The New Inn in North Norfolk - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Guy serving in till didn't even look at you while ordering could barely be bothered to communicate. Food took forever and was wrong and very small portions. Tiny red cabbage cost £3 (see photo) Do not recommend

The New Inn rescued us at short notice when the Swan let us down on a booking. So 16 people were suddenly accommodated. We had excellent service and food. I’d highly recommended them. Excellent value for money. Friendly, helpful staff.

Nice garden, nice staff outside, total chaos going on inside. Lovely menu, but no one apparently who can cook. The food was awful to the point of being inedible, and the award winning pie would not have been winning anything at all if it was served to judges as it was served to us. We left and had to go over the road to the deli as were starving.

My wife's gammon, egg chips were fine. I had the homemade pie and veg and was a little disappointed. The pastry on the pie was hard and the veg was enough to feed a very young child. My coffee came in a paper cup and wasn't offered any napkins, so all in all a little disappointing meal for me although the wife enjoyed her gammon and glass of wine with it.

Excellent service and lovely food. A real find in a stunning village. Thank you for your service, food and deal on TripAdvisor. Lovely outside and inside area to eat and chat.

Great pub just a short walk from moorings at Ferry Marina. Has a lovely out side space for drinking and dining. Great food and service.

We were exploring the Broads for the day and decided to moor up at the New Inn for lunch. A member of staff helped us to moor the boat and there were plenty of spaces available to eat outside. We chose to order at the bar as we are quite fussy and wanted to make sure that our requests could be accommodated. Staff were great, very efficient and attentive. Food arrived quite quickly and was so good we had seconds. Reasonable priced for "pub" food and will definitely go back.

We visited on a Friday evening at around 5pm. The pub looks very nice outside and has a nice view of the river, with many boats moored up. But inside the pub it is very dated and the food itself was ok, but nothing special. Portions were small for the price. However the main problem we had was the rude Bar Lady that served my partner. Where I had ordered our food from the bar, where we had a child and so ordered a Kids meal that included a dessert. But at the time of ordering the starter and mains, the barman said we could order the dessert later, as we had not looked at the desserts yet. This is something that we always try to do, as it ensures our daughter’s dessert arrives at the same time as ours and avoids any issues. But after we had our mains, my partner went to order to dessert for our daughter and also desserts for ourselves. But the bar lady started shouting at my partner and telling her that we should have ordered the kids dessert at the same time as the mains. But also that it was our fault and that we would be messing up their tills if we tried to order a dessert and then demanding that my partner told her who had taken the original order. Completely unacceptable service, it was an error by the earlier barman and we were made to feel guilt for your staff not knowing the process

Making an effort, certainly, but they have turned the lovely waterside garden into a theme park. Money spent on decent moorings and furniture, but it’s completely without any soul, and out of place in both Broadland and Horning. Menu seemed to burger-tastic plus a few other things. Pub is scruffy, hence the emphasis on the outside. I’m sure some folk will think it’s great, but it’s not what you want in such a nice spot. What a shame.

This pub is perfect to meet up with friends and/or family. A relaxing atmosphere, complete with the new addition of some smart seating on the balcony area! The staff are amazing and go above and beyond to make our visits special. The food is always excellent and the environment spotless. They always give us a warm welcome and an exceptional welcome for our dog :)

Having been turned away from another nearby pub because we were too many and had a blind person with us, we were greeted here in a lovely manner and had a superb lunch and drinks in a glorious location - the sun was out so that added to the charm as we sat outside. Contrary to the other pub's capabilities we all had our meals served together and the food was super. We cant thank them enough.

Lovely place to moor overnight with very friendly staff and excellent and quick communication to my messages. Unfortunately we did not manage to eat as we had a poorly dog that we didn’t want to take in polite company but already planning our return next year.

Nice pub in good location next to the water. Friendly staff. Tasty food, reasonably priced. Plenty of outdoor seating if you are lucky with the weather.

Visted on a sunny day and enjoyed drinks in the garden with friends. Lovely view and welcoming team. I will be visiting again to try the ronaldos ice cream

Had the award winning steak pie and quite frankly worst pie I’ve had. Dry, rock solid lid, hardly any filling chips were great and gravy but love a pie and if that win an award I doubt it. £16 ! Very disappointing!

