The New Inn in Sedgemoor

Walked in Friday night, got a table upstairs, great food, good service, nothing more to say.

They had lovely specials in the 3 days when we ate there.

Very nice, friendly, welcoming and accommodating establishment. Lovely place to visit for a meal after climbing Crooks Peak

Fantastic food and really nice pub.

Lovely food, great service and warm and welcoming

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a fantastic pub! I love this pub, it’s everything you’d want from a local. The staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. The food is amazing—big portions, great quality, and everything tastes freshly made. I have come in for a quick bite and also a full meal, and have never been disappointed. They’ve got a great selection of drinks too, and the atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming. It’s got a lovely mix of traditional charm with a modern twist, and it’s spotless. It’s such a great spot, especially if you’ve been exploring Cheddar Gorge or Axbridge. Honestly, I can’t fault it. Perfect for a meal out or just a quiet drink. I’ll definitely be back soon!

This used to be a friendly place to drop in for a drink and a bite to eat but not today. We got a very curt ‘no, we are fully booked’ when we asked about food today. It was not busy and several tables cleared while we stopped for a drink so am not convinced we could not have been squeezed in if the attitude was more positive. Even if it was impossible to make space the staff should appear to be sorry to disappoint. We are local but will avoid in future.

Nice selection of classic pub food and drinks.

Great pub, my favourite pub in our area even though it's not my local. It has a lovely location (the parking can be a bit problematic, but if you walk there, it's golden). It's always pretty busy, so do book (particularly on a Sunday). It's full of lovely, friendly people, lots of walkers and cyclists, and friendly dogs! Very fast service, and mostly very knowledgeable (I think there was someone on their first shift, so it's forgiveable she wasn't sure). It's quite noisy but not as much as you think because the tables are nicely spaced out - it's a little bit of a warren but I'm a nice way! Quite cozy. We went on a Sunday and the nut roast was a popular vegan option, and there were gluten free options as well I believe. There's also a small menu that isn't roasts on a Sunday so options for everyone. The roasts come with lots of nicely cooked and varied vegetables - the best bit! Lovely pub, really the only one I'd go to in this area if it were up to me!

Currently visiting the area and called in after reading so many positive reviews. Extremely good food and well kept real ales. A really lovely pub, ambiance and friendly, professional staff. Will look forward to visiting again. 😋👍🏻

Loved the food. Clean presentable facilities.

It was Deborah Kaye's review that brought me to the New Inn for a solo Sunday roast, and I can say is it's all true, I'm just polishing it off and the flavours are exquisite!! The cauli cheese is off the scale, amazing melted cheddar layer, works so well with the beef & horseradish.... and the red cabbage too, just perfect, I'll definitely be back.

Great pub. Friendly staff. Great food. Huge choice.

The New Inn managed to fit us in at 24hrs notice for Sunday lunch. Quite tricky as we were a table of 8. The setting is lovely and only just off the Strawberry Line which was perfect as we were cycling though. Sunday lunch was lovely, tender meat, perfect sized portions with lots of sides. Kids and adults all equally satisfied. Will definitely recommend and return soon.

100% the best roast dinner around. The staff are so friendly and hospitable. A real eye for detail and the food is such high quality! I would definitely recommend any one passing the area to visit. We regularly visit and have always had a fantastic experience! Great parking and children’s play area!

Was a bit reluctant as we were looking at an old menu online so when we got there it wasn't on the menu what we wanted, so we ordered something else ans omg it was lovely we both enjoyed our meals and would definitely go back.

Brilliant . Staff friendly always, great atmosphere , food great for everyone however pork chop qiute dry and overcooked but still Love it here X

Had Sunday lunch here whilst on holiday in the area, the staff are really lovely and the food was amazing and even when I had a problem with my oat milk for my coffee they sorted it out swiftly. Highly recommended 🙂

It's a very nice country pub with a lovely beer garden. I can't comment on the food as I was just a passing by and needed a pint. The staff are very friendly and from what I understand is that the bar gets very busy from 16.30 in the afternoons when the locals start coming in.

Proper pub with large specials board above fireplace, plus extensive main menu. Went for basic sausage and mash but quality sausage, veg perfectly cooked and banging onion gravy. Open all day for food so good to get in early evening as car ark is quite small

Staying nearby and was recommended this pub..excellent food..excellent service..pub has a warm feel to it when you walk in..dog friendly which was a bonus.

Great food at a good price with excellent service. A good selection on the menu and of beers at the bar. Particularly nice when you drop in on a place just on the off chance.

