The New Inn Pub & Restaurant in South Kesteven

Went for meal, gammon was so salty and under cooked . Other food ok . Never got asked if wanted more drink. We did the math on splitting the bill, dont think it was checked ! Seemed annoyed that we had booked for 6 of us but only 4 made it . Place was empty so was not like we took up extra covers . Been before and was made to feel welcome . This time felt like we were an annoyance . Won’t be back .

We arrived at this lovely pub it is a very friendly place and the bar area is really nice We ordered food and ate in the bar area The good is not good here Very over fried and not much taste our meal let the pub down as the atmosphere and staff were great

Went with friends to this lovely little Pub and we were pleasantly surprised very good choice on the menu The fish pie was to die for piping hot and full of ingredients also the steak pie looked special and the staff was very attentive all this for a reasonable price will be returning in the near future

Lovely presented and tasty food. Very good portions and would highly recommend Something for everyone. Helpful friendly even though very busy.

Wow, wow, wow!! What can we say, the New Inn have just done the buffet and bar for our granddaughter's 21st birthday party in the village. The buffet provided was out of this world, the selection of food on offer, the quality and quantity provided were outstanding. Everyone at the party commented on the food and couldn't believe the spread. Brian and Leo provided a fabulous bar service with many guests enjoying the rare opportunity to try Thistly Cross cider. A massive thank you to Kate for everything she has done. X

A potentially good pub ruined by TV screens. I can watch sport at home. Pubs are for food, drink and conversation.

Had lunch on easter Sunday could not fault it, there was plenty of meat and veg . it was one of the best Sunday lunches I have ever had, in fact there was to much meat for the wife so she took some home for the cat, this is the 3rd time I have been and I will be going again

Booked for two after reading reviews on The New Inn and especially the “Fish and Chips” which we were really looking forward to. We arrived and were attentively looked after by the waitresses and placed our order. After calling earlier to enquire that they still had Fish and Chips available, the waitress returned and informed us that they had one standard and one small available. The food arrived and immediately could tell that something wasn’t right as very other time you eat, the food smells tempting and delicious, this was not the case. My partners meal, especially the Fish, smelt off, the mushy peas were tasteless and basically ate the chips from her meal and even those were not great. My meal was not as bad but agreed that the mushy peas were tasteless and didn’t smell right and the Fish although did not smell off, did not appear fresh as advertised. The Chef was in and out of the Kitchen with no real purpose, almost checking on what we had eaten and to be honest, wanted to leave as soon as possible as felt so uncomfortable. I went to pay for the meal and informed the lady that my partner had only eaten chips and was told that I should have mentioned it earlier, that was a fair enough comment but as the Pub was not exactly busy, did not want to make a fuss!. The Chef would have known that the Fish wasn’t off and maybe was checking if she’d eaten it?? Unfortunately we will not be returning and will now be going elsewhere for food.

5 of us ate here two nights running when we stayed in the village (to visit the excellent Grange Spa nearby). Service was great, food was good (excellent ribeye steak, fab chips) and reasonably priced wine. Huge helpings of dessert!

Visit to the New Inn, Folkingham today by two of us was well worth it. It was a fight over who had the best starter - my huge pile of Whitebait with pot of Tartare sauce and salad, or her Mushrooms on bread soaked in a Garlic and Cream sauce. I can report that she didn't actually lick the plate, but, thanks to her finger, her plate was completely bone-dry of cream and garlic when the waitress came for it. On to mains and I got plenty of Haddock, chips and I chose mushy peas. Herself has a preference for fish and chose the large fish pie with garden peas. Pleased to say the pub has a good selection of real ales. We neither had any room for sweets unfortunately. One of the things we found to the New Inn's favour, was that portions were good sized and prices less than many other places.

This was our first visit, We booked a table for 4 people for Sunday lunch. 1 - service was great very pleasant from start to finish the girls that took our orders was so polite and explained that she was training new waitresses and was it ok with us, of course it was. 2 - we ordered our food and was asked which size we wanted as there was two sizes we all went for the larger one, we learnt our lesson there was to much for me to finish, but the food was amazing and piping hot. 3 - desserts what a selection and wow it was worth it to have even though by the time we left I was well and truly stuffed. 4- Prices were pretty reasonable for what we got I would say well worth it. 5 - as soon as you walked in you saw straight away how nice everything was. Will we go back a definite YES. Best meal we have had in a very long while.

