Set just outside Reading in the pretty village of Kidmore End, The New Inn blends the traditional character of a English country hostelry with a menu of modern gastro-pub classics. Wooden beams, open fireplaces and wide-boarded oak flooring preserve the period charm inside, with outdoor seating to make the most of sunny days. Local produce abounds on the appetising menu, which features dishes such as crayfish tails tossed in rocket and lime, juicy rib-eye steak and whole grilled lemon sole.
