The New Inn has now been up and running for nearly a year after a massive effort by the village to raise funds to re-open. Gary and Sandra are superb hosts and with the addition of the new chef, Shane Affleck, there is a superb variety of dishes to choose from. For more details of what is on offer the website is:

The New Inn closed in October 2005. Like many small rural pubs it had been struggling to make ends meet for some time and the owners, Palmers Brewery, decided that it was no longer viable. The villagers, however, decided otherwise and a meeting in December endorsed an approach to the brewery to lease the pub. The New Inn Support Group was formed and to date we have been offered a lease on reasonable terms, our fund-raising activities are flourishing, and we have found a superb couple with a strong licensing background who have agreed to join us and run the pub. Refurbishments to the New Inn are about to commence and a re-opening date is planned for May/June 2006.
