The New Inn

COLEFORD, Crediton, EX17 5BZ

The attractive 13th-century building with thatched roof makes a perfect home for this friendly inn. The ancient slate floored bar with its old chests and polished brass blends effortlessly with fresh white walls, original oak beams and simple wooden furniture in the dining room. Set beside the River Cole, the garden is perfect for alfresco summer dining, when you can ponder on the pub's history: it was used by travelling Cistercian monks long before Charles I reviewed his troops from a nearby house during the English Civil War. Menus change regularly, and special events such as 'fish fest week' or 'sea shanty night' are interspersed throughout the year. Home-made bar food includes a range of soups, omelettes and platters, while a larger meal might include chicken, ham and mushroom pie or whole grilled sea bass served with an orange and lemon butter sauce. The pub's Amazon Blue parrot, called Captain, has been a famous fixture here for nearly 30 years, greeting bar regulars and guests booking into the six well-appointed bedrooms.
