The New Inn in Eden

Visited this pub 2 years ago and went back again this september 2024. Aaron and carolyn are great hosts and the food is well worth the trip. All cooked by carolyn herself. Main meals between £15 to £19 well worth the price good selection of beers. So if you are looking for a great meal in a lovely old style pub with beams and roaring fire this is the place to go.

Found this place on ‘Search for Sites’ App as required a motorhome stopover near to the A66. Delightful find with two very welcoming hosts Aaron & Carolyn. Lovely home cooked food consumed in front of a lovely log burner fire. Would highly recommend a visit if passing by or in the area. Car park small but we manoeuvred our 6.3m van into place for the night without much effort.

We were looking for a nice pub for lunch and came across this one. Ordered pork belly , lasagne and tuna/sweetcorn & mayo sandwich . Oh my , the food was bloody fantastic. My fussy pants friend 😂 requested roasties instead of mash (noooo problem ) - she said the pork belly was fab . The lasagne had big chunks of meat in it and was extremely tasty (comes with garlic bread too) and my tuna sarnie was packed with loads of tuna (the bread was really soft and fresh) and came with a side salad and crisps . The landlord and landlady were lovely , chatty and extremely accommodating. Would definitely go back xx

Absolutely amazing home cooked food in a lovely pub, with very friendly landlord/landlady. If you want a proper dinner then this is the place to go in Appleby.

A wedding anniversary day out for us. Walked from Appleby to Hoff and enjoyed beer and lunch here afterwards. The Sunday roast was absolutely delicious...lots of meat and such a fantastic variety of vegetables. We and our dog were given such a warm welcome. A real treat and highly recommended.

We stayed in our campervan on the car park overnight, enjoyed marvellous hospitality and a superb home cooked meal. A charming pub in a beautiful location with lovely and accommodating hosts. We would definitely recommend it.

Lovely welcome to a cosy pub, food was very good, very generous servings and great atmosphere. Would be very happy to book again. Coconut Tart was a topic of our chat with good fun and laughter with the great family run business

Dropped in for a quick drink after a walk and got a lovely welcome and a good pint. The food coming out looked great so we went back a few days later for a fireside dinner. We had really good homemade soup and pies. Very friendly little pub, we will make a point of going back next time we're in the area. I find Angela J's review rather odd as 'he' doesn't do the food, 'she' does and it's delicious!

We visit from the South regularly with our most recent visit being over the Easter Weekend. Whilst at home we wanted to book somewhere for Easter Sunday lunch ‘like mum makes it’ and it just had to be here. If you want a home-made, gorgeous, fresh Sunday lunch with an array of vegetables and trimmings with a warm, welcoming service then this is your place. Topped off this Easter Sunday with another couple of drinks in the arm chairs by the fire, with pub dog Ada at our feet. Thank you Arron & Carolyn for helping to make our Easter Sunday special. We can’t wait to come back on our next visit.

Lovely Sunday Lunch with gluten free lamb shank for my wife. Quaint old pub with very friendly owners and a good pint of bitter.

just had Sunday lunch here best sunday lunch ive had, loads of beef and a great selection of veg, all downed with a lovely pint of local ale served by the landlord and his wife who were great hosts, can't wait to go back.

I think Angela J was reviewing the wrong pub as she couldn't be more Wrong, In My Opinion !! Landlord & Landlady were both very friendly & welcoming when we called in on Saturday as they opened. Great, cosy country pub well worth stopping off at. We sat near the lovely open fire which was appreciated on a cold windy day. Lovely atmosphere and our lunch was outstanding. The Landlady makes everything fresh, her homemade soup was Amazing and our sandwiches were fabulous with great salad & Crisps on the side. Don't drive by, pay them a visit.

Fantastic original rural pub. Friendly staff with fantastic service. Food excellent, tasty and hot 👍🏻 lovely fireplace with warm welcome ambiance. 5*

Possibly the worst meals we have ever eaten. This guy cannot cook! Bits in bottom of beer glasses too. An expensive disaster. Disappointed to say the least.

We strolled towards the end of a rainy walk and weren't we glad we did! What a lovely surprise. Good beers, fire on and exceptional hosts. We were welcomed and catered for better than any pub we’ve ever been in. Don’t waste your time with any tourist information centres, if you want the best advice for trips and local tips then get yourself here. We throughly enjoyed our fleeting drop in. Oh I almost forgot, the beers were lovely. We didn’t have time for food but would definitely return!

