The New Inn in Cotswold

Great service from a lovely front of house team, absolutely beautiful food. The burgers and the steaks are proper tasty - probably the best burger I've had in years!

Lovely Cotswold pub in quaint village. Great food and service. Highly recommended.

I had a 2night stay at The New Inn. It was amazing. Whole building is very nice. The room was spacious and unique,quite big, clean and very comfortable. The whole Inn staff was very friendly,polite and helpful. I’ve had breakfast and dinner at a restaurant,very tasty food and good value for money. I definitely recommend it and most likely will return again.

Amazing experience whilst staying at the New Inn and attending Cripps Barn’s Feast Night. Between Cripps and the Inn, they organised a free transfer service (via Rural Rides) to and from the venue which was great. The rooms are really nice, as is the breakfast in the morning. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Can recommend Room 10 — four poster style bed, with free-standing bath in the main bedroom. Lovely views out of the back of the Inn and across the fields. Didn’t find it too noisy as was located in the annex area of the Inn. Watch out for the noisy taps in the ensuite bathroom, and the shower that leaks a bit.

We stumbled on this pub on a trail. The staff was lovely. It was the perfect pit stop to put up our feet, have a few drinks and be on our way. We couldn't stay for dinner, but the truffle fries were so yummy!

Underwhelming Sunday lunch experience. Choice was pork loin or a la carte, so I opted for the pork. Four green beens, some cabbage and unyielding roast potatoes. All sat in a lake of cider gravy (very nice) and what I think was olive oil?...rather odd but I guess my palate is not refined enough. Staff surly, detracting further from the overall impression. Ah well, there will be other Sundays to try another pub.

Just enjoyed a fabulous meal at the New Inn. Sat outside in their delightful garden and ate a delicious and tasty meal. Washed down with some great beer and wonderful service throughout. Highly recommended!

Good place for a dinner, quick and easy service with friendly staff. Basic prepared table, tables also outside in a nice setting. Not very elaborate menu but well prepared and tasty dishes.

Great menu, good food, service was good

We stayed here for the one night. What a smashing place our room was fab great shower and comfy bed. We had food in the evening and couldn't fault it at all soo tasty and breakfast which was included was lovely too. Nice friendly staff.We would definitely return.

Had an amazing stay here, the garden room is lovely, food was fantastic and great service, beautiful location, we will be returning

We had lovely days at the New Inn, everyone was very polite and breakfast was great!

It’s been a few years since I last ate here and I’m delighted the menu has moved on from a predominantly burger-heavy menu. A perfect spot in a beautiful Cotswolds village that offer a fab range of food (including burgers of course) but also great service, all well-priced and thus great value. Ps this is a review for the pub, not the accommodation

Delicious burger, cosy fire, attentive staff. A perfect lunch.

We checked in to the Inn earlier in the day and excited to have dinner at the restaurant. Dinner and the service did not disappoint. We enjoyed the pan con tomatoe with ibérico and lamb croquette. The mains were the chicken sandwich and the smash burger, followed by the Guinness cake. The servers were fantastic, very attentive given the business of the restaurant. After dinner we enjoyed a few beverages in the locals bar, which was quite cozy and empty, unlike earlier in the evening.

This place its awesome nice location and good prices .

Casual gastro pub, nice vibe and decent food. But we were rushed and hurried to leave from the minute we sat down at our table as a larger group had a booking at 7pm, even though we had a reservation. The food came exceptionally quick and at every opportunity we were told we had to leave by 7pm, we were told this throughout the meal, at least 5 times! It made us feel very uncomfortable and ruined the meal/experience. We even over heard one of the members of staff telling another member of staff that they noticed we had been ‘harassed’ to leave. I would not return because of this.

