The New Inn is our favourite place to eat in the Barnstaple area. The food is incredible, cooked to perfection with locally sourced produce. Justin and Julia are perfect hosts, making customers feel welcomed and very well looked after. The choux bun dessert is an absolute must but make sure you leave some space and plan a nice long walk the next day!
A fantastic local pub and restaurant. Friendly staff. Excellent food. Visited with a family group of 7 and everyone's needs.were catered for from my 4 year old nephew to me as a 55 year.old Coeliac with specific dietary needs. When asked about gluten free options I found that practically 95% of the menu was either gluten free or could be adjusted to cater for me. Fair prices for the portions and quality food cooked with great skill. Puddings were amazing too. Highly recommended!
Just had the most wonderful meal tonight. The menu selection was amazing and we were all spoilt for choice. There were so many tasty dishes to try and all locally sourced. The customer service and the attention we received was excellent. Cosy setting for a nice dinner.
Absolutely lovely food a fantastic choice for rach course. Great portion sizes too. Lovely Landlord. Would definitely recommend and we would revisit next time we come to Devon.
We called at 2.30pm and sadly nobody answered to take the reservation so ended up booking somewhere else. After the alternative option had turned out to be not-so-ideal we again tried to get through to The New Inn and were fortunate enough to get a table. Our evening then took a dramatic turn for the better. Justin and Julia were the most perfect hosts and so welcoming. We were seated at a lovely, cosy table, they explained the extensive menu in great detail and were attentive to our every need. We had the Turkish carrots to begin (these were simply sublime), then a special of the Hake and the rabbit (so delicious and accompanied with chips, potatoes and plenty of veg- all cooked to perfection!). For dessert we had honeycomb ice cream which was again super tasty and a huge portion! Fantastic meal, lovely environment and the perfect hosts. Wish we were staying in the area longer to return to try other dishes!! Cannot recommend enough. Thanks for a perfect evening ❤
Wonderful dining experience, as soon as we entered Justin couldn't have been more welcoming, great wine selection great beers, he explained the handwritten menu to us in detail, everything is home cooked and it's really difficult to choose as it all sounds delicious.
The dessert menu didn't disappoint either with the sticky toffee apple crumble a hit with my husband. I had the most citrusy lemon posset served with a buttery homemade shortbread biscuit.
We only wished we lived nearer as it would be top of our list for dining.
No frills little pub but the food is absolutely amazing all homemade and very generous portions . Could not fault it , you could tell the landlord and landlady take a real pride in their work. Brilliant!

This is a treasure of a place - I almost don't want to tell you! Clearly, the landlord(s) are devoted to offering excellent food, beautifully done, great value and service. We were in Barnstaple for sad reasons, but our meal here, on the evening of a sad day was just perfect. Highly recommend.
A party of nine visited this little gem of a restaurant based on a local recommendation. A wide range of excellent home cooked food, served with a smile. Nothing was to much trouble. An excellent evening all round.
Lovely place. Good banter and a solid menu. Had Cod with Pesto however the Wife's Turkish carrots were probably the highlight. Would definitely return. Liked the way the Owners/Staff explained the menu. Carpark however a little tight to get into for those of a nervous disposition.😁