Great stop off in our campervan. Beautiful picturesque pub in an amazing setting. Amazing home made food and extremely friendly and welcoming service. Great to see a steak pie that was actually a pie, and not a stew with a puff pastry lid! Couldn’t recommend the place highly enough.

Went to this place when staying nearby in our friends caravan, lovely old fashioned country pub, both had the lamb shank which was lovely, only criticism the mash was a bit lumpy, owners very friendly and informative about area, would definitely recommend if in the area

Warm welcome in a delight country pub. Excellent genuinely home cooked delicious Sunday lunch. Selection of local beers available. Dog friendly.

Looking for somewhere to eat at night . Came across New Inn on Tripadvisor. Arron and Margaret fantastic hosts. All food is cooked there and then; fresh and piping hot.Variety of local beers. Definitely recommend.

A very warm welcome at the Hoff. Good service and great little dog. First visit to this spot although we have passed it several times but will always top now

Lovely friendly spot and dog friendly too. Excellent home cooked food and a variety of beers to choose from. This pub is cosy on chilly days but beautifully cool today!

Had lunch here previously, but never an evening meal before. The food was excellent, both my Thai fish cakes and my wife’s lasagne couldn’t have been better. Good selection of beer, lager and cider with a well kept cask New Zealand pale ale too. Friendly landlord and landlady. Dog friendly as opposed to dog tolerant. Couldn’t be faulted, we shall return.

Stopped off here for a quick lunch on the way to Carlisle. Wide selection of beers. Very friendly landlady. We both had a ploughman’s lunch which were well presented and very imaginative. Wood burner very welcoming addition on a chilly day. Dog friendly. We shall return in an evening for something more substantial. An excellent find.

A warm welcome from the landlord and his wife, followed by a lovely lunch by the woodburner stove. We had beef lasagne with a nice salad/garlic bread and Westmorland sausage with mash and lots of vegetables. The dessert was black cherry and coconut slice and my other half had Eden mess ... both excellent. Easy to park opposite the pub.

The guys were so warming and friendly. The beer was kept well and served delicious. The food was amazing. Proper home cooked. Hotpot and lamb shank. Very clean plates. Thank you folks.

Found this gem of a place when satnav took us on an alternative route during a drive out. Beautiful location and the pub is very quaint. We were welcomed warmly by the landlord who was very knowledgeable about the area. We warmed ourselves by the log burner and met the owners cute dog before deciding on the homemade lasagne which was so tasty and served piping hot. We followed that with the Black cherry and coconut tart which was divine. Everything was homemade and cooked from scratch. Absolutely loved it and complimented the chef who was the landlords wife/partner(we presumed). Definitely will return.

the food was exceptional friendly staff nice location ambient surrounding just a lovely place to relax

We really enjoyed our Sunday Lunch at the New Inn at Hoff. The landlord was very welcoming and it was a friendly atmosphere from the onset. We also have a Border Terrier and their resident BT Ada and Ernie got on so well, it was lovely to see. I opted for the Lamb Shank at £15.95 whilst the better half opted for the Sunday Roast Beef Dinner at£12.95 both excellent value and so tasty. Both came served piping hot. The lamb was delicious and fell off the bone. An assortment of veg included, Parsnip, Roast and Mashed Potatoes, Brussels, green beans, mange tout, swede and courgette. With plenty of gravy and a home made Yorkshire pud…Devine… The landlord, forgive me for not asking his name, was very informative of the area we are staying and was such a nice guy, made us very welcome. The young waitresses was lovely too, Thankyou. We loved the comfort of the oak beams and cottage style decor, would imagine it very cozy with the log burner glowing on a colder day. We left room to share the Raspberry/ white chocolate Cheesecake which came with Lakeland Vanilla Ice cream, this was recommended by a lovely couple sitting next to us, they were on holiday and this was their 3rd visit…But hey, come and check it out yourself. Well worth a visit and this will be revisited by our good selves very soon.

