Decided to visit The New Inn while visiting nearby Lost Gardens and Charlestown, and called in advance to book a table. The ratings shown via Google Maps were good and we're glad we made the journey. Acknowledging one of the other posts for parking being a challenge, we parked in a street a few hundred metres away which wasn't an issue for us but could be for others. Served drinks straight away in a typical pub bar area, we were then shown to our table on the conservatory which was decorated nicely with views out to the beer garden and rear of the village. The menu had a good selection of pub classics while interspersed with both vegetarian and specials of the day. The scallops with black pudding were very well cooked, served with new potatoes and a vegetable purée that was tasty and smooth. Mains were vegetable curry and steak, ale and mushroom pie with local veg, both served piping hot and delicious. Times for delivery of both courses were reasonable in my view, although I heard another lady commenting it'd been 45 minutes for her mains to arrive. Service was very pleasant throughout, checking we were both happy with the food and asking if we'd like anything further, more drinks, etc. Overall we both really enjoyed our visit and would recommend a visit if you're in...
Read moreRight. We wanted to have Sunday lunch at The New Inn, Tywardreath but it was fully booked. Whilst on way back from #tragomills I booked for dinner tonight. Bit spooked that we weren't showing as booked, mainly because I worried I'd booked somewhere else and not turned up. Once that was cleared up and we had a table (phew), the food choices were made. We shared nachos. I had chicken, chorizo and butterbean stew with couscous. Hubbs had tagliatelle bolognaise. Both came with devil's breath garlic ciabatta that would have served both of us. Puddings. Were. To. Die. For. Huge sticky toffee pudding for hubbs and chocolate toffee torte for me. See that on top? Not ice-cream, proper Cornish clotted cream. And, @st_austell_brewery ales on cask 😍; #properjob and Tractor Beam.
Yes, we're stuffed. Why did I decide to wear jeans?
Really wish we'd been able to book...
Read moreWe dined at The New Inn recently with visiting family, having told them how good it was. The food, when it finally arrived, was ok but the chips were inedible due to being laced with salt and after a wait of almost two hours for the main, we had lost our appetite. The staff, when we enquired about the long waiting time, were offhand and uninterested. All this whilst a dog in the corner of room barked very loudly every few minutes at every passer-by and a couple at an adjacent table rounded on us quite aggressively for complaining. So much so that we left before finishing our food. Clearly friends of the owners. We’ve had several meals at The New Inn over the last few years and it was always good but waiting that long for food, then subsequently being ignored by passing staff is a miserable experience. We will be going...
