The New Inn, August 1997

A cosy thatched 14th century pub buried in the Cornish countryside in a small village well off the beaten track which I first visited over 10 years ago. Just a single basic bar with the beer served straight from the barrel. Had a good pint of Sharps Doom Bar. No noisy machines or juke boxes. Quite a wide mix of people (and indeed dogs at times!) in the pub.

Great tasty food on offer at very reasonable prices served by friendly staff. Good sandwiches at lunchtimes. Lots of seafood available. If you are after food it's probably wise to get there early or book as the pub is quite popular and you'll be lucky to get a table later on in the evening. Children are welcome with high chairs available. There's also only limited parking available too.

Out the back there's a big well-tended garden which looked the ideal place for a quite pint in the sun.