This little gem is worth a detour for, it’s run by a friendly couple who are at the top of their game. It’s dog friendly and if you’re lucky you’ll meet their cute little pub dog too! Everything was cooked fresh; they talked us through the menu and were very knowledgeable about drinks. My husband really enjoyed his local Settle Brewery pints. The pub food was great, the lamb shank was the stand out. It’s a lovely historic setting, and on a colder rainy night the real fire (stove) was a welcoming touch. We just walked in but I can imagine that during the season you’d need to book ahead. Closed Mon/Tue.

What a gem, just had a super solitary lunch on a nice walk from Appleby via Bandley Bridge (which is not closed despite the bizarre sign that says it is!) Friendly owners, cute dog and a top notch ploughman's. Will be back!

Warm welcome, excellent home made pies, good porter on draught, apple and custard - what else do you need?

The New Inn is a very welcoming place. The owners are hugely friendly and accommodating. We had a great lunch at a good price, we will come back soon and highly recommend xxx

We have just had a fabulous meal in this friendly pub The star of the menu was the sponge pudding. So light it nearly floated. Carolyn is a great cook and hubby serves an excellent beer

From the moment we walked through the door we had a great experience. Very warm welcome. Food was fantastic, quick service and very hot. Would recommend visiting here. The owners were so lovely which added to our experience here. Thank you so much.

Great food and very warm welcome. We arrived after the main food menu had finished but they went out of their way to accommodate & feed us. Dog friendly.

Had a great chicken and ham pie, also everyone else enjoyed their meals. Added bonus of a cute dog. Very friendly owners and very accessible car park.

We were staying locally and found this pub on Google. We were not disappointed. This is a lovely, homely, traditional pub. The Landlord was very welcoming, chatty and friendly. The food was delicious, home made and piping hot. I cannot reccomend this place highly enough

Vimos el pub y los niños tenían hambre, así que decidimos parar. No conocemos el área y la última vez en los lagos fue muy difícil encontrar un lugar que sirva comidas veganas, sin embargo, sirvieron un maravilloso guiso vegano y admitieron perros. El personal no podría haber sido más amable a pesar de las medidas de distanciamiento social y nos sentimos seguros y bienvenidos. Recomendaría. Los niños también estaban felices con sus bocadillos. Iremos de nuevo si tenemos la oportunidad

Really enjoyed our visit here. Popped in after lunch service on a cold day towards the end of our walk. Really welcoming and very kindly produced sandwiches to go with very well kept beer. Don’t drive by, you’ll be disappointed not to have gone in.

Un pub histórico pequeño pero hermoso a las afueras de Appleby dirigido por sus propietarios, Arron y Carolyn. No se puede criticar: recibimos una cálida bienvenida y disfrutamos de una deliciosa comida casera preparada por Carolyn. Perfecto para sentarse junto al fuego de leña ardiente y dejar pasar el mundo.

Aparecimos para nuestra última cena después de quedarnos en una casa de campo en Knock durante unos días. Encantadora comida casera y caseros propietarios que conocían el área y los paseos que habíamos hecho y queremos hacer en el futuro, definitivamente lo recomendarían, ¡volveremos!

Realmente disfrutamos nuestro almuerzo aquí. Mi marido tuvo la cena de carne asada que dijo que era excelente y tuve el pastel de queso y cebolla que era encantador. Ambos servidos con puré y papas asadas con verduras servidas por separado. Las raciones eran grandes y los dos estábamos demasiado llenos para tener algún postre. Se apreciaba gente encantadora y estar sentados cerca del fuego, ya que era un día muy frío. Volveremos si estamos en la zona de nuevo.

Inviernos fríos por la noche, entró en un acogedor bar de personajes con un fuego rugiente. Derretido con una cerveza local y un gran vaso de rojo y gran hospitalidad de los propietarios. Buena comida e incluso mejor ambiente. Sin duda lo recomendaría y esperamos volver la próxima vez que estemos en la zona. También tuve algunos buenos consejos de los propietarios sobre lugares locales para visitar.

On the last day of our holiday a few weeks ago, the better half and I found this absolute gem of a pub. Great service, a pub dog (which we were asked if we were OK with first) good beer and frankly exceptional service. The landlord's local knowledge was commendable, and general manner was great. Now for the food. I had the Westmorland sausage, which was so good I went straight from the pub to go and buy some. My partner had the Cumberland pie - which is a dish we now enjoy frequently at home. As a chef I'm particularly picky with food and as far as home cooked pub food goes this is a winner all round. Combined with quality service, I recommend this place whole heartedly to anyone in the area.

