The Lower New Inn

First time we have been there since the new owners and what a difference. Nice relaxed atmosphere, staff were excellent and the food was very good. The price is pitched right when you take into the food, service and atmosphere. Would recommend and will be coming back soon

Met up with family for a celebration. Food was lovely and service was good but the table was not clean. It was sticky to the touch all over and there were traces of hard, dried sauces/gravy right where my forks were placed. Others on our table had the same thing at their seats. It really doesn't take long to wipe down the tables properly between covers and it would have made a nice family meal a better experience.

I was slightly disappointed with the evening experience on Saturday 15th October 2022.
The food was a good standard no issues there.
The problem was linked to the atmosphere, half the lower area was allocated to a single party with excessive noise, wooden chairs on stone floor moving constantly with the young guests.
We were seated on a table for two which was very small with the constant staff going back and forth behind my seat.
Not a pleasant setting on a romantic table for two.
Not the special feeling that I had anticipated for a place where the bookings are very limited.

Visited tonight for one last date night before our baby arrives ie a special occasion for us both that we were looking forward to. The food is delicious and can't fault it at all. However, the blonde short waitress is an issue (other staff all lovely and friendly). I literally didn't see her smile once the whole evening and she made us feel as if anything was too much trouble, like asking for a steak knife for the fillet steak. The bigger issue though was that I asked if it would be possible for the bruscetta with goats cheese to come without the goats cheese as I'm pregnant and can't eat goats cheese. She just responded with 'no'. My partner ordered this for himself and the goats cheese was just placed on top so absolutely could have come without it. This was disappointing and made me feel like I asked for the world. Just be a bit more accomodating !

Food was good but the staff not welcoming the lady wasn't very pleasant at all . Even when smiling back she just had the straightest face ever my friend & I thought very strange if you work in hospitality which we both have that's all part of the job even in a pub & not a 5 star hotel.

Nice place, friendly staff, good food,
Held back one star 🌟 as the Cutlery was dirty and had to be changed for two or us.

A date night very well spent at The Lower New Inn. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful pub with amazing staff down the road from our home. We dont always have the time to visit but when we do its a real treat. Excellent food, standards do not slip here. Hubby had the Cider Braised pork belly which was cooked to perfection, i had the stuffed chicken supreme which was delicious. All serving staff cant do enough for you, and we used a gift voucher from christmas towards the bill, no issues there. Always a delight to go back. Thank you LNI xx
