The young person serving was very good and so polite. A shame the land lady was not as welcoming. Rainbow trout was cooked well, poached served with 2 small new potatoes and a small bowl of salad that had grapes and watermelon in it. An interesting choice! The fish had its tail on, perhaps served like this in the 70/80s. We could here conversations of other customers and it really was a case of locals were offered things not on the menu and had a better service. We weren't offered another drink, whilst eating. Dessert menu was hand written on a pretty card, which was thrust into my hand. I couldn't quite read this. A beautiful building with much history. A real shame as it is a tourist attraction, which is a good source of income in the current climate. But new visitors aren't really welcomed. We didn't visit again during our week's stay as again we didn't feel welcome and also the food was very overpriced.

Very homely place for a weekday lunch with family. A friendly greeting and attentive owner and staff. Lovely home cooked food and excellent sized portions. So much so, we were too full to sample the delicious sweets from the menu! The prices were very reasonable for a village pub. It used to be a regular place to visit 30 years ago and first time back after all those years ago did not dissapoint. Well worth a visit.

The 4 of us stopped in Pembridge last week for 4 nights. On the first night we wandered into this very old and quite remarkable pub. We had a few ales (which were lovely hand pulled pints) and decided to eat there. I cannot sing the praise of the food highly enough. Truly outstanding food. It was that good we ate there 3 nights out of the 4 we nights we stopped (it would have been every night if we hadn’t decided to have a curry outside of the village one night) Rosie in the kitchen and Jane front of house are a great team (alongside their lovely and attentive staff) We would recommend this pub to anybody who wants a superb hand pulled pint and fantastic food in a very charismatic old pub. What a Gem! Mark, Annie, Steve and Helen

Went up to see Pembridge Black and White Village and came across the New Inn for lunch. So old with loads of atmosphere, quaint and old-fashioned . Wife had a "bacon sandwich" half a baguette with so much local bacon she only just finished it but could not manage the bowl of local potato chips. I had the ploughmans easily enough for two, slices of pie plus a couple of thick slices of local thick-cut ham two large chunks of cheese, salad, pickled onions, an apple, a slice of melon and chutney and two chunks of fresh bread. had to bring the cheese home, so good. Couple of pints all very good prices.

Going to a local auction in Pembridge we had lunch for first time in The New Inn. What we assume was the owners we very friendly and chatty. The pub itself is very old and full of character with family photographs dotted about making the atmosphere very homely. We ordered the ploughmans for two and have to say it is the best ploughman’s we have ever had. Everything about was lovely from fresh ingredients to presentation. Absolutely delicious. The whole experience was lovely and will definitely be going again.

Unfriendly /rude landlady - we arrived as a group, we hadn't booked and simply asked if we could get a table. Told abruptly that was not possible in an agressive & dismissive tone. Went to the Red Lion instead down the road which was lot friendler and the food was perfect. Proper home made chips rather than frozen. Unfortunatley the New Inn appeasrs to trade on its location rather than its service. We wont be trying again!

I should have took notice from a previous review. Firstly found it difficult to find due to incorrect postcode on this site. Told the landlady on arrival who simply dismissed this with a "we don't have a website". Not interested having this corrected by asking us where this postcode was found. Next, directed to the most wobbly table with a broken leg. Not interested in addressing this or apologising. We took it upon ourselves to find another table. Food took ages despite it not being busy. Salad came without smoked chicken despite it being advertised as such. Provided an excuse/ lie as to why this happened. Nobody asked how our meal was. Steak was tasteless. Food was overpriced for what it was. Had to go to the bar for more drinks where the landlady was joking with the locals. An attitude that change when it came to serving me as a visitor. Basically I would never go here again and would advise people against it as there seemed no care in visitors or indeed having return visits or positive reviews.

This is a traditional pub with what I would call a no nonsense approach. If you are coming to drink coffee and order a portion of chips between three of you prob not for you. But if you want to spend a few hours drinking good beer in a unique atmosphere this is the place for you. We loved it and would definitely come back as we would like to eat here as the food looks good. wrap up warm just in case in winter, no dogs.

Visited here for lunch whilst meeting other family members. When arriving the landlady isn’t the most welcoming however, the food was great! Great portion sizes and served quickly. There are two dinning rooms one on the left and another to the right. The rooms have stone floors and were chilly despite the open fire being lit. The pub is very traditional and back in time. However, cleanliness isn’t a strong point there! Overall I would go back to the new inn as food is great and the young waitress was brilliant, provided a great service. But towards the end of dessert they were flashing the lights as a signal to leave, no “would you like the bill? Or “just to let you know we’re closing soon” just a flicker of the lights. I wouldn’t expect that as we had spent £240 between 8 of us. But never mind had a great time!

