We were on the way to see the caern giant and wanted to stop for something to eat. There were a few places to choose from but as soon as we popped our heads in at the new inn we were very warmly greeted and welcomed in. The lady that served us was extremely friendly and credit to the establishment. She recommended the shrimp burgers and the way she described them made them sound so delicious two of our party didn’t even need to look at the menu. Everything was delicious and fresh and we would eat there everyday if we could.
Very cold unwelcoming atmosphere, bar staff are very rude. Me and my friends came into the pub for a drink and potentially some food in the garden after having driven to Cerne from Weymouth. The bar lady interrupted my friend when she was ordering rudely asking for ID when all that was ordered was an orange juice and lemonade, not to mention that alone was almost £5!!!!, the whole place gave a cold vibe. won’t be returning didn't feel welcomed and it set the mood of what was supposed to be a nice evening out into a bad one.
We visited after a 3 hour walk for a very late lunch. Landlords Annette and Julian were incredibly welcoming even though we were late. The menu was unexpected with my truffled gnocchi and a friend’s prawn burger being highlights. I wish I had wine as Annette was very knowledgeable. Next time !
Lunched here today, 26 July, with an old colleague, (just two old farts reminiscing) and everything was excellent. All I can say is Rick Stein needs to try the New Inn fishcakes, after my experience in Sandbanks, Poole.
