The New Inn in West Dorset

Wow what a little hidden gem! We arrived Friday evening at our lake cabin at willow farm we was recommended to try the new inn which was in walking distance, we arrived and we was welcomed by Kirsty who was so friendly. There were locals in the pub but that didn’t stop Kirsty and the locals being so friendly and welcoming. We had dinner which was lovely and it was just needed after a long drive. On Sunday we decided to have a walk to the pub again for the Sunday roast wow - amazing!! And the chocolate brownie absolutely delicious!! Definitely the best village pub we have ever been to! We couldn’t recommend enough!

Another lovely lunch at the New Inn. One of our best Sundays is walking across the fields to enjoy a Sunday roast and a pint of beer. Always a warm welcome on arrival, followed by the perfect pint and a lovely lunch. Kev’s chocolate brownies for dessert with cream are essential.

Myself and my daughter had a lovely dinner 9/10 and we don’t normally give higher than an 8 we would definitely go back for another meal.

Great pub for fresh locally sourced food, you always get a warm welcome from Kirsty and Kevin, the food is great quality and ample portions well recommended a hidden gem

Stopped here and had Sunday lunch after a walk. The food was absolutely amazing and a really good price. The pub had a really warm and welcoming feeling and will definitely be going back.

Amazing roast dinner - cooked so well and delicious. Could not recommend enough, we found by accident while looking at walks in the area and we will not hesitate to go back.

A really lovely experience. Attentive service. Friendly atmosphere. Beautifully cooked fresh food at a very reasonable price. The lamb is recommended and the fish and chips hit the spot. We will return

After stumbling across The New Inn on a country walk,and having a superb lunch, we came back for a curry night a couple of weeks later. The food was superb, there was a variety of three different curries and the three of us had one of each. They were all fantastic, some of the best we've had, and we've eaten a lot of curries! All was freshly cooked and the rice was lovely, cooked to perfection. The staff are very friendly and the pub and its village setting are very pretty. We'll certainly be back, maybe for the meze evening in a few weeks.

Top class in every way. Great warmth and welcome from Kirsty. Kevin cooks delicious, flavoursome food. Good choice menu. Local beers. Wines are well priced. Big car park and garden with tables. Well behaved dogs are made welcome. Lovely local walks. Booking advisable as it's a popular spot for all the right reasons!

Been going to this pub for years and Kevin the chef to my mind creates the best stake and ale pie this side of pie heaven wherever that is. But keep it quiet I don’t want everyone going there and eating all the pies. Kirsty the landlady make you feel very welcome. Beer is Palmers and she keeps a good selection of wines. Alway first on our list when thinking of somewhere good to eat.

You need to book - very popular! Not open Mondays and Tuesdays. Excellent (1) steak and (2) chicken wrapped in pancetta. Definitely recommend

What a gem this amazing pub is ! We had Sunday roast lunch here, I could not have cooked it better myself ! In fact it was better than mine. Five different vegetables slice upon slice of tender beautifully cooked meat (I had lamb) crunchy roast potatoes and a huge serving of Yorkshire pud ! it was Simply amazing. Kirsty and Kev are obviously very experienced in the trade, and it shows. Thank you !

What a fabulous place! We popped in for a drink ( with our noisy puppy) on the first day of our weeks holiday, the pub is a real community pub - a real place for locals - but we felt really welcomed by Kirsty, and also the local people. We had a lovely evening meal - then went back for a fantastic Sunday roast ( beef was lush!), Kev the chef makes a point to come out and meet all of the diners - regulars and all - a really nice touch, we finished our holls with the most fab steak pie and steak and chips.( sticky toffee pudding - delish! Thank you Kirsty and Kev for making us most welcome. Highly recommend. Rich, Heather and Maeve

Six of us had dinner on a Friday evening. The staff were attentive and friendly. We ordered a variety of dishes and they were all excellent. Very happy - thank.

We came here in October last year and we looked forward to our return this October. And it's just as amazing as last year. We had Sunday lunch and dined twice in the evening. Sunday lunch is still the best I've had outside of home! The evening meals are are large and well cooked. Both Kirsty and Kevin are the perfect hosts. This truly is the perfect pub and we just so wish we had pubs like this in Kent. I guess we'll have to come to Stoke Abbott more often. Oh, and almost forget, Jasper our Dalmatian also enjoyed his New Inn visits. Until next time.

