Quinno _ left this review about The New Inn
Popped in for a beer on an unscheduled stop-off due to our tour organizer realizing it was listed as a heritage pub.
The signs on the outside aren't promising - the paintwork is peeling and the pub sign is falling apart. When you venture inside, you find a similar story. There's a lot of dilapidation in the big front bar that needs addressing; the old bits of wood, real fire and ancient brewania don't really compensate for the fact that the place is a bit of a dump - it needs a lot of TLC (just a lick of paint would be a start) but there is a nice pub waiting to spring out as some of the uploaded photos above testify. Oddly, the only part of the place which has been done up to any great degree is the back room, which only hosts a pool table which takes up all the space - so much for the drinkers!
Beer-wise, there were two ales on; Harveys Sussex Best (average) and a Tom Woods (Bomber County I think) which went off almost immediately when we arrived...no great shakes.
All in all, I could only say it's worth popping in for a swift half at present but I really hope that someone can take hold of this place and turn it into the pub it could and should be.