Brilliant find in the centre of the Cotswolds. Cool pub with heaps of character. Staff great and food delicious. Cracking burger menu with the plenty of options for the smalls. Double smashed patty was 👌🏻

We came here on the Easter weekend for lunch. The food was mediocre and the service was very slow. The burrata and leek starter was tasteless and would not recommend. Staff seemed very sweet, but new, and would forget the basics such as; new cutlery between courses, a request for condiments and offering a glass of ice with bottled water. Quite disappointed by the visit given the reviews and unlikely to recommend.

Re-visited this pub after 2 years and it's been taken over, completely new menu which I did'nt care for so did'nt eat. Last time we went it was packed, this time half empty. No atmosphere at all.

Really nice food and ambiance. Great staff

A gorgeous property with friendly, helpful staff. The breakfast was great and Layja (sorry about the spelling) was very accommodating with dietary requirements.

Initially very enthusiastic but as time went on we started to cool. The food was delicious but the menu was very limited. Car parking is also limited and there is no reserved parking for guests. Given parking space is a premium in the village this makes the problem even worse. The room was comfortable but the shower mixer valve did not work so water was very very hot and not possible to use it. When paying a premium price for a stay one expects these things to work. The building is quaint and the atmosphere nice but, for the price, must do better.

Absolutely great stay at the New inn - locals bar cosy and staff so friendly. Breakfast with room booking had great selection and set you up for a lovely long walk in the Cotswolds. Restaurant food also fantastic - we tried their special chicken burger and fish and bar snacks, all 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾. Room itself was spacious, with pod coffee and refilled daily and shower/bath pressure was great, couldn’t ask for a better stay. Thanks Team New inn, we’ll be seeing you again!

Lovely pub hotel, rooms comfortable and breakfast delicious. Have already booked my next stay!

friendly and knowledgeable staff in a warm and welcoming local venue

Beautiful place . We booked last minute for New Year's eve and New Year's Day. Room was gorgeous and lovely server for dinner on New Year's eve but was slightly chaotic. Most disappointing was the way the manager Julia behaved towards her customers. We had a snack and drinks New Year's day which a lovely young lady served us with. My partner paid by card no issue. He fancied another pint later which we paid cash for. At this point Julia seemed to be flapping and checking the payments. Four of them behind the bar all checking if we had paid previously, very embarrassing and when they found the receipt no apology from Julia. She was totally inept on every contact we had with her, brought breakfast no spoon. No warmth I am afraid and she spoilt a lovely little break.Overall hotel was superb but she left a nasty taste in my mouth and would not want her on my team if I wanted to keep happy visitors .

Over the last few years we have always stopped at the New Inn for lunch after a dog walk. On this occasion we were disappointed to learn that the famous Cheney’s burger was no longer on the menu. The substitute was alas not in the same league. It was ok but why change such a winning formula!

Amazing two night stay .rooms lovely .food great . Especially full breakfast .cleaning staff were amazing . Loved our stay . We stayed as family wedding at crisps barn

Wow! What can I say, the Sunday roast was to die for, I also felt it was necessary to order a side of truffle fries to try as I’d heard such wonderful things and they did not disappoint! Staff were attentive and professional as well as accommodating to such a young family. There was a fantastic selection of drinks to suit all which could be enjoyed inside or out, in the spacious beer garden. I would recommend booking a table if you plan to eat, it gets quite busy over the weekend by the looks of things and you don’t want to be disappointed or miss out on the most incredible food! Will definitely be back!

Only three items on the mains menu, no specials menu. Some of the food was cold. We were very disappointed. Will not book again.

My family of 5 called in last night for drinks and food. My granddaughter and Daughter chose the Chicken Burgers. It was the worst experience of food ever. They were supposed to be Crispy Chicken Burgers. The chicken was awful......it was chicken thigh with skin on and even the sinew of the meat. When broke apart the meat was grey. You could not possibly bite into this on a bun. It was sickly to look at. My son in law had the beef shack..when we returned to our holiday home he spent the evening on the toilet. The waitress asked how the food was to which I replied Rubbish. She said she would speak to the Manager but he did not show so we left really disappointed. .