Called in for lunch at last minute. Received a warm welcome. Owners friendly and hospitable and food lovely

Called for a meal while staying at the Dairy round the corner we were made very welcome with our dog and had a lovely lasagne cooked to perfection also had a nice chat with the owners who were very pleasant and easy to talk to we would definitely recommend it for a meal or just a stop for a drink and a chat if passing through such nice people here thank you for making us so welcome Terry & Sheila Greenwood

I call in here regularly for a couple of pints and occasionally food. It always feels like a proper pub with real ale and welcoming atmosphere. Real log burner in winter or sitting outside in the sun it feels like a home from home. Dog friendly and people friendly it's how all pubs should be.

We have eaten at the New Inn at Hoff several times over the last few weeks whilst on business in the Appleby area. The meals have been very good value for money and very tasty. The food is home cooked to order by Carolyn and a very warm welcome by Arron makes a visit very pleasurable. His knowledge of the area is extensive and we found very helpful. We had dinner there a few days ago with a couple of friends and we all enjoyed a nice evening with tasty food and good company.

The New Inn at Hoff what a wonderful little pub, so quaint and charming. My friends and I found this

I went with my family for Sunday lunch, we walked in to be greeted by a friendly gentleman, who took our drinks order and we received them quickly. We were then taken to our table to be greeted by a woman to ‘read out the menu’ her clothes from top to bottom were filthy. She took our order then went away. As conversation with the gentleman progressed we were informed that the chef was also the unhygienic looking woman. Our food came quickly, I had the roast beef, which was over cooked and dry and overall lacking in size and flavour. We were midway through our dining experience as the woman who had cooked our dinner walked through the pub with a scruffy looking dog in her arms. This wasn’t ideal having already eaten the majority of our meals, linking in with the fact that she wasn’t clean to start with arises questions about the cleanliness and the hygiene of the chef. We received our bill accompanied with a mint imperial each, I looked at the mints and they were all stained brown. I went on to complain to the gentleman about the state of the mints, he openly admitted the fact that they have a local farmer who comes in on an evening with dirty hands after work and dives straight into the bowl of mints. A very bad ending to an overall disappointing experience. Makes me wonder how on earth this pub has a high rating. Safe to see me and my family will not be returning to this dated, dirty establishment.

We were lucky enough to pop in whilst on a lovely walk around the Eden Valley.

We had an enjoyable lunch on a Thursday where there was a welcoming atmososphere from the owner and the pub was clean and comfortable. My wife had a local speciality and I had a salmon dish which was nicely presented. We also enjoyed our desserts which were strawberry cheesecake and bakewell tart respectively. We will be back...

Called in for a Sunday lunch, pub old and quaint. We had lamb shank which itself was well cooked but very small, the carrot and turnip had a very odd taste, the rest of the vegetables were in one dish and consisted of slices of raw carrot, yellowing broccoli, bits of leek and bits of courgette with lots of water in the bottom. Over priced for the small portion. Was disappointed to see the cook carrying a dog around then return to the kitchen. Felt the whole place would benefit from a good clean.

We stayed at The Old Dairy, just down the lane from the pub, with our boxer dog Lola and our property owners Frank and Sandra recommended we give the pub a try. We were certainly not disappointed as we received a warm welcome and the food was lovely. Pity we were only staying for four nights and unfortunately the pub is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays which were two of our nights but we will return especially as Lola will love to see Ada her little friend again.

A few weeks ago, my wife and visited "The New Inn" for a very pleasant and enjoyable "Sunday Lunch". The menu was an excellent Sunday selection complete with deserts. Yum, yum. Many, many, thanks. Carol & John F

We were advised to try this pub by the owner of our cottage the Dairy which is only situated 50 yards from the New Inn and we were not disappointed. The service and food were excellent, the menu was varied - good food Fantastic welcome by the landlord and landlady, a lovely atmosphere and tasty home-cooked food would highly recommend keep doing what you do.

We visted the New Inn at Hoff for our dinner. The food was faultless and incredibly scrummy. The Bakewell tart was superb and highly recommend it to anyone. The decoration was very welcoming especially with the raoring fire.