We and our sons had wonderful roast beef and all the trimmings - excellent cauliflower cheese - and a very good plant burger, Pimms, Palmers ale in this atmospheric inn with its beautiful garden. Many thanks to Kevin and Kirsty and their staff!

This has to be one of the best pubs I have eaten in recently. The welcome for my wife and two dogs was super friendly and we were shown a lovely roomy corner table. The beer was so good that I called at the brewery and brought some back. The food was also first class and delivered with a lovely smile. If we lived closer, this would be my regular haunt, so thank you for making our holiday so enjoyable.

Tucked away in a beautiful village, this pub provided us with tasty home cooked food and a warm welcome:) Thank you!

Firstly congratulations on winning Taste of the West award. Well deserved. We visited the village again for a few days and had an evening meal at the New Inn. It was again superb food, great service and value for money. You must try Kev's home made bread, lovely. We were pleased that they are continuing with the covid rules it made us feel much more comfortable.Thank you, see you again soon.

I called in a while ago for a drink and thought what a welcoming and happy friendly place!. When next in the area I made sure I booked a table to eat there, as the food looked great on my previous visit. I was not disappointed!!. Freshly prepared, beautifully cooked and presented, all courses were most enjoyable. With a fine selection of beers to compliment, this place is a real gem. Along with its staff who are very nice, polite and nothing seems to be too much trouble, I will be coming here more regularly. This is one country Inn that has got it right.

We spent a week in the area,and went here twice,once before "freedom day" and once after.Each time we found the staff attentive and welcoming, nothing was a bother.We were pleased that they have kept the measures in place,meaning we felt comfortable both inside the building and in the garden.The food is excellent value for money, and considering it was very busy both times,although we had a little wait it was worth it for the standard of food that comes out.I would recommend the New Inn if you want traditional home cooked of a high standard.Only a slight negative and this is in no way the pubs fault, was kids running around all night welding sticks! Obviously the parents were too interested in their night,without much regard to anyone else in the garden..We look forward to returning on our next visit to the area

A nice country pub with great food and always a warm welcome. Always enjoy our visits when we are in the area and one of our "go to" places to visit.

Had a lovely meal as always We love this pub. Great food. Great people. Will alwaysvreçimend. Never had a bad time here

Cosy pub, amazing food, family friendly, dog friendly and they take covid precautions very seriously. Good service and lovely well cooked food. Definitely recommend!

A beautiful thatched pub in the centre of Stoke Abbott. Seating inside is limited, so you will need to book, but the food was excellent (from a relatively small menu) and the service was first rate and personal. Nice beer from Palmers Brewery.Would definitely recommend, especially if staying in or near the village.

The food was delicious, and very good value for money. The staff were friendly and attentive. We’d been intending to eat here for ages based on recommendation by neighbours and we certainly weren’t disappointed. We’ll be back.

We went here twice for dinner during a short stay in the village. The first time as a couple and then as our full party of seven. The service was brisk and efficient but there is a certain lack of warmth in the overall approach and indeed the layout of the pub. The food is basic pub offerings done to a reasonable standard but certainly not exceptional in any way. We were happy to go here and eat but I would not go out of my way for the experience. on a final note, it certainly seemed as though the Covid police operate here as there was a rigid application of all Covid regulations and from an overheard comment if sounded as though there was going to be a requirement for mask wearing even after "freedom day"; this seems odd in a hospitality venue which should be seeking to encourage customers

Now I don’t live too far from this pub Infact is my local a few miles away, we love to walk and this is within walking distance. We have been on 3 different occasions and after the first 2 times which we were met with hostility I thought they are probably under pressure after pandemic etc… so I now write this review after our 3rd visit with friends. The first time, we were there for drinks in the garden along with children, we were made to feel as though we were in the way and it was an effort to serve us. The second time we went as a couple and had a great Sunday roast it was very yummy! however again we felt like a burden, in the way, and yet again wasn’t welcome. Now the third time we went with friends (who also haven’t had the best experience with this pub! They have recently moved to the area and would have loved to have made this their local/regular eating place.) it seems this publican doesn’t want to make any money….. the 3rd time we had called ahead to see if we could eat that eve, and told abruptly we couldn’t. (This wasn’t an issue, as I do understand most hospitality is struggling for staff etc.). we then went for drinks again… And yet again they made us feel so very unwelcome. I said thank you when clearing the glasses away and I had no response not even a smile!! this happened about 4 times. I have felt each time like a nuisance. Even a smile when greeted would be lovely. Im not normally one for writing reviews, however I’ve given this pub 3 chances and I’m not sure the criticism would be welcome at all!!

