The new inn in North Somerset

Spotting the pub on our way in to Kewstoke for a short break, the sign outside said Food Served Daily. But on going in we were told they didn't serve food. Very disappointing as we then had to go into Weston. In actual fact the New Inn seemed like a men's drinking pub and looked a bit depressing.

fabulous local pub, great atmosphere and very nice landlord. Busy little place on a weekend and people are very friendly and helpful

We dropped into the new inn and had a lovely afternoon. A nice selection of drinks and a lovely warm welcome to this lovely village pub. We would head back if we are in the area again.

We were staying locally for a few days and popped across the street to this gem of a pub. I love the decor and there’s a fantastic wood burning fire blazing in the grate. Kept us toasty in the chilly rainy evening. Minty the landlord is great and keeps the place clean and welcoming. They don’t serve food but you can have a take away delivered there. Minty provides you with plates and cutlery and does the clean up afterwards. We visited twice whilst staying in the area (fabulous B&B directly across the street) and had a take away (Indian) both times. Great place to spend the evening with friends, really good music and Minty hosts a quiz night and Karaoke night there. If in Kew Stoke, you really should pop in for a pint (or other libation).

Had the most amazing evening here. Beautiful log fire, Minty the landlord was brilliant, such fun. We drank and danced to the jukebox all evening. The bar staff were great as well. The locals really friendly. We will visit again

We were made very welcome by Minty, landlord, he had all our music requests played in the bar, very friendly and accommodating, well worth a visit. Lovely roaring fire too.

Me and my partner Joanne found this little gem of a pub whilst out walking and weren't disappointed. Martin the landlord made you feel really welcome as did his partner Judith. Martin even bought us a pint each as It was my birthday. We stayed to watch the Wales six nations game and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were staying at Pontins where the beer tasted like a combination of a bad fart and an old man's shoe. We went back to this pub the next evening and were once again welcomed with open arms. If you are ever in the area I thoroughly recommend that you visit this great establishment.

Please don't 'modernise' you're perfect as you are. What a surprise, discovering this gem, wish I lived closer. Friendly staff good beer and wine, will definitely call in when I'm next in area.

Couldn’t ask for a nicer pub Martin behind the bar was a top bloke and couldn’t be homely would absolutely recommend to anyone passing by

Best pub in Kewstoke, Martin is a diamond. Great entertainment. Local, cosy pub feel. Will come again!!!

We went to the New Inns before going into town. Well, we didn’t make it in to town because we had such a great night at the new inns. The staff are so welcoming and we had such a great laugh. We decided to stay at the new inns and ditch town because of how much we enjoyed ourselves. Martins a legend and makes the pub a home for everyone, locals and visitors. 💜

We dropped in whilst staying at the near by Pontins site so wanted to escape the forced fun for a chilled out drink in the local pub. We popped in had a nice natter with Martin the landlord, very friendly place, worth a visit! Highly recommended for a tradition village pub!

A proper pub! We popped in for a lunchtime drink whilst staying at the Pontins site. We had a lovely afternoon in a traditional village pub, the memorabilia around the pub filled my blogging desires and filmed around the pub as it was so nice to see a traditional pub was thriving. The landlord was so friendly made us feel more than welcome, and had time to chat with us. I could not recommend the new inn enough, you must visit for a drink if your in the area.

Honestly if your looking for a proper old school pub this is definitely worth a visit, the landlord Martin and the locals welcomed us as if we had been living in the area and drinking here for years! After leaving the 1st night and returning a couple of nights after everyone said hi and welcome us back! Honestly can’t recommend this pub enough! Fantastic laugh with fantastic people! Thank you all. We will return.

Had an enjoyable drink last Friday evening - we would have stayed longer but needed to go and get something to eat, which unfortunately we couldn't get anything here. Everyone very friendly!

A traditional English pub... interesting decor, real fire, entertaining atmosphere, welcoming staff, good beer and friendly locals. Everything you'd expect from a proper local boozer!! Thank you to landlord, Martin, Sian and Little Pup for a fabulous night.

I popped into meet some friends. I haven't been in this pub since I was a child. The landlord Martin was very friendly and welcoming. The drinks were very reasonably priced and the locals were also very friendly. When I'm next in weston this will be the pub I choose to go too.

Would like to say a big thank you to Martin at the New Inns, kewstoke, For a lovely friendly welcoming , to the pub and looking after us, we will definitely be calling back again, also the regulars are very friendly.

