New Inn Cerne Abbas in West Dorset

We went for dinner on a wet and windy Thursday evening. We did not book but we were welcomed with our 3 damp labradors. Great beer and gin, amazing food, fantastic service by attentive and caring lady. Wonderful atmosphere. This is a high end hidden gem. If you love good food in a very friendly pub, Go there. It's truly one of the best meals we have had.

Stopped overnight as a family utilising 3 rooms. This is service the way it should be from arrival to departure. A perfect break.

Spent the day visiting Cerne Abbas, walking up Giant Hill, exploring the village etc. We chose The New Inn for lunch on the basis their menu looked a little nicer than most regular pubs. We were not disappointed!!!! Such a beautiful and well kept building for starters. The service was excellent. And the food was AMAZING!! Top notch restaurant style, but at gastro pub prices. Would definitely recommend taking a drive out to visit The New Inn.

What a delightful Sunday Lunch. The beef was of the highest quality and the vegetables cooked to perfection all topped off with a whopping Yorkshire! Set within a cosy beautifully decorated pub with efficient friendly staff what more could you wish for. At £25 it’s a little more than other venues but the quality and generous vegetable portions are worth every penny extra. Cannot wait to head back soon!

Julian & Annette run this delightful hotel in Cerne Abbas. Their attention to detail is impressive and their food is always delicious and eclectic showcasing local food. Best food by far in this part of Dorset

We had a short break here. Superb service. Lovely room, great breakfast and dinner. Nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend highly.

The New Inn is a wonderful find. The food was excellent, the service was very friendly and the beer was wonderful. We were looked after supremely. These guys definitely know what they’re doing. Can’t recommend this place enough. A must if you’re visiting Dorset.

Our hosts, Julian and Annette were most hospitable. They run a small dining room and I suggest you book dinner ahead of time. We didn’t and ate at the Royal Oak. Unfortunately we only stayed one night. Pub is quaint and the accommodation in renovated stables. The village of Cerne Abbass is totally charming. Accommodation- bed comfortable, shower hot, everything you need. Breakfast was over and beyond, simply fabulous.

First time in the new inn. The interior is very nice with a mix of soft and wooden seating. More of a restaurant than a pub I feel. However I ordered a pint of palmers gold. Sad to say that this also had the sour taste beer takes on if the pipes are not in good condition and washed out with care. Pity.

Had a fantastic 3 night stay food excellent as was the spacious bedroom. Staff were very friendly and helpful would highly recommend staying there.

Called in for a light lunch after a four mile walk around the 'giants hill'. Friendly service delicious fish and chip butty on crusty bread with homemade accompaniments of tartar sauce,coleslaw and honey and mustard salad dressing. Highly recommended 👌

We live in the village and had family visiting from the US for a few days. Our family stayed at the New Inn for a few days and one evening we had a large family meal there, before which we sat in lovely the beer garden enjoying the sunshine As our visitors described it the venue is beautiful, the hosts “awesome” and the food “perfect”

What can I say? New Inn, which web-describes itself as a "beautiful 17th (?) c. former coaching inn in an iconic building in the heart of Cerne Abbas, one of the prettiest villages in England", is genteely decorated in those muted colours currently loved by a plethora of Inns and gastro-pubs dotted around the country, and is now so blandly well-groomed as to have lost whatever "character" and "magic" it may once have possessed. Hoping for one of its own webpage-described "fabulous food in a charming setting" experiences for our special Birthday lunch, the sample web-menu, when we booked, promised much. On the day, the weather behavd itself and we were seated in outside on the patio ....my husband ordered (and received!) a very nicely-cooked (@30) steak. I, finding that the delicious-sounding celeriac soup I'd noticed on the web-sample menu was no longer on the menu, looked for another starter. Asking how many king scallops (@£14) came in the portion was told there were 3, and, thinking the price a tad steep for only 3, I opted, instead for a starter, (also @£14) which sounded great, of "asparagus and pecorino cheese in a chili salsa...." Well, my delicious-sounding £14 starter of asparagus/pecorino/chili turned out to be, when it materialized ........a biggish white plate on which were grandly sat a teaspoon-size dollop of green/white stuff (presumably the pecorino ?, but tasting of absolutely nothing) and..... wait for it!..... THREE bright green spears of asparagus set on top of a minute smear of chili-ish oil. In short, here, at New Inn, it seems that sometimes "you get what you pay for" (and sometimes you don't!)