Our first night in West Dorset and a trip to this delightful traditional inn. COVID aware and all protective measures taken to protect diners. A nice breeze was blowing through the dining area. The food was very good, my wife choosing the halloumi mushroom burger with chips (very well cooked) and I had the lamb rump, beautifully cooked. Friendly service and overall a very enjoyable experience

Sunday lunch as I remember it. Tender meat, extremely tasty veg, good portion sizes. It doesn't stop there, well kept beers, dog friendly, child friendly, muddy boot friendly all contrived to make a family atmosphere to enjoy. Prices extremely reasonable and a pleasant change from the pretentious overpriced offerings in nearby Bridport and West Bay. Oh - and did I mention the friendly staff?

We were the last booked table of the night. Was initially told that there were no pies left: pastry all used up. The penultimate table had taken the last pie, but both ladies had wanted a pie option. Upon hearing that there were 2 customers that would have ordered pie, the chef offered to make a fresh batch of pastry, providing both tables were willing to wait. We were and it was well worth it.

Booked here for Sunday lunch and it was very pleasant. Portion sizes were good and the vegetables were all fresh and well cooked. Everywhere was clean and staff were friendly. An optional fish dish and a wider range of desserts would have been nice.

Lovely food and setting. Tables spaced out from each other so plenty room especially as we had 2 dogs with us. Liked seeing the chef come out to the herb garden to collect fresh herbs. Can highly recommend the burger and fish and chips

Ticks all the boxes! Delicious, home-cooked food in lovely surroundings. Unlike many pubs, vegetarians are not forgotten. A recent superfood salad with goats cheese was very much appreciated. Dogs welcome. Can thoroughly recommend.

Went with family for a Sunday meal. Lovely countryside location, cozy country pub feel, friendly service, and the most amazing Sunday meal.

Been here several times in the last 12 months and the food and atmosphere are excellent. Fresh veg fro their own garden and always a good fish option - but also good options for all my family

Still providing an amazing service, well organised and a wonderful choice of dishes. Beautiful tasty homemade curries , pies, fish, meat and veg dishes. As well as delicious homemade deserts. Can't wait to see you next week when you open.

Sunday lunch during lockdown . I ordered take away - a generous portion of Roast Beef - served with 5 veg and gravy and a Yorkshire. It was still hot when I arrived home ! Thank you and well done both of you xx till the next time.

We have enjoyed the most amazing meals since lockdown. All very well organised , with collection at timed intervals.Can't praise Kirsty & Kevin highly enough for their exceptional profession, warm and friendly attitude during these unusual times.We look forward to returning to the pub , but in the meantime we will enjoy your fantastic cuisine in our home.

Excellent pub food. We had a lovely meal . I had the beer battered hake and chips followed by home made Bakewell tart. My husband had the steak and ale pie. It was all delicious. Also very generous portions. The home made tart was excellent This pub is keeping up standards during a very difficult time. £58 for 2 with drinks.

The atmosphere, owners, food and drink is completely worth the visit to this pub. I have several intolerances and they could not have made me feel more comfortable and catered to them to allow me to have my first curry out in a restaurant in a VERY long time. I have been to this pub on several occasions and it has never disappointed me and despite the current pandemic they made me feel safe with all the precautions they have in place.

Spent a very pleasant week in Stoke Abbott, literally three minutes walk from the New Inn. Frequented this delightful country pub three times during the week. The pub has alot of character, the Landlady and Landlord are very friendly and welcoming. They keep pleasant wines and excellent Palmers. And now to the food. I had the Brazilian fish stew, which was amazing. Cod and prawns on rice, with a spicy sauce. We finished the week with Sunday lunch. Sunday lunch and pudding is £11. Incredible. The lunch was brilliant. Normally, the Yorkshire puddings are stone cold at other establishments, but not at the New Inn, the Yorkshire puddings are as they should be, piping hot and flavoursome. Vegetables are fresh and the beef melted in our mouths. If only more pubs were like this. This place is special

This tucked away pub is set in a quiet peaceful valley and is an absolute gem. The menu has some wonderful dishes so you really have to come more than once, as the food is great. Landlady and the staff all very pleasant & welcoming. Highly recommened and will definitely be back again.

