The New Inn in Bedford

Another fantastically delicious dinner! I had the chicken curry which was full of meat, the best rice I’ve eaten, in a beautiful curry sauce, served with poppadums and a mango chutney. Followed by cake - again delicious. They make the best cake ever! My husband had a guiness goulash served with rosti’s. I did taste his too - which didn’t fail to be anything other than delicious!Just love this place, from the moment you step inside, a warm and welcoming place to be! Already looking forward to our next visit!

We booked for a belated 1st anniversary meal (we have only been together twenty three and a half years)Every time we visit this restaurant the welcome from the team is warm with nothing to much trouble and the food is always fantastic. Today was no exception. Jenny had the chicken curry which she said was one of the best she had ever eaten and the rice definitely was the best she has ever had. Hi praise indeed as she is an excellent cook herself as my fat belly bares testament. She followed this with a raefiell cake which as always was super light and delicious. I was not allowed a taste so it must have been good. I had the Guinness beef goulash with potato Rosti delicious. We cannot wait to return for more excellent food. Thank you all at the New Inn.

Visited before lockdown, excellent food as always. Beef goulash, ribs and sea bass faultless. Will be back again as soon as possible when we come out the other side

Living quite locally in Rushden we decided to take a walk to The New Inn....... covid 19 was priority to all eateries and here was no different. We arrived and left all details before ordering drinks and reserving a table. The service was ok - we were 3rd in the queue ordering drinks which was a 7 minute wait - no big deal - the bar has a great supply of gins and beers so took me 6 minutes deciding which gin I wanted!! After being shown our table the service was good and the food even better! My partner ordered the sea bass and I had the Gorgonzola chicken both which were really tasty - everything was cooked beautifully! If you happen to be in the area I would recommend you call in - you won't be disappointed! I definitely will be returning - well done to everyone at The New Inn!

We took advantage of the last day of fine summer to book for lunch and eat a table outside. Although we didn't go inside beyond the bar, it was clear that distancing had been carefully planned. The tableware was recyclable single-use, the paper menu's same.With three courses, the service was impeccable. The food is home cooked with interesting combinations. (My starter was deep-fried black pudding.)It was a bonus to have "eat out to help out" 50% reduction - but we'll be going back anyway.

The venue is tastefully decorated and the staff very welcoming. The menu is varied and interesting with very reasonable prices. The food was absolutely delicious. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. One veggie burger, one Angus burger, chicken gorgonzola, a super salad and a beef goulash. All pronounced as being great. Desserts to die for! All home made and amazing. Will be returning soon.

Fantastic village pub. Recently had a little refurb during lockdown and looks lovely in there now. Great service and fantastic home cooked food. Covid secure (hand gel on entry, asking for contact details for test n trace, staff wearing masks, using disposable gloves to clear away and wiping tables and chairs throughly).Highly recommend the gorgonzola chicken and pear main and also leaving room to squeeze in a homemade cake that the pastry chef has made!

Tried this restaurant after seeing reviews like "wow, wow, wow" Found the staff friendly and welcoming, food however, ok, but not too memorable. The real shocker was the bill. For £105 for 3 people, I would have expected a much better experience for this sort of price tag. Bog standard Pinot £19. No wine list available so you can't see the prices first. Nice enough people, nice building, but far too pricey for what you get. I'm afraid I won't be returning.

We just came back from a lovely Sunday lunch at this pub. Upon entering, there’s a hand sanitiser station, and we were asked to write our details on a notepad. We were quickly shown to our table, and the drinks order taken. The staff are constantly sanitising themselves and everything they touch. They wear masks and gloves when at your table, or when bringing your food/drinks. Cutlery and napkins are brought on a big plate, and left on your table for you to handle yourselves. We had the halloumi sticks, roast beef and the brownie. Every dish was delicious! Beautifully presented and very generous portions of beef! A nice crispy Yorkshire and seasoned veg. If I had any criticism, the roast potatoes weren’t quite crispy enough but this is entirely forgiven by the fact all the dishes are hand prepared and home cooked, no Aunt Bessie’s here! We left full and happy and will definitely be back. If you’re in the area and are able to support a local pub, you’ll not be disappointed.