I can not rate this pub highly enough. We were staying at the Church House B&B for a 1 night stop over and popped in for a few drinks.The landlord Martin is an exceptional bloke. Really friendly and genuinely interested in both his locals and visitors alike. If you want food however then I would amble down to the local fish and chip shop at sandy beach which also sells alcohol including shorts and mixers! Or alternatively if you want to stay put then have a sandwich roll and a pickled egg in the pub.We selected the chippy and watched the sunset then went back to the pub and enjoyed the rest of the night chatting with Martin and Sian and some of the other locals.It's not often you come across genuinely nice people so it was a real pleasure to spend the last night of our holiday with Martin and Sian.I hope the birthday party went well Martin. Sorry we could not stay to make it.

The New Inn is such an inviting pub. Sian and Martin are very kind and speak to us like we are locals. They run the pub with such finesse even when the place is full like yesterday when they had a live ska music evening for the owner’s birthday. The place is filled with memories of my childhood like the Dandy books and the music that listened to when I was younger. From Ang, Chris and Daisy. P.S try the cheese and ham rolls.X

We went here while we was staying up the road went for a stroll and pop in for a pint staff made us welcome and friendly we found the drinks a bit expensive what we had

I had read some of the New Inn's reviews and thought me and my mates would try it as we had tried most of the ones in Weston. We are so glad we did as we entered a very homely type of place where you felt easy straight away. And after we ordered our drinks ,the manager Martin introduced himself and made us very welcome . A bit off the beaten track but well worth the taxi ride . Would definitely go again A memorable few hours . Thank you Martin.

We were recommended to visit The New Inn and were not disappointed. Martin and his staff were so friendly and made us feel so welcome. Cannot remember when we last had such a good evening and on a Monday night. Would definitely recommend. Elaine and Richard

My husband and I visited Monday night, and found the landlord Martin, extremely friendly and welcoming, had a couple of drinks more than we intended, bad head the next morning!! Local customers were super friendly and a good laugh! Would highly recommend this pub and on our next visit we well be back!!

Had a few drinks here last night landlord and landlady very welcoming and friendly and now with the pub having a make over it's an even better local pub

Martin and Sian are amazing hostsMyself,my partner, mother in law and nephew were made to feel at homeWe really didn’t want to leave, the service was impeccable, the locals were so welcoming, the atmosphere was lovely and relaxedWe’ll definetly be visiting the new inn againI was transfixed by martins collection of memorabilia This family pub is definitely worth a look up by everyone!!!

Great atmosphere and friendly faces. Staff and Pub-Goers greated us with a friendly face. Great prices and great service, made to feel at home and completely at ease. Couldn’t complain with our visit.

Well what can we say, we walked into this pub during the lunchtime period and immediately had a warm welcome. We were greeted by the friendly face and bubbly personality of the barmaid Sian. We stayed for for a couple of hours, she was knowledgeable of the local area and how to get around, she was easy to chat to and attentive. We met the landlord Martin who was also very friendly, welcoming and interested in having a conversation.We went back for a quiz of the evening and again was greeted with a warm welcome by Sian who remembered our drinks order. We met a few of the locals who were also very friendly and accommodating to the point where we felt like it was our local! The pub was clean, safe and they adhered to covid rules. A comfortable ,warm welcoming place well worth a visit if you miss the atmosphere of a local village pub and to quote a previous review probably the friendliest local pub you can visit. We hope to visit again in the future !

Only went in for a half but ended up staying all afternoon very efficient and Friendly and handsome landlord nice refreshing larger and clean toilets will definitely be back

Went in for a quick pint but lasted quite a while, lovely landlord, very welcoming, reasonably priced, very homely pub, would recommend

Buzzing, friendly place where the truly bonkers landlord makes everyone, locals and visitors alike, feel welcome.Martin is also obsessive about the quality of his beer and serves a good range of ciders/ales/lagers; shame no one from CAMRA appears to have visited!It's looking really smart since the refurbishment, but still cosy and quirky. Although they're not yet serving food except for special events, you might get a plate of late-night chips if you ask nicely!Dog-friendly. The pub also has a pool table and one of the locals will always give you a game if you turn up on your own.

Visited this pub having checked out the trip advisor, unfortunately no food being served yet, but after their new fit kitchen they are starting food at Easter. We had a lovely few drinks after our walk along SandBay beach, it was a cold day & we were met by friend staff & a crackling log fire. This pub is dog friend & definitely people friendly! We will be back...

Great to see a local pub being a solid part of the community. Brilliant day and sure to do this again. Staff were so welcoming

You might want to check with Martin the landlord before you venture out from Weston to find this place as when we were there a few days ago they were about to close for much needed decoration. Its a great local resource and when they reopen expect it to feature the occasional sea shanty performance,excellent beers, food, a quiz night and a collection of interesting old annuals and other paraphernalia. Its a very friendly place and you can walk here from Weston along a forest path which is lovely and gives you great views of the bay. Well worth finding.

Very friendly. Was made to feel like one of the local. Landlord excellent. Would defiantly call in again.