Everyone was very friendly, good selection of drinks, good food - especially the deserts and fairly priced. 2 TVs to show the football you want to watch. Great local, just a shame it's not our local though!

Due to Covid etc hadn’t been for a couple of years and on our return visit could not believe how high the standard had remained. Thanks to Kate and all the staff for making us feel at home instantly. Well worth a visit for a lovely meal or just a drink. Was delighted that they had come through all the restrictions and come out the other end vibrant.

Always a pleasure to visit this cheery pub which just happens to sit directly opposite my brother's house. Staff are friendly and the food is great. JHB Bitter from Oakham Brewery is a great running beer too. We sat inside on this occasion but the beer garden is a lovely place to sit. Sunday roast beautifully presented. Worth a stop off.

We are staying down the road at Henry’s Retreat and booked for an early evening meal on Friday. We walked into the bar which was full of locals enjoying an end of week pint or two. It was lovely to see a proper pub with the support of the community, what a fantastic environment, friendly and welcoming. We were led to our table in the restaurant, an area away from the bar, we were welcomed by the lovely waitress who was very attentive throughout. The food was awesome including garlic mushrooms in a cream sauce, followed by the biggest portion of liver and bacon for myself and my husband faced the biggest haddock and chips. The meals were hot, tasty and great value for money. The landlord was friendly and we even got a smile from the chef. A lovely place to visit, hopefully we’ll be back, unfortunately they couldn’t accommodate us for Sunday lunch as they are fully booked….understandably as this little pub is a gem.

6 of us had meals here on a busy Friday, everything was excellent . The fish was so fresh and chips proper home made and crunchy . Liver and bacon equally good and great for lighter appetites there are plenty of options too. Service very friendly and efficient .100% happy especially as the price was extremely reasonable.Fab

Went here for drinks to dry off from the rain originally and instead had to come back again later as the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home and welcome. Joined by other lovely people in the pub and the staff, we had a great evening for our birthdays that we would highly recommend to others. A small village pub, with a vibe like you’ve known everyone there for years! Shout out to Brian, what a legend!

I have visited the New Inn on several occasions when visiting Folkingham. A gentle and very pleasant pub with a beautiful garden. The bar area is cosy, friendly and serves excellent beers, wines and spirits. The restaurant serves excellent food. With generous helpings. It really provided amazing take away/home delivery meals during lockdown. A true Community Inn. Our last visit was 17 September. We held a Memorial Service in the Parish Church for a close relative. We live near the South Coast so we asked Brian and Kate to provide tea and refreshments after the service. Before the day they could not have been more helpful and kind. On the day the offering was simply superb. It added immensely to a very special day. Homemade, beautifully presented food. If you are near or passing through Folkingham call in . You will not be disappointed

Great lunch today . Proper pub food all freshly served in immaculately clean premises . A hidden gem which I will be visiting again shortly .

Wow! A great find! Had dinner here on two consecutive evenings recently. We were greeted by the friendly, but not pushy, landlord and served with delicious homemade food. On Monday evenings you have to eat in the bar, not difficult! Otherwise, it’s in the restaurant or garden. All COVID protocols were in place so we felt completely comfortable ‘eating out’. A thoroughly recommended establishment...thank you all

We have heard great reviews from friends about the takeaway meals during lockdown - Fish & Chips are apparently amazing. We had a very busy weekend and decided to book a takeaway Sunday lunch for the 4 of us - 2 roast pork and 2 roast beef with Bakewell tarts and lemon meringue pies - all homemade and all excellent. Brian and the team even carried out to the car for me!Highly recommended.

Just returned from our first visit to this restaurant and can definitely say it is a little gem of a place to eat. We were recommended it by another family member who dined there and told us how fantastic the food was. The portion sizes are well above average, everything served piping hot, the homemade desserts were delicious and all the staff we encountered were extremely polite and helpful.