Went for a family meal last night here last night following recommendation. It’s a gem of a place! The family that run the pub all get involved and it’s fabulous!The food is delicious- far over and above that you expect from pub food - the care, attention , presentation and quality is sublime. The portions are plentiful and amazingly they will adapt to suit allergens or tastes if possible. I can’t stand capers and my sea bass was listed as with caper sauce so I requested it be omitted. Not only did they leave it out but prepared a different one for me.The men had the big meat grill which was great- funnily enough they don’t serve a steak meal but they don’t need to.Desserts were to die for- I had sticky toffee pudding! Oh my word! Other desserts tried were the cappuccino cheesecake and lemon cheesecake. All were delicious!Thank you for your smiles and such gorgeous food. We will return

Attractive village pub on an awkward road junction, not far from Santa Pod. Only one real ale (Wherry) when we were there but well kept. The 3 piece set lunch was a bargain at under £20 p.p. My pork dumplings were crisp and coated in fried onion; my partners beetroot carpacchio was tasty. We both liked the curry of the day - chicken - with poppadums, mango chutney and rice. The dessert we had was a plum crumble , not overcooked to jamminess, and nicely sharp with a vanilla ice. Good service, surroundings and not too crowded. A thumbs up from us both!

Had a lovely Sea Bass which was cooked dairy free, was told I could order anything and they would accommodate my intolerance. All cooked fresh to order, nice ambience, good ale.

When sticky toffee pudding became "the pudding" I always found it to be extremely disappointing no matter where.... Bland, boring, never sticky and never tasting like toffee so I stopped ordering it years ago. What an absolute treat to finally (after all these years!), find a chef who knows exactly what it should taste like......to die for! Proper homemade pudding, absolutely scrumptious.Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, veg and tasty gravy, lovely. Generous portion, well presented, served on hot plates be and stayed hot until the end.Excellent value for money and friendly helpful owner.We will be back asap

Very pleasant surroundings- friendly staff. I really enjoyed my meal of haloumi sticks & beef goulash. One starter though of garlic prawns really needs some crusty bread with it, that was the most disappointing one but apart from that 6 of us enjoyed - would return although quite pricey

This is a lovely pub in a great setting. The staff were welcoming and the food was freshly made and great prices.The fish and chips and children’s food a good portion. The scotch egg and chicken creaser salad the best I have had for a long time.Very interested in returning in the evening and for Sunday lunch.For pub food the presentation was a very good quality.

This is our local village pub and although we’ve popped in for a drink in the garden in the Summer we’ve never eaten in there as we never thought it was that great; how wrong we were!! we’ve just had a great meal in here tonight. We were made to feel very welcome from the second we stepped in. Staff were friendly and attentive. There was loads to chose from off the menu but we went for the beef pasta ragu and the chicken in a gorgonzola sauce and new potatoes. The food was beautifully presented and tasted equally as good. The deserts were varied too but we chose a lemon meringue cheesecake and a strawberry and vanilla cake. Again all really yummy.We will definitely return and would recommend to anyone unsure.

We decided to go out for Sunday lunch to the New Inn, Wymington (nr Poddington), Rushden. We were not disappointed. Good service. Great food. All fresh. They have done wonders to the pub itself with a beautiful outdoor garden. Lots of seating all set in lush surrounds. Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Thank youJulie and Ali

We lack good quality pubs in our area, especially those that offer food. The New Inn has all the right ingredients, lovely location, garden and internal area. A good deal of investment has gone in. It is lacking though, there is no pub atmosphere, behind the bar the staff are sterile and non-engaging, it doesn't cost anything to smile!The food was also a let down, all 5 of us were completely underwhelmed for what was average food for above average prices. One of our party's food was smaller than the child portion his daughter had.We also suspect the cheese on the cheeseboard may not have been quite what was advertised, they were bland, rubbery and as a result very overpriced. Sorry, but I wanted to give this 5 stars, but I just can't, the food and atmosphere just let it down.

