The new Landlords of the Newtown Pippin, Simon, and Vicki have succeeded in dragging this pub out of the mediocre time warp it was stuck in, smartly into the 21st Century. It has been reborn into a clean, well run pub, and is now a credit to the community, and the area. Just what we needed. A good selection, and variation of drinks is to be had, and are complimented by a choice of tasty pub meals on offer. It is welcoming to families, has a play area outside, and is dog friendly, and has Live music on occasions. Private bookings can be had for special occasions, and celebrations, and other events. As a regular customer for many years I am impressed with the transformation of the Pippin. I wish them, their family, and the Newtown Pippin, all the best for the...
Read moreA small group of us went for lunch here on Wednesday. There is a good main menu and a £12 one with a main course and a drink, which we chose from.

The place was empty, was feeling really hungry there was no mention they sold food, no menus, or notices. It wasn't until I saw these reviews that they actually did food, what a great a shame as the food looks lovely. I came with friends and would have spent a good £120+ instead we spent £30 and left. The only thing that can really save pubs like this is by serving proper quality home cooked food, but it seems they either they don't promote it well enough or didn't want to cook at the weekend. The atmosphere was relaxed with nice chilled music playing. Please do better with menus/signage and get that kitchen open...
