The New Inn in Huntingdonshire

Now reopened (Under new management?) with new furniture and a return to the quality and welcome of the past. When originally opened, the cafe offered a lovely "family feel" with excellent service and quality. The cafe had slumped badly in the quality of the experience in recent years, after a change of owners, and my previous visit had been quite unpleasant, so it was VERY refreshing to find a smiling welcome, rapid service and excellent coffee. The new tables are perhaps less rustic than the previous versions, which has lost a little of the atmosphere, but the cafe is scrupulously clean and retains the previous layout. The seating area is quite small and if you are planning to lunch there I would say that booking is essential. It does get very busy at times. The food is reasonably priced, though not "cheap" and the quality was excellent. Attention to detail has made a huge difference to the offering and it is clear that the bad memory of the past has been banished.

Nice food and atmosphere liked eating here

A great pub brilliantly run, quality food, friendly service

Fantastic beer and drink offering. Good value pub food, lovely staff and an excellent atmosphere.

Husband and I went for Sunday carvery. We precooked a table but believe we were seated at just an open table as the one that should have been ours had not been cleaned after prior use. No worries, it was just a table. We had said never been there before and asked what we do. Server said I will get your drinks, took the order and left us. After 15 minutes waiting for a pot of tea and soft drink, and server going past our table several times, we decided to go up to carvery as that was only option available for food that day. Stood in line and when got to carvery area the carver stuck out his hand and looked at me. I asked what I was to give him and he waved me toward the server area where our server was standing. I went over, passing the bar where our tea and soda was sitting waiting to be delivered. Asked about the carvery and he said, oh you need a ticket. Turned to computer and said.. how many? Really???? Got two tickets , went back to the line and got our food. We both got beef which was quite dry and lukewarm, as were the rest of the items. However, the gravy was very good and very hot so it saved the meal. Shortly after sitting down again the server showed up with drinks and asked if we needed anything. That was the last we saw him until we went back to server station to track him down to pay. By the way, it was no surprise that the tea water was cold. Needless to say, we won’t go back. Shame because there were some things on menu thought would be good to try during week.