First visit to the New Inn ,went with friends for Sunday lunch, was very impressed,the food was excellent,we all chose beef which was more than a generous portion and melted in the mouth.A great mixed selection of fresh vegetables,crispy roast potatoes,lovely mashed potato,topped off with excellent home made Yorkshire puddings,not forgetting the lovely rich gravy.We all managed to squeeze in a home made dessert which was a superb way of ending a cracking meal.All the staff were so happy and helpful.Looking forward to visiting again.Many thanks.Paul.Janet

This is quite simply an excellent place. We called in for a drink first of all and then went back for food. The landlord is really helpful and he gave us the lowdown on lots of places in the area. We had fish and chips (it was a Thursday special) and it was very tasty. The haddock was excellent, great flavour and very fresh. The chips and mushy peas were just right and the bread made an excellent butty. The dogs were welcomed by the staff and the locals so all in all we were made very welcome.

We stayed at a local campsite last weekend and booked The New Inn for dinner on the saturday evening. We had read reviews and it was clear to us that this was the place to eat in and around Folkingham. Well we definitely weren`t disappointed, the food was excellent! The staff were very helpful and friendly and the locals were really nice and welcoming and intrigued by the fact i am 6ft 7" and couldnt stand up straight in most of the bar area :). There were 4 of us and for the food we had and the drinks we couldnt believe how cheap the evening was. Very impressed and will definitely be visiting again when we are around Folkingham.

We visit this Pub on 2-3 times a year with family & friends, as there is a small campsite close by where we all meet up & the pub is well within walking distance. When visiting we are always receive a friendly reception. The restaurant is great, food is excellent & of good quality. Staff are also friendly & happy. When we organize a get together the 2 question is usually who's booking for dinner at the New Inn.

My pal who lives local recommended this establishment for the Sunday Carvery. The waitering staff were very pleasant and helpful upon arrival. Our table was ready and setup in the bar as the dining room was full.We had a beer in the well presented garden to the rear prior to eating. The waitress took our food order and informed us it would be ready in a few minutes.The food, wow, both meat options (pork and beef) were served with an assortment of veg and a homemade Yorkshire pudding. The meat was cooked perfectly and the veg also tasty.Only negative was they ran out of many of the deserts so my wife had to miss out. I had the cheesecake which was lovely.All in all a lovely meal at a reasonable price....

Just back after the most delicious lunch. Lovely yummy homemade quiche, fresh salad and homemade chips. All freshly prepared, large quantity and well worth the money. Will definitely return soon.

We can highly recommend the fish and chip night! Excellent food with very good service. Coupled with good value for money, a great place to eat.

Visited tonight and found the landlord and staff extremely friendly and chatty. The food was excellent and the portions were huge. The waiter checked that everything was ok (which it was) and we were so impressed we have booked again for tomorrow evening.

After reading this guide and noting this venue is vegetarian friendly we booked and visited today, over an hour drive to be told there is no vegetarian choice on a Sunday unless we expressly tell them on booking we are vegetarian! The choices were … Beef or Pork roast only, potatoes in beef dripping. Was offered Quorn mushroom pie if I waited 35 minutes, as I can have that out of the freezer any day of the week I politely declined. Wont be back.

Great food and sensible portions really great value and friendly efficient staff Absolutely love coming here

We have long ties to the village and have seen the New Inn develop over the years and it gets better. This is a great village restaurant with good wholesome food and great service.

Great atmosphere and range of drinks- food was great and the landlord was excellent Will visit again

Without a shadow of doubt this is the best pub/rest restaurant in the area. Clean a pleasure to sit in. The staff are just great, helpful and obliging , very pleasant and cheerful. Which doubles the pleasure in eating.

We had Sunday lunch at New Inn and is was really delicious and plenty of it. The food was piping hot, service excellent. From walking in to leaving you are made very welcome. Very reasonable prices too and homemade desserts.Will certainly be going again

Great public house, made us feel welcome from day one, the landlord Brian, new exactly what we were going to be drinking as soon as we walked through the door. We had a meal there, and the food is good. Handy for a short walk from where we staying, which was low farm caravan and camping ground.

The family of 8 (all adults) went there for sunday lunch. A mixture of gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian and a combination of all three plus the normal among us. They catered extremely well. There was plenty of food which was delicious and the deserts catered for all of us. An excellent family reunion. Thanks to the staff who were friendly and efficient.. Wholly recommend it.

