2 other tables had received their food having waited an hour and there were still 3 other groups waiting. We heard the waitress apologise but was not able to give an explanation. Although food was good don't think we will return unless we have about 4 hours to spare.

Decided to have lunch ,on arrival disappointed that restaurant side was closed as a refurb was ongoing.However decided to go in the bar for food.Friendly staff,welcomed us and served quickly.Lasagne portion size was a lot smaller than on previous visit,homemade pie was excellent,however both meals had small portion of chips accompanying the mains.Rather quiet for a Friday lunchtime,probably due to dining room being closed.Hope the smaller portions are not to subsidise the refit ?Will give it a miss for a while now,hopefully things improve when back in full swing.

Myself, my partner, child and Grandmother visited for something to eat on a Sunday afternoon in May. We went into the restaurant side and it was very busy but we were found a table on the bar side. We were really surprised how nice the bar area was, it wasn't like a 'bar' at all. The friendly waitress took our order promptly.2 of us had soup to start (tasty and hot) and we all had a roast dinner for mains. We didn't wait long at all, the quality of the food was good and we all had clean plates by the end. I really like the 'potting shed' area in the bar with pool table etc. The boys could go off and do their thing whilst my Grandma and I finished our drinks. The bill came to £45 for 2 starters, 4 mains and 4 drinks, which we thought was quite good value. It's not somewhere that is a la carte or fine dining but it does what it says on the tin and the food/service were both great so we will be returning the future!

Had Fish and chips, was told Fish was Haddock but not very tasty. The chips were pale but had sprinkling of brown bits on them (From the Fryer?) Vinegar in cheap looking bottle and small vases etc. Dirty and Greasy. Waitress very pleasant!

Good food, plenty of it which was well cooked and presented. I found the sald strange, no tomatoes or onions but plenty of peppers , cucumber and beetroot, but thats a personal thing.

2 steaks and 2 starters or deserts for £20, can be hit and miss, some times it has been really nice and other times the steak has been tough. Unless ordering from the special's it can be a bit pricey for what it is (trying to be something its not), its just a village pub not a-la-carte!!!

I tried this place on a whim my friend had just moved into the area and we fancied a roast dinner it was lovely, home made Yorkshire puds tasty lamb proper mash potatoes and real vegetables. The staff where lovely and very attentive. The dessert was wonderful. The only issue I had was I would of like a jug of gravy, but I'm sure if we had asked we would of got it. The barman was very nice and helpful. Prices was perfect. Highly recommend this and I shall be back!

Not been for a while, had poor service last time.this time completely different.the food was really nice, the two ladies serving were very busy and very efficient and polite too- well done and thank you- excellent value for money. will return.

Our meals were excellent couldn't fault it. Generous portions, good value for money. My partner had fish with prawns I had beef it was very well cooked and lean. Would definatly revisit.

We were looking for a friendly pub with restaurant that could accommodate a large party for a family meal in the Christmas period with a good selection on the menu. We found it!!!!. The meal we had that lunch time was excellent. We went on to book our family gathering meal in December. There is a large selection on the menu something for everyone. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We are looking forward to going back.

Lovely traditional food, we both had the steak pie, the meat melted in your mouth, friendly staff and good value for money, lots of choices. A+

This was an excellent meal with great home made food and excellent value for money. The straff and host were excellent and I will certainly be going again. Three courses of tasty choices all served hot and with ample portions. Recommend to anyone to try.

We popped in for an early eveing meal last night. The New Inn wasn't busy and we were served immediately. I had the Grimsby Haddock and my husband chose the Lincolnshire sausages. Both meals were excellent, indeed mine was probably the best fish and chips I have had for some time. Service was attentive and engaging. Two meals £12 - what a bargain for freshly cooked meals using quality local produce.

Me and my family have been here 3 times 2 was for Sunday Lunches and the 1 was when it was my Grandad birthday.Every time we have been here the staff are very friendly and the food is excellent

my husband and i have been for the sunday lunch on several occasions and found the food excellent typical home cooked food
