The New Inn - Wiltshire

On a damp and dull day in Salisbury the roaring log fire was a welcome site. The barman/waiter was pleasant and helpful and the food was well cooked standard pub grub. Ideal for a break in a city that’s currently looking rather tired and messy (lots of work being done on rejuvenation so should be better in a year or so).

Lovely old building with a sun trap of a garden in the rear. The French onion soup was delicious and the wraps tasty with a generous portion of fries on the side. Friendly staff.

We read the menu a week ago from the website,booked a table.no email reply, rang on the day ,no problem we will fit you in. We were given a menu that was nothing like on website,very basic. When i queried this was told website was totally out of date as was their answering system. Had to settle for very expensive burger and chips,burger burnt on one side,partners scampi was OK. We just eat and left. Spoke to 2 american ladies who had the same problem with out of date website. I do not recommend this lovely old pub for food There is a big chain pub just around the corner with more choice and better food at half the price

I entered The New Inn, Salisbury, yesterday seeking retreat from the pouring rain and to meet my son after work. I was served at the bar by Harry. I sat on a lovely leather sofa with my book. Harry brought my drink to the table then proceeded to light the fire for me. I was very grateful for his thoughtfulness; the day was wet cold, and the fire was appreciated. My son and I spent a lovely two hours chatting and enjoying the atmosphere and warmth of this charming old pub with its beamed ceilings and large fireplace. I'd like to especially thank Harry who was welcoming, friendly and professional and helped to make my afternoon very enjoyable. I recommend The New Inn to everybody cosy in the winter, a lovely beer garden overlooking the cathedral Close on sunny days.

Popped into the New Inn today for lunch on a visit to Salisbury, shopping and cathedral. Warm welcome on arriving, excellent wraps, 1 prawn chilli and 1 steak mushroom both accompanied by a very large bowl of' spot-on', fries and good value. Great, friendly, service throughout. Would highly recommend.