Absolute gem of a place that we stumbled upon almost by accident. We were there early (4.45ish) so we're able to get a table without having booked. The menu is excellent and the specials all sounded delicious. Our party had the lamb and mint burger, Tuna with risotto and fish & chips and all meals were really tasty and beautifully presented. We are not local but would definitely make a point of going for food again when anywhere near.

Lovely. Saw good reviews for here so thought we’d give it a try and so glad we did. Lovely, tasty, homemade, hearty food for the adults and the little ones. Really nice, friendly atmosphere, made to feel really welcome.

Really nice meal not the cheapest but quality

Absolutely incredible food. Really good sized portions. Tasted amazing. Arrived quickly. We were so impressed by everything. The lady serving us (short hair) was super nice and friendly, and gave us such a warm welcome. Beautiful views and a playground for the kids. We'll definitely be back. Thank you x

Delicious food. Lovely beer garden. Lovely staff.

Fantastic meal, great portions, good price. Staff where friendly. If you're looking for somewhere to eat roundabout cheddar then I can highly recommend the New Inn. Absolutely fantastic food, especially the fish and chips and the chicken supreme. Stuffed and very happy. (Especially if you're staying at cheddar Woods spa and resort as it is only 5 minutes up the road)

First time we've been here, very happy with food, and prices, service and surroundings. Sat in garden, lovely view. Play area for children too, and not tucked away. Slightly noisy from the busy main road, but not noticed after a short while! Recommended

Just popped over there to have a big ol' meal for the family at lunchtime - 50th birthday for m' aunt. Everybody's dinners looked amazing and it was thumbs up all round! I had a late breakfast so had the baked camembert from the specials menu - it was either that or I was going to go for the focacia starter with the soup. The menu made that sound a lot nicer than my basic explanation! Other option for me was to go for the soup with some seasoned fries and piece of mature cheddar. Cheddar of course being... just down the road! I trust and hope it was local, hey! So uhh, yeah another great looking dish that caught my eye and my cousins, was a mint lamb burger with haloumi, c'orr it looked bloody great. My bread with the camembert was baked and super fresh! Very good bread indeed. Could've done with more butter, but still - great dish! The prices are a little steep for my student butt, but the food goes to show for that - big time! The atmosphere is surely nice enough and I was engulfed in the nostalgia of seeing the play park with its iconic tree face play thing, and the swing set. The kiddies seemed entertained! So uhhm, yeah - highly recommend - nice owner, nice bar lady, waitress took photos for the family with a smile on her face, waiter seemed a little pressured or something - ended up knocking some bits over and the pickle that fell behind me had me made a joke of. No it didn't come out me pants, uncle! Hehe hehe. Nah it was great there, and I can't wait to go back!

Great pub, great staff and great views, highly recommended.

Food brilliant. Lunch time lady an absolute angel nothing is to much

Bloomin Marvellous. Defo coming back. Best Pub food I’ve had in ages. Delicious.

My daughter ordered a starter as a main with chips & onion rings, but they got it wrong, brought it out by itself, so she had to eat that, then the chips & onion rings came out with mine & my grandson's mains

The food was lovely but one of the staff members who served us at the til was very rude and had such a miserable face, she was talking to me like I was stupid. You would have thought we would have had more respect after spending over £100. Won’t be going there again how disappointing.

We loved the New Inn, the food and service was excellent. Although parking seemed to be limited.

The food & service was excellent, the best we’ve had in a long time. Dan’s a superb chef

My favorite pub in this area.Great lunch, top real ale. Spotlessly clean.

Lovely pints of ale and cider. Very dog friendly. Lots of room in the garden for children and dogs. Best pub chips ever.

Really lovely find! Fantastic gastro pub type food with a warm welcome. Specials board out of this world. Should get those chefs on masterchef! Top quality food

Fantastic Sunday roast will definitely be going back.

Liver and bacon excellent well worth trying

Came in to the new inn at cross last night for food it was absolutely stunning the chef very clearly knows what he is doing I could not fault a single part of our experience all the staff where extremely friendly and happy to see us I could not recommend the new inn more we will definitely be returning very soon

Fantastic little pub. Happily catered for us during a last minute trip through the area after arriving via Bristol Airport. despite the kitchen closing, they took time to find some space and time to order. Great food and really friendly staff. This will become our go-to place next time we go away.

Been eating here for years - one of the few consistently reliable pubs around. Very good choice on food & real ale front - what's not to like !

