The New Inn 1 Bridge Street Coldingham Berwickshire in Scottish Borders

Nothing vegetarian on the menu (really?! in 2024?!) so had to ask, and was given two choices. Opted for veggie lasagne with garlic bread. Worst veggie lasagne I’ve ever had. Half cooked veggies in tomato water, no bechamel (or even cheese) sauce and a thick layer of chewy mozzarella on top. Garlic bread was a slice of white toast with chunks of garlic on top. Would not recommend.

We had the Tuesday Tapas; king prawns in spicy sauce; lasagne; fish pie and steak in peppercorn sauce with chips. Absolutely amazing. We eat here regularly and have never had a disappointing meal but tonight’s tapas was very special. Well done new Inn.

Had Tuesday tapas and was delicious. Shared it .... perfect! Often eat here when on holiday in Coldingham. Dog friendly in pool room.

Excellent, home-cooked food, nicely presented. I had smoked haddock fish cake, obviously made in house, with home-cooked hand cut chips and salad garnish. My partner had the lamb shank. Very tasty and enjoyable. Friendly personable staff, excellent service. Don’t miss this gem.

We are staying locally and this is the only place that serves food. No vegetarian options at all ! Really hard to believe in this day and age. My vegetarian wife had a fish pie which was delicious and I had a chicken dish that was ok. You have to accept that this is Scotland so it’s all very basic. We had a dog with us so had to sit in the empty pool room. Zero atmosphere.

The food was so delicious, just what we needed after a trek to and from the beach. Friendly and fast service. Absolutely would return again :-)

We had an early diner here and this pub was still busy. I had the me.t in the mouth fish with black pudding and hubby opted for the chicken highlander (which was a new one on us). Both were delicious and I would struggle to name my favourite. Another table ordered the pue and they looked fantastic. Going on an evening I would book especially on a weekend. Car park adjacent.

The staff were lovely, the pub lovely but the food was not great at all. The kids meals were greasy and bland, the fish over cooked and again not seasoned right. Everything was just meh and cost us nearly £60 for four meals. I’ve had better ready meals. Such a shame as the village is lovely, beach gorgeous and staff so kind but they really need to up their food game.

Very nice pub with a small bar room with seating up a small flight of stairs where food is served. Large dog friendly beer garden to the rear where we ate. Food very good at reasonable prices. Varied menu. Alcohol prices also very reasonable. Plenty of young helpful staff. Very pleased.

Read the rules about dogs carefully as we didn’t fancy being corralled in the games room with the pool table (see previous review). It sounded like things had changed and that there was now a special dog area of the bar so we went. First impressions, good. Plenty of character. Bit of a buzz. But what’s this? Upstairs, out the back door, round the corner and into … the pool room. No one else there. No atmosphere. Tatty furniture. Asked for a table inside, took the dog home, delaying the meal. Food ok, service ok, not much for vegetarians unless they eat fish. Don’t think the barman liked us very much.

We could not fault the food or service. And we are grateful that you were able to fit us in. There was no one eating, when we got there. But why say you are dog friendly pub and then stick people upstairs in a games room. If people had come and played pool.We would have had to leave, as it would have been noisy. We offered to sit in the bar area , but we were told dogs are not allowed in the bar. The choice of food was lovely. And we did have a chuckle over the Garlic bread. It was a slice of bread with garlic butter over it. I suppose we should have had a drink there first to see if it would be suitable.Our fault.

Absolute gem of a find . The food was absolutely lovely with an excellent choice on the menu, children’s menu too. Dog friendly room . Staff very accommodating and welcoming .

We visited the New Inn during our 4-night stay in Coldingham. It was quiet & we opted to eat in the bar. We both had chicken highlander (chicken stuffed with haggis & wrapped in bacon) covered in sauce with chunky chips & veg. It was very tasty & a good portion size. We followed it with sticky toffee pudding & ice cream which was delicious & a generous portion size. There was a good list of options to choose from on the blackboard & main courses were reasonably priced - definitely worth a visit!

We have eaten here many times but tonight was very disappointing. Presentation was awful! Scampi came in a row on the plate with some chips which weren't great, no salad or peas. Looked like a child had dished it up. My husband had the fish which looked really nice but again no colour on the plate with either side salad or peas. I understand that some people maybe don't want any sides but feel that you should be asking your customers if they would like some. Not worth the money and would think twice about returning.

