The New Inn

At the heart of Tresco lies The New Inn - our welcoming island local, brimming with character and adorned with nautical relics. Open year-round, it’s a cosy hub for locals and visitors alike.

Settle in at the Driftwood Bar, gather with friends in the wreckwood-lined snug, bask in the sunshine and sea views from the sheltered terrace, or enjoy a more intimate dining experience in the light-filled Pavilion.

We're open throughout the day, serving everything from hearty breakfasts and freshly baked cakes with morning coffee, to classic pub lunches and wholesome evening dinners - perfect after a day exploring the island. Entertainment varies by the day, whether it’s the sounds of live music or the simple beauty of a sunset over New Grimsby harbour.

Our talented kitchen team, led by Head Chef Liam Caves, champions seasonal British classics with a Tresco twist. We work closely with local growers, fishers, and farmers, using as much island-grown, reared, and landed produce as possible.

In the summer, the Ox Grill on the terrace brings a little theatre and a lot of flavour - cooking over coals to enhance the natural flavours and aromas of the finest local ingredients, including Jof's sail-and-oar caught island lobster.

Our menus shift with the seasons, but you’ll always find comforting favourites - like our legendary Sunday roast, served every weekend without fail.

Breakfast may be available for non-residents; please call 01720 423006 to inquire about booking.

We take bookings for dinner only; no reservations are needed for lunch.

You can book a dinner table online until 4:30 p.m. on the day. After that, please give us a call on 01720 423006 or pop in.

We usually have plenty of availability, as we only reserve our indoor tables, so always pop in and speak with the team.