Monday is not a good choice for a pub meal in Cerne Abbas as the best option is closed and the other two, including the New Inn do not offer their full dinner menu. The New Inn has a “Burger Night” menu which my wife tried an I had moules and fries which were good. However, my wife reported that her burger was dry and tasteless.

Just home from a 4 night stay. The new inn is perfect. Gorgeous room with daily room service and mini fridge stocked with complimentary fresh milk and water plus a few other bits at a very reasonable price. A beautiful pub with a good selection of cider, ales and wines, fantastic food, breakfast (the best scrambled eggs) lunch (gorgeous sandwiches) and dinner (omg the steak was amazing). The owners are two of the loveliest people who made our stay with our two dogs wonderful. This was our third time staying, and we are planning the fourth.

The team at The New Inn are exceptional, service for our wedding party was outstanding. They went above and beyond to make our lives that little bit easier when trying to get everything organised. We organised mainly with Annette who accommodated any requests (within reason) and was more than happy to help! The staff serving on the day were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable within drink and menu items. I cannot thank The New Inn enough for making our special day as calming and relaxing as they did. You truly are an exceptional pub and restaurant

Such a beautiful old coaching inn. Had the best sandwiches we've ever had. Homemade rosemary focaccia baps - one with delicious steak and spicy mayo, and one with dreamy mozzarella, beans, spring onion and a gorgeous sauce. Service was so welcoming and attentive too.

Stayed for one night, lovely clean room. Quirky, charming building. Extremely friendly staff. Very good night's sleep. Nice choices for breakfast. We had Sunday lunch with friends. On the whole it was very good. The one thing I would pass on to the chef would be, if you are serving a vegetarian Sunday roast, please make some vegetarian gravy to go with it. Maybe make a batch and freeze it in portions if you don't use it every service.

Wow! What an amazing find. We went with our son and daughter in law for Sunday lunch, such a lovely place with character and lovely atmosphere. We didn’t have a starter as there was nothing that we fancied but the roast was amazing, we had the beef and chicken, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, green beans and cabbage all lovely and nice and hot. We had a pudding, that was amazing, highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding. Not the cheapest but well worth the money. Staff were attentive and service superb, well done all.

If you are in the area you must visit the New Inn, lovely old pub/Hotel in the heart of Cerne Abbas. The food was very tasty, great service, very clean and very welcoming. The owner? (Lady) advised me on the real ales available and explained the history to the Cerne Abbas giant just outside the village. There is a very nice courtyard space to the rear, perfect place for a pint after a long walk. Many thanks.

Really friendly place, the food, both dinner and breakfast were excellent. The room very clean and comfortable. I will definitely use this place again.

Beautiful hosts with a beautiful meal, we love staying here so quiet peaceful place, can take dogs and there most welcome

Afternoon tea, a new venture for the New Inn, is highly recommended. A glass of prosecco to start followed by finger sandwiches and wonderful cakes. Pana Cotta, lemon meringue, eclair, fudge, truffles and not forgetting fruit scones with jam and cream. Plentiful supply of tea/coffee. Looking forward to the next one

I have enjoyed many meals at The New Inn but todays heights reached a new level. The roast beef was simply faultless. As was everything that accompanied it. There are however people out there who dislike garlic. My guest and I have eaten all over the world and would possibly if pushed eat garlic as a main course. We both noticed that the sirloin had possibly been rubbed with some garlic or had some garlic salt sprinkled on it prior to cooking. Absolutely no problem to ourselves but possibly something to ask about if you dislike it. My only slight gripe is the price of wine by the glass. £9.70 for a large glass of Malbec is a tad pricey and add the service charge brings it to nearly £11.00 for a single glass. Wine prices in pubs has long been a gripe of mine. Having personally won wine pub of the year by the Good Pub Guide more years ago than I prefer to remember it is simply something that annoys me.