Staying in a lovely local B & B and owner recommended the New Inn for supper. Lovely lively bunch of locals. Brian the amiable landlord took us through to the dinning room. great menu and very reasonably priced. Food was delicious. The portion size was enormous so no room for a desert but the ones I saw looked amazing. Brian's wife was working the dinning room and the two of them are a great team. Great evening

We found the New Inn by chance. It was a very friendly atmosphere and the landlord was helpful. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Beer well kept and a mix of real beer and others. Very dog friendly.

Absolutely amazing food .. I had the poached salmon with watercress sauce and my husband had the fish and chips both amazing

The fish and chips were bloody amazingly tasty and good size portions the staff very welcoming in general we will be back again can not recommend enough

We came for our monthly lunch group. We go somewhere different every month. The New Inn is always a treat and today was no exception. Staff are friendly and the food is good. We were a large group and the mains were served with the veg on an individual side dish so no one had to wait for veg to arrive or wait for them to be passed down the table. I wish all restaurants would do this. Absolutely brilliant.

we were made welcome from the moment we walked in. On Friday evening we had fish and chips and the gammon both were cooked perfectly. lots of desserts on offer and I think they were all home made. the staff were brilliant and even our whippet Henry felt right at home, we ended the weekend with Sunday lunch which was perfect.

A group of walkers ( 24) walked from here on a Monday where they opened specially for us, as they usually do.

From the warm welcome we received when we walked in to the bar, to the excellent service provided by the 2 young people, we couldn't fault our evening at the New Inn. If you're looking for Cordon Bleu cooking in modern surroundings, this isn't the place for you. But if you're looking for a traditional pub serving good beer (and gin!) with home cooked flavoursome food, a warm welcome and friendly locals The New Inn is spot on.

We went to the new inn last night especially for fish and chips and we weren't disappointed, they were delicious generous portions, white table linen set off a beautifully laid table and a very atmospheric restaurant, the serving staff were young and helpful and did everything to make the evening pleasant. There were 2 couples we had 1 starter 4 fish chips and mushy pea's 4 puddings and drinks and the bill came to £80 I would definitely go back to try something different on the menu.

Thank you so much to The New Inn for hosting our baby shower. Brian and Kate made sure everything was perfect. The buffet was fantastic, all of our guests raved about it - good home cooked food, presented beautifully and tasted delicious. They managed to squeeze us in between their lunch and dinner service so the staff were very busy yet still managed to make every single guest feel welcome. Thank you for a day to remember and I would highly recommend The New Inn for any function.

We went with a group of friends today and had a great meal. Portions are generous with reasonable prices. Service was also excellent. Will definitely go again.

My wife and I have visited on at least 5 occasions now for meals and haven't been disappointed once. Last night (Thursday) was fish and chip night. Everything comes out of the kitchen piping-hot and tastes superb. You enter via the main bar of the pub but continue through to the restaurant where you're pleasantly surprised by the quaint layout including a fireplace and dining tables covered by crisp white tablecloths, all nicely dressed and laid out.

A group of us called in for a couple of drinks over the Christmas period. Great atmosphere, lovely pint of Abbot and friendly staff and locals.

Called here before and must say pub food was spot on, all home made. Recently called in for Sunday lunch as we were quite impressed on our last visit.

Very nice village pub superb atmosphere and extremely helpful staff. And of course the most important thing THE FOOD. You will not fault anything on the menu here Sunday lunch is particularly excellent. We drive from Leicester to eat here in the new inn folkingham because there is nothing near us that comes even close to it. Try it you will not be disappointed.

A group of 28 of us descended here for Christmas lunch we had the restaurant to ourselves in very clean Surroundings we all had 3 courses and the food was well cooked and presented altogether an enjoyable experience

We gave the restaurant a whirl for lunch and were treated to some of the best fish and chips for a long time. The fish was extremely fresh and the batter light. The chips were hot,crisp and delicious. The service was friendly and efficient, the prices were reasonable and included a cup of tea to finish off. I would certainly return again.

Sunday lunch - one word - amazing!

You walk in and see an average bar with 2 TV’s on showing football, so you think this may be...

