New Inn

This was our third time at the New Inn. When we arrived at 9 PM on a Friday night, the place was packed (as it has been the other two times we had visited) and we were hungry. The kitchen serves until 9:30, so we were cutting it close and although there were no tables available immediately, a man (who we assumed was the landlord/​owner) came over to the three of us and asked if we planned to eat. We told him we did and explained we didn’t mind waiting at all. He was great with us and said he’d definitely get us in… awesome customer service, especially for me as an American used to the service we get in the U.S. And, this isn’t the first time that the people there have been as friendly as this.
The bartender was just great as well. At one point after we had finished our meal, she came over and asked if we wanted to close out our tab (it was nearing 11:30 at this point) or if we wanted to hang around as she reckoned she would still be there until 1 AM or so serving the guys at the bar. So, the two guys I was with both ordered another pint and we sat for another 30 minutes or so.
Also, the food here is great! Yes, they have the typical pub food that we all love, as I’ve enjoyed the scampi and chips and meat pie before. This night though, I was feeling something a bit lighter, so I went with the balsamic-​glazed chicken with roasted veg. It was SO delicious! It is difficult to find ‘lighter’ options in pubs sometimes and this one was filling without making me feel like I left with a weight in my stomach. My fiancé had the special, which was sea bass (Yes, in a pub!) with prawns, and he raved about it. Our friend had the meat and potato pie with chips (I stole a few of them — they were great), which is always a crowd favorite.
Honestly, The New Inn is a great place! Highly recommended.