Moored at the New Inn £15 without electric and no water so not cheap but convenient. All staff super friendly and service was good, the food was ok, not spectacular and the steak was disappointing. I would visit again!

We visited as a group of 8 and had both lunch and dinner over a weekend. The food was amazing but our experience was made extra special by Bev who was both friendly and funny, would definitely recommend The New Inn if only to meet Bev 😊

Whilst crusing on the Norfolk Broads my wife and I moored up one evening at the pub, at the same time experiencing some problem with our engine. The Landlord was aware of this and could not of been more perceptive and supportive. Together with that after eating a very welcomed tasty and hot meal he himself had a temporary technical fault which he managed brilliantly. Yes location is gorgeous being on the river and the food was good but the staff service and his manner and people skills are 5 star. I highly recommend this pub.

Always great service from Steve, Laura and the team. Great value food and drinks, with a lovely friendly atmosphere. Been coming here a couple of years now and never disappoints.

We’re in Horning for the week with our two little dogs, one very nervous and reactive so we are wary of where we go. We went to the New Inn years ago when it seemed to need a bit of TLC but decided to go and give it a visit. Well what a transformation, it was so cosy and friendly, our dogs were welcomed with dog treats and dog blankets to use. The lovely lady behind the bar came to fuss them even tho she was sadly barked at a little bit. Ours being spoilt made it such a great visit. We went again last night and had dinner while sitting looking out onto the river and passing boats. It was amazing. I had the fish tagliatelle which was wonderful and hubby had the gammon. We could fault the service or the food and all the prices are really reasonable. We’ll be going again.

We have just eaten a delicious 3 course meal from the Mothers' Day menu. Our daughter is vegan and was very impressed with the dishes she had; vegan falafel starter, vegan tortelloni, sticky toffee pud with dairy free ice cream. My husband had fish and chips and my son and I had steak and venison pie with veg. Our other puds were fruit crumble, s'mores brownie and signiture sticky toffee pudding with Baileys. All fabulous. We could not fault a thing. It was all piping hot and full of flavour. All the staff were professional and friendly. Bev stood out as very personable and nothing was too much trouble for her. Although the pub was busy we did not wait very long to place our orders or to get our food.

True Little diamond . When others near by are empty, follow the locals and the crowd. Lovely lunch . Great Value and taste and great price and atmosphere.

Walked in at 3.30pm today no one at bar waited , still no service, walked out.Third time this has happened, need attentive staff!

Moored here overnight Tuesday and Thursday £15 per night but there is free electricity and great help from Sean mooring us up. Such a great friendly team Lunch both days - lasagne, garlic bread and a salad to die for - even my hubby ate all his salad and he doesn't usually like it Will be back for sure

Visited recently, absolutely loved it!! The staff were very welcoming and attentive, joined in on the weekly Thursday quiz; highly recommend. We had such a great time, all the food was amazing the steak was spot on! The fish and chips was gorgeous. Such a lovely pub to go to whether that's for food or just drinks, they'll take care of you.

Very friendly pub, Landlord and staff really welcoming - our Bull Terrier Bluebelle made a proper fuss of with treats and a dog bed. Didn't eat but pub was busy with a steady stream of diners. Would recommend and will visit again

We took a group of twenty children and adults for a sunday lunch. Our group size was a bit big for the room, 16 would have fit perfectly but 20 was a bit of a squeeze. The staff were wonderful and did everything for us. The food was great, we had a variety of roasts, kids menu items and desserts. Drinks were also very good. We had pre-ordered and there were no errors there too. Would definately recommend these guys and will come back again in the future! x

The food was delicious (one of the best steaks I've ever had!) and the staff were very friendly. Will definitely be going back again

Had a lovely evening meal out with the family. Food was lovely and staff were very friendly. Thank you all for a lovely evening

The atmosphere was phenomenal! I came here with my Husband last week and the food was incredible! I had the Fish and chips because what is not more fitting when visiting a broadside pub than the fish and chips! My husband had the steak and venison pie and was blown away by the fantastic taste of the pie, the enticing aroma of the pie and the presentation was perfect. We will most definitely be returning, I would well and truly recommend this pub to anyone who is looking to have a truly mind changing experience. I have owned pubs and restaurants and having come from the hospitality industry myself I can tell that the staff must all be highly trained as they create an experience that truly transcends and exceeds all! Never have I been greeted by such an incredible team and been looked after in all my years of eating out and I've been going to restaurants weekly now for the last 45 years! The Valentine's day booking is already in and this has definitely become our new local pub only having moved to the area recently in our retirement! A truly big thank you to all the staff both front of house and back of house! The New Inn you are truly amazing!