Very over priced! No choice on lager! Massive queue at the bar, 3 members of staff at the bar and only 1 serving at his own pace!!! Rude staff. We bought 5 drinks 2 lagers and 3 small soft drinks cost about £20!!! This used to be a lovely place to sit on a Saturday afternoon, it had a play area for the kids, food was great! Now it’s an over priced, child unfriendly place. It is not marketing itself to the locals that loved going there. It is cashing in on the upper market Santa pod events.

Expensive food and especially drinks...landlord was rude with a take it or leave it attitude. Beer was off and overpriced, mixers and soft drinks out of this world prices....in an empty pub and restaurant ...I wonder why that is.This property was 100% better when Cory and her family had it....great beers and good wholesome food at real world prices....

At long last, a decent pub near Rushden! We’ve eaten here on a number of occasions, the menu isn’t vast (always a good sign - no microwaves here) but caters for all tastes and the food is superb and reasonably priced. Beautiful location with a nice garden but equally as lovely inside. In all, great place that offers good food at very reasonable prices. Can’t quite believe that someone reviewed the staff as poor - in my experiences they’ve always been attentive, polite and welcoming. We’ve noticed that it’s getting busier every week and there is a reason why, booking is advised.

Would like to say the service and food was exceptional. Best Rostis and aunt said the fish was great ! Thank you -

the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious and well presented will defineatly go back

Came down to the New inn because it’s the local one to us, nice Saturday evening and hoping for a bite. Drinks are okay, two gins and two pins for £16, which isn’t amazing but good considering it’s walking distance from us. Ordered some food, 4 meals £50, food is lovely - burgers good quality and fish well cooked and fresh, would highly recommend. However, the staff really ruined this experience. They’re clearly understaffed and the staff are rude as a result. Removed some lavender from the table as my daughter is really allergic, had four staff tell us that we shouldn’t have done it, should have asked permission etc etc. Their attitudes are appalling, and this put us off staying longer for more drinks after our meal. Such a shame, as this will put us off coming back again.

New inn in Wymington worth a visit great food lovely new owners & makes a change from a chain restaurant with no soul!

Excellent food and service will definitely go back again So friendly, helpful bar staff excellent Lovely decor and gardens

Stopped for a quick coffee and a pint of Abbot ale here to allow time for the rain to finish during a 16 mile circular walk. The ale was very good, as was the coffee but the 2 staff that were working seemed somewhat overworked and a bit harassed.

Called in the new inn pub on way back from Santa pod would highly recommended friendly guy served us and food is of a high standard would definitely return

Once again another fantastically well cooked food and wonderful service. Do yourself a favour and give this place a try.

Had a meal with starters. 3 of us, we had a burger, meat platter and goulash . Meals were tasty, well presented and reasonably priced. For a village pub it is excellent value and a great atmosphere, good for families.

Family group of 17 went to the New Inn for a Sunday Christmas Lunch earlier in December. Unfortunately the food (minus the Turkey which was well seasoned and warm) was either cold (Roast Potatoes, vegetables), bland (Stuffing, Veg) or raw (Pigs in Blankets). Food was also served on cold plates and several main meals were returned to the kitchen to be reheated.

Went their for a family Sunday lunch, three of us had the roast beef which was excellent, one of us had the salmon rosti, which was very tasty.

Had Sunday dinner here with my mother. She had turkey and requested no gravy, it arrived with no gravy. (You will be surprised at how many places ignore that request).

nice traditional village pub, very cosy, good food- well presented, very clean pub- well looked after, nice big car park. had splendid time in pub!

I live a minute away from the New Inn and was delighted when I saw the work done on refurbishing it exteriorly and interiorally. Unfortunately the lunch did not match up,and was a big disappointment. First we had to queue at the bar to order, and the service was very slow.I had fish and chips, the fish looked reconstituted and the chips cheap frozen, no where near the standard I would have expected and certainly nowhere near the standard in surrounding pubs.My daughter had the Caesar salad. Her comment was it was the worst one she has ever had. It was accompanied by dry toast. I had asked for a soda water and lime. This was served in a big unshaped pint glass. My daughter had a coffee, and the bill came to just under £30.

