What a great place to have a drink and something eat. Have no idea what the previous two reviews are about as this is one of the best country pubs in North Somerset.

Stunning views over Blagdon Lake, plenty of parking so no having to squeeze your car into some pokey space at the back of the pub, great food, good beer and friendly staff.

Oh yeah! And it's one of the few pubs I've been to in the past few years where there's actually people in the pub and an enjoyable atmosphere in the air.

Sadly, too many pubs today are largely uninhabited and empty of punters so a full pub is a good pub in my eyes.

In fact, I've never seen the place less than three-quarters full and that includes mid-week so I have no idea why someone decided to give it a bad review.

I think sometimes the web is a haven for people who've had a bad day and a useful outlet to get something of the old chest.

I've never had cause to complain about anything at the New Inn and I'm not a local and probably pop in once a month for a drink and some food and suggest you do the same.

I think seeing is believing and you should do you best to make this a place to a look around as you'll not find a much better country pub south of Bristol.

PART 2” and said “I’m happy to pay for the starter and drinks as they were fine”. She laughed at me, and then argued with me saying that her food was fine and I just wasted it.

She told my girlfriend she should have at least eaten her chips! How rude! My patients then dropped and I said I’m not paying for the meals as they were not expectable.

She perused not to refund me my main meal and told me that her food was fine. She was rude, obnoxious, vulgar and loud, making an embarrassment to her self.

My main meal was 8.50, in the end she charged me for our starter, drinks and charged me 5.75 because I ate my chicken from my pie! I gave up by this point as I could see that she thought her food was god’s gift. I felt robbed and left the pub with my girlfriend upset and hungry.

Before I did leave I left her with a question… “what is the first thing I’m going to talk about when I go back to my local pub?

And “what’s the first thing I’m going to talk about with my friends and family” she said “your more that welcome” if only she dealt with the situation better I probably would not be writing this.

Want a good meal? Good service? Warm eating area? DON’T GO TO THE NEW INN BLAGDON!

Most weekends I go to restaurants or have pub dinners. Even when the food isn’t quite up together I never complain. Typically the pubs and restaurants round my area are fine.

This particular weekend I visited The New Inn Blagdon with my girlfriend, Walking into the pub it was half full with people, nice lighting and fairly warm welcome when greeted. I was sat down next the fire place which wasn’t lit, (even though it was rather cold that evening) I felt cold and I wasn’t the only people saying the same thing.

They had a small main meal choice, with 5 or 7 specials which is understandable for a small pub. My girlfriend ordered steak, and I had the chicken, bacon and leek pie. The pie had a leather rubbery top, it wasn’t in a separate dish, just a measly small slice.

The veg was over cooked and colourless leaving it with no taste. The pastry wasn’t prepared properly and it was soggy. Chicken….well I found two bits and I triangle shaped bit of bacon.

I wasn’t impressed and just simply picked at it. My girlfriend’s food was a Fatty lumpy steak that needed a chain saw to get through. She ordered it Medium which when served was a bit bloody for her taste. So I asked kindly for it to go back on the grill a little more, which they happily did for us.

While we waited she looked at the stilton source she ordered, it was not fresh and gloopy. When the steak came back it was simply flashed on the grill, burned on the out side and still the same on the inside.

She was hungry but she left it, (not the norm with her at all) I then took another look at my food and decided to leave it. I then asked the waitress to take our food away as I was not impressed with it and no longer wanted to eat it.

I said this very quietly to not raise any other customer’s eye brows within the pub. When I came to pay, the chief came out and said “what we have decided to do is charge you for your starter, drinks, and your

There is nothing better than being here in the summer, the beers good and the views are great. What more could anyone want?