We have visited sevral times in the past year for Sunday lunch. It was always very good and has 2 sizes of meal so smaller appetites catered for. The meat is always tender. However , in more recent visits we have noticed one significant change in the meals. The roast potatoes are clearly not freshly made. I believe they are reheated from earlier and now have a leathery rather than crispy feel. For a Sunday roast this is a key part of the meal and whatever time saving this gives for the chef will eventually bite their trade! Giving it a miss for a while

Visited Th New Inn with a group of friends and family for Sunday Lunch. This pub has to be one of the hidden gems of Lincolnshire. The quality of the beef was second to none and we were glad to be told that it was sourced locally and that the same supplier had been providing this pub for several years. The potatoes and vegetables were cooked to perfection. A number of our party managed puddings and these were all declared scrumptious. The service provided by the waiting was excellent and they are a credit to their generation. We will definitely be back and will spread the word amongst all our family and friends.

We were staying on a short break in the village at a great B & B, The owner, Jane, kindly booked us in for dinner on the Friday evening. What a lucky Friday 13th it was.The Landlord gave us a friendly greeting and we were shown into the restaurant which was bright and and airy. We had the luxury of a table cloth.( Not many of those about now)We ordered the small portions of fish & chips - glad we did - the normal portions must have been enormous! Hot plates - home made chips - perfect.The Banoffe Pie should not be allowed but it was perfect too!Tom, our young water, was friendly and professional.- hang on to him - we want to see him again next year. A great evening for two very tired but happy visitors.So, we returned again four days later and ordered the baked salmon.. It came with a selection of really good vegetables served in a really hot dish. Sadly w did have to try the chips again but they were just as good as before.The prices were fair and we have no hesitation in recommending The New Inn. We'll be back in the Spring we hope.Jonathan & Anne

If you’re not in a hurry and want to spend the evening in a friendly local pub, then this is a great choice. The menu isn’t extensive but has sufficient choice, especially in different kinds of home made pies. The food is all home cooked and excellent quality, with really good chips! The landlord is very friendly too. The pub didn’t appear to be too busy, maybe a dozen customers in all, so for us the only downside was that we had to wait over an hour for our meal to arrive after ordering. We weren’t in a hurry, so this didn’t matter, except it meant we needed more drinks! Something to be aware of though, especially if you have children, as the child at the next table fell asleep before her meal arrived and had to take it home on a plate!

We visited this lovely pub on a Monday evening and enjoyed a fantastic meal, as usual.The pies were lovely and very tasty as was the ham egg and chips. I was the only one to mange a delicious pudding of homemade cheesecake, which is just to die for.Brian and Kate were their lively welcoming selfs.Can't wait to go again :)

The food is mediocre at best, they can't even get a basic drinks order right!The vegetables are unseasoned, the watery leaks are served in a powdery glup The roast potatoes are like bullets! And have black bits in!The beef was tender and edible If you mention that you have an aversion to any food e.g. I don't want mash, the cook then berates you in front of other diners! I was served a cherry pie which had a raw top, at no time did anyone ask is if the food was ok. My disabled father wanted to attempt to carry a plate with the raw food, to which my sister said no I'll speak to the waitress. My sister said to the waitress please can you take the pie back in and show the chef as the top is not cooked! The waitress then came over to the table whereby I showed her the uncooked pastry, I said the ice cream was nice but I would not eat the pie. The waitress then left with the uncooked cherry pie, moments later an angry chef came over to our table in front of other diners stating loudly that she would not accept rudeness. I said I hadn't been rude. However she clearly was extremely rude feeling that she has a right to speak to patrons however she feels, apparently she had the ump as her husband was out playing golf!! Which I do not consider and adequate reason for the abuse I received. This exchange occurred in full view of other diners the cook said where have you been, I said I've not moved from my seat. I reiterated that I hadn't said anything, the cook glared at me disbelieving then asked the waitress was it her?!?! (Pointing at me) to which the waitress said no it was the blonde one! The aggressive chef then turned around and started arguing with my mother who had already paid for the food. At no point did she apologise for the way she had spoken to me! The waitress had obviously exaggerated our legitimate complaint and I was mistreated by the staff..I would not recommend this establishment to othersnor would I ever go there again!! To sum up terrible service, poor food don't waste your money.