Having visited The New Inn with my family some time ago, we were really impressed and felt assured that a future visit was definitely on the cards. However, upon my visit with friends this time around, it was immediately noticeable that it has changed hands. Little and undesirable selection of starter choices and limited availability on the mains. Weirdly tasting Vegetable soup for starter with stale bread, and butter that you couldn’t spread. Overcooked meat and what I think were ‘aunt Bessie’ roast potatoes, I don’t have these at home, I certainly don’t want them when I’m paying. Over charged on the receipt... we were the only table in there, so unsure how a mistake could happen, it’s not like they were rushed off their feet and menu has set prices for 2 courses. Dessert selection was nothing to be desired. Felt embarrassed to have recommended this place to my friends.

My family and I went to this pub for a Sunday birthday lunch.. I had read a couple of negative reviews and was a bit concerned but there was no need to worry. We had three courses for £20.00, very good value for money. The portions were generous and there was a good choice of vegetarian options. I had the chickpea and roasted beetroot burger, with avocado hummus. I left the bun and some chips but that is normal for me, next time I might just have the main and the dessert.. my family all had meat, one beef, one pork and two chicken, they all said it was delicious. .. The desserts were lovely my lemon and lavender gateaux was amazing! The staff were attentive and polite. Lovely garden to sit in but it was very hot so we sat inside. I would go back.

Visited for a breakfast treat as we did not want to cook. There was not a gluten free breakfast option so I decided to have a Ceser salad (without croutons) and paid extra for grilled chicken to be added. Other half had the breakfast and paid extra for extra slice of bacon and extra sausage. Both meals arrived in good time, we were the only customers in the pub at the time. There seemed to be a problem with the card machine and other people arriving were have difficulties paying. Next the bar tender said they were completely out of Guinness and one of the largers . I thought this was odd as it was England v Croatia today, why would you be out of beer? The tap in the ladies toilet was broken, stuck on and the general look of the place was tired and unloved. The staff seemed to be very stressed out and it seemed thence in atmosphere, a few staff members seemed to be arguing in a different language perhaps having a disagreement. The meals were OK but I felt overpriced and the service was strained as there seemed to be lots going wrong behind the scenes. Disappointed with this my first ever visit.

We’ve popped in for a bite to eat this eve and a drink in the lovely garden. We were very disappointed in the food we got. I ordered the cheese and ham sandwich which was fairly pricey at over £8 but had visions of lovely crusty ciabatta with thick ham on the bone and chunky cheddar. No! The bread was hard and stale , the ham was wafer thin processed slices and the cheese was dairylea rubber slices out the plastic!!! Horrified was an under statement, how can you charge over £8 for that? The burger was nearly as bad, husband couldn’t eat it. I spoke to a couple of regulars and they said the Sunday lunch was also pretty rubbish. Won’t be going back

As it was a lovely evening, we decided to go for a walk, and have a meal and a drink at The New Inn. (We rang to make sure the kitchen was open) I`ve always liked the pub, mainly because they do a good pint of Abbot. The interior has been changed slightly, and the smaller eating area has been redecorated and looks much brighter. What was a, if I remember correctly, serving counter in front of the kitchen, is now a small bar. They are still changing things and plan to extend the kitchen, so the menu will change to reflect this, consequently the menu is n`t as extensive as they would like. Nonetheless, my wife (gluten and dairy free) had grilled chicken , salad and chips, which she enjoyed. Myself and the boy had burger , chips, coleslaw, onion rings and enjoyed them thoroughly. We spoke to the landlord and told him how much we enjoyed our visit, which seemed to please him. So, we`ll certainly be back.

We have just visited this pub because it was recommended and I must say we have just eaten the best homemade meal. Fantastic service, and portion sizes were just right. If you appreciate good quality food then you will not be disappointed with this place.

