The Newbridge Inn

A stealthy river mist sometimes creeps across the garden of this secluded roadside inn, making the snug jigsaw of loungeable rooms inside even more inviting. In the lighter, airier dining areas, recent changes to the menu have ushered in a new informality that sits well with decor that’s modern but strong on tradition: begin with Cornish fishcakes & sweet chilli sauce or leek & saffron risotto with tomato oil & parmesan, followed by Old Spot pork loin with grain mustard mash, perhaps caramelised onion tart, or Welsh lamb leg steak from the char grill. Add rustic chips or perhaps seasonal vegetables on the side, then finish with vanilla bean & mascarpone cheesecake with red berry compote or orange & hazelnut pancakes with vanilla ice cream. The whole operation exudes professional charm & efficiency. The aforementioned, pristine riverside garden overlooks the bridge, its arches beautifully floodlit at night.