What a find! This place is beautiful. My husband really enjoyed his lamb shank, so tender, and my Cumberland Pie was absolutely delicious, very filling. The atmosphere was very pleasant with a lovely coal fire to warm us up. The staff were extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. This has been one of the best pubs that we have been to since arriving in England from Australia almost two weeks ago. Definitely worth a visit.

We were really looking forward to eating here as the reviews sound great although I’m now left wondering if there’s been a change in ownership as our experience was sadly disappointing.

Me and my fiancée were passing through Hoff and had agreed to meet some friends here who were staying nearby. We had a lovely meal (try one of the pies!) and the couple running the pub were very polite and accommodating, even with our dogs. Some nice local ales on the bar too. Will definitely be back when we're in the area.

Visited pub as part of our walk in the country... Great selection of drinks, friendly staff. It was lunchtime and no food being served however landlord kindly made us a couple of sandwiches which we really appreciated... Lovely pub!!!

We stopped at The New Inn at Hoff yesterday after having a leisurely drive around the area, we got a lovely warm welcome from the owners plus the added bonus of meeting their new 5 month old puppy. The inside is charming with little personal touches and the beer was great. Well worth a visit.

¡Pasamos por este pequeño y encantador pub el fin de semana anterior incluso antes de que se abriera! Decidí que era una buena ubicación para pasar, así que esperó 10 minutos. Me alegro de haberlo hecho, a pesar de que fuimos las únicas dos personas por un corto tiempo, el propietario nos hizo sentir muy bienvenidos y tuvimos un gran conocimiento sobre la historia local y el área en general. Nos fuimos con un montón de conocimiento y habíamos disfrutado de dos cervezas deliciosas. Definitivamente regresaremos nuevamente cuando estemos conduciendo. Hay algunos paseos encantadores alrededor, vale la pena una visita.

Came to visit friends living locally and we were recommended this little slice of heaven. If I lived closer, I'd have a new local. Hats off to them.

Went to this pub after reading lovely reviews, but very disappointed. Unfortunately, one person in our group left the gate open - it does have a sign asking not to leave it open but that is not an excuse for the owner’s wife to have pushed him out of the way and shout at the costumer. She ran after the dog, which was fine, and was still moaning when she got back and left the dogs upstairs - where they should be. We all had a pint, the atmosphere was horrible after the incident and also, the pub is very cold. We obviously gave up on having lunch there by then, and when we left, both the owner and his wife followed us to make sure the gate was open (think we got it by now, no need for that). They both shouted at us, the owner’s wife tried to slap us, they both threatened us, we were called idiots and to never come back (as if we would!). It’s not hard to ask politely to not leave the gate open. They have no idea how to run a business, absolutely no idea how to treat a customer and it looked like the owner’s wife was in her pyjamas. We should have called the police. Just don’t ever go in this pub.

Really nice friendly pub on the road to Appleby, room for bikes and cars. Good food and welcoming owners

Lovely welcoming pub with log burner, great homecooked pies, and friendly landlord and landlady. Highly recommend.

Fantastic welcome by the landlord and landlady, a lovely atmosphere and tasty home-cooked food. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Visitamos el New Inn at Hoff para el domingo almuerzo 14. 4. 19 Recibimos una encantadora bienvenida de Aaron, el propietario, ya que habíamos reservado para el almuerzo del domingo anterior por teléfono. . qué banquete la porción de carne asada fue abundante y también fue suculenta y bien cocinada por su esposa Carolyn, había una gran cantidad de verduras variadas, todas cocinadas a la perfección, había una buena selección de postres que también aprovechamos. Un ambiente encantador en un pub del país. Debo señalar que también tienen una bienvenida a todos los perros, lo que para mí fue una ventaja adicional. Bien, realmente conseguí el arreglo para mi perro ese día, que fue maravilloso. Detrás del aparcamiento frente al pub había todas las ovejas recién nacidas jugando en un montón de "tepes" en un día tan hermoso. . . . Gracias Aaron y Carolyn. Volveremos.

We live in Manchester and our friends in Newcastle. We chose the new inn as a half way place to meet for lunch. We could not have done better. We were made to feel very welcome by the friendly owners who were interested but never intrusive. The food was proper food. Home made from raw ingredients and delicious. We even discovered a new drink of orange and ginger _excellent. Worth going a few miles out of your way for a charming, friendly country pub.

