The New Inn at Heckfield
A country pub with heritage, hospitality and heart
The New Inn is a Grade II listed country pub and hotel located in the village of Heckfield, Hampshire. With its traditional architecture, open fires and countryside setting, it offers a relaxed and welcoming environment for locals, travellers and overnight guests. The business is independently owned and operated by a close-knit team with deep ties to the area, and it combines classic pub values with modern comfort.
History
The New Inn has long been part of Heckfield’s local landscape. The building itself is Grade II listed, reflecting its architectural and historical significance. After 25 years away from family ownership, the pub was recently brought back into the hands of the original family, marking a new chapter in its story.
The current team has worked together for many years, and their shared experience contributes to the consistency and warmth of the service. The restoration of the pub has focused on preserving its character while updating the facilities to meet modern expectations. The return to family ownership has also brought renewed energy and a clear vision for the future: to offer good food, comfortable rooms and a genuine welcome.
Food and restaurant
The New Inn serves a menu of home-cooked dishes made with ingredients sourced from local artisan suppliers. The food offering is designed to be familiar, satisfying and seasonal, with an emphasis on quality and provenance.

The dining areas include cosy corners with open fires, a bar with local ales and wines, and a relaxed restaurant space suitable for couples, families and small groups. The pub also offers strong Wi-Fi and a professional yet friendly atmosphere, making it suitable for informal meetings or remote working.