Ate here on a Saturday evening with 3 friends and the food was excellent - I had the pheasant special with cranberry jus and mustard mash and my friends had two different chicken dishes and the sea bass. Very high quality food. We would definitely recommend it.

Garlic bread made out of brown loaf bread, the saddest looking scampi, and salad garnish which has been sat on a prepped plate for hours does not make a good meal. My husband and I will not be returning.

Been here a few times - great food and amazing service, the steak pie is UNBELIEVABLE. Love a visit here whenever we’re nearby

Had a lovely meal here. I had the haddock and black pudding which was excellent, my wife had the lasagne which was so big a potion that she struggled to finish it (the garlic bread was fab as well). Good service and very reasonable prices.

Managed to get a table downstairs in the bar area which was snug and warm. We shared the homemade pate as a started which was excellent and well portioned. For mains we had a starter of the squid and a portion of chips and the steak and ale pie. Both were very tasty and well presented and filling! service was really good and staff attentive and polite. Great place to eat, highly recomended.

Great food , nice ambiance , and 2 proper ales on tap. Wide choice of menu, open fire and all meals cooke on the premises ! Highly recommended !

Says dog friendly but they quickly usher you round the back into a completely separate soul less room with formica tables and chairs and suprisingly a carpet?? We sat there alone and although the food reviews are good we opted not to eat there or visit again, ever .

I called to enquire about Sunday roast and the girl who answered the phone was friendly and helpful and explained that they could sell out before 5pm but the main menu was available until 7:30 pm. She suggested to book for 4:45 so I did. She would inform the chef we wanted the roast. We arrived on time and another couple arrived at the same time though they hadn't booked. We were shown to a table which was right in the way of the waitresses coming up and down the stairs and next to the door out to the beer garden, even though there were more tables available. The other couple were given a better table, were served before us and ordered drinks and Roast dinner. Eventually a girl asked us what we would like to drink. I ordered sparkling water and my husband a pint. I intended having a glass of wine with my dinner. The drinks were brought and we were asked if we were ready to order. Thankfully the roast dinner was still available! After a reasonable wait the meals were brought and a small jug of extra gravy was placed on the table. No communication from the waitress, she was off back down the stairs. So no chance to order wine. The meals were well presented and hot and the vegetables looked fresh and a generous portion of beef which was tender. It seemed strange to have 3 different types of potatoes, mash which wasn't creamy, 1 roasted with a funny taste and 1 boiled with the skin on. The vegetables were al dente. My husband cleared his plate though he would have liked his veg cooked longer, and also ate what I didn't eat so our plates were emptied. A waitress came to ask if we'd finished and took our plates away. She didn't ask if we'd enjoyed our meal, would we like another drink, dessert, coffee nothing just off down the stairs again! We sat digesting our meal and could hear the conversation between staff and a local down in the bar and wondered if anyone would come up to see if we were ok and did we want anything else. Unbelievably no one did! Eventually we went down to see about paying and 2 girls were behind a counter/ bar? One of them told my husband how much we owed and as he was finding the means to pay she put 2 chocolates on the counter but didn't say anything. She gave my husband his change and we left. The management/ owner of this establishment need to teach the young girls the social skills needed to work in the hospitality industry. Also how they can contribute to the profit of the business by offering and encouraging customers to indulge in the food and drinks displayed on the boards! This interaction would greatly enhance the atmosphere, the experience of customers and contribute to the staff enjoying their work and giving them confidence. Also they will get tips! What I learned from this visit is my roast dinner is far superior so save your money, cook at home and enjoy it with a bottle of wine and a nice dessert.

I'm a dog owner, the room that we got put into was cold. A pool table in the middle, not getting used. Two other people in with dogs. I think its in need of a furniture move around. Meal was nice. Young staff need more training.

Don't waste your time. We picked Coldingham partly because there was 1 pub that 'claimed' to be dog friendly. We should have listened to other reviews. Checked online. Dog friendly and open to 10pm. Walked 15 minutes along a dark road arrived at 8.45 to be told their 'dog friendly' part of the bar shuts at 9. Lame pathetic excuses followed, ZERO people skills, common sense or initiative. Absolute wet wipes not fit to run a pub. Needless to say we will NEVER go near the place again and all we wanted was 1 drink with 1 small quiet dog. Absolute chocolate fireguard cretins. At least the Anchor states no dogs (though pathetic too). Go to Eyemouth instead, at least there are folk running pubs there with decency, people skills and more than half a brain cell.