On our arrival to this lovely pub there was a summer party 🥳 happening with a great atmosphere! The prices here are extremely reasonable and the landlord Martin is a great laugh! The pub is also very dog friendly 🐕😊 well worth a visit!!

THIS WAS THE BET PUB EVER WE WILL BE BACK TOMORROW EVENING. Everyone is amazing and so friendly. I would recommend it 5 stars. Martin the landlord is the best person ever and so nice to use all. He should bring the pub closer to us. Thanks for the great ever

Visited this pub in the past when staying at the b&b next to it and it was ok for a quiet drink but I must say that the current landlord has made this pub a real pleasure to visit and makes you feel like you are one of the locals ... friendly, comfortable and a definite improvement to previous landlords. I just wished we had a place like this including the landlord closer to home (in Brum) !! They are Dog friendly which made life easier for us as my dog is a pensioner and has separation anxiety ... so he was quite content and this allowed us to play pool, have a drink and relax without worry. 5 stars ... keep up the good work it is appreciated

Incredibly friendly landlord, Martin and friendly locals. All that a true local should be. Quiz nights, meat raffles and open mike nights raise money for local charlites and create a lively atmosphere. Do visit, we need to keep locals like this open and thriving as they provide a central point for the community to connect.

I've been visiting this pub for a couple of years....non resident of the village of kewstoke...have seen a few holding managers come and go...but Martin and his lovely Jude have taken this pub on to make it work for all..locals...visitors and anyone passing through...a very warm welcome...and a wanting to include everyone into a little bit of a West country community that is proud of its ancestory..it's not the Ritz...and it's defiantly not a witherspoons...it's a good old fashioned hostilery at it's best...

On a recent work trip to Bristol, stayed in Sand Bay.. came across this little gem entirely by accident.. what a fantastic atmosphere and very friendly locals..Having missed our last orders for food at our digs we went looking for grub and although the kitchen is currently out of service Martin did everything possible to look after us.. got some great food delivered and had an amazing few nights in there.. what a top Landlord, a rare find but would definitely recommend and will be going back when on next stage of job

The New Inn is indeed, as a previous reviewer has said, 'a little gem'. The new proprietor, Martin is one of those landlords you rarely come across in these days of managed pubs; the life and soul of the place, remembering us from our previous visit and welcoming us as if we'd been going there for years. The place consequently has a real buzz about it - even in its quieter moments when locals and visitors alike share a joke and talk about events in the world outside. At other times you might catch a quiz or the local sea shanty group that meets and plays there on alternate Sundays. If we were local you'd certainly catch us in there most evenings and as visitors we'll definitely be popping back next time we're down that way. Five stars shining. Long may you run!

We stayed in Kewstoke for one night and fancied a drink - the new castle was full and due to the rain we could not sit outside. We then went to The Commodore very dated and not for us so we moved onto this little gem. We had walked past it earlier in the day and thought maybe not - how wrong we were.

Being a local to the New Inn, its great to see the change the new landlord has made to the place. Its clean, nicely decorated and serves good beers. Nice log fire and a good mix of local and visiting clientele. Only downside is the Landlord himself, he needs to be a tad more welcoming and smile like he is enjoying himself.

The bar man (owner) was about as welcoming as a taxman's letter! Why be in hospitality if you can't eve muster up a smile.....although the locals were very nice. Plus the place needs a good clean.

Great pub , clean and great range of beers, the landlord was pleasant , and the locals very friendly

Vino y encontramos el pub bajo nueva dirección. Nos lo pasamos de maravilla aquí. Cómodos sofás y la luz de las velas, cervezas inglesas y borradores, así como cervezas y refrescos. Hospitalidad es inigualable. El personal del bar excepcional, el propietario hace lo imposible para hacerte sentir bienvenido. El pub es una absoluta delicia, poco de un tesoro escondido, pero se lo recomendaría a cualquiera. Lugar más agradable que he estado, es mi lugar favorito y volveré cada vez que están en Weston. No puedo decir suficiente gente, ambiente genial y encantador que conocimos.

Un pueblo tradicional de pub local con un incendio real, cervezas, sidra real y una variedad de cervezas de barril, cervezas y sidras, las gaseosas Alco - COP, vinos y licores. El pub es tanto niños y perros y la publican y el personal es muy acogedor y amable, el pub tiene un ambiente muy agradable!

Lo que un ambiente increíble. El personal es muy amable, y sin duda volveremos en nuestra próxima visita a Weston super Mare para probar un almuerzo de domingo. . . . . Sólo espero que el fuego. es de nuevo, lo hace muy acogedor en un día frío miserable. . . . El perro 'Bo' también era muy popular con nuestros niños! ! !

