The New Inn — Restaurant in West Devon

The New Inn epitomizes the quintessential Devon pub experience, offering the expected traditional charm enriched with a welcoming and homely atmosphere. The exterior is visually striking, boasting a thatched roof and a spacious beer garden, instantly creating a sense of comfort.

Ample parking, including additional spaces across the road, enhances convenience, while the large beer garden provides ample room to bask in the occasional appearance of sunlight.

Went for partners birthday meal having had an amazing meal there a few months ago.

Unfortunately this time we were both disappointed with our main courses, steak not cooked right, unpleasant sauce and tasteless vegan dish, and after nobody coming to check back on our meal for a long time I went to the bar to advise of our issues feeling frustrated as it is not the cheapest place!

Frustration was immediately eased as a gentleman that I assume is the owner and chef promptly came to our table, apologised and quite honestly advised us of some issues that had contributed to the problems on their end. He cleared our bill, got us some more drinks and gave us a voucher to come and enjoy another meal in the future. He was pleasant l, not offended by our issues and nice to talk with.

No business can be perfect 100% of the time but every business could learn from this place how to resolve a complaint in such an efficient and professional manner that the customer still feels fully satisfied with there experience there.

We're looking forward to going...

As others have pointed out, portions are tiny for the price of the food, a thimble of Coleslaw with a £15 burger is very odd, as is no sauce on the burger, leading to a dry burger, which is not what i expect for £15.50, the beef patty was of good quality, but served on a slip of lettuce, a tiny slice of tomato and zero sauce offered or given, seems lazy from the kitchen to me,, leading to a bland burger.

My daughters burger was a kids burger, £8, no sauce, no salad, just bap and burger, which again lead to a dry burger.

I will add that the chips and garlic bread with cheese were lovely.

For me, if a posh pub cannot put out tasty burgers, I'm guessing the kitchens got problems.

Don't get me wrong the food was all eaten, but at the prices the New Inn is charging, I'd expect 'edible' not to be the overall impression left.

Desserts were nice, but again overpriced.

The staff were/are friendly, so no issues with the service, but we are...