After a break of some years I feared that things might have changed, but no.. (actually I imagine nothing much has changed at the New Inn due centuries, thank goodness!) The game pie was still absolutely delicious, the landlady delightful, and the atmosphere so comforting. If you visit during the winter, wrap up warm; it's a draughty old building and can be a bit nippy around the nether regions despite the log fires. If you want to experience a real traditional historic country pub which hasn't been ruined by a designer make-over this is the place for you! Just wonderful!

We had a lovely evening meal at the New Inn whilst we were staying at Townsend Camp site. We were welcomed and sat down in the dining room which felt you were in your nans home which was nice. For a starter we shared a croissant with garlic mushrooms followed two specials - smoked haddock and spring onion fish cakes and a chicken with stilton sauce. All very nice. For dessert we had a lemon meringue sundae and treacle tart - both amazing. We also had 2 local ciders. It would be fair to say we were very full by the end of the evening! I think good value at just under £50.

Visited in September 2020 as we were spending a week in Pembridge in a self-catering cottage. We opted to sit outside for an evening meal but were quite disappointed when we saw the menu as it looked more like a lunchtime menu with sandwiches, ploughmans etc. There was a limited specials board inside however. My friend chose the ham ploughmans as there was nothing she liked on the specials board, and was presented with a very basic plate of food finished off with an entire apple on the side! Very little thought to presentation. As we catered mostly for ourselves due to the Covid situation, this was one of our 'main meals out' for the week, and unfortunately we were really disappoited. Having said that, Covid hygiene levels were pretty high, it was just the food that let it down.

Visited last night for an impromptu supper after a busy day decorating. Both enjoyed the game pie with a great selection of vegetables and sat in the cosy dining room with other groups. Room arranged very sensibly to observe social distancing but without spoiling the convivial atmosphere. All the staff were very welcoming and friendly. A bonus was to take advantage of the Eat Out to Help out scheme. This experience highlighted the best of this scheme - showcasing lovely food in a welcoming but safe environment. Haven't visited for many years but will definitely be returning.

Not many places in Pembridge serving food on a Tuesday evening so The New Inn was quite busy. Menu is limited and the food is cheap and cheerful - fish and chips, chicken kiev and chips etc and a handful of specials on the board. Beer and wine good. Dogs allowed at outside tables only. Lovely atmosphere sitting at the tables at rear of the pub- hum of chatter and hearing the church clock chime

We recently visited Pembridge for a post-lockdown trip, as we wanted to avoid some of the common UK tourist resorts. Pembridge itself is a wonderful picturesque village, with some beautiful old buildings. From other reviews we were aware that finding a meal out on Mondays and Tuesdays could be a challenge, so we were delighted when we walked into the New Inn and found we were able to get a table for 2! The New Inn is an absolutely beautiful building, and the staff were all lovely, with excellent arrangements to ensure social distancing. My partner opted for the beef and ale pie, which he really enjoyed, and I went for the fishermans platter, which was also delicious. I would absolutely recommend a visit, it really is like going back in time.

A welcoming pub with the old market behind it. It may be called The New Inn but it is certainly not new as it dates back to around the 14th century. Bags of character with an eclectic mix of artifacts in the public bar and an open fire.

Popped in to The New Inn for a light lunch, in January. My Mother and I had not been in since the 70s and I don't think it has changed! This is a very good thing by the way.If you are in the Herefordshire/Welsh borders then this is a must visit. The landladies are extremely friendly, as was the lady behind the bar. We were the only ones there for lunch (not much happening in January, and the pub was about to close for a week's holiday). We were looked after very well, sat in front of a huge roaring fire, and the lunch was excellent- some of the best cheese I have tasted.Pembridge Market House and Church are also well worth visiting while you are there.

Always wanted to stop in this pretty village as we had always passed through before. We decided to have lunch here as the place looked so quirky from the outside . Was just as quirky inside -all uneven flag stone floors and an assortment of different shaped wooden tables and chairs in the small snug like bar . All the tables had fresh flowers on them and -joy of joys a great wood burning fire that was so very welcoming on a cold and windy day .I chose a glass of the palest Rose wine and my husband-who was driving had a soft drink while we perused the extensive menu .We finally decided on the battered fish chips and peas as recommended by our hostess and we were not disappointed. The chunky fillets of fish had been cooked in the lightest crispiest of batters and was delicious as was the large bowl of crisply fried chips that accompanied it .Ketchup -vinegar and tartare sauce were.also supplied and both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our food and felt so at home -we could have sat there all afternoon .

Family of 9 from Kent. Catered for everyone. Food delicious. Fast service. Bar a bit slow but the portions are good. Good tasty & amazing chips. Wish we found it a week ago when we arrived. Sadly left now but highly recommended

Saw the pub on the way through but the charming frontage can not be seen from the main road. 14th Century in every way. Cyclists stopping over for sandwiches in the bar so we went in the quirky dining room. Huge sausage sandwich with relish - best sausages ever from two of our party. Friendly ladies serving and cooking. Chips great too and beer well kept. Well worth a visit to see setting including old market and charming village.