Six of us called in for early doors on a Friday. A couple of pints of Abbot went down well. Quite busy, friendly atmosphere and lovely pub garden. We didn't eat there but the food looked good with quite a varied menu. Other customers said that the food was really good so we might try another time.

Small very friendly mine host. Hendricks gin! And very fresh fish chips garden peas all fresh and hot. Then a pancake filled with berries and served with ice cream.

We have been staying locally over the weekend. Booked in to the New Inn on our first night in Folkingham. We all had a different main course. All three meals were cooked beautifully. We were too full for dessert, which was a shame because there was several things on the board that tempted us. Popped in on the off chance this evening and we were able to have another lovely meal. We all had haddock and chips. Luckily this comes in two sizes. Once again we were not disappointed. The meals were hot and very tasty. On both nights the staff were attentive without being over the top. Even though on the first evening they were very busy. The restaurant area is fresh and clean. The background music was our era and was at just the right volume so didn't interfere with our conversation. Definitely good value for money.

Called in for a meal at lunch time. Good beer and excellent food. I had the home made soup followed by the Stilton walnut and apple salad. Brilliant! Would definitely recommend. It was not too busy so we ate in the bar. Very friendly.

Stopped off here on our way to a family trip from Cheshire to Norfolk. Great service and yummy food. Would highly recommend.

Very busy for a Monday, landlord was ran of his feet but coped very well, excellent meal, full mine available

A traditional country pub with a light and airy modern restaurant. Also has a pleasant and secluded outdoor areaWe had an excellent lunch. Plenty of choice Home cooked food with fresh vegetables and lovely desserts.The service was good and the waitress asked if everything was OK once we'd started the meal - everything was.

We were a group of friends on a village walk and finished with a Fish and Chip supper in The New Inn. The fish came in a couple of sizes, with chips and peas, bread and butter, tartare sauce and ketchup included.The staff were friendly and helpful.Orders arrived fresh and without problems. Some of us had room for desserts which were also ample sizes with a varied choice.Thursdays was fish and chip night, I will be back to check out Sunday lunch and other specials.

the meal was very nice and very well priced the dining room is very nice maybe could do with some soft background music but thats the only thing negative i can say about it the staff were very friendly

Dined here on a warm weekday evening mid June whilst stopping with friends in the village. The Bar was busy but the restaurant quiet, cool, light and comfortable.A good selection on the menu and the meal came quickly, hot and well presented. (Would recommend the pies) The service was friendly and attentive and the prices reasonable.Will visit again.

Visited this pub on a recent camping trip. They serve a good pint. The food is lovely, nothing fancy but really, really tasty home cooked food..great selection of pies and puddings! Such a friendly place where you are made to feel most welcome which, in a village pub where lots of locals drink, is not always the case. Hope to go back some time.

Went there as a party of ten on a Saturday evening for drinks and food. Great local village pub and restaurant. I could tell it was well used by locals and and I can see why. Big portion of fish and chips and my son could hardly finish the burger. I was stuffed at the end.The bar and restaurant are separate. Not sure if they do bar meals but they had a few small tables scattered about. Everything was reasonably priced. No problem getting served at the bar and it was FA cup final afternoon. They have Sports on the TV and it's not a rowdy place. I wa staying at a campsite (Low Farm touring and camping) which is only a five minute walk away. The New Inn is well worth a Vaisya if you are in the area or fancy a night off the cooking. It has a large beer garden out back and it was very tidy. Ideal for a long summer afternoon drinking, weather permitting. The staff were real good. Waitress was on top of our order straight away and acted for all our needs. Well worth a visit if in the area.

This restaurant was a short walk from our B and B. Very generous portions of well cooked simple food. Great home made soups and pies.

Great Local pub. Tasty well made pub grub. We had the ham and eggs with 'proper' chips! We also think this pub has the best toilets. Immaculate and scented toilet paper too. Friendly staff and locals. Will definitely be returning again and again and....

