The New Inn was situated on Yattendon Road. This pub is now in residential use.
From The Good Pub Guide 1983:
Natural and without gimmicks, this friendly and very well-kept pub has many admirers, not least for its sensibly priced simple food: sandwiches (from 55p), toasted sandwiches, ploughman's (from 95p), cottage pie (£1.20), chicken (£1.30), salads (from £1.30), and so on up to duck (£4.65) and sirloin steak (£4.75). Morland Mild, Bitter and Best on handpump are kept well. The lively and cheerful public bar has darts, dominoes, a juke box and a fruit machine, with simple furniture on its bare boards. The carpeted back lounge has a log fire, horse brasses on the low black beams in its bulgey ceiling, upholstered stools and wall benches, and pictures of horses and reproduction coaching prints above them. It opens on to a big lawn with sheltered seats on a terrace by the tiled white pebbledash house, then more - and a swing and children's play area - among roses, conifers and fruit trees; there are Shetland ponies in the paddock beyond a post and rails fence.