Decided to step out for a qucik pint and chose the New Inn, the pub itself is very old and very quaint. The beer and wine were fine with average prices. The restaurant looked busy.

Very impressed with the quality of the food, the standard of service and the friendliness of the staff. To cater for 10 people, all having a different meal from a quite extensive menu, is sometimes difficult in restaurants, but not here. All the meals were served within a very short space of time. The food was hot, well cooked and beautifully presented. Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and the occasion. I highly recommend this venue. A very big thank you to all the staff for a lovely afternoon.

Staying in Pembridge so decided to visit the two pubs in the village. The red lion was nice but decided to try the new inn. Saw it was a restaurant but found the bar area that had a stone floor which we decided was better as we had a dog with us. Took ages to get served as the only bar maid was with what sounded like locals in the other bar. Finally got served with drinks. Never asked if we wanted food so as she was leaving the room to go outside we asked for menus and it was then that she saw the small dog we have. We were told they don't allow dogs but we could stay because there wasn't anyone in.

Visited this authentic inn on 24/7/18. Absolutely great. Food - especially the Pembridge Platter was plentiful and delicious. Wish we lived closer so we could visit again. Landlady - Jane, was a delight. Please don't change what you're doing. It's spot on.

Walked in and made to feel very welcome and it was genuine , ordered our drinks and asked for a menu , when the food came it was NOT small portions but it was excellent and not over priced the lady behind the bar was very nice and the young waitress was also very nice . It was an all round very nice experience and I would definitely recommend this pub for food , they also have a wide range of shorts as well as cask ales so pay them a visit so you can enjoy the friendly welcome and great food .

What a great find tucked away alongside the High Street in Pembridge, one of North Herefordshire’s glorious Black and White villages. We stopped on the spur of the moment to enjoy a cooling drink and sample the Sunday fare. And what a great decision that was. Margaret and I just went for the roast if the day - loin of pork, served with roast and new potatoes and fresh, seasonal vegetables. The meat was thickly sliced and succulent coming with a hank of superb crackling, a couple of crunchy roast potatoes, apple sauce, mustard and - a lovely touch - our own boat of gravy. All too often carved meat served up on Sundays comes sliced up on the plate and soaking in gravy, which can simply over power the joint. But The New Inn was having none of that. And it was proper gravy in the boat. Then along cane a mountain of crisply boiled new potatoes and a medley of freshly cooked al dente seasonal vegetables. And all with change from £24 (excluding the foaming beer which was well kept and touched the spot). As if a day tour through these enchanting Black and White Villages wasn’t rewarding enough - to stumble across such an olde world hostelry as well serving such excellent liquid refreshment and simple but bang-on country food all made for a memorable Sunday during this current spell of sweltering summer weather. You must try it. Five stars!!

A few days ago we drank coffee here. The hospitality was huge. The coffee excellent and the location is great, cozy very old and cozy. Now dined here. Nice again to be received so kindly. It is very cozy at the bar. The rib eye is very well prepared the onion rings and chips are good taste and the salad is depicted and very tasty. The price-quality ratio is excellent. We will definitely return.

We stopped here for a late lunch and received a warm welcome and excellent fish and chips. Service was prompt and considerate. The décor in need of refreshment, but offset by a pleasant view at the back. Ideal place for a 'pit stop'.

The Sunday roast was below average and tasteless. The empty restaurant said a lot and There was still no welcome from the lady behind the bar but the girls serving were excellent.

Amazing food and good cider! Had baguettes, chips and drinks for two for £20. Really good value as they are massive portions. Definitely worth stopping to speak to the lovely staff. Would come again if we were in the area again.

Booked an evening meal whilst staying in log cabin near by. Large portions of home cooked food, quick service and friendly and helpful staff. Reasonably priced, in fact we were surprised and were expecting to pay more for the quality. The decor is lovely as well, quite cozy on an autumn evening. Will definitely return next time we are in the area

Fantastic overall experience. Well presented pub with a fantastic atmosphere and great food! The majority of the food was handmade and it all tasted delicious. Very high quality food and large portions. We were encouraged to customise the food we ordered which is a big help to those who have specific dietary requirements. The member of staff that greeted us upon entering the Black Lion was very friendly and created a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back soon! Thank you!

Excellent meal, at good value. Lovely cheese scones & home made soup. The Antique centre above was also full of interesting pieces.

Very nice venue in an idyllic bit of Herefordshire, very close to the Wye. The pub opened specially for our group of around 20 (not normally open on winter Tuesdays) and the food was excellent. Alas our hostess Katie had a medical emergency that day and no desserts were on offer, but we will definitely return.