Called on the off chance of getting some Sunday late lunch enroute home to the Midlands... what can we say other than what a wonderful reception and accommodating couple... nothing was too much trouble and the food was amazing. We shall be back... thankyou!

Since moving to Great Asby in Cumbria, my husband and have found this gem of a pub in Hoff, Appleby. The food is excellent, the roast beef is a treat we look forward to on a Sunday. Good portion of delicious beef with all the trimmings including seasonal veg. Home cooked puddings to complete the experience. What makes The New Inn a great place to be, is the warm, friendly owners, Aaron and Carolyn. Always welcoming and they go the extra mile, giving excellent service and helpful tips on the local area. We love this pub restaurant and would highly recommend it. Our first visit, being new to the area, Aaron came out after we left, to let us know a short cut home. You can't help but want to go back. Well done to them both! The pub is warm, cozy and run professionally and yet make it feel like a home from home. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Booked here as we were staying in the area. Lovely quaint family run pub offering home cooked food and delicious Sunday Lunch. Very hospitable proprietors who were welcoming and friendly. Roaring fire contributed to a lovely visit

My wife and I and two friends enjoyed Sunday Lunch here yesterday. The menu offers two roasts and a selection of home made pies and ne or two other options. We chose the roast beef and we weren’t disappointed. The meat was succulent and the vegetables, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding beautifully cooked. A good selection of sweets followed and were delicious. The owners, Carolyn and Aaron, provided a very friendly welcome and they both looked after us during our meal. Overall, an excellent experience.

Hoy visitamos el New Inn at Hoff para el almuerzo. Muy pocos pubs en el área de Appleby abren a la hora del almuerzo un miércoles. (¡Incluso menos están abiertos los lunes o martes!) Tuvimos una maravillosa bienvenida por parte de los propietarios, aunque solo había una cerveza de ale disponible. Las nuevas entregas habían llegado pero aún no se habían resuelto.

No puedo recomendar el establecimiento lo suficiente. La comida es excelente, casera sin lugar a dudas, hermosas cenas de asados, Lasaña increíble, y la semana pasada tuve el mejor gulash casero de Hungría que he probado en mi vida. Los dueños encantadores Aron y Carolyn siempre te dan una cálida bienvenida y te hacen sentir como en casa, donde puedes sentarte frente a una hermosa chimenea. Las mascotas son muy bienvenidas, siempre llevamos a nuestros 2 perros que aman sentarse frente al fuego después de una larga caminata de invierno. Arron y Carolyn son una mina de información sobre el área y siempre ofrecen excelente información sobre caminatas y caminatas. Si vas aquí ciertamente no te decepcionará.

Llevamos a nuestros huéspedes como solía ser un agradable pub en una caminata redonda desde Appleby hasta Ormside.

The New Inn at HOFF cerca de Appleby es un maravilloso y tranquilo pub que ofrece auténtica cerveza junto con las cervezas tradicionales. Hay acceso para discapacitados y el pub es apto para perros y familias, los almuerzos y las cenas se sirven seis días a la semana y solo las cenas se sirven los lunes.

Called for a pint with my Wife while staying nearby at a caravan site. Small traditional pub and restaurant. Landlord very friendly and good to chat to, even gave us a free glass of sloe gin to try. Will call again if in the area

Stopped for a sneaky pint or two at this pub on a circular walk from Appleby. Decent beer and good craic. Thank you guys!

Small pub on the outskirts of Appleby. Nice friendly landlord who keeps a good pint. Food was okay but could be better. Lumpy mash and gravy made from granules wasn’t good for the prices charged. Sausage and mash is as simple as it gets, but taking time to make “Proper” gravy (freeze it in small portions) would make all the difference. Sausage itself was a good quality butcher made affair which kind of saved the day

What a gem! This place is tucked away but on 4 different walking routes! We have had lunch twice and went back for Sunday Dinner because we were so impressed with not only the food but the friendly service we received from Carolyn and Aaron. We were not disappointed! A real choice of meals and everything we had was Home made and delicious, a party of 13 came in while we were there and they were served without a batted eye and all seemed to enjoy too. Definitely recommend, we’ll be back.