Lovely pub, friendly welcoming staff and delicious food - a lovely venue for a family get together .

Only place we found open in Cerne Abbas. Great food, friendly staff and will go back next time we are in the area

A lovely old coaching inn in the heart of Cerne Abbas. A very warm welcome from the bartender and locals alike. After much deliberation over what to choose we were then given the specials for the day, making our choice even harder! Finally settled on the steak and the beef pie with roasted cabbage. The steak was cooked to perfection and very flavoursome (it’s the only time my partner hasn’t reached for the salt and pepper). The pie was perfect, with a proper pastry top and bottom (not a stew with a lid masquerading as a pie). Crisp, delicate pastry, hearty meaty filling and the cabbage was a revelation, absolutely delicious. Thank you New Inn for a lovely evening.

I have visited this pub before and had a lovely meal but have recently visited again for a drink and was extremely disappointed at the pub’s atmosphere it was unpleasant from when we walked through the door and felt as though we were being judged left, right and center. The bar staff were very blunt and not welcoming at all, it did not have a friendly, relaxed vibe as a country pub like this should. I think it’s safe to say I have been put off visiting again unfortunately which is a shame as the food is good! Seeing as the bar staff are often the first faces you see when entering a pub a much more welcoming reception would go a long way with customers.

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 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.

Warm welcome on arrival, amazing dinner last night. Room (Allen - named after rivers) was clean and decent size. Really good breakfast. Cerne Abbas is a very pretty village. Enjoyed our stay v much.

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.

Consistent quality service with a friendly attention to detail made for another enjoyable experience. Summer opening hours enabled us to visit on Sunday evening. Thank you.

Lovely stay in this wonderful old coaching inn. Great room, food, beer, wine and service. Agree with other reviews that reverse accommodation would be much more practical in the 2 storey rooms.

Stayed overnight to celebrate a 50th anniversary. Accommodation excellent although it would have been better if the rooms were reversed i.e. lounge upstairs and beds downstairs. Another couple in our group said the same thing. Food excellent. But the honours go to Hayley (not sure of spelling so apologies to her if I have got it wrong.) Very helpful, cheerful and always on the go. We would definitely go again.

Just returned from an overnight stay. Fantastic old coaching Inn with large luxury rooms but in keeping with the age of the Inn. In walking distance to the Cerne Abbas Giant. Our evening meal was superbly cooked and presented. The staff were very helpful, cheerful and friendly. Wonderful range of dishes on the breakfast menu which were freshly cooked and served with real coffee. Would definitely stay again.

This was my third stay at this beautiful Inn and it was so comfortable and my room was spotless and there were lots of amenities as well. It's lovely sitting outside in the courtyard just relaxing with a glass of wine. The food each night...

5 star as usual! Never disappoints it's why we return again & again :) Always say we'll only have one maybe two courses and then out comes the delish sweets menu and resistance is futile! We love that it's been lovingly crafted and thought out...

We’ve just returned from a trip to Cerne Abbas where we rediscovered The New Inn. What a great place! We had three magnificent meals during our short stay. Each one was excellent. The service was friendly and courteous. Can’t recommend enough.

Didn’t have time to eat on this visit but enjoyed an amazing pint of Guinness in a fantastic building with friendly owners. Will definitely return.

The New Inn clearly is not that new. A lon-established pub and eatery in the heart of this charming village. The food was very good and had some interesting variations on basic pub-fare. we particularly enjoyed the Mditerrainian sharing platter. A friendly welcome and great...

The New Inn is a fabulous place to stay and dine. Julian, Annette and Hayley are great hosts. The rooms are fresh and clean . Dining at The New Inn is excellent with lots of choices and very high quality produce from local suppliers.

We had not realised it was burger night but there was a good choice. Lady serving us was brilliant and the food came promptly.

