"What can I say? New Inn, which web-describes itself as a beautiful 17th ? c. former coaching inn in an iconic building in the heart of Cerne Abbas, one of the prettiest villages in England , is genteely decorated in those muted colours currently loved by a plethora of Inns and gastro-pubs dotted around the country, and is now so blandly well-groomed as to have lost whatever character and magic it may once have possessed. Hoping for one of its own webpage-described fabulous food in a charming setting experiences for our special Birthday lunch, the sample web-menu, when we booked, promised much. On the day, the weather behavd itself and we were seated in outside on the patio ....my husband ordered and received! a very nicely-cooked 30 steak. I, finding that the delicious-sounding celeriac soup I 'd noticed on the web-sample menu was no longer on the menu, looked for another starter. Asking how many king scallops £14 came in the portion was told there were 3, and, thinking the price a tad steep for only 3, I opted, instead for a starter, also £14 which sounded great, of asparagus and pecorino cheese in a chili salsa.... Well, my delicious-sounding £14 starter of asparagus/pecorino/chili turned out to be, when it materialized ........a biggish white plate on which were grandly sat a teaspoon-size dollop of green/white stuff presumably the pecorino ?, but tasting of absolutely nothing and..... wait for it!..... THREE bright green spears of asparagus set on top of a minute smear of chili-ish oil. In short, here, at New Inn, it seems that sometimes you get what you pay for and sometimes you don 't!"

We had a delicious seafood sharing platter. The pub was happy to allow our dog in. Decent service and good beers too.

It's good sometimes to get off the highways when driving, and give yourself some time at least to glimpse the hidden treasures around you.

We went here for dinner. We are real foodies, and the food was absolutely superb. There was a warm, relaxed ambience and the staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive. Highly recommended. View menu

Monday is not a good choice for a pub meal in Cerne Abbas as the best option is closed and the other two, including the New Inn do not offer their full dinner menu. The New Inn has a “Burger Night” menu which my wife tried an I had moules and fries which were good. However, my wife reported that her burger was dry and tasteless.

We live in the village and had family visiting from the US for a few days. Our family stayed at the New Inn for a few days and one evening we had a large family meal there, before which we sat in lovely the beer garden enjoying the sunshine As our visitors described it the venue is beautiful, the hosts “awesome” and the food “perfect” View menu

Stayed for one night, lovely clean room. Quirky, charming building. Extremely friendly staff. Very good night's sleep. Nice choices for breakfast. We had Sunday lunch with friends. On the whole it was very good. The one thing I would pass on to the chef would be, if you are serving a vegetarian Sunday roast, please make some vegetarian gravy to go with it. Maybe make a batch and freeze it in portions if you don't use it every service.

I have enjoyed many meals at The New Inn but todays heights reached a new level. The roast beef was simply faultless. As was everything that accompanied it. There are however people out there who dislike garlic. My guest and I have eaten all over the world and would possibly if pushed eat garlic as a main course. We both noticed that the sirloin had possibly been rubbed with some garlic or had some garlic salt sprinkled on it prior to cooking. Absolutely no problem to ourselves but possibly something to ask about if you dislike it. My only slight gripe is the price of wine by the glass. £9.70 for a large glass of Malbec is a tad pricey and add the service charge brings it to nearly £11.00 fo...
