The New Inn 16th Century Former Coaching Inn
12 Bed & Breakfast Bedrooms
British Cuisine & Palmers Ales
(280)

This beautiful 16th century former coaching inn is an iconic building located in the heart of Cerne Abbas, one of the prettiest villages in England. Recognition in the major guide books has come and The Good Pub Guide awarded us County Dining Pub of the Year. The village is within easy reach of Weymouth, Bridport and Shaftsbury. It is also the perfect stop-off point for those coming to or from Devon and Cornwall. Journey-time by car from London is approximately 2½ hours and there is a good train service to both the aforementioned county towns where taxi transfers can be arranged

Autumn means the start of shoot season here at The New Inn 🍂

Our chefs have had a delivery of pheasant from a local gamekeeper, ready to be prepped and turned into our main course for our Game & Bordeaux evening next Friday.

A proper taste of the season, with good food and even better w**e.

We still have a few tables available, see previous post for details🍷
