A Hidden Gem in Bacup: Exploring the New Inn Menu
11 Rochdale Rd, Bacup OL13 9NW, United Kingdom
As a seasoned food reviewer and local cuisine enthusiast, I recently had the pleasure of visiting the New Inn in Bacup-a place that’s gaining attention for good reason. Nestled in the heart of town, the New Inn Menu offers a delightful balance of traditional British pub fare and inventive culinary surprises.
From the outset, the menu impressed with its thoughtful layout and variety. I sampled their signature steak and ale pie, which was a standout-tender, slow-cooked beef in a rich, savory gravy encased in flaky golden pastry. The side of chunky chips was crisp on the outside, fluffy inside, seasoned just right. Another highlight was the Pan-Fried Sea Bass, a newer addition to the menu, served with a lemon herb butter and crushed new potatoes-an elegant dish that rivals fine dining establishments in nearby cities.
What sets the New Inn Menu apart is its commitment to freshness and local sourcing. Vegetarians and gluten-free diners will appreciate the clearly labeled options, such as the Stuffed Bell Peppers with couscous and feta, which my companion found delicious and hearty.
Compared to similar establishments in the Rossendale Valley, the New Inn excels in both flavor and portion size. Prices are fair, with most mains ranging from £10-£16, offering excellent value. The pub’s rustic charm and friendly staff further elevate the experience, making it not just a place to eat, but one to return to.
Whether you're a local or passing through, the New Inn Menu at 11 Rochdale Rd is worth your attention. For a well-executed blend of comfort and creativity, this spot earns a strong recommendation.
