The New Inn - Clitheroe


Situated at the foot of Clitheroe Castle, The New Inn is certainly the best place in town to get a pint of beer. There are 4 real ales on during the week, with a couple more at the weekends. All are served perfectly, and so it's no surprise that it's in the 2007 Good Beer Guide. The choice of ales varies with the season, but there's always a mixture of classics and unusual beers. Coachhouse Coachman's is always on tap, and it's a great choice if low on pennies.

They have managed to avoid the urge to knock out interior walls, like so many pubs of it's age, and instead there are a number of rooms, each with individual character. They have concentrated on the beer, so there's no food available. No fruit machines or jukeboxes either.
It's usually pretty busy attracting an older crowd, including what seems to be an inordinate number of teachers. Undoubtably the best pub in Clitheroe.

Yes the best pub in Clitheroe by miles.

Maybe one day pubs will start putting walls back up where they originally where and get that homely pub atmosphere back.

Just a shame about the lady behind the bar who seems totally uninterested when your not a local and definetly hasn't been to charm school