Great pub-the best in the village. Returned after some years and new owners have made it into a really relaxing beautiful pub, with highly tasteful furniture and detailing. The owners were helpful, charming and accomodating. Food more costly than other local pubs perhaps but worth...

Fabulous friendly pub with great food and atmosphere. Dog was welcome and we had a great lunch with very varied menu. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The New Inn. The dinner and breakfast were both excellent and our hostess gave us marvellous service with a smile. The rooms were comfortable, clean and warm. To be strongly recommended!

Stopped in for a light lunch and we’re bowled over by the quality of the fish sharing platter. Every morsel as delicious: smoked mackerel, mackerel pâté, scampi, crevettes, anchovies. Great fries. Warm welcome & good service. Will come again.

Ate here with my family. What stunning food! The main menu was very tasty. Our charcuterie board to start was lovely with a nice assortment of different meats. My lamb was cooked excellently however the side plate of broccoli was over cooked. Even the 'cheap'...

Can't recommend too highly. The Chef is to be congratulated on his cooking - the meat of whichever variety - was superb and the fish wonderful. The staff and owners made us feel that they could not do enough for us.

We stayed for 3 nights Very professional outfit, Attention to detail. upmarket without being snooty Dinner one night and breakfast each morning Plenty of attractive outside seating Would return

Warm and friendly welcome was followed by good service and very good food. An apple and celeriac soup was very good as were scallops though these should have been warmer. A sharing fish plate was alright but the burger was very good. The pleasant ambience...

Good beer and delicious sandwich selection served in pretty outdoor seating area. Recommend smoked salmon on focaccia and pastram particularly.

Visited on holiday. Warm welcome, covid security on operation. Staff very friendly and courteous. Food was freshly prepared very tasty and good portions. Pity it is not close to home for regular visits.

Nice pub although expensive. Food was nice but they need to cater for vegetarians or even vegans in this day and age. Having 4 different fish options and 3 different steaks and then leaving my wife with a sharing starter as the only veggie option...

What a lovely place! New Inn is set if a lovely historic village, well worth the trip on its own. The rooms are modern well decorated and very clean. More importantly Annette and Julian run a super team of people. Welcoming, organised and wanting to...

A lovely pub with friendly staff. We enjoyed the shared fish platter, cheese board and cake & tea dessert.

I came for lunch on Saturday for the first time with my husband and dog. We were immediately greeted by the friendly staff. We quickly discovered this is a dog friendly pub and our furry friend was made very welcome with a treat and water on arrival. The menu choice was amazing and the service was friendly and attentive. On arrival the appearance of the food was 5 star and most importantly the food was fresh and delicious. My husband tried the local Dorset cider, Orchard Haze, it is a lovely cloudy and crisp cider for a hot summer day, definitely worth a try whilst in Dorset!The facilities are well maintained and there is dedicated parking to the rear of the pub which makes finding parking much easier during the busy holiday season. There is plenty of outdoor seating with a beautiful garden so children and dogs have space to play. The pub is located in the picturesque village of Cerne Abbas with beautiful old buildings, well worth a look. The ancient Chalk Cene Giant is within walking distance from the pub. So we decided to walk off all the delicious food and had a coffee on our return from the Giant, ready for the journey home. We had a really great all round experience and are really excited to visit again, although next time, stay in one of the rooms at the pub so we can explore more of the Dorset delights.

Friendly staff, spotlessly clean, good food. Possibly a little pricey, but a lovely pub with a good menu.

Four of us for dinner on a quiet winter night. Our expectations were that we would be faced with a limited menu and a reduced service. Not a bit of it. We were greeted and seated with humour and a pleasant reception. Our drinks order was taken and came very quickly. The dining room has a relaxed ambiance and the staff were fantastic. The menu was a super selection of imaginative dishes as well as a specials selection that matched it. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. They tend to use French words to describe some of the dishes and my advice to these people is to stop it! Having travelled extensively in French my experience is that most French food is over-rated, over-priced and very rustic. This food is certainly not that and can leave the French standing believe me it is that good. This is not “high end” dining and doesn’t pretend to be but it is excellent gastropub fare. They have nice wine selection and the wine was good, no question about that, but the prices are perhaps a little too expensive for the varieties on offer. A nice bar, good beer and a wide selection of gins all add to make your visit very enjoyable indeed.