Recently I visited this establishment. Wow! A new landlord; new ideas; and new approach. Thank you for making our dining pleasant. We will be back for sure! Good luck!!!

There is a new landlord in the New Inn, opened yesterday, he is friendly, helpful and a perfect landlord, also they have a new menu, a realistic menu at realistic prices, no fancy gourmet food just good food and great prices. Good luck in this venture, I will be a regular

We drove past the New Inn the day before our visit, and thought that as we hadn't been for a while and had heard that it had been refurbished we would call in for a drink on bank holiday Monday. We were disapponited with the service...it was busy, but there was only one person serving( I think it was the landlord). This, we thought was unfortunate for him, maybe a member of staff had let him down. I have worked in the pub industry and it's hard work, so we were willing to make allowances. That is until my partner, feeling a little sorry for him, suggested that maybe he could do with some help, and the landlord's response was 'No, it's ok, if they are thirsty enough, they'll wait'. Needless to say we didn't bother to stay any longer. We live locally and we would have loved it to be our 'local pub' but I can't see that we'll ever be 'thirsty enough' in the near future!!

If you're looking for a pub with rubbish service, a rubbish range on nearly empty shelves and staff that only want to serve the regulars then this is the place for you. Anyone else, just give it a miss.

Four of us dined at The New Inn to celebrate my wife's birthday. Corrie and Jody done us proud. Everything was perfect. Thank you.

This evening my wife and I with a female friend went to the pub, the visit was spoit by a group of youngsters who were very loud and used offensive language. There were small children present as well as more mature customers, I include myself in this group. I am sure if the bar man had spoken to those responsible they would have moderated their behaviour and every one would have enjoyed the evening, we certainly left earlier than intended.

I have lived close by to this pub for nearly 20 years, and had not visited before. I had heard good things from neighbours about it, plus I had to book to get a table, so I was somewhat reassured. We arrived with our two guests and parked the car easily, and inside were greeted in a really friendly way. We ordered drinks and sat at our table, with each one of us then ordering something different. Without long waiting times, we were all very happy with our choices from the menu and can all attest to hot food with perfect meat, really well cooked potatoes, great vegetables and you could almost think it was home cooked. We will return here, especially as it is a dog friendly pub. Recommended!

Met with friends, the steaks were really good. The only fault we could find was that our plates were stone cold! No attempt had been made to heat them even a little bit. Perhaps something for the staff to think about?

Lovely surroundings,helpfull polite staff and great food. The food was served quickly,came out hot and was really tasty. Would highly recommend to anyone and will be returning soon.

The staff are very welcoming and helpful as well as the food being brilliant. Very good value for money on food and drink!

Went for a pre-Christmas meal. Food delicious. Lovely atmosphere. Good value. Will go back, definitely.

Lovely meal good value and lovely atmosphere. New owners have lifted this place to a new level. Now a great local and fab country pub must visit.

Went to the New Inn today for the first time where we had the Sunday lunch and I have to say it was excellent. The service was very good; we were not rushed at all and the time between courses was just about right giving us plenty of time to catch with friends we had not seen for quite a while.

A little bit hesitant after reading a couple of reviews about staff being rude? well we found all of the staff most polite and very helpful and cheerful,the menu was not massive but enough to please most people,four of us all had something different to eat and we all enjoyed what we had as with the sweet's,plenty of real ale's to choose from if you are into them.

We've been living in Wymington for 7 months and have visited for a drink but never to eat. Why have we waited so long? Not an extensive menu but there were some excellent choices, typical 'pub fare' and a few specials. I had the roast pork loin (excellent crackling), the Husband had rump steak and the Father had cod and chips. Everything was beautifully cooked and presented. Real mash, proper onion rings, and leftovers for the dog. We all really enjoyed it and will definitely eat there again.

Ate here for a birthday dinner, food was not what we had ordered, well done steak was rare and manageress was extremely rude, will not be coming back. After speaking with friends afterwards find that this is not an isolated incident.