It's our second Staycation of the year, this time we're in Stoke Abbott, Dorset. We always hope there's a pub within walking distance of our accommodation, last week the New Inn was just the name on a map, now it's our preferred local.Everything is done perfectly, Covid 19 rules followed to the letter but that doesn't stop good customer service with a smile and a treat for the dog thrown in too.The menu offers something for everybody, more importantly it's well prepared and tastes great, very good value for money.There's a friendly welcome and a nice buzz about the place, perfect in every way.

A unique & lovely experience. Fantastic food & service. A genuinely great find, would definitely revisit when next in the area.

We had a very friendly welcome on arrival and were attended to straight away.The menu was so tempting it was hard to choose.The atmoshere was very relaxing and we felt very much at home.The meal when it arrived looked and tasted wonderful,everything beautifully cooked.

Enjoyed a great lunch in the pub garden on 05/09 while on a walking holiday in the area. Attractive setting in a chocolate box village. The landlady was very welcoming and the food was delicious . Good to see a smaller menu of freshly prepared ingredients. Highly recommended. We regret only making a single visi during our break.

We visited the New Inn last week for an evening meal whilst staying in Dorset. I have to say that this was the best meal out we have had for as long as I can remember. The lamb was delicious as was my husband's vegan mushroom and halloumi burger. To top it off was a delightful lemon posset with shortbread biscuit which was to die for. Lovely warm welcome on arrival and real attention to making customers feel safe and comfortable in these covid times. Superb!

We took advantage of the wonderful weather and ate in the garden at The New Inn. We received a lovely warm welcome on arrival. My husband had the steak and ale pie which he described as a ‘proper pie’; full top and button pastry and packed with meat. I had the hake on a bed of summer vegetables which was super tasty. We share a creme brûlée for dessert with a yummy shortbread biscuit. You could tell everything was fresh and that care had been put into it. With drinks, our bill came to £39 which we thought was well worth it.

Great pub Very friendly staff even in these difficult times Lovely food I can recommend the beef and ale pie 😋 Beautiful setting right in the heart of the village

We visited the New Inn this evening it was the best meal we have had in Dorset all week. The quality of the service and meal we’re superb we are returning tomorrow.. highly recommend

Yet again another visit , just for the pies , outstanding, mouth watering , so enjoyable , and the beers not to shabby either , pie night is Thursdays

When staying in Dorset visited The New Inn twice with family so must have been good. Choice of menu limited but food was of high quality and plentiful. Staff were very welcoming and friendly and owners made our visit even more pleasurable.

We had dinner recently at the New Inn which has a lovely garden and is in a small pretty village. The food and service was excellent. We really enjoyed our dinner.

A hidden gem. Excellent pint of Palmers. Lovely garden. Very tasty food, only small moan woukd be portion size of open sandwiches. If you are in the area definitely worth a visit.

Stopped off for coffee last week then booked in for dinner with friends. Food was very hearty and tasty, but the commitment to hygiene and safety was really impressive. Place immaculate throughout, sanitising stations available and staff were continually cleaning, spraying etc. Easy one-way system helps everyone feel reassured. Really hope these guys have the summer they deserve ☺️

Did a 5 mile circular walk from beaminster going through stoke abbott..one of prettiest dorset villages..up to gerrards hill where fab 360 degree views over countryside.The new inn was our lunch stop. Great beer and delicous open sandwiches in very pretty garden. Post covid with sanitiser available everywhere, one way systems and much thought to protect all.Great stop to refill us ready for the rest of the walk!!

The pie was amazing with homemade suet pastry filled to the brim with filling and perfectly cooked, with home made chips too, definitely a hidden gem. I could eat the pie everyday. Please do more pie fillings :o) Just amazing, thank you for great service too!

Just for a change I thought steak and ale pie for lunch , and wow what a surprise, this home made pie was just the best ever plenty of filling , tasty , nice pastry , and fresh cut chips , totally outstanding

The New Inn opened last evening for the first time. Very professional attitude and arrangements to keep customers safe. Sanitizer available, tables distanced and only bookable, table service.No worries at all eating here - still with the great pub ambiance.The great food, value and service are available again!! Well done Kevin & Kirsty!

4 of us had fish and chips to take away, fish was lovely but very few chips, we were all a bit disappointed, so won’t be ordering from here again

Nestled in the small village of Stoke Abbott is this fantastic Inn .It is now five years since our first visit , we always look forward to our meals there and this year once again we were not dissapointed .Beautifully cook and presented by friendly staff ... Well done to Kirsty and all the staff .Already looking forward to our visit next year !!