Such a great pub with a lovely welcoming atmosphere. The staff are always friendly and very helpful. Laura is especially amazing, and her weekly bingo and quiz nights have definitely helped get through the dark, cold evenings :). If you haven't been to one yet, you must! The food is great, with a good choice on the menu. I'm counting the days down until we can all enjoy the sunshine again in their lovely garden backing onto the river...... Thank you to all at The New Inn.

This is a great pub perfect for holiday parties , really good prices and look after you very well. Food was hot and very tasty as well

Super atmosphere and excellent food. Highly recommend anyone looking to take the family out for dinner in a lovely setting

Stopped while out on the boat a very good reception from all the staff. Food good on point. And a lovely pub to have a local drink in will definitely be stopping again on my days out

The New Inn in Horning exceeded all expectations, delivering a five-star dining experience. From the moment we stepped inside, the warm ambiance set the stage for an exceptional evening. The attentive staff provided impeccable service, ensuring our comfort throughout the meal.

Lovely atmosphere, the staff were very welcoming and accommodating, especially ellie and kia, definitely recommend for a family meal

I love this pub. Service is always friendly and helpful. Very clean and welcoming. The food is excellent and fresh. Nothing is too much for the staff. Highly recommend a visit to The New Inn when in Horning!

Very friendly staff, lovely food and even a free game of bingo, as a family of eight we berthed here for the night and spent an enjoyable evening on the waters edge. Would highly recommend a visit here

Bad service , good food eventually waited so long approximately 1 and a half hours for our Sunday roast. Have been here many times but today disappointed.

Worst roast I’ve ever had! The roast beef was more like a doner kebab and out of a microwave! Although can’t fault the location so I would recommend for a drink only.

Just visited the new inn great service lovely food reasonable priced friendly staff dog friendly menu lovely spot Very clean and tidy Visited with my family this morning

We arrived on a day hire boat and to our great relief there was a member of staff on hand to help us moor up!! We were welcomed into the pub and shown to a table. We ordered a light lunch of sandwich and chips...

The food was really good, but the service was terrible. The chap who served us tried to tell me that one of the options for the vegetarian burgers was a chicken burger! Then he asked if we wanted the starters to be served before the...

Varied lunch menu, chicken & bacon pie was delicious, salad with charred chicken also a hit with hubby. Quick and friendly service. Good price in comparison for area . would return

lovely setting for drinks but food was dispointing. We returned after having a lovely time 4 years previously but this visit was below average. Such a shame.

Sunday roast very poor for price. Frozen roast potatoes, powdered mash, nothing like the online menu

As usual this place never fails to please. Great food, great selection of drinks. Staff are really friendly and they even have an official DOG ONLY MENU.

Great service have gluten and a meat allergy in the group and made sure the kitchen was aware not once but twice food is very good too

So impressed with the meals we received here whilst on holiday family of 10 with kids , quick and efficient kids meals were a good size and price really pleased will definitely go again when back in Norfolk as we have our own boat moored...

Arrived early doors to find most tables reserved. Would have been ideal to know what time from but instead we opted for a high bar table which was fine. Nice wine, ale & very dog friendly everywhere which is unusual. Had an early evening meal...

Really enjoyed our meal at the new inn, service was great, food was lovely and great value for money.

I wasn’t to sure about eating here due to mixed reviews and having spent a few years visiting the New Inn I thought we would try it.Late lunch .A warm welcome by the girls was a good start.Yes Sunday is a limited menu but I guess once things open up a bit more it may improve.That said the three of us had the roast beef, which was lovely and pink and two large thick slices, tasty carrots with broccoli. The roast potatoes had a nice flavour and were soft and fluffy inside. A nice touch was the cauliflower cheese was served in separate bowls and also nice (not sloppy). A good sized Yorkshire pudding completed this lovely meal.The one and only improvement is that it could have been hotter.We were asked numerous times how our meal was by very attentive and friendly young staff.Thank you all.

