  “Had Sunday lunch here and was really impressed by the quality and variety of tasty foods. Would highly recommend the steak and ale pie, the beef roast and the blagdon mess and toffee pudding for dessert. Great service too - be sure to make a reservation as it’s super popular!”

  “Loved this - a proper pub with proper grub. Nice garden with great views over the valley and lake. Friendly, welcoming staff. Good beer. Pie and mash best I've had in a while. As we were leaving, Chef came out with a treat for the dogs, which went down really well. Everything you want in a pub. Highly recommended.”

  “A proper village pub with a warm and welcoming feel. The food was lovely and really well done, without any of the unnecessary fuss or pretentiousness you can sometimes get with more gastro-style pubs. There was also a good selection of drinks with plenty to choose from. It felt relaxed and friendly while still offering really good quality food. Exactly what you want from a village pub, and somewhere I’d happily visit again when I’m in the area!”

  “We had a great day yesterday, the views across Blagdon Lake and watching the red kites flying overhead whilst eating was brilliant. Our meals were fantastic. The veggie curry was so tasty and the young lady swapped in g.f. tortillas for me. Hubby loved his meat dish and said it was amazing. High praise from Mr. Fussy! We didn't have room for 🍦 though many around us were. Great location and top notch food leaving you to extend a notch on your belt afterwards!”

  “Wonderful little country pub. We went for a walk around Blagdon lake then stopped for a Sunday beef roast which was delicious. All the veg was seasoned perfectly and the beef tender. Our waitor was very attentive and the views from the garden are stunning! We'll be back again!”

  “The views from the garden are wonderful, the staff very friendly and attentive, the ambiance is of a traditional country pub with a great selection of beers and wines. Unfortunately I cannot offer a glowing review of the food The menu is very limited, no starter options and hot food is pies or lasagna We opted for the pies, the presentation was excellent a lovely looking pie, the pastry was very good the chunky chips some of the best. The pie filling was disappointing minute pieces of steak hidden in a sauce with small bits of vegetables the same for the chicken pie But at £14.95 I’m not sure whether I should be expecting more”

  “The New Inn came highly recommended and we were not disappointed. It is a traditional pub with a warm and welcoming ambiance. The view on Blagdon lake is magnificent, but details such as the cleanliness and well-maintained garden bowled us over. The two barmen (Louis and Ayden) made all the difference: attentive yet unobtrusive, friendly but not familiar. They are cut for this job and nothing seemed too much trouble. The ales were great - especially after our good walk 😉 We had the Yeoman’s Platter, which had good portions of cheese, including the beautiful Long Clawson blue cheese and a lovely home-made chutney. We came back a second time for lunch and had steak & ale pie: generous chunks of tasty and tender meat in a crisp pastry. The accompanying vegetables had no frills, but were very fresh and cooked to a perfect al dente - just as it should be. The mashed potato came with a generous serving of thick gravy. What a lovely meal - and so much nicer than the pretentious bistro-style meals that one so often find these days. The New Inn is now high on our list of favourite pubs!”

  “Bustling and friendly traditional pub. Think horse tack and wood fire. Easy parking in a large, level car park. Clean loos. 2 hand pulled ales (Butcombe Original & Wandsworth 6X). Menu choice wasn't vast, but what they did was good! Vegetarian pie and Steak&ale pies both excellent. Good crisp crust and well-filled. Service was the clincher for us: we booked ahead to be near another table. Staff recognised our booking immediately and sorted it. Food arrived swiftly. Bar staff welcoming and helpful throughout the evening.”

  “Came here for midweek lunch. Beautiful building run by yeo valley team set in stunning area overlooking blagdon lake and beyond. It was quiet when we visted sraff friendly and food good value. I had chilli nachos which were delicious, a friend had a beef doorstep sandwich which she said was good. Will return again based on this experience”

  “A great pub with stunning views. There were a few locals socialising there and chatting with the pub staff and were VERY informal! Hahah! Anyway would go again. Is that a normal size of pudding by the way? Massive”