Returned to my favourite pub for an evening meal. We received a very warm welcome, and superb service. Lovely selection of meals to choose from on the menu. Our evening meal was wonderful, I was too full to squeeze a pudding in!Highly recommend for food or a quick drink. Ideal for couples, families and social groups.

Kevin & Kirsty - 5 years running this delightful pub. 5 years of continuous improvement! Brilliant for the locals and welcome visitors alike. Well done!

Return visit and the food was as good as ever. The fish and chis is as good as I have had in a pub and the portion huge

Good freshly cooked food in typical Dorset country surroundings.Staff were polite and the ambience is commendable. Definitely go again,

Had the best meal out that I've had in a long time!! Five of us went to celebrate Christmas and it couldn't be faulted. Food, service and atmosphere were second to none. Kevin and Kirsty are the perfect hosts. So good I have booked for Sunday lunch to show my husband.

This is a wonderful pub, welcoming everyone. Cosy atmosphere, with fire and candles which is such a bonus. Great hosts, nothing any trouble. Fantastic Team. The food is divine, so tasty and so delicious. Very good value. Definitely a favourite. Thoroughly recommend.

Popped in for supper last night and had a great meal, the homemade burgers were very tasty & beautifully cooked, similarly the pie was very good too.

We took our family (5 adults! 2 under 5s) out for a pub lunch. We were warmly welcomed. The menu was appropriate, with amendments allowed with no question (a four-year old can be very picky!). All the meals were well presented, obviously freshly cooked, and delicious. Six plates were returned empty. And the price was very reasonableAll in all a great experience (enhanced by the arrival in the garden of four lovely donkeys).(

Great place, so friendly and fantastic home made food. We were a group of 6 adults (ages ranging from 53 - 20) plus one dog, all were delighted with the evening. Everyone had wonderful food we had starters, steak and ale pies (best pies ever), steak and falafel, sticky toffee pudding (4 of us shared as we were so full, again full of flavour and light) and creme brûlée. It was lovely to go somewhere where the food was all homemade and fresh and very welcoming. Great evening.

We visited the New Inn at Stoke Abbott last Sunday for lunch whilst on holiday in the area. The staff were very friendly and welcoming to us and our small dog. The other customers were friendly and chatty and there was a great atmosphere to the place. Whitebait to start followed by delicious roast beef, served with four types of seasonal vegetables. Couldn't fault it. The staff were very accommodating as my husband has a dairy allergy and they went out of their way to provide dairy free alternatives to gravy etc. So thank you very much, we appreciate that. Excellent value for money - roast beef £10 and an extra £1 for fruit crumble. Palmers IPA and Dorset Gold beer beautifully kept. We'll definitely visit again when we're back in the area.

We stayed in a cottage in this picturesque village and were so lucky that The New Inn was our local. We had 4 meals there including an amazing Sunday lunch seated in the country garden. The home made Yorkshire puddings were fantastic.

Sunday lunch at The New Inn, because other favourites were fully booked. That was good luck for us.

We visited this pub when we were staying in a nearby cottage. It was very friendly and extremely cosy. The food was delicious......made our stay in Dorset all the more special.

WOW, how can I find any fault with my first to the New Inn Stoke Abbott, my wife and I wanted to take friends out for a meal, and had heard great comments with this Inn.

This is a lovely and popular place so you need to book! Our wedding anniversary and we thoroughly enjoyed the welcome, the service, the atmosphere and the food. Everything a Dorset pub should be !. Closed Monday unfortunately and we left for home Tuesday but will definitely be back to sample the home made steak pie, the lamb, and the wonderful looking plates of fish & chips. Thanks for a lovely evening.

My wife and I booked in for 1 nights meal. The food and hospitality was so good we booked on for the next night. Same service and the same quality food.

Very nice village pub just as they should be with great food and very friendly service. been before and will visit again!

A few miles down a country lane from where we were staying and an excellent village pub. The Palmer's beer was good, as usual, and the food was excellent, as was the service from the landlady. From all of the info in the pub it appears to be the hub of the village and if we are this way again we will definitely call in

Had a family dinner here yesterday evening, whilst staying in Stoke Abbott for the weekend. Delicious food, freshly cooked and excellent service from the staff. Loved our family football kick about in the pub garden too. Highly recommended!

Went to the ‘Pie and a Pint’ evening with friends. As Kirsty and Kevin have been here a number of years now they have really made this lovely pub into one of the best in West Dorset. Large car park, lovely garden, great service with quality and value. We shall definitely return.