We started our first Summer Sunday outing on May 9th 2021 and returned to the New Inn at Horning, one of previous best places.The staff were all very friendly and that makes a difference to us. The menu on the Sunday was very limited but we chose a roast each, but by the time it was delivered to us it was just warm and at the price at £15.00 each we find is very much over inflated, however the girls had worked very hard and when it was time to pay, I said to the staff girl WE ALWAYS LEAVE A TIP for the staff as they make the day and I gave it to her and she put it in the jar on the bar. I then proceeded to pay and I asked to look at the bill, which I couldn't read being so dark in the till area I asked her to read it out to me, which she did and I presented my card, and took the bill away. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes there was 10% .SERVICE CHARGE ADDED. Firstly I was astonished to find that they had added a service charge without asking me if I was satisfied and secondly why did the staff girl not tell me that there was already 10% added when I gave her a tip, or tell me about it when she read out the bill to me, this is just NOT ON. it has never happened before.Has this place been taken over? if so this is not the way to carry on. I can see customers not returning because of there being A SERVICE CHARGE OF 10% BEING ADDED. A BIG MISTAKE in my opinion and the lack of choice on the menu.Last Summer we enjoyed the music of TERRY ADAMS guitar vocalist, is he booked to return, if so he may just save the day for the new owners.

The waiter had no idea what the vegan burger was made of (i.e. meat substitute, bean or seitan etc) and was quite blunt when I asked as if he was irritated by the question. As he couldn't tell us what they were made of we ordered 2 veggie burgers instead...but received 2 vegan burgers with no coleslaw. When I queried this we were told it's because they didn't have vegan mayo. I told the waiter it was veggie burgers we ordered, not vegan burgers and he replied that veggie and vegan were the same!? He was rude and abrupt, no apology at all. The setting was beautiful and the waitress was lovely, but based on the waiter and this particular meal, I'm not sure we'd return.

Food was amazing can’t fault, the girls working where brilliant, drink and food come out quickly unfortunately the guy with hand tattoos was rude blunt and the worst customer service I’ve ever seen walking around like he owns the place, think he needs to taught the menu and how to treat to customers

Starters expensive although food OK. No regular menu as it was a Sunday, so we chose a different roast each. The pork was bland and tasted processed, not like really carved. The beef was good. Roast potatoes had barely seen the inside of an oven, almost fresh out the pan. Cauli cheese a mushy mess, no sense of there being any cauli in it. To top it all, our choices of dessert were unavailable. We chose chocolate fudge cake and they tried to palm us off with a a slice of Swiss roll! All in all, very disappointed, although the service was good and staff were nice. Methinks they need a better chef.

Inflated prices on meals and drinks. Keep away from side orders.. £3.50 for ONE slice of cheesy garlic bread utterly criminal. Drinks increased massively .. in fact eat at home it’s miles cheaper. I won’t be returning again

went there yesterday with my hubby, we both enjoyed our meals they were delicious. meals and drinks were reasonably the young girl who served us was very polite and the service was spot on. we will definitely be back

My hoomans said that both the beef and the pork were absolutely delicious which is a pity because they didn’t leave me very much...Excellent venue for four legged visitors and a great spot to watch the boats. Loads of room between tables and very friendly, helpful staff.We’ve been before and we’ll return!

First visit for a meal since reopening and was really impressed. Service was good, food excellent and one of the best pints of Ghost Ship that I’ve had. Look forward to full opening and normal hours

In this strange time we experienced really fantastic service, superb food and with great company made for a wonderful evening. Despite items unavailable the staff coped admirably.

Me and my mum have been here before so decided to come back, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was very good and we really enjoyed it! Thank you!

