The New Inn
At the heart of Tresco, The New Inn is our warm and welcoming island pub – a cosy haven where good company, great food, and spellbinding sea views meet, all inspired by the shifting seasons of land and sea.

Settle into the Driftwood Bar, gather in the wreckwood‑lined snug, soak up sunshine on the sheltered terrace, or dine in the light‑filled Pavilion.
From hearty breakfasts and freshly baked cakes to classic pub lunches and wholesome evening suppers, we’re here all day to welcome you in – whether you’ve just stepped off the beach or you're waiting for your boat home at the end of the day. Some evenings bring live music; others, the simple beauty of a sunset over New Grimsby harbour.
Our kitchen team, led by Head Chef Liam Caves, celebrates the best of each season with British classics given a Tresco twist. We work hand‑in‑hand with local growers, fishers, and farmers, with much of our produce grown, reared, or landed right here on the islands.
In summer, the Ox Grill brings a touch of theatre to the terrace, with coals enhancing the flavours of the finest local ingredients – from garden vegetables to Jof’s sail‑and‑oar‑caught lobster.
Our menus shift with the seasons, but some things never change, like our legendary Sunday roast, served every weekend without fail.