We last came here 18 years ago when we stayed one night on a walking holiday. It has definitely changed since then! Only popped in for a quick drink (this time with children in tow) but they were very welcoming even with our muddy boots even though they were getting ready for a private event. A small but varied range of well kept beers and a good atmosphere. Just what you need.

My wife, two children and I ate dinner here for my birthday. The food was excellent, the service very polite and friendly and the ambience warm and welcoming. Although not cheap we thought it worth the money and would eat here again.

Thanks Annette and Adrian for superb tasty lamb and harissa burger and chips last night. Great value with drink included for £15. Excellent service as always.

Spent the night at The New Inn for my wife's birthday. Absolutely brilliant time. Haley, Annette & Julien are fantastic hosts. The room was lovely, food was great and our dog was made really welcome as well. Definitely recommend and will return.

I visited with a group of 4 friends on Saturday 1st Feb. The meal was outstanding and the service exemplary . We had two vegans in our party and the waitress was very knowledgeable about ingredients of each dish and very accommodating of their needs.Great selection of gin at the bar (even some Cornish ones!) and a good choice of wines. We had a great evening and would highly recommend this venue.

So we went for a family meal on a Sunday. Waitress was pleasant enough but if you use a lot of foreign words in the menu it might be an idea to learn how to pronounce them. Starters of soup were good. However the Harissa Beef Burger was shocking. The bun was so stale is was set solid, the meat was dry and crumbly, the chips so thin and overcooked that they resembled breadsticks and the salad dead as a dodo. But the worst of it was the incredibly noisy people .... the worst sort of female great bore of today giving her mindless political views .. holding a shouted conversation over our heads throughout the meal. Even when we moved they didn’t take the hint. The management of the pub really should have suggested they got a table together in a hidden alcove. We abandoned dessert and won’t go again.

We both been absolutely delighted with our lunch there.sitting outside in the courtyard added an extra value. Lovely time, thank you!

I’ve dined here only once unfortunately! The food was amazing, the staff were super friendly and very understanding of my fussy nature! On a separate occasion I Popped in one evening with the dog to be greeted with dog friendly Ice cream!

A superb lunch in a very comfortable and beautifully appointed restaurant. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. The professional standards here easily outclass everywhere else we’ve tried within Dorset. Thankyou all.

Checked in after a longish drive down, with a stop at nearby Old Sarum. I was famished and my wife was peckish. She had the soup of the day, with an ample portion accompanied with bread and butter. I had the shin of beef special. It was beautifully presented and, though seemingly a small portion on a large plate, it was just enough and left room for dessert. The quality of the produce was evident and the flavour, astonishing!! We had a medly of sweet goodies for dessert and over-all, one of he best meals I've had in a long time. Staff at the New Inn are extremely friendly and professional.

Stopped off here on the way through and had a fantastic lunch served by great hosts! Awesome food and service. Thank you

First visit to the New Inn at Cerne Abbas ‘very nice pub ‘food was well cooked and seasoned the service was okay

We identified this as a possible place for dinner when researching on TripAdvisor for places to eat near to where we were staying.

We stayed for one night and we were so pleased with our overall stay. The weather was awful on the Friday so we didn't get to explore the village, but it looked so pretty. The inn is in the centre of the village and there is ample parking to the rear (it is also in walking distance to The Giant). We had a lovely welcome from Annette who showed us to the beautiful Winterbourne Suite. The facilities in the room were perfect, everything that you'd need and enough towels!

Enjoyed a light lunch in this pretty pub in Cerne Abbas. Good food, great service. One of our party lef their glasses behind and the pub happily sent the glasses on to them in the post. Recommended.
