The New Inn is a long-established pub and dining venue located on Tresco, one of the inhabited islands of the Isles of Scilly, positioned just off the coast of Cornwall. Set in the heart of the island’s small community, it sits close to New Grimsby Quay, making it easily accessible for guests staying on Tresco as well as visitors arriving by boat from neighbouring islands.
The New Inn blends traditional island charm with contemporary comfort. Inside, the pub features a relaxed dining room, a cosy bar area and rustic décor that reflects Tresco’s maritime character. Large windows and outdoor terraces make the most of the island’s natural light and sea air, while the atmosphere remains informal and welcoming. The venue also offers accommodation, making it a central hub for guests exploring the island.
The menu focuses on seasonal, locally sourced British cuisine, with a strong emphasis on produce from the Isles of Scilly and the wider Cornish coast. Seafood plays a prominent role, with dishes often featuring fresh fish, crab and shellfish landed nearby. Starters typically include soups, seafood plates and light bites, while mains range from grilled fish and hearty pub classics to more refined seasonal dishes. Vegetarian options are available, and the kitchen caters for dietary requirements where possible.
A traditional Sunday roast is served weekly, and daily specials reflect the availability of local ingredients. Desserts include comforting favourites alongside lighter, seasonal choices. The bar offers a wide selection of local ales, craft beers, wines and spirits, including regional gins and Cornish ciders.
With its coastal location, fresh island produce and relaxed atmosphere, The New Inn serves as a central dining spot on Tresco, offering visitors a taste of modern British cooking in one of the Isles of Scilly’s most picturesque settings.
