To be found on the rather busy Caerphilly Road, it's easy to bypass this pub for The Aneurin Bevan or The Birchgrove, and to be honest you will not be missing out on much.
That's not to say that The New Inn (or THE N W INN as the sign reads) is in any way unpleasant. It is a perfectly fine and clean pub, just a bit "meh" if you'll excuse the vernacular. It has an oddly cold feel about it, like an airport departure lounge has. Maybe that is to do with the weird carpet, resembling something like Captain Beefheart saw every time he closed his eyes during the recording of Trout Mask Replica.
The New Inn has Magners on tap, Brains Bitter and Hancocks HB on cask and a variety of Koppabergs and even Barcadi Breezers (do people still drink them?) in the fridges. There's a pool table, a darts board and a bonkers quiz machine with two screens called an Open Machine. There are comfy seats galore and a hearty if standard-looking menu.