Walked to be immediately told that dogs are not allowed in the room we walked into. Sign outside saying dog friendly… obviously not that friendly…. Left and will not be going back

Far better places to eat locally, try the Cross Inn in Paxton. At the New Inn, staff are rude and need some lessons in customer service! We are locals and have had fish and chips on a Friday night from here every week for years. Tonight called up and were told no collections, or orders for take away as they are too busy. No sorry, no apology and a very rude tone. Good luck getting locals to come here when the tourists are gone.

Called in for dinner. Friendly staff, great beer and good food. Belhaven Steak and Ale pie highly recommended. Recommend you book to avoid disappointment.

Finding somewhere to eat in this area is a bit limited so we took our chances with The New Inn. Arrived at 19:45 and asked about an evening meal and were told the kitchen would close at 20:00 so we would have to be quick...

Staying in St Abbs for a few days and found this gem. Lovely friendly service and the food is just lovely had the best steak in a long time!! Highly recommend

We love the new inn, bev the landlady is so welcoming and friendly as is christopher her son, the locals that get in are friendly and welcoming too, previous review mustnt have been at the same pub we frequent each year we at colania dene...

Do not go into this pub unless you’re happy to listen to unchallenged, foul mouthed and misogynistic language. My wife has just had to sit and listen to women being referred to as b*tches and when the bar staff were challenged the answer was ‘it...

Selected as dog friendly. But this means being put in a room separated from the main pub in with pool table, dart board and loud tv. Not a pleasant environment for dinner. Food was good and the gammon steak excellent. Food served at a rush...

After a long walk finding The New Inn was just what was needed. To start we shared the paté which claimed to be homemade and lived up to the claim. We then had the haddock and black pudding and steak and ale pie. Both were...

A warm welcome from Roddy and the waitresses at the New Inn. We didn’t book and on a Saturday evening thought it might be a trip to the chippy, although the restaurant was full a table was free in the bar, We enjoyed real cask...

Decent enough. Had Sunday lunch. Polite and friendly. Food all okay Parking available which is a bonus as a very tight small village

Just had a fantastic meal at the new inn food was amazing the services was fantastic big portions freshly made well worth a visit

Went for a meal for husband’s birthday tonight (Saturday) meal was lovely. Service ok up to the point we finished. No one asked us if we wanted dessert or the bill or if we enjoy the meal. All the tables around us did. Gave up...

We enjoyed a lovely meal here after a walk around Abbs Head peninsula. Adults shared mackerel and black pudding and also a chicken ballotine wrapped around haggis in a peppercorn sauce. The food was delightful and our waitress really looked after us- she inspired us...

Good food, good service and a pleasant beer garden. Would certainly go again and recommend to others.

Menu doesn't have much choice and it's not normal pub food. Not the traditional food for pubs. Has limited choice if you have dietary requirements especially vegetarian meals Needs to improve menu. Gammon and steak and ale pies where nice. Portions are good sizes. Not...

Visited before after covid and had a pleasant experience However this time in may got told at 7.45 dogs were not allowed in bar But the board outside states dog friendly Didn’t feel welcome

Absolutely brilliant I had the lobster and muscles could not fault them they where gluten free and my wife had Paul the owner and chef make her a beautiful vegetarian pasta dish that wasn't even on the menu will defo go back soon.

Good menu selection but unfortunately the service, staff attitude and communication was poor. We were a party of 9 adults and a smallish plate of chips was to share between 2 on one table and between 3 on our table, a request for another portion...

we visited the New Inn on a weekend break and enjoyed the warm atmosphere in the bar then we went upstairs for a very enjoyable meal, plenty of young competent staff serving ,we hope to visit on our next visit to Coldingham. thank you

We had three meals here and food was very tasty. Service was great and staff were friendly and attentive. The pub is small in the bar and the restaurant but it was full every night. We booked a table for each night Of our stay...

We’d popped in here a couple of times for a drink. It’s clearly a pub for locals and you don’t get much of a warm welcome. As we were on holiday in Coldingham for a week we decided to go for dinner one evening. Again...

The waitresses weren't friendly and everything seemed to be a bit too much to ask. We were given one bowl of chips for 2 people to share and another bowl, the same size, for 3 people to share. We did ask for another portion but...

We were looking for a nice Sunday roast and were not disappointed. Everything was cooked to perfection and was served in next to no time. Reasonable price too.

Phoned up Friday evening looking for somewhere to eat as our usual spot wasn't taking any further tables that evening. The lady on the phone was so lovely and although they would normally have finished food service they waited for us to arrive and we...

