The New Inn — Restaurant in South Derbyshire

The new in is a old traditional pub with friendly atmosphere , .I had cheesy chicken .with mushrooms and bacon and cheese on top.and salad, The food was excellent. If there was a pattern on the plate I would of scraped it off it was morish. Excellent food 😋 my compliments to the chef 😋. I was enjoying my meal and me and my partner. Sat on table 4 inside where the window was looking out of the window, And I felt a hand brush across my right knee.!!!! my partner was sitting opposite me and I said has I looked under the table, Ive just felt something like a hand brush across my right knee. There was nobody else around table no 4 and nobody on table no 3. Next to us. My partner said has he looked at me , wonder if it's got past history. What ever or who ever it was was friendly. And was letting me know there was a presence. It was strange but didn't scare me. This is when I started to find out the history of the New Inn at shardlow.. I am wondering if there is spirits or ghost present. If anybody else has felt a presence would be interested to get some feed back. Excellent customer service by the young lad. who was serving the food to each table,he had a very pleasant personality.and fantastic smile very helpful and pleasant. Will be back for more food and drinks. New Inn Shardlow. 100per cent worth a visit for food friendly atmosphere. Well done to all the staff excellent. Team work. And food and...

The Wobbly Wanderer was here recently with a friend. The New Inn is situated alongside the Canal just a short walk from The Clock Warehouse Pub (closed)park. We got seated outside and were soon asked what we wanted to drink. Once the order wea taken (and paid for in advance) We then ordered a meal each (paid for in advance again). The drinnks arrived quite quickly we were advised there would be a wait for food. After a considerable time the food didn't seem to materialise. We enquired as to when we might get it. After a while and a lot of visits from various members of staff it turned out that our meals had been given to another table in error. (hope they enjoyed it!). The staff were very apologetic and assured us they would replace our meals as a matter of priority (which they did). Wobbly one ordered a Cajun Chicken with Salad and the "Stand In" Wobbly Wanderer ordered Cumberland Sausage. The Chicken was OK but unfortunately the Chips were a trifle overdone. The Cumberland Sausage looked good and disappeared at a decent rate The New Inn compensated us for the inconvenience...so no harm done!. As a side note it was nice to see the proud parent swans and their young going...

We booked a table here for 5.30 pm knowing from experience how busy this gem of a pub gets ! Arrived about 5pm and ordered drinks and we were seated at our requested table . ( Other establishments please take note … if a customer requests a certain table then they should expect to be seated there , not somewhere nearby.)

We were served our drinks by a very nice , polite young lady ,Evie who reminded us that we couldn’t order food til 5.30pm

Creatures of habit we ordered cheesy chicken from the lite bites menu … having pestered Jeremy , another excellent member of staff to take our order .

The pub was filling up fast , many people were sitting outside enjoying the delightful view of the canal and barges .

We didn’t wait long and soon the meals were in front of us , piping hot as usual. The kitchen staff must be working their socks off !

We would definitely recommend the New Inn to...