Nous nous sommes arrêtés parce que tous les restos autour de Bibury étaient plein. Bonne surprise. Le personnel est très attentif et rapide. On nous a proposé de nous mettre dans un petit salon tout mignon. Très cosy. Les burgers sont très goûteux, la viande est moelleuse, les sauces très bonnes. Une bonne expérience de pub.

We had walked along the river to Bibury. That place was packed so we walked back and had lunch at the New Inn. Lovely welcome, good beer recommendations and very nice food from the separate burger menu. Great atmosphere and all the staff seemed to be part of a good team and were happy to be working there.

Lovely walk along The Coln from Bibury, in a quiet village. Beautiful gardens with heaters. We enjoyed the specials burger and fries served from 5pm.

We ate here to celebrate my husbands birthday. Five adults early evening. The dining area wasn’t particularly busy and the manager who greeted us when we arrived was courteous and professional. Once seated our waitress was dismissive and almost rude. We felt like she couldn’t wait for us to leave and after our main course asked ‘do you guys want anything else?’ When we asked for desserts she returned saying she couldn’t find the menus but there was sticky toffee pudding and an ice cream sandwich available. We asked another waitress for our bill and as we left on the way out we overheard another table being offered a choice of several desserts not just the three we were told were available. Really disappointing visit especially as it had been recommended to us.

This pub is in a lovely location. The menu is mainly burgers but they are so good! Really enjoyed it and would recommend.

We walked here from our Air BNB in Fairford as we had been told the burgers were fantastic and that they were. Nicely cooked and very juicy, lovely little country pub.

How long do you have after Covid to get your act together? I don’t doubt for a minute that all restaurants have got new ways of dealing with it all that would take anyone ages to get it fired up and smooth. New staff and new protocols must be a nightmare but I actually think front of house was being led by someone who’s a little eccentric to start with. Fun and friendly but a bit of a lovely mess. Food was a solid 4 stars. If I’m being mean it’s elevated pub grub, not a gastronomic wonder. E.g. monkfish tempura was delicious but the tortilla wrap it’s served in was a bit stodgy, gooseberry and lemon tart with super sharp lemon sorbet excellent but the elderflower tempura tasted too much like courgette (oil a bit “used” or probably just needed some sugar encrusted onto the batter - might have made it look like 5* food as well as taste better). Maybe all this will improve as lockdown eases, so do go, and have fun with trying to guess why the burger is called Chesney Hawkes

Wanting to have lunch on the way home (almost 2 hours away), I saw the sign for The New Inn as we passed through Bibury. The menu was really interesting and I stuggled to choose but settled on the burger because the menu stated that they are cooked medium rare by default (which is always a good sign of quality). I was not diappointed. My vegetarian friend had the mushroom burger plus fries which he also enjoyed. Service was great. So friendly and the lad who served us most was brilliant. We both said almost at the same time that The New Inn isn't too far away for a day trip. That's how good it was.

Fist time here but frequent the Sister venue, The Stump quite often. Had THE MOST amazing burgers, starter of buttermilk fried chicken, pan con tomato and some superb olives, even better than The Stumps, burgers to die for. This coupled with a great atmosphere, pleasant...

I didn’t know that a burger could taste that good. I’m writing this review from inside the pub as the burger I just ate left me in dire need of an emotional outlet. Covid has banned me from singing indoors so this review, my first...

Excellent and delicious burgers, lovely atmosphere. We went for a lovely walk to Bibury and back from here too.

We were staying at the cottage next door so popped in for a drink at the beer garden. The staff and general service overall was excellent and the beer first class. The beer garden is in a lovely setting and having witnessed the food and...

Lovely room and food. Only criticisms were that the staff weren’t wearing masks and there was no door on the bathroom!

