The New Inn Ealing in Acton

You know, when I popped into The New Inn, it just had that warm, homely feel that's hard to beat – think friendly faces behind the bar, like Peter who went out of his way to help someone in a pinch, making the whole experience feel personal and genuine. The food's a real highlight too; those Sunday roasts in the garden are spot on, with fresh, seasonal flavours that leave you satisfied, and it's clear the team puts heart into every dish. It's brilliant for all sorts of occasions, whether you're nipping in for a coffee, enjoying a leisurely lunch, or hosting a get-together like a Christmas party where the staff pull out all the stops to make it memorable. On the flip side, it does fill up quickly, so you might end up waiting if you haven't booked, and the food service winds down a bit early, which could be a nudge to plan around that. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good time in Ealing, with that community spirit shining through, though keeping an eye on the busier times will make for a smoother visit.