Four of us enjoyed a few hours at the New Inn one lunchtime. Fish and chips, pie and chips, and chicken and bacon salad followed by ice cream and creme brûlée. All good food, large portions, well presented.

We spent a quiet evening at the New Inn (usually with a crowd) and it was, as ever, fabulous! Families visiting, couples, and friends enjoying a lovely evening, some in the garden, some on the bar, some in the restaurant and all made welcome by Kirsty and Kevin, who work their socks off to make everyone welcome, cook wonderful food, and make the evening special for all. Don’t know how they do it, but thank goodness, they keep doing it! Thank you so much, I hope you know how much we all appreciate it! M and A

We've eaten here a number of times including for Mother's Day and have always been impressed by the quality of food served. It's not easy finding a menu for a 16 Year old to really enjoy but the burger certainly hit the spot and filled every little space of a growing chap's endless appetite! Lovely atmosphere and always made to feel more than welcome. Will definitely be back again and recommend to others.

Myself and a girlfriend visited the New Inn as a recommendation for an evening meal and catch-up. We were welcomed and made to feel at home. We chose our drinks and chose a table to sit near the lovely fireplace with log burner. We were very well looked after and given menus, and explained that there was a dish off the menu but was offered an alternative. We were kindly offered more time to choose what we wanted and once had, we had cutlery brought and laid out.

Very good food in a cosy pub. Had excellent steak and great sticky toffee pudding. My wife had huge fish and chips with lovely home made chips. My son had the burger which he rated very highly. Good service and a nice cosy atmosphere. I rate this the best pub in bridport area at the moment

We had a week in Beaminster in March 2019 and ate twice here at lunchtime and it is a top top pub run by a lovely couple. Warm, very smart, welcoming and dog (and muddy walker) friendly. The small menu had slight changes each time with seasonal specials and varied deserts, If we lived local I would be a regular visitor for sure. For the quality then it is also outstanding value.

A friend and I walked Pilsdon pen and Leweston hill before arriving here for a Sunday lunch.

Fourth visit now to this beautiful village pub featuring oak beams and a roaring fire . Surprisingly busy for a local but I guess if people are willing to travel to this lovely village pub then this must be a sure sign that it is a great place all year round .

The New Inn sits in the beautiful little village of Stoke Abbott in the heart of the Dorset countryside.

We had our Christmas Do here this year..... Kev and Kirsty made us feel so welcome, the food was outstanding and it was great value for money and the best meal out that we’ve had in years!! Thanks so much!..... we’ll definitely be back!!

Have eaten here twice in the last week, great food, portions and value for money. Will definitely been returning

Four of us met at this location for a family lunch. We had ordered a table so were quickly seated, drinks ordered and menus distributed. The landlady was helpful and very efficient.

Second visit to The New Inn, this time for lunch. It's a lovely building, lively in the evenings, but still feels intimate and cosy in the dining area.

Excellent roast.The apple crumble was lovely and only £1 extra.A very friendly pub in a pretty village.Kirsty and keV were very friendly.

If you need a recommendation, my 99 year-old dad will send you to this pub every time. They look after him very well, along with the rest of their locals. Great food and lovely owners. The garden is one of the best in the area and you can walk for miles. Kevin and Kirsty work very hard to make the New Inn a buzzing and lively place to meet... try the quiz night for starters! Just great and long may it be there... Oh, and if you are a veggie, like me, the goats cheese salad is seriously GOOD.

Lovely pub, we went with our nieces, nephew and our dog Oscar. Sunday lunch with dessert was only £11. Food was lovely, top roasties & Yorkshire, tender beef and lovely gravy. Good choice of desserts. Staff friendly and Oscar was given a treat and dish of water. Lovely feel about the place. We were here for 2 weeks and tried somewhere different the following Sunday but it didn't come near to the New Inn. Would highly recommend.

Good pub food for the family. Basic menu done well for a reasonable price. Pleasant atmosphere. Able to cater for groups.

I spent the day dancing at Stoke Abbott fair, which was lovely. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for the Pub! I stepped into the bar to buy a drink and was ignored for 10minites while the landlady served her regulars that she knew by name. When I was served she was sharp and unfriendly , not making me feel welcome at all! To top it all off I was charged £2.60 for a small bottle of coke...straw came for free! The whole experience has left a bad taste In my mouth ....