A lovely dinner of Highlander chicken and chicken with peppercorn sauce, both with fresh veg and chips. Prompt friendly service and good value. Can recommend.

Having walked along the shoreline from Eyemouth to St Abbs, we were feeling rather peckish so decided we'd like dinner before heading back. We were told by a local jogger that Coldingham probably had a better choice of places to dine so we headed back...

Went for evening meal here. The little room upstairs was crammed with tables, elbows almost touching those of neighbouring diners. No written menu but the blackboard was behind another table & bottom half obscured by the diners.Half the menu was crossed out ( mainly all...

Had a wonderful meal. Chicken highlander was outstanding as was the steak. Great service and quality cooking. Will Be back soon

So disappointing as it said it was vegitarian friendly...it was not. My only choice was leek and potato soup. It was Sunday lunch and I was hoping for a roast.

Visited here for Sunday Lunch , only two vegetarian options, one of which was sold out therefore soup was the only option for the vegetarian attending . Fish and chips quality was pretty rubbish , chips were like roast potatoes but very greasy . Crab...

Only 2 vegetarian options which weren't very interesting. Tomato and vegetable pasta dish very basic. My husband had the gammon which he said was nice. He didn't enjoy chips that came with it though. Expensive for what we got, but then I suppose everything is...

Great wee pub in Coldingham, just on the road to St Abbs. Great service & the food is great too. Steak pie is really nice & the home made chips are really something else! Highly recommended & will be back for sure;-)

A meal factory of a pub. All the food looked pale and dull. Partner said meat dish was fine but the side veg was one floret of broccoli and a table spoon of carrot mush. No vegetarian options on the blackboard (not very welcoming) ....

Was passing by and decided to drop in for lunch. Great decision. Lovely little pub. Don’t normally eat a big lunch but had the best potato skins to start. Then the chicken highlander - lovely. Wasn’t going to have a dessert but spotted the pavlova...

The menu is a notch above the standard fare, with some different and interesting dishes, both meat and fish... The service was friendly Only one of the cask ales was on, but was a nice pint Wine rather limited, which is a shame given the...

We called in without booking. Tables were moved and fitted us in. Very friendly staff who were knowledgable about the food and drinks. Excellent highland chicken, haddock and chips. Pork escalopes, and steak pie. Plenty of other choices of seasonal food. Will be back anytime...

Went on Sunday eveving and got a table in the restaurant area. nice and snug and not crowded. We had pigeon and pate to start, both excellant. Mains were the steak and ale pie and the home made scampi. Both plates were very tasty and...

Went here with family for Sunday lunch. The beef is to die for. So tender and tasty. The only reason its not a 5 is all the meals were a little sparse on veg! What there was on the pkate was very tasty though and...

The pleasure was not pleasurable enough. The cuisine made it extremely unlikely to be able to call this place a restaurant. The music was very unpleasant and I felt so sad? The anger when eating my green chicken pie (what made it green?) was overflowing...

Went to evening meal, very friendly staff, lovely food. Partner said it’s the best steak he’s had for a very long time! Would recommend.

Stopped in for lunch on our road trip. Friendly waitress took us through a generally shabby main bar to the dog-friendly restaurant area at the back. Lots of options on the menu, a good number of which were ‘sold out’. We ordered Scampi & Chips...

Dined here tonight (twice this week!) superb food at reasonable prices. Staff friendly & efficient. Great atmosphere- lively but very nice. Would highly recommend- we’ll definitely be back the next time in area.

Quite disappointed. Went for a Sunday lunch with the family. Food: Food quality is little better than standard office canteen quality. The meat and one roast potato had the distinct tells of being ‘brought in’ and heated i.e not freshly made. Quantity did not make...

Pleasantly surprised. After reading some previous reviews that gave this pub restaurant poor comments my wife and I had a delicious meal in this quaint traditional hostelry. Friendly staff, good ambience and tremendous food what’s not to like. Would definitely recommend

Coldingham has two pubs, so as you can expect, this is very much a locals pub. We popped in here for a drink and the next day for food. We sat in the bar area for the drink which was very busy and noisy with...

Staff really friendly and helpful and made to feel welcome. Personally the meals lacked in colour /presentation, a bit of salad or peas on the kids choice or peas with my scampi would of made them more appealing but I know obviously kids are picky and probably a lot would waste. However, we all enjoyed our meal and it was definitely better than it looked. The sweets were lovely and no improvement needed on them they all tasted as good as they looked!!