We popped in here a few times while on holiday, twice for a drink in their lovely beer garden and once, on our final evening, for a meal. Staff all lovely and friendly and when just drinking, orders were super fast. On the night we...

lovely rooms, great food and great atmosphere in the pub. Made to feel welcome by the locals and all of the staff. will definitely be returning!!

This pub has a very good reputation locally so we gave it a try. It was Valentine’s Day so there was a special menu, and no specials. The menu was very limited, ok if you were a vegetarian or vegan but disappointing for meat eaters....

Delicious food and excellent service. We were directed here from where we were staying a short walk away. Great restaurant with awesome service from Gabi. Will be back one day!

My partner and I had dinner here with our dog whilst on holiday. The place is quite nice and we were welcomed by lovely staff (very helpful and kind). The music on the background was pleasant to listen to. We had a starter (cured meat...

Not good. It was a Thursday dinner for 2 and I assume the B team were in charge. Menu is good but the chef must have been on holiday. Service was terrible. I could go on and on, so many things. Simple example. I was...

En voyage dans les costwolds, nous avons séjourné dans ce petit village où il y avait ce très bon restaurant....

First time been to this pub and my wife booked for my birthday. Ordered drinks at the bar and tried to put on tab but informed don’t do tabs even if eating in restaurant Small menu but food good, I had brucetta which wasn’t anything...

A pranzo in occasione di un viaggio ho scoperto questo ottimo ristorantino. I piatti gustati erano tutti di ottima fattura...

I stumbled along this pub and decided to have lunch. Sadly the staff were really disorganised which let the first part down, then when i looked at the menu there was one option for veggies im used to being limited at timea but their option...

A veces te levantas en algún lugar lleno de buena voluntad y con ganas de probar su tarifa. Esta fue definitivamente una de esas ocasiones. Habiendo finalmente hecho la caminata circular de Coln a Bibury, tenía ganas de tener un lugar en el New Inn, algo que había estado pensando hacer por un tiempo (soy local). Como mi esposa había asegurado una mesa soleada afuera, estaba en el bar esperando por orden, algo que el tipo de la mesa cercana acababa de hacer. Por desgracia, ahí es donde intervino el comportamiento grosero del gerente de la casa.En una fuerte declaración a la camarera que recibió pedidos de los clientes, dejó en claro que no se tomarían más pedidos para mesas al aire libre. En la audiencia de sus clientes en espera, él le dijo que el pedido que acababa de tomar estaba bien, porque el cliente era un cliente habitual y se podía contar con que no desapareciera sin pagar. Pero ella no debería tomar más.Posiblemente estoy solo en ofenderme por la imputación de que todos los demás que esperaron fueron deshonestos, pero nunca volveré a visitar este establecimiento y alentaré a otros a que tampoco lo hagan.

Pasamos una velada muy agradable en este pub adorable. Valió la pena un viaje corto para cenar con una deliciosa cena de músculos y bistec a buen precio; De los cuales, ambos bajaron rápidamente. Un delicioso plato principal. El pudín de manzana y pera se desmoronó fue la guinda del pastel. Vino encantador, comida de amor, posada encantadora.

Not bad, quite compact bar. We were served by a pretty disinterested staff with coffee! I would not wabt to be served by her if it had been busy!

Estábamos caminando por el camino del Támesis en tramos cortos. Este pueblo tiene mini arroyos desde el Támesis a lo largo de su calle principal y es muy atractivo. Habíamos hecho la primera parte de nuestro paseo y era hora de almorzar. Esto había sido mencionado en nuestro libro Thames Path y está justo en el centro del pueblo.

Overpriced (small glass of prosecco £8 ), food very average and chicken tasted burnt, no sides of vegetables. Service charge added on bill which I feel should be my choice to give. Will not be returning and have cancelled a future booking.

Very quiet for a Saturday night not as busy as it has been when we have been before food was excellent but I do abject to paying extra for vegtibales when they are cheap as chips in the shops and not much choice as well but it was all well cooked and the Marathon pudding was to die for .