Popped in for a drink. Lovely! Sat outside and relaxed in the beer garden. Lovely location. Menu looked good, didn’t eat this time but for being served looked great.

Good example of bad management no idea how to run a business. No customer service skills, ignored when walking in even though the place was empty as though we were doing them a favour! Change management then we would go back.

This was my first visit to The New Inn which has recently been refurbished. The decor is very nice and the overall look is welcoming. A friend and I ate at around 1.45pm on a Thursday. The food took a while to arrive but was nice when it came. The lasagne portion was huge and really tasty. The steak sandwich was also good, with plenty of steak. Just one small comment is that the sandwich was made with thinly sliced packet bread. Two slices from a bloomer or tiger bread would have been much better. Overall, our experience was good and we would go back.

Amazing Sunday Roast , plenty of everything . Roast pork cooked to perfection and a good selection of veg including cauliflower cheese. Would highly recommend the food .

This pub is the best around at the moment, it's been refurbished to a very high standard, and has had thousands spent on it, and not just spruced up ( as in a previous comment) admittedly the staff maybe finding there feet a bit at the moment, as they have only just taken over but always go out of their way to ensure the food is right

A visit to this pub that has been given a make over in recent times. It is an improvement but is now not quite there to give it a 5 star rating. A good range of beers and ciders are available but the food side is a bit slow and the menu is very limited. the food is great but they need to be a bit of more adventurous. I am sure it will improve in time.

Walked 3 miles to get here and it was well worth it. Lovely garden which we sat in while our lunch was cooked until it started to rain. Obviously then had to eat inside and this was not a problem - we were quickly found a nice table to sit at. Fabulous food - the Brie and Beetroot Tart was delicious. Decor and atmosphere lovely. Will definitely be back ( even though we got caught in a hailstorm on the way back )

3 friends visited today. Freshly cooked and well presented food. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, large outside eating area. Will definitely visit again

Lovely pub, new owners have done it proud. Nice place to take the kids, food is great. It's our local and it's great to be able to pop and have have a nice drink in the garden while the kids play and to have some lunch

We had heard the pub had been spruced up and that there was a new kitchen menu so decided to give it a try.

We visited early on a Saturday evening

We'd noticed that this pub had been spruced up and hoped for good things. Sadly we were disappointed. There were no menus on the tables and eventually we had to go and ask for these. When ordering drinks we were told they didn't do espresso, only Americanos. Bit odd given that an americano is espresso with added water! Soft drink selection was a bit limited- they didn't even have tomato juice.

Four of us booked Sunday Dinner and what a delight it was. A warm welcome from the Landlord and staff. Excellent pint of Abbot ale.The pub was very popular and although very busy we soon shown our table. The choice of starter was a delight and four hungry people had a most enjoyable three course Sunday Roast dinner. Everything was freshly cooked. 10/10 a go to place for Sunday dinner.

Really nice Sunday lunch.Good size portions which were cooked well with a variety of choices for starter main and dessert.Service was good and the pub was friendly and welcoming.Not quite as competitive as some other local establishments but definitely worth the extra.

one of the best Sunday luches around. staff very friendly and meal was cooked to perfection. We also had a pudding which again, was superb. Abbot ales served at the bar. Will definately return, not only for the quiz but for sunday lunch as well.

The New Inn is a pub situated in the heart of Wymington and use to be one of 2 pubs in this pretty little village.With a decent sized car park to the rear and a large garden The New Inn is a pub with bags of potential.We have visited here on at least 6 occasions previously and have eaten here twice,the food being of an average offering however the prices are very reasonable.Service has always been good whenever we have visited.Their menu serves up mains,light bites,a menu for children as well as sandwiches and baguettes.A decent typical village pub.Visited 2016 June.

I first frequented The New Inn over 10 years ago and have been back several times since.The New Inn offers a decent menu at affordable prices.There is a decent sized car park at the rear as well as a large garden too.It is a typical village pub and use to be one of two pubs in Wymington until a few years ago.A real old traditional pub that is a little rough around the edges but full of character.Visited June 2016