We ate here twice whilst staying in Coldingham and both times it was lovely. We had to eat in the beer garden as was fully booked indoors where dogs were allowed but luckily the sun was shining. We tried the steak pie, fish and chips...

Went in tonight on chance. Although fully booked later, we didn’t feel rushed and the food was good, almost too much of the steak pie! Staff very pleasant and efficient

We have eaten twice at the New Inn this week, each time taking our Labrador with us. You can take a dog indoors, although the available room is quite small, so booking is definitely advisable. It would be nice if the decor was a bit smarter, but to be honest the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff more than make up for that. The only negative is that vegetarian options are very limited, unless you eat fish. Fortunately my partner does, and she enjoyed both the vegetable gratin and the fish and chips. My steak pie, and rump steak were excellent.

Once again we thank Bev, Paul, Jnr, Chris, Izzy, Roddy & Zoe for looking after us. We had a fantastic time, with wonderful food and hospitality. This has to be the best pub in the Borders and beyond. Back in October and can't wait.

Dog friendly but only if you sit in a poorly decorated off room distinctly lacking in atmosphere. Food not great to be honest, poor choice of not a meat eater and the seafood that was on the menu had sold out by 12.30?! Waitress was friendly and efficient. Toilets need updating.

Called in for a drink after a visit to Eyemouth. We were told we could drink indoors, no problem. As soon as we got to the bar, the landlady told us we must wear masks whilst at the bar or moving round. We were fine with that, realising we were in Scotland & not England. However, as the locals started to arrive, without masks! no one was told they must wear a mask! I counted 11 people come into the bar area while we were there & none of them had masks or were asked to wear one. None of the locals even acknowledged we were there. It seems there’s one rule for holiday makers ( or was it because we are English!) and another for the locals. We certainly won’t be returning during our week in the area.

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff and very tasty food! What a find! Beautiful fresh fish and tender steak pie. The desserts were home made and just what we needed. All staff couldn’t do enough for us and all with a huge smile.

Food was disgusting and under cooked and couldn’t eat it. Great place to go for a drink as it’s friendly and welcome! Just don’t eat there

Always pop in here for food and drinks when we stay at colania dene, lovely friendly family run pub, chris is dead canny , his mam is too, always made welcome. The food is spot on too Be back next august thanks for another lovely meal, good banter and food too, loclas very friendly too up here!!! Lisa, stephen ncle.

We booked for Sunday lunch we got there to be told there was none left so we ordered off the menu our meals arrived the portion sizes were like off the kids menu absolutely tiny when it says the meal comes with veg you would think it would be more than 1. Stalk of broccoli literally one peace. I think it is disgusting how a place like this can charge that much nearly £15 for couple sausages one spoon mash and 1 peace broccoli will not be returning

Brilliant restaurant bev Roddy Paul fantastic attention a joy to dine in the new inn menu is great not a huge choice but more than enough cant wait till next time

Great food at a reasonable price. Good menu choice. COVID-19 friendly Odd smell around ladies toilet - smelled like a cat at strayed in!

We drove over the border to Scotland from our nearby cottage, we parked up and did a great coastal walk with fantastic views. We then walked inland to Coldingham were we found this traditional pub and to our surprise it had customers indoors? The rules here were different from England during this Covid time as you can eat indoors if with a soft drink. So had the steak pie with chips and a small amount of vegetables, there was plentiful steak pieces just not too keen on the puff pastry topping. After we went outside and had a drink of alcohol in the beer garden.

Stopped in here for a meal after being at the beach after friends said it was the better of 2 pubs and it was a mistake. We were seated up the stairs with 1 other table. Ordered drinks which arrived and then told someone else would take our food order. Place an order and waited 45 minutes for 6 mains. 3 Sunday roasts a steak pie, pork sizzler and a chicken with peppercorn sauce. The 5 of the meals arrived and 3 roads were sent back as they were cold and we waited for these and the 6th meal. They returned slightly warmer. The chicken was tough and chewy and sauce lacking of flavour. Everyone said they wouldn't return.

Food was good staff were attentive and effective and no way at fault for the very poor protocols in place, ineffective management nowhere to be seen, understand need to get business's up and running but 24 people in the upstairs room for dinner crammed in a room no more the 5m square was downright dangerous and no track in place or even an attempt at ventilation. Room was quiet when we entered but 2 groups of 6/7 people in total came in with no regard for others personal space and one ended up sitting shoulder to shoulder with my wife albeit in different directions and stared at menu board above our heads. Not recomended if you have covid insecurities.Meals was left 3/4 complete and we left for our own safety.

