A food-led country inn with standout burgers and small plates, lively pub energy, and mixed service; strong cooking but group management and room comfort can be inconsistent.
The New Inn delivers strong food quality anchored by signature burgers and well-executed small plates in an idyllic Cotswold village setting with genuine warmth. However, inconsistent execution—cold mains, missed sides, and variable service pacing during busy nights—prevents the higher grade this kitchen's best work deserves. Worth visiting for the setting and when timing aligns, but reliability gaps keep it from competing with the region's most dependable dining destinations.
One caveat: Strict time slots for tables and groups can feel rushed at peak times