I have visited this pub regularly over the last couple of years and always had excellent food but I have never had the Sunday lunch before until today and my goodness it was the best roast I have ever eaten out! The portion sizes were perfect, golden crisp roast potatoes (which is key for my roast dinner experience) succulent meat. Everything just really got your taste buds going. We were lucky enough to be able to enjoy our roast in the outdoor seating area as the sun was shining and it was lovely. Highly recommend the new inn.

We had preordered food and arrived as a group of 22. Fast food service, good beer and all enjoyed the visit. The Ox cheek, kidney and pancetta pie was really tasty. We will be back.....

Absolutely fantastic staff landlord the best I've ever had he's been in that pub 20 years 10 out of ten food fantastic

Need to update the website with booking information.

Lovely pub, very impressed by the Sunday roasts which were high quality and with great portions. Unusually good.

Title: Exquisite Sunday Roast Experience at The New Inn Cross Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of indulging in a delightful Sunday roast at The New Inn Cross, and I must say it was a truly exceptional experience from start to finish. From the warm and inviting ambiance of the pub to the mouthwatering dishes served, every aspect of my visit exceeded my expectations. The roast itself was a culinary masterpiece - the perfectly cooked meats were succulent and flavorful, accompanied by a generous selection of seasonal vegetables that were cooked to perfection. The crispy roast potatoes and fluffy Yorkshire pudding were the cherry on top of this delectable meal. What truly stood out to me was the impeccable service provided by the staff. They were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. The cozy atmosphere of the pub added to the overall charm of the meal, making it a truly memorable Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend The New Inn Cross for anyone looking to enjoy a traditional Sunday roast in a welcoming and cozy setting. Whether you're a local looking for a new favorite spot or a visitor passing through, this pub is a must-visit for food enthusiasts and casual diners alike. I cannot wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience.

Went here last night, and I was very impressed. The chef and the team certainly know how to cook . Interesting menu with high-quality produce . Very nice ales as well. Highly recommended.

We stayed locally to the New Inn. The atmosphere was great on our visit . We ate there both nights as the food was great on the first visit . The second we had the roast, it was unbelievable the best we have had in any pub. Very highly recommend! A good choice of ales and other drinks . Will definitely go back when in the area .

The food is stunning, quality ingredients very generous portions and every dish I would have again 👌. Can't wait to go back.

Hi, we went to this restraunt on a Sunday and was expecting a nice roast dinner. We went around 5pm and HAD RAN OUT. This was really upsetting for us. We then ordered some drinks and they had no glasses that were washed so the bar tender had to go wash some up. I then received my drink and it was bassically half full. I personally think that it is very expensive for what it was. My burger was 15 quid and has to wait 30minutes for it. It was a medium burger with around 6 chips. I’m not being a Karen I’m just being honest. I don’t think I will be returning

Very friendly staff and very good food

Stunning food. Friendly staff. Will definitely return.

Great place. A template for how a pub should be run.

The New Inn at Cross is another locally visited pub. There is a good range of drinks to choose from and it is also popular with walkers stopping off along the West Mendip Way. The food here is average to be honest. I've eaten here a few times and I'm never disappointed, but not wowed either. Its value for money though. Kid friendly play area is available putside.

Great food. Stilton Sauce is to die for! Self-service for food\drink - no problem just stating. Gardens great, overlooking Cheddar hills

The food is very reliable, service good too.

Friendly, cosy ,lovely food n beers

Tasty food, but some of it felt a little overpriced

Popped into this pub as I was staying up the road in a near by hotel. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious too - would definitely recommend and would come back ☺️ had a really nice feel to the place and made me feel welcome as a solo traveller

A mix of locals at the bar/seating area, and tourists dining. Probably best to book ahead, since seating is limited and there are not too many independent restaurants in the locale. Parking is opposite the Inn, with on road parking available. A little tight, but okay. Food portions are large, so value is good. Everything was tasty too. Vegetarian options were limited. The menu is available online.

Been twice had great time both visits and food was lovely 😋😃

Great people great food and we'll priced

Great Sunday lunch. The staff were fantastic and the food was very good. Will definitely come again!

