Just popped over there to have a big ol' meal for the family at lunchtime - 50th birthday for m' aunt. Everybody's dinners looked amazing and it was thumbs up all round! I had a late breakfast so had the baked camembert from the specials menu - it was either that or I was going to go for the focacia starter with the soup. The menu made that sound a lot nicer than my basic explanation! Other option for me was to go for the soup with some seasoned fries and piece of mature cheddar. Cheddar of course being... just down the road! I trust and hope it was local, hey!
So uhh, yeah another great looking dish that caught my eye and my cousins, was a mint lamb burger with haloumi, c'orr it looked bloody great. My bread with the camembert was baked and super fresh! Very good bread indeed. Could've done with more butter, but still - great dish!
The prices are a little steep for my student butt, but the food goes to show for that - big time!
The atmosphere is surely nice enough and I was engulfed in the nostalgia of seeing the play park with its iconic tree face play thing, and the swing set. The kiddies seemed entertained!
So uhhm, yeah - highly recommend - nice owner, nice bar lady, waitress took photos for the family with a smile on her face, waiter seemed a little pressured or something - ended up knocking some bits over and the pickle that fell behind me had me made a joke of. No it didn't come out me pants, uncle! Hehe hehe. Nah it was great there, and I can't...

The New Inn, in Cross, is a fantastic example of Ye Olde English Pub - quintessentially charming and choke full of historic character. Strategically located just off the A38, the New Inn stands as yet another quaint jewel on the string of beautiful hills known as the Mendips - one of Somerset's many Areas of Natural Beauty (AoB).
On this occasion, a gloriously sunny day, my daughter and I stopped by for some lunch. We were greeted warmly and personably by staff. We hadn't made a reservation, regardless, we were accommodated at a lovely bay windowed table. The menu, updated weekly, was an eclectic mix of meals all made with locally sourced ingredients. Our mains, lasagne and a revelationary vegetarian curry, were stellar. Our dessert, a very posh bread pudding was, in a word, sublime. We retired, with a couple of pints, to the rear garden and enjoyed the sites, the suds, and the sun.
So, whether you're on route somewhere or you've chosen the Mendips as your destination, The New Inn is a great watering hole. With paths up into the hills and along the famous Strawberry Line, you're not short of things to do. Kids? They will love the play area out back. Just remember to book ahead, it can get busy on the weekends. If you haven't booked, don't let that put you off, head on over - they will gladly do their best to accommodate you.
Here's hoping you enjoy your next outing there. Let me know when you...
