New Inn, Newport

Very traditional old pub multi room with the servery to the side housing three pumps with Jennings Cumberland Ale and Salopian Shropshire Gold as guest, the third stump was blank.

Proper local , more corridors than rooms , you enter through a corridor , to the right is a snug with a fireplace over which is a huge pair of antlers , another corridor takes you to the pool room and then the beer garden , to the left is the bar with plenty of dominoes tables and a healthy bustle around the dartboard , 3 ales on Speckled Hen , Bankss Bitter and a decent Enville Ale , this place is a throwback to the 70s , plenty of banter going on and unlike most Bankss pubs unspoilt by progress

slightly out of the way down the stafford road, but not a bad pint, very traditional local pub.