Having read all the reviews we decided to try for ourselves whilst holidaying in the area. I could not fault this place. From the warm reception from the owners to the superb quality of the food served my wife and I were truly impressed. The first thing that struck us was the traditional beamed, quaint, olde world feel to the place. We both had an excellent pie with beautifully prepared veg, so good we cleared the plate. Having read about the ginger pudding I decided to try it. It was sublime. My wife always goes for a lemon pud and she loved the lemon torte.

We were advised to try this pub by the owner of our caravan site and we were not disappointed. The service and food were excellent, the menu was varied - good food with a modern twist, so much more than expected in a countryside pub. We enjoyed it so much that we booked to go back the following night. The atmosphere was happy with very friendly staff, a chef that took time to talk to us and quite a few interesting jovial locals. Would definitely recommend.

Having completed a circular walk to take in Rutter Force we arrived at the pub very ready for a drink. The welcome was incredibly good and the owner gave us the low down on the local beers before we decision which one to go for which was great. Very reasonably priced two.

Visited in July by chance, the wife was hungry so we stopped for a bite to eat, I was absolutely overwhelmed by the happy, friendly welcome we got from the landlord.

We were renting a holiday cottage close to this pub and were disappointed to find on arrival that it was temporarily not serving meals as the owner/chef had fallen ill and been hospitalized. On the last night of our holiday, we called in to see if it was still closed and were told that it was due to open for food the following evening. 10 minutes later we had a knock on the cottage door to say that the chef would be more than happy to cook a meal for the two of us, which she did. It was absolutely delicious. Definitely service beyond the call of duty!

This place was recommended to us and despite us having a not so good experience two years ago we booked with our family for an evening meal.

We ate here on our first night in the area on the recommendation of the owner of our holiday accommodation. It was a short walk down a bridle path which brought us out at the back of the pub.

It would be so easy to drive past this little country pub but so glad we decided to give it a try. Just 5 mins drive from Appleby in Westmoreland where we were staying. Menu had a nice mix of classic pub staples and other interesting dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals: quality at reasonable prices with good service plus a warm welcome from the landlord and his wife. Next time we are in the Lake District we will definitely be paying another visit. Elky from Edinburgh

This is without doubt one of the best pubs we have ever drank / eat in , Arron and his wife were so hospitable and the beer and food were superb we will be back Andy and Helen

Having enjoyed many a visit to The New Inn, Hoff, near Appleby, and the company of the hosts, Carolyn and Arron, I decided to approach them with a view to preparing a surprise meal for my wife’s birthday. Carolyn and Arron were only too happy to oblige and went out of their way to help create a special menu for our party of four. The food was superb, the hosting excellent, and the ambience convivial. As always the food was of the of the highest standard; we have enjoyed many a Sunday lunch at The New Inn, Hoff. We highly recommend this ‘gem’ in The Eden Valley, Cumbria. We will back, again and again.

We had Sunday lunch, nothing to write home about. Crowded tables, not a pub, no room to stand at the bar and chat. What Can I say, wouldn’t go back if you payed me!

Lovely home made food. My husband especially enjoyed his pie and my naturally gluten free Sunday lunch was absolutely delicious with a bonus of my first gluten free draught lager - also delicious. Very friendly landlord and Chief Cook and Bottle Washer, Arron and Carolyn. Couldn't fault a thing. Would definitely recommend and return. Also really good value for money.

Lovely little pub, Barman and Chef lovely hosts - food was beautifully simple and loving made with great flavour and felt like a home from home, what I would argue is needed after a long walk! Thank-you so much - will be returning when we come to visit family again!

Currently on holiday and have just enjoyed a wonderful meal.

We recently visited Appleby for a week , visiting the New inn on the Wednesday, the food was so good we went back on the Friday.

Extremely friendly landlord and wife. Good relaxed atmosphere with delicious food. Will certainly return again when on the area.

Soup lovely but the daytime offering was pretty and expensive for sarnies, nice barman and good for a drink. But wouldn't eat again

We called in for tea mid walk and got a warm welcome (literally - the stove was going) and drink and dessert. Friendly and knowledgeable owners who had lots of nice stories and useful tips for other places to visit. We were really pleased we stopped by.