Food is outstanding and well presented, draught and bottles are of plenty of options, staff are friendly and welcoming, real “pub” feel to the place and maybe a place we don’t appreciate enough, will return and tell all friends, keep up the good work

Staying locally in a rented holiday home. Less then 4 minute walk to the pub. Went for lunch one sunny afternoon. Nice spacious outdoor seating area and dogs are allowed too. We both had fish and chips and it was excellent! All fresh, batter was great and the chips were to die for! Chunky, crispy and soft. My only very minor fault were the soft drinks; they came in cans poured into glasses, for the price I’d expect glass bottles. Nothing major though. Would recommend and a very pleasant place to eat and relax in the sun!

We visited one evening and sat in the side room where we could bring our dog We had the fish cakes and the steak and ale pie It was absolutely delicious Proper pub food and all locally sourced Highly recommend

Really lovely place, staff very attentive. Food was great and super fast and food was super hot. Thank for a lovely dinner.

Had high hopes for the New Inn but the reality was disappointing. From the moment we entered made to feel like an inconvenience to the staff, while some staff were clearly young and inexperienced the lack of basic customer service was worrying. For example, an item we ordered never turned up and when we queried it we were told it had been scored out on the order, with no explanation or apology as if we were ridiculous for asking. The food is usual pub grub, steak pie, fish and chips which was fine however it’s advertised as an a la carte menu which it isn’t. The food is a non issue compared with the really poor customer service which is unfortunate as really the only choice for eating out in Coldingham.

Lovely restaurant and pub. Staff really helpful and friendly and the food was great. Had a hearty portion of fish and chips one night and went back the following week for the Chicken highlander...both great and big portions. Only downside was my friend being veggie and could do with a few more options as only a vegetarian bake and a pasta dish. Apart from that will definitely go back on my next visit :)

We have been to the New Inn on a few occasions and every time the food has been great ! Very fresh food, melt in the mouth meat and lovely desserts. I cannot fault the food at all. Staff have always been friendly . Outdoor beer garden is a good wee area too. However lately the cleanliness has been very poor. Even covid aside tables should be cleaned better, but with covid they should be cleaned every time. I got given a high chair for my baby that looked like it had 6 months worth of food and stains on it and then a glass with lipstick marks on it. This is not an acceptable standard at any time, but especially with covid. If going request the room on the middle floor, the top floor room is very run down old shabby chairs and cobwebs all over the walls. No excuse when should have had a deep clean prior to re opening . No social distancing at all between tables.

Lovely family lunch. Beautiful fresh food. The garden area looked great. Perfect on a sunny day. Nice friendly staff, we’ll visit again when back in the area.

Went in here with my family on the 1st may ,was so impressed with meal and service went back on the second ,can’t recommend it highly enough food is superb and pints really fresh and tasty ,can’t wait to go back in a few weeks magic.

My cousins and I dropped in for lunch recently with our 3 large dogs. The staff could not have been more helpful in accommodating us. They opened a function room so we would have lots of room. The food was lovely and fresh and lots of it.

Great food and friendly staffWhilst on holiday in Coldingham we visited the New Inn for drinks and went back later for food. I had gammon, pineapple and chips which was cooked perfectly and my mum had king prawns which were gorgeous. Staff were very friendly and attentive. There was track and trace in place, hand sanitiser and staff were wearing mask. I would definitely recommend the New Inn.

We ate dinner here when staying nearby. We were walk-ins but bagged a corner table and never felt others were too close. Track and trace, sanitiser and face masks were in evidence. No menus on the table - it's all on the blackboard. We had a lamb shank and king prawns, both were very good, and came quite quickly. Staff were congregating at the bar, they could perhaps have been more subtle and spent more time wiping tables etc. We didn't use the loos. But the food was tasty and we felt safe. Worth a punt.

Visited here last weekend. Impressed with the track and trace measures on entry. We were shown upstairs to the dining room. We quickly had our orders taken, service was good and the food was superb (gammon steak, scampi and chips and steak and ale pie all enjoyed). However I can only give 3 out of 5 due to the lack of social distancing, one side of our table were sat back to back with a foots distance between us!! We were going to eat there a second time but decided against it for that reason which was a shame