Probamos por primera vez después de ver otros también allí. Miré críticas, el servicio era muy lento y no muy amable. La camarera era precioso, pero lo que parecía ser el dueño era muy arrogante y estaba con otras mesas. No volver

Aparecimos aquí para una bebida una noche de domingo, ya que se alojaba en la bahía de arena pontins para un cambio de paisaje es un lugar agradable y encantador personal precios son buenas vale la pena una visita,

Popped in for a quick pint. Seems a nice enough place. Nice atmosphere with an open fire. Pint served perfectly and prices seem reasonable.

Un pub encantador con una cálida bienvenida. El personal y el gerente fue muy amable, la buena cerveza y todos nos enamoramos de Bo el perro de pub!

What a lovely pub. We called in for lunch and a drink and it was excellent.. The manager was very friendly and made us very welcome. We met the pub dog a lovely well behaved boy.We will definitely go back when we are next in the area for our holiday

Staying nearby in a b&b we saw this pop up for dinner, walked down and went in. What a great little local pub! Friendly staff, friendly people, delicious food (the lasagne was amazing!), nice atmosphere, friendly resident dog and a meat raffle to enter too! Great value too. Would visit again if ever in the area.

What a great little pub, friendly staff, locals very friendly, unusual in a village pub! Landlord a character and really nice, nothing is too much trouble. Good place for families. Sunday lunch is a must. Will definitely return.

Great place to eat and drink. The manager and bar staff are really friendly and go out of there way to please you. And a nice range of ciders.

Fabulous service! The bar staff even offered us some milk to take home to the baby to save us making an extra trip to pick some up! Where else do you get customer service like that these days?

This local pub has struggled for a few years, but is now much improved. Well worth giving it a try if you were disappointed before. There is consistency now with opening everyday at 12 noon, good and reasonably priced food available lunch and evening time, choice of tea/coffee soft drinks as well as alcoholic drinks with some local beer and cider. As a regular customer it is great when visitors come in and interact. I am writing this because we want to see this village pub continue to improve as it is doing.

Good range off beers at reasonable prices. Friendly and welcoming staff. Good range of entertainment friendly locals. And very nice home cooked food.

Called in for a welcome break on our way home after walking from Weston out to Sand Point and back. Friendly service, cider for me, tea for my partner

We just nipped in for a quick pint, got a lovely welcome . Beer was a £1 off cos it wsas happy hour. Butcombe - lubbly jubbly. New management meant changes but not too obvious as yet, still old furniture and lights - the lights are far too bright for a relaxing atmosphere. The menu looks rather inviting, chatty peeps in pub. We'll go back on our next visit to Weston

This i a lovely family run pub that have just started serving meals.Both the landlord and locals make you feel very welcome plus they put a variety of diffrent entertainment on through the week.Always made to feel welcome

if your in the area this place is a must if u like your real ales or a very good selection of ciders,wines and lagers,you can expect a warm welcome from the landlord and his staff, customers are very friendly and helpful,a new menu is now in place and the food is of quality standard, there are a number of themed nights that are run from half price food on monday, free pool on tuesday, wednesday is poker night and burger and pint, quiz every other sunday,

We went here for a quick bite to eat at lunchtime. 4 Adult's. 2 Children and 2 Dogs. We were made to feel very welcome. The food was great. Real Chips. Very warm and quick service. Would deffinatly go back.

Give this place a try and forget past experiences here. The new landlord was very helpful, the real ale is served at the correct temperature, not freezing cold like the lagers, a nice pint of Tribute indeed.The lunchtime menu was good for a local, the chips were real and not frozen jobs heated up, nice fresh salad garnish too.

Martin ( I think that was name) was a top man and he and his old man made us very welcome. He has turned the place around from the miserable old fella that had it before. Give them a chance they deserve it. Locals were fine too he barred the wrong uns straight off. Well done.

If you are in the area of The New Inn Kewstoke call in and enjoy a nice welcome, with good real ales at reasonable prices, another plus point it has it's own car park.

I had been warned that this was very much a local "for the locals" with tourists being given short shrift, but on a busy Saturday I found both the bar staff and the customers friendly and very good humoured.The Guinness was very good but not as good as the two beers from the Butcombe Brewery which were very well kept and were lovely. They do food, but I only had a packet of nuts, and would definitely go back.

A really good find. when we visited a few weeks ago, the landlord offered a good selection of real ales (The best Butcombe Rare Breed I have tasted to date) and also a varied choice of ciders. A good stop off for any fellow CAMRA members. I understand that the real ales on offer rotate regularly with others such as RCH on offer.Good very reasonable food.Well worth a visit!Also, for all you Sand Bay dog walkers, Dog Friendly in the main bar!! Our Collie loved it too!