We are regulars and love our village pub. Great food freshly prepared from the best local ingredients, fish and chips on a Thursday is always a winner. The service is always friendly. Well done Kate and Brian, keep up the good work.

had the 3 course deal on the sunday meal cannot knock and how much is on the platebut to (me and some member of the family) not a lot of taste had the beef big cuts. dont think i will have a meal again which is a shame cause the pub is very good

Just what you need in a village pub. Brian a Kate are the perfect host and you are made to feel welcome as you walk through the door. We are regular diners specially on Thursdays for Fish and Chips. They have plenty of choice on the menu serving home cooked food by friendly and efficient staff. Our advice is book early if you want Sunday Lunch.

Tucked away down a side street, easy to miss, but well worth seeking out. Obviously appreciative locals want to keep it to themselves! We went for a mid-week lunch and ate in the restaurant at the back. Immaculate table linen and a bright, airy room, with friendly and efficient staff. We were made very welcome and found plenty of choice on the menu, all home-cooked, with local suppliers listed. The dishes were well cooked, hot, nicely presented and delicious. We will definitely go again, a real find.

Both the food and the service was amazing at this pub. It comes very highly recommended! This pub did everything right - it could not have been better.

Went here for Sunday lunch with the family as my parents had just moved to the area. This will definitely not be our last visit, the food was fantastic, the beef was tender and flavoursome, roast potatoes done just right, in fact everything was cooked to perfection. If you're paying drop in, you won't regret it.

We had a family Christmas gathering here. We were made to feel welcome from the minute we walked into the pub. The extension where we ate our lunch was modern and comfortable. We had a 3 course meal which was lovely. The food is of an excellent quality and the portions were huge. We were waited on by a team of attentive young people who were professional and a friendly and also a credit to their generation. I would highly recommend this inn it's just great for just about everything.

We always pop in for a pint and a pack of crisps when out on a Sunday outing and we love it. Very friendly. Great locals, great atmosphere and great beer. Just what a pub should be. We think the landlord is a star. Sadly one of the few nowadays.

We often go to this pub for it's themed night, the latest being the Italian night. Fantastic value for money and highly recommended, the next one we can't make being the Caribbean night on the 26th November

A couple of weeks ago I was travelling back from Norfolk to my home in Cheshire. I wanted to break my journey and take in a televised football match. I eventually ended up in this fantastic pub in an idyllic village.Although my reason for visiting did not include having a lunch, I would have been tempted to have a bar snack, but unfortunately with it being Sunday, and having a fully booked dining area for Sunday lunches they were unable to offer any snacks - quite understandably.However, my visit was one I will remember for a very long time, due to the hospitality shown by "mine host", very friendly locals, who provided an excellent (certainly not raucous) atmosphere to watch the match in, and not least for the excellent cask beer on offer at £3.50 a pint.I left feeling a tinge of regret that I had to continue my journey, but with a resolve that the next time I am anywhere near I will most certainly pay a visit.... and most certainly sample the food, which was sorely tempting, both in aroma and appearance as it passed me by! Thank you to all the staff and customers for providing such a happy memory - despite the fact that my team conspired to lose the football match!! HASTA PRONTO!!

Good food. Good value for money. As a coeliac the choice was amazing. So much to choose from. Staff really helpful

From the outside this looks a very small pub, but go into the cosy bar and this leads through to a very light and airy dining area. Out the back is also a lovely beer garden that overlooks the church (sadly the domain of smokers on one of the evenings when we visited...nothing can really be done about this unfortunately). The owner looked after the bar, took the orders and served whilst he wife ran the kitchen, cooking the food. The cooking was excellent, nothing fancy, but very tasty, good portions and well presented. We enjoyed every mouthful and the service was top notch. Went back again and had another lovely meal. We enjoyed the home made pies and deserts...the Bakewell Tart and Cheesecake deserve a special mention! The owners obviously work very hard to make this pub what it is and they deserve to be praised for doing such a great job.

We were finally able to match our travelling times with rural dining times and it was well worth the wait! It is amazing that this village still supports a local pub let alone a great restaurant. What a choice of beautifully prepared home cooking. We were offered the choice of a restaurant meal of sitting in the bar. This is a proper traditional pub, not just a place to have a meal. We enjoyed some fine beer in this local pub three nights running and the atmosphere was great. They deserve to do well and I suspect they work very very hard at keeping it all going. Enjoy a local pint and help keep these rarities going. Thank you so much for reminding me what a traditional pub used to feel like!

