New restaurant, bar and hotel openings in April 2022

The New Inn, Tresco, Isles of Scilly

The New Inn hotel and restaurant on the family-owned island of Tresco on the Isles of Scilly has reopened following a major refurbishment.

The development, which began in December last year, has seen all 16 bedrooms redesigned with wooden bedframes, bespoke blinds, new bathrooms and USB chargers.

The Driftwood Bar has been repainted and the Pavilion restaurant now has reclaimed wooden tables, a log burner, and walls decorated with items from Tresco's history.

Outside, a new terrace and Ox Grill has opened where dishes will be cooked over coals in the summer. Head chef Liam Caves has created a menu with pub favourites such as the New Inn Burger, fish and chips and half lobster with local chilli and herb butter. Fish dishes depend on the local catch by islanders Jordan Penhaligon and Hannah Keith, who also work at Tresco's heliport and cottage department respectively.

The new look has been created by interior designer Tania Streeter, who is also leading the upgrade of the 100 holiday cottages on Tresco over the next five years.
