The New Inn, Walton Wakefield Yorkshire. Having undergone a complete refurbishment both internally and externally followed by an outstanding transformation to the menu, variety of choice offered on the daily specials and willingness to adapt or alter, one would have questioned what else could be done. A further visit saw the soft furnishings, drapes and both stunning yet subtle festive decorations. Presumably the intention to create a cosy and friendly ambience with first class service and beautiful food has not only been achieved but surpassed.

Had a late Sunday lunch with the family, was surprised you could choose from the specials board as well as from the traditional Sunday menu. I had chicken in a garlic mushroom sauce which was delicious, the veg were cooked to perfection too. My eldest son chose the New Inn Burger and declared it the best he had ever eaten, it came on a wooden board with all the trimmings, and the most divine chips ever! The rest of the group chose Sunday roast , lots of good quality meat, and 4 well cleared plates were handed back to the friendly waitress! For some reason the pub has been re-furbished again - within a year by the new owners, lots of guest ales to choose from and quality wines, and the entire place has a really welcoming and cosy atmosphere. Came in at around £34 for food for 4 of us, amazing for the quality and portions. Compliments to all, especially the chef! We will be back!!,

Picking up on the positive reviews and looking for a local pub meal, my wife and I called in Sunday and were thoroughly impressed! The pub is beautifully presented inside and has some really nice touches like the candles on every table which really create a warm and cosy winter atmosphere. We ordered 2 starters and 2 main courses and I would particularly recommend my homemade Pâté (excellent) and the delicious, well cooked steak which my wife enjoyed.The bar stocks plenty of real ale (I particularly enjoyed Ossett brewery movember) and the warm welcome is what we find so important in a country pub. If we had one complaint it may have been slightly more knowledgable service - particularly when we asked for a wine recommendation.Overall however, very good indeed - we will return.

Visited the New Inn last night, there were 9 of us dining, not a single complaint. The food was great, I had the rump steak cooked to perfection . Great atmosphere as you'd expect from a quaint village pub, will return again.

Having visited the new inn the night before last (7/11/12) I couldn't have had a more different experience to the one that "mike" talks about in earlier comments, I too had the "New Inn Burger" that was truly fantastic value for money, and cooked to perfection. My partner enjoyed the homemade spicy goulash - discribed as mouthwatering.I will return to the New Inn for sure and would recommend anybody who wants to enjoy great food, a huge range of local real ales and a warming country pub atmosphere to visit it right away. It's refreshing to see a pub on the up inspire of the difficult economic climate....... WELL DONE!!

First used the restaurant shortly after the new owners took over and was impressed by the meal and the menu. Made a second visit a few weeks later and the meal was a bit disappointing. Last night (11/9/12) five of us decided to go for a meal, it was early and we were the only diners. I was disappointed that the menu was the same as earlier in the year when we first visited. I ordered Garlic Mushrooms and when it came it consisted of no more than two mushrooms thinly sliced and swimming in a cream sauce, i was luckier than one of our five though, her starter (ribs) had been forgotten and only arrived when the rest of us had finished. When it did arrive instead of falling off the bone the meat had to be forced off with a knife and my friend just gave up on it.The main courses arrived, well four did, this time it was me who was forgotton. My New Inn Burger eventually arrived and it was as if it had been left on the side and then thrown in the microwave before serving. The burger was dry, the bread roll was hard round the edges and the chips had been warmed up.As we all had something to complain about we decided not to risk dessert and asked for the bill. Talk about adding insult to injury, two guest beers had been added to the bill, we had been drinking wine and soft drinks so it wasn't ours, fair do's it was taken off when we complained.We have probably had worst meals in a greasy spoon or motorway cafe but I cannot remember when, I am not suprised that we were the only ones in the restaurant.

We visited the New Inn for my brother's birthday recently. The new decor is fantastic, chic but retaining that village pub feel that we wouldn't want it to loose. The new menu caters for a wide variety of tastes and the food was a very good standard. Our waitress, Margaret, was fantastic, patient, courteous and accommodating. The new owners are doing a brilliant job and we would highly recommend a visit.