Visited the New Inn on a Thursday lunchtime with my granddaughter, and have to say how fresh our meals were. We both had fish and chips, which were the best I've tasted for a very long time. We were greeted by a very friendly landlord, and given excellent service by all staff members. We will definitely be returning very soon. Well done to the New Inn.

Stayed nearby with 8 friends the pub is very clean has 2 large screens that show the sport and there is a pool table and dartboard as well. We had breakfast here as well which was Big!!! They do have vegetarian options as well both breakfast and tea, The evening meals are very generous portions and very fresh and tasty The atmosphere is very friendly the locals were very chatty and welcoming will be back next year

I visited as part of a group of 9 lads and stayed nearby in the village. We had dinner in the pub both nights and breakfast one morning. None of us could fault anything. The food was great, the portions were very generous and there were plenty of vegetarian options. Although i didnt have the duzzy blonde beer the ones who did enjoyed it. There is a dart board and a pool table as well as two large screen tvs. The staff and the locals were very friendly and welcoming. Will be back next year. Cheers

Stayed with a group of 9 lads in Folkingham and went to this pub both days we were there. 2 Large TV's showing the Golf on one and the Cricket on the other, totally in our element.Pool table, Dart Board and top drawer food and ales at very reasonable prices. Good banter with both staff and locals who welcomed us into the village.I would 100% recommend and will see you the same time next year!!

Three of us stopped by for a quiet drink at The New Inn after a splendid morning's walk from Folkingham: what a delightful surprise to be greeted by mine friendly landlord, who is actually knowledgeable about his excellent draught ales! BUT even better! There is a splendid white-table-cloth restaurant in a new extension to the rear of the bar and, you guessed, once we saw the excellent menu we wanted to try it for ourselves. And aren't we glad that we did! Real, real home cooked food, generous portions, politely and caringly served. And a tempting range of simply splendid real home-cooked puddings. We'll be back, for sure!

We were camping on the nearby site so this was an ideal stroll in an evening for a drink. nice choice of ales but had Abbott ale so we had that and extremely well kept. Barman was very friendly and we had a good chat about beer and other things in the village. the local also made conversation and made us very welcome.Some people were dining and joined our room later saying the food was good. We wanted to eat on Sunday here but sadly and adownside, it doesn't serve food on Sunday evenings. would definitely visit again if back in this area. Nice beer garden as well.

We have had two wonderful meals here this week. On Wednesday (18th May) we spent a very enjoyable 2 hours eating.Starting with whitebait, what a large portion, then following with fish pie, the best I have ever had, even better than my own. How I then had the cheek to order a sweet I will never know but the cherry pie was superb.On Thursday(19th May) we went back and behaved ourselves having only fish and chips, but that was a very large portion. Beautifully cooked the lager batter being crisp and light and the chips just so crispy.Congratulations to the cook. Just wished I lived nearer, would be able to visit often.

Booked this as it was a half way meet for us to see friends we met on holiday.Never been here before, arrived early for our lunch time booking and made very welcome by the bar staff. When our friends arrived we moved through into a light and bright dinning room neatly laid tables, not rushed at all as we were busy talking catching up with all the news. We ordered Fish Pie, Lancashire hot pot and Ham Egg and chips, all cooked perfectly and all delicious, deserts very good also we will be back excellent service can highly recommend this village Inn.

Fabulous small local pub and there aren't many left. Great selection of beers, great food, friendly welcoming service. Thursday night is fish and chip night. The best f&c around. All freshly cooked, generous portions, bread and butter, fresh or mushy peas wonderful quality fish. Also excellent Sunday lunch. Charming friendly service, what more can you want. Took family and ate their on Thursday night, they were very impressed. Well done Brian and Kate and team!

The New Inn is a small local that us friendly and welcoming and has great home cooking, the chips are the best ever, but they also do a good vegitarian menu and a celiac menu too, thursday is fish and chips night and you will not get better all served on spotless white linen in a bright resturant, and home cooked puddings are not helping my waistlibe! Cherry pie with cherry icecream is my favorite