Bangin little pub with fantastic food amazing views and really nice staff and walking distance from me stay away...........defo worth ago...... At least you gotta have ago on their chips there fantastic 👌

The New Inn, in Cross, is a fantastic example of Ye Olde English Pub - quintessentially charming and choke full of historic character. Strategically located just off the A38, the New Inn stands as yet another quaint jewel on the string of beautiful hills known as the Mendips - one of Somerset's many Areas of Natural Beauty (AoB). On this occasion, a gloriously sunny day, my daughter and I stopped by for some lunch. We were greeted warmly and personably by staff. We hadn't made a reservation, regardless, we were accommodated at a lovely bay windowed table. The menu, updated weekly, was an eclectic mix of meals all made with locally sourced ingredients. Our mains, lasagne and a revelationary vegetarian curry, were stellar. Our dessert, a very posh bread pudding was, in a word, sublime. We retired, with a couple of pints, to the rear garden and enjoyed the sites, the suds, and the sun. So, whether you're on route somewhere or you've chosen the Mendips as your destination, The New Inn is a great watering hole. With paths up into the hills and along the famous Strawberry Line, you're not short of things to do. Kids? They will love the play area out back. Just remember to book ahead, it can get busy on the weekends. If you haven't booked, don't let that put you off, head on over - they will gladly do their best to accommodate you. Here's hoping you enjoy your next outing there. Let me know when you do. 😊🤞👍👌

Lovely place for all the family. A big playground helps a lot especially if you have young kids. Food was delicious and very generous portions. I will definitely come back!!!

Had lunch at the New Inn today. Lovely welcome, quick service and the food was delicious. We had the chicken breast wrapped in bacon which was really good and I followed it with the chocolate brownie. Yummy!

Lovely food, very welcoming, and dog friendly too.

Staying locally and recommend here. Lots of choice for specials. Reasonable prices. Went back to try more but had staffing issues and was reservations only.

Always a good pub meal and the outside area is great in the summer

Me and my partner had lunch here lovely little place to eat great food, excellent service, friendly staff, really cosy too I would like to see more healthy options and vegan friendly on the menu, I would recommend this place and definitely come back here

I've been eating here here for years food is always really good

Great selection of ales, and friendly service, the food was really good.

Excellent food with a great environment around the pub. Amazing view from their garden.

Nice beer garden with children's play area. Good food. There is a nice dog walk just by the pub up a hill towards King's wood

Lovely pub food, little play area for the kids and nice helpful staff.

Big, spacious and family friendly. Very accommodating as we hadn't booked and they found a table. Bug beer garden and a children's play area with amazing views. Can't wait to go again.

We visited The New Inn on the 10th August 2023 and we thought it was AMAZING!

Superb food - ridiculously good! With service to match. You'd be crazy not to eat here.

Have eaten here a couple of times with the family, excellent service with very friendly staff. Food has always been tasty, fresh and the portions are very generous.

Fantastic roast. Great price and value for money. Staff freindly and attentive. Very impressed .

Really good food a little on the pricey side but you get what you pay for.

Excellent food with an ever changing specials menu.

Would have been 5 stars for food if they hadn't just sold out of my husband's choice! Good beer and wine, friendly staff. Some different main courses to the normal options.

Had a lovely meal here which was last minute on a Sunday. Alot of places around had already closed and had stopped serving food. Food was great and place was very welcoming and friendly! Lots of veg and vegan options

Nice pub with decent home cooked food

Food was again excellent though we hadn't booked the lady behind the bar told us to take a seat 🪑 and have a drink 🍻 after about 20 minutes she came over to us and very politely said I have a table upstairs for you and again she didn't disappoint us, excellent food and great service

Food is excellent freindy bar staff..

A friendly welcome, decent food at a reasonable price in a nice atmosphere.

Brilliant little place excellent food and great Value for money, really warm and welcoming staff and they made sure we had a great experience, The only thing that spoiled our experience was towards the end of our meal a family with very loud kids running around the dining area came in but this was out of the staff's control. But we very much enjoyed ourselves and would recommend to anyone thinking of stopping by :)

Nice pub at Cross. Lovely food and great seats overlooking valley.

What a lovely surprise, simply a wonderful country pub, the hostess was so welcoming and genuine, we both had hake and chips, which was a delight, crispy batter to die for and the home made chips were perfect. highly recommend

The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and efficient

Great pub to stop off at en route to Devon. Very good lunch menu with lots of choice. Speedy and tasty

Lovely country pub, with friendly staff, nice beer garden with lovely views (sun trap!) and top notch food! The kids (4 & 6yrs) loved the outside play area, it’s worth noting that they are quite a few steps up to the garden and it is quite steep on the grass play area. The food was lovely, freshly cooked and so tasty. Highly recommend the chicken breast with bacon, chive mash and Boursin cheesy sauce! The chips were also super tasty and were a bit like roast potato chips (stole some of the kids 😂). The car park isn’t very big but we managed to get parked ok on the road a little bit further down in the village. We will definitely visit again.