I visited on Sunday just gone having seen the New inns post of their Sunday lunch menu. The photos looked so good, I couldn't resist going and I wasn't disappointed I had the roast beef and it was tender and full of flavour. The roast potatoes were crispy and fluffy and the carrots were cooked to perfection. I didn't have the cauliflower cheese as I can't eat cheese, but it looked lovely. The gravy was yummy and piping hot. I had chocolate fudge cake for pud,(why not, it was the first trip out!) It was moist and delicious with cream and ice cream, the perfect pud. Covid wise, everything was as it should be. Well spaced tables outside with a variety of table sizes so no one felt awkward at sitting on a big table. The staff have clearly thought things through and spent a lot of time getting this Broadside pub ready for the season ahead. The menu was small when we went, but the food is cooked exceptionally well. The staff are keen and clearly well trained. No slouching and standing about. They clearly take pride in their work and the pub and it shows. I'll be heading back as it also gives a beautiful view of the river, and seeing the boats moored up for the night and chatter of families on holiday was just what was needed after a year of lockdown. Laura, Jen and the rest of the New inn team are doing a cracking job. This wasn't just my opinion, I over heard other customers saying similar. I didn't take pictures of the beef, as I was too busy eating it, but remembered to take one of the pudding. We stayed on til evening as it was so lovely to be out and by the river.

Lovely steak burger with trimmings and a couple of pints of ghost ship. Well done to all the staff for getting this great little pub up and running again and welcome to the new chef.

I have thought long and hard before writing this review as I don’t like negativity but there really are no positive points about this establishment, I’ve read other reviews that are negative and the response from the manager is just a generic response starting as “we are sorry this was not up to our usual high standards” FACT you don’t have any high standards.This is positively the worst meal and experience we have ever encountered in any pub/restaurant.The place felt dirty with the tables all sticky, they obviously weren’t cleaned since the last diners.All of our meals either came out cold or overdone like the steaks which were both over done and cold.The blonde girl in the long grey cardigan was extremely rude when we mentioned our food was substandard and she forgot to bring our drinks our 2 times, we had to get another member of staff to fetch them.We are really disappointed with the state of the New Inn as we loved coming here, it’s obvious that the new owners don’t care about quality, locals or hygiene and are just concerned in profiting off the holiday makers with poor low quality food and drinks.Like other reviews I have read we will not be returning.

Have seen some harsh reviews over last few weeks, but feel this is a good pub that is trying hard. We have been for just drinks three times and eaten three times over the last 5 weeks and can honestly say I can find nothing to complain about. The staff are young, but keen and do a good job. Beers, Ghost ship and Timothy tailors have been excellent. Food is standard pub stuff but good. All has been COVID secure. I have not experienced any of the issues mentioned and would recommend.

This has always been a favourite port of call either by road or river, the food and atmosphere was previously excellent. Our last visit was last week. We accept that the menu was restricted by the covid restrictions. We ordered chicken and bacon sandwiches with sides of chips and a portion of blue cheese sauce. The chicken was in great lumps and quite dry and we couldn't find the bacon. They forgot the blue cheese sauce and when it did arrive it was pale brown , very liquid consistency and tasteless. My sausages , mash and onion gravy was minus onions and minus flavour! All in all a disaster. That was our last visit to the New Inn at Horning.

After having a lovely few days away on the Norfolk Broads we decided to dine at the New Inn at Horning, When entering the restaurant area we were rudely shouted at by a blonde girl for accidentally entering through the wrong door, this was my fault but my eyesight is not the best and I just missed the sight.. When our meals arrived they were cold and of very poor quality, we had sausage and mash, the sausages were dry and over cooked and the chicken burger was not fit for consumption. We left with a large bill for rubbish food. I do not recommend this place at all..

Title- Not a very nice pubVisited early October whilst on a boat with my family.The mooring was crazy with no one looking after booked moorings. Boats were crashing into each other and no one at the pub seemed bothered.We ordered our drinks and 30mins later they hadn’t arrived so I asked a member of staff where they were and very rudely got told they had forgotten them with no apology.We ordered our food which was very expensive and poor quality, the portions were small and the gammon didn’t even come with egg or pineapple.We left very disappointed and will not be returning to this disgusting establishment.

