The New Inn Pub Food

This inn is in a beautiful village, and the evening meal was delicious. Our bedroom was beautifully decorated and the bed comfy. Only cons are sinks which don't hold the water, a stained towel, no food on Sunday evenings and WIFI that doesn't work.

We were having a joint birthday in Winchelsea and booked the New Inn for our birthday meal. So glad we did, it was absolutely perfect from the food to the staff. Great menu and helpful, friendly staff. It made our celebration very special. Would higky recommend.

Excellent food, friendly service. First, we went as a family of four and enjoyed a superb lunch in the garden, which included fish and chips and sea bass. All delicious. The second visit was solo for another delicious traditional roast beef with all the trimmings. View menu

We called in to this pub as the location and menu looked good and reasonable on line. We weren’t disappointed. Attentive staff, very polite and food choice great. I had one of the specials off the board. Quantity and quality of food for the price very good. We will return when next in the area and definitely recommend to others

During our weekend stay in Winchelsea, my husband and I visited the pub for drinks on both nights. The staff were very friendly and even remembered our previous orders. We also had the pleasure of meeting some lovely locals. Although we didn't dine in the pub, the menu looked very appealing. We definitely plan on returning and next time we will try the food.

Great find for a few days away. Very friendly, food great and a fantastic hidden garden. Stayed three nights in very comfortable en suite rooms, fans provided as it is an old traditional pub tastefully renovated but not suitable for a/c. Pub closes at 10pm weekdays (11 at weekends)so nice a quiet for a restful stay. Breakfast made to order and a good choice. The garden is a beautiful spacious area with an array of unusual plans and butterflies. Parking on site and local bus stops outside. Would recommend for a few days away and will be going back.

We ordered what was described as sour dough bread, a crab salad, a chowder and some chips. The bread was not in any way sour dough and it could have easily been a week old so we took one bite each and left the rest. I was warned that the crab in the salad wasn’t dressed (why not?? but I assumed that the salad itself would be dressed at least and there would perhaps be some mayo served with the nude crab. Wrong! The salad was crudely made and was served with absolutely no dressing. The crab on top was grey and very unappealing so the ‘dish’ was barely touched. The chips were thankfully well made. Winchelsea is a lovely little place with the New Inn as it’s only place to eat. If a cafe were to...

When visiting the quaint town of Winchelsea, there aren't many dining options available. Luckily, the one remaining pub is a great choice. The pub features two main dining areas with wooden floors on each side of the front door. The small bar area has a stone floor, a fireplace, a piano, and four tables. Beyond the bar is a second room with a TV screen and a section of the L-shaped bar with keg taps. Outside, there is a small courtyard car park with a walled garden and a large tree providing shade for the benches. The food menu is above standard pub fare but not quite at the level of gastro. We tried the sea bream and sea trout from the specials board, and both dishes were excellent. The bar...

We popped in a few days ago with our granddaughter for refreshments having walked around Winchelsea in the sun and were pleasantly surprised by the secluded well maintained beer garden at the New Inn. A few days later we thought we'd visit again for lunch, my wife quite often orders a prawn cocktail from the chain type pubs and is normally pretty much under whelmed. However the one she ordered here which admittedly included crawfish tails was to her mind the best she has ever had. Just the right amount of chopped salad of cucumber, cherry tomatoes which wasn't just lettuce from a bag a good portion of prawns topped with crawfish tails and finally a superior home made sauce along with quality...
