The New Inn

A Proper Devon Pub

With proper cider & craft beer

The New Inn

400 years of rustic charm

Tucked amongst the rambling hedgerows of England’s fabled cider country, The New Inn has matured into something of a destination pub, jealously shared with pathfinders by its chocolate-box village of Roborough.

Specialising in delightfully honest food, washed down with local craft beers & ciders, we prefer the unhurried quality of surrounding farms and independent producers to do the talking.

With a real ale accredited by CAMRA, The New Inn was also crowned CAMRA ‘North Devon Cider Pub of the Year’ twice in a row, and prides itself on championing uncompromised flavours of the region.

Great place, amazing food! Whilst staying in the area we wanted a nice family meal, having found The New Inn to be close by to where we were staying we booked a table. It's a bit off the beaten track but 100% worth the trip. A quaint, homely, welcoming...M pub with a traditional British pub feel. The food was to die for, incredible quality and a place I would happily return to again and again... As food lovers i can't recommend this place highly enough.

Excellent rural lunch Very pleasant lunch at the New Inn, nice venison stew and excellent popadoms with the curry, both with Sam’s cider - very nice. Good menu deserves more visits to this very nice rural pub.

Great food, warm atmosphere, lovely people Tim and Nutcha are always so welcoming whenever we visit. They have sometimes gone out of their way to accommodate us, once opening at lunchtime just for us and our party of 10. (We did give them a small amount of warning!) We last went...M with friends who were visiting us and we had an excellent light, late lunch, refreshing drinks and the best ice cream. So enjoyable.

INDEPENDENT DISTILLERIES

About us

Greetings from new landlords at the Roborough pub, Tim & Nutcha!

We recently refurbished the New Inn to upgrade our kitchen, bar and heating, together with improvements to the menu and beverage selection.

More ‘rustic family-run pub’ than ‘gastro’, this shows in our authentic decor, homemade food, local beverage, prices, and even the banter with guests. Plus we love experimenting with ideas for our entertainment & menus, so while seeking to source ethically where possible, suggestions are most welcome! Bear in mind: our cooking is fresh to order, and we only serve what we would put on our own table.

If you love your ales, we keep our beer well and the range interesting! But if you do ever fancy something different, Nutcha will be happy to muddle up fresh & professionally-made cocktails – somewhat of a rarity in North Devon!

There’s definitely enough excuses to visit, so please join us for a roast lunch, an acoustic jam session, one of our quiz nights, theme parties – or just a proper glass of something refreshing by our open fire. We can’t wait to meet you!

Please visit our Facebook page for regular updates about our food, entertainment schedule and much more!