We have been visiting the new inn in horning for many years and I’ve always had great food and a lovely atmosphere, although latterly the landlady Hasn’t been the friendliest. So we were pleased to hear that the place had been taken on by new people and booked two nights moorings and meals and were excited to visit. On arrival the young boy that helped with this moring was very polite and tried to be as helpful as He could but luckily my husband is experienced at boating and ended up helping him as it was very windy. As we got off the stern of the boat I noticed how damage the moorings were and how things have changed since the last time we were here a few months ago, there was a noticeboard upside down with 4 nails sticking out,luckily I noticed it and turned it back over else goodness knows what would’ve happened to my poor dogs paws. On our first meal we arrived and had booked a table for six which was accommodated after a little bit of shuffling around, the drinks selection had gone downhill and there was no local beer and a limited wine menu, the one exception that was very very good was the sourdough and camembert sharing starter (absolutely fantastic) unfortunately everything else wasDisappointing. The one good thing about mooring at the new inn is the location and it is sad to see that it is been left to go downhill, we had a conversation with some local people and they were worried about the state of some of the places that are open for hospitality and that if they carried on giving poor quality service and products that they would not be open For much longer, especially in the current climate.We arrived again a few days later as we had already booked moorings and a meal and again the food was definitely below average.On a positive note the young staff were generally very friendly, so thanks to them, but I did feel that there was no one managing them and whoever is the head chef in the kitchen definitely needs to up their game, I understand it is very hard in the hospitality industry at the moment as I work in that industry myself which makes me even more determined to give a better service and to encourage people to come back. Giving good quality service is paramount and even though most of your clients are only (Holidaymakers) most of us come back year after year after and more than once and unfortunately we will not be returning to the new inn any time soon.

Visited with friends in Oct 20, we came to moor the boat up and my wife fell on the broken moorings, with loose paving slabs which were 6” sticking up, she twisting her ankle badly, we informed the young lad who was trying to moor boats up but to be honest did not have a clue and wasn’t concerned, the moorings are blatantly dangerous and should be closed!!We then went for a meal which to say the least was the worst meal we have ever had on the Broads, the rib eye steaks were chewy and really just a piece of fat and gristle, the chicken curry was just full of veg with 2 pieces of chicken in it, we were not asked once if our meal was ok..Later on that night the 3 ppl of our group who had had the chicken curry were all ill, this was the only think they had eaten all day and it was not a subject of drinking either as they were children.This place has gone down hill so dramatically we were told it’s effecting the community/residents in Horning who were once regulars in here.They have stopped serving local Ales and there is no atmosphere at all.Such a shame as this used to be a favourite for us and many of our friends.

We picked up our boat from Wroxham and because of the nights drawing in we had booked a mooring and table at the New Inn for the first night as it is about 1 hour from the boat yard.Mooring was easy and getting into the pub was super easy. We sat down and ordered. Food was delivered to the table in a good time and all of our meals were fantastic.We have booked a table and mooring for our last night also now.....

We booked here as wanted to moor at Horning for the night, so we had a meal for 4, food was terrible. Three of us had chicken tikka, hardly any chicken in it, should of been called a veg curry, and nan bread was poor was like a supermarket one, and rice was full of water. My daughter had sausage and mash, and said the mash was lumpy, and hardly any gravy, and the sausages were burnt. Also where we moored, the paving slabs are all loose, it’s very dangerous, accident waiting to happen!!!!

We visited whilst on a boating holiday. Free mooring if eating on an evening...great, we were wanting to eat anyway.Booked our table for 5.30pm, had drinks in the afternoon before returning for 5.30pm.On being shown to the table at 5.30pm we were told they double book tables and ours was booked from 7pm. If we'd known we'd have booked for 5pm. Really fancied a relaxed 3 courses and bottle of wine, but in the hour and a half we had our table could only do a main course.Food and service really good, just really disappointed to have to be out by 7pm without prior notice (we'd have even stayed for the quiz if we'd known that's why our table was booked!) as it was, we ended up going to the other pub down the road for pudding and more wine.

Service was pleasant. Steak cooked as asked however was spoilt by the amount of salt. I had duck, which portion size wouldn’t have fed a child, this too was so salty it was hard to eat. Disappointed so didn’t bother with dessert. Pricey. The menu was very choice limited so struggled.
