The New Inn sits on Chalkhouse Green Road in the village of Kidmore End, a short drive from Reading. This independent pub and restaurant is surrounded by picturesque countryside, making it a destination for those seeking a rural dining experience.
The building itself is a traditional village pub, complete with a bar area and a separate dining room. Outside, there is a large garden with plenty of seating, making it a good choice for al fresco dining when the weather allows. The layout accommodates both casual drinkers and diners, with space for families, groups, and couples alike.
The menu focuses on modern British cuisine, with a mix of pub classics and seasonal dishes. Starters, mains, and desserts are offered alongside a selection of lighter bites and sharing boards. Ingredients are locally sourced where possible, and the menu changes to reflect the seasons. Signature dishes include beer-battered fish and chips, a range of steaks, and vegetarian options such as a wild mushroom and truffle risotto. Sunday roasts are also available, with a choice of meats and a vegetarian nut roast, served with all the traditional trimmings.
Bookings are recommended, particularly for weekends and Sunday lunch. The New Inn also offers a takeaway service, allowing diners to enjoy its pub favourites at home.