We had not been to this pub for a couple of years... but we will be back much more regularly now!! Really good menu, great atmosphere, top tier service and the food was well cooked. Really enjoyed it all...

Great food, wine and accommodation. Highly recommend. Dog friendly too.

Excellent food as always. Especially good venison with polenta.

Great quality food. Very enjoyable

The best meal I have had at the New Inn for many years if not ever. The new owners have developed a delicious and thoughtful menu and the service was impeccable.

Excellent food and service as always. They must have very good fish supplier as fish dishes always fine quality .. great place!

Fantastic Sunday roast. Couldn’t fault it one bit. Service and staff were excellent. More than I usually pay for a roast but would return and recommend.

Wow! A sunny day and everyone turns up at the pub....except the staff. One very hard working waitress did a great job but the service called for at least 3. Bloody Mary’s arrived about 30 minutes after being ordered but the food was capable and worth waiting for. Luckily the parties there got into the act and started buzzing their own dishes. Is this my first insight into the impact of Brexit? Where has all the staff gone?

Excellent food wine and service Would highly recommend this restaurant

we have been 4 times and on 3 occasions the food came out cold even the coffee was cold ,would not go again theres a lot better places around and a lot cheaper

Service was charming but very slow to order and really long wait between courses. Same as the last time we ate there. Great food and beer though

The food was good quality but served cool and with cold serving plates. Service charge added to bill 12.5%. Should be at our discretion. Service was good by our waitress.

The menu is OK, a bit limited, however the prices are exorbitant. We wouldn’t bother eating here again based purely on what they charge. On top of that they have the cheek to at 12.5% service charge to your bill. Talk about add insult to injury. No recommendation from us as they need to lift their game and lower their prices.

We went for lunch with friends, who were visiting the area for the first time, and we took a chance that the New Inn would be ideal. However, considering the price for the food, we were disappointed by the experience. The main lady in charge was really friendly and the price of the drinks was great but the food was a let down. The first course of whitebait with a spoonful of cocktail sauce did not look appetizing at all, and no garnish or small amount of bread. My main course of plaice swimming in butter and no vegetables, only samphire plonked on top was just about OK but the amount of butter made in somewhat unappetizing. No mention by the waitress that we should order sides of vegetables. The cheese burger was similar to a McDonalds and chips were poor. Perhaps because it was 1.00pm on Tuesday we didn't get the best chef.

We stopped for lunch on the last Sunday of summer when it was still warm enough to sit outside on the raised terrace area with generous tables and comfy wooden chairs. Devilled kidneys and twice-baked cheese souffle were wonderful. The roast beef looked threateningly red but was in fact tender and delicious and came with plenty of veg and great Yorkshire pud. Starter size mussels were ample for a light lunch. A good selection of wines by the glass and great service on a busy Sunday lunchtime made this a very pleasant experience.

Enjoyed dinner at the New Inn twice during a week’s holiday at a cottage in Coln St Aldwyns.

We called in for lunch last week, a sunny day so we sat outside and enjoyed a good local cider.

We stopped off for coffee as part of a walk. I asked if they were serving any cakes with the coffee. Unfortunately the kitchen was not open but the waitress very kindly offered me a bar of her own chocolate to satisfy my sweet tooth.

We’ve eaten in quite a few Cotswold country pubs and this is certainly up there as one of the best we’ve visited. The pub is beautiful as is the amazing location. The service and attention to their customers was fantastic. The price of drinks/food is a little more expensive then most in the area but to be honest is reflected the quality of the ingredients and well thought out menu. The only annoyance we found was the fact that a 12.5% service charge is automatically included on the bill for a table of two, this is normally included for large groups. Tips are supposed be optional and amount set by the customer. If a customer offers a tip, they are doing so in recognition of the establishments quality. We would of happily tipped anyway as this a fantastic pub well worth a return visit.

My daughter had chosen this pub from her local walk & pub guide. Having walked the dogs we enjoyed a two course lunch sitting outside. Very pleasant although a wasps nest in the vicinity meant there were a number of unwelcome visitors.

We hebben lekker gegeten in deze oude herberg. De maaltijd was eerder gewoon maar wel voor een goede prijs dus prij/kwaliteit zeker OK. Het restaurant is gelgen in een klein dorpje in een prachtige omgeving

Coped with allergy menu very well. Plenty of choice within the restrictions of dietary requirements

We had a lovely evening with tasty food. Will come back!

Beautiful surroundings, perfect service and outstanding quality food. We will definitely return.

Very slow service due to lack of staff. Waited over an hour for the first course. Overall took nearly 3 hours start to finish.

We came here as a last resort when other places were not serving. We were only looking for a snack lunch, but had a starter from the lunch time menu and this was great. Nice atmosphere, nice a cool in the pub when it was hot outside. Staff made us very welcome. Hope to come again for an evening meal.

De ligging van het hotel is prachtig, schitterend om te wandelen. Het hotel zelf heeft mooie smaakvolle kamers. Er zijn echter wel kleine mankementen die storend zijn. Een niet goed werkend toilet, een koude kraan die soms koud en soms warm water geeft, een tv die niet werkt, een bad zonder douche en er is nauwelijks ventilatie.

Food was ok if not overpriced. Worst part about the experience was the male on the bar, with blonde hair and glasses calling us buddy and guy? Where has good manners and professionalism gone? He acted as if we were his best friends and know him for a long time. His ability to pour a good pint was no existent.

I can not praise the New Inn highly enough!

A fantastic evening, staff extremely helpful and friendly

A wonderful dining experience! An interesting and varied menu and our choices were faultless!

Knus, gezellig, leuk personeel. In 1 woord genieten. Verschillende gedeeltes waar je kunt eten. Zien er allemaal gezellig uit. Relaxte sfeer. Het eten was heerlijk. Wij hebben genoten. Wel aan te raden om een tafel te reserveren. Het is niet super groot. Als het ineens druk wordt kan het zijn dat je moet wachten.

Had a lunch with 4 people as a sspur of the moment stop while travelling through the Cotswolds. Decent menu with good service and a lovely outdoor sitting area. All meals were high quality including a perfectly cooked medium rare steak.

Visited for dinner in the evening. A little difficult to get on the car park as locals in a Range Rover blocked the entrance in order to hold a conversation with friends. Very rude. However the setting is lovely and the staff very pleasant and attentive. The food was nice but not spectacular. The wine however seems to be a little overpriced for the quality.

A family get together and a bit of a treat on a Saturday night, The New Inn did not disappoint. Although we live in the next village, we have found it a bit hit and miss in the past but this was definitely a few notches up on our last experience. Food was excellent - lots of healthy choices and heaven for fish lovers which was most of us. Very good oysters, mussels, mackerel and Sole - veg were good and our daughter loved her steak - chips could have been cooked a couple more minutes but she seemed to have no trouble in putting them away! Also tried the gnudi (never had it before) and it was light and very delicious. Too full for puds. Wine reasonable and staff very attentive and knowledgable. Will definitely be back.

We last ate here in 2016 and we were impressed with the quality of the food this time. Lovely village and this pub is a great place to visit

Stunning B&B in a beautiful setting with fabulous restaurant and food. Lovely staff who are very accommodating providing a professional service. Our meals were delicious and steak served as ordered. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again in the future.

This restaurant was lovely, we stayed locally and had been in for a few drinks. The meal was lovely, very expensive and the food was good but was still hungry after having a 3 course meal. A lovely place. Firstly we had a little alcove to ourselves, window seat, was absolutely perfect. When it started getting busy, it got louder and therefore didn't feel as enjoyable.

This pub had it all. Great food, lovely setting and friendly efficient staff. Highly recommended.
