About The New Inn
The New Inn, in the picturesque village of Shipton Gorge, is a community-managed pub. It is now run by our landlady, Andrea, and she and her team offer all customers a very warm welcome.
When the pub faced closure by the brewery in 2005, Shipton Gorge’s residents reached an agreement with Palmers to take on the lease of the pub.
The New Inn successfully re-opened in 2006 when the village locals came together to support their much-loved pub and keep it open as the hub of the village and their community.

Rooms
Book a stay
Our two comfortable rooms, both with ensuite facilities are situated on our first floor. Unfortunately, there is no lift access although we will be happy to help you with your luggage.
Both rooms are decorated to the same high standard with complimentary tea and coffee-making facilities, which, together with king-size beds and digital flatscreen TVs, make for a comfortable and relaxing stay at the New Inn.
A choice of a delicious home-cooked breakfast made from fresh and locally sourced ingredients or cereals and toast await you in the morning.

At the New Inn we pride ourselves on our high quality, locally sourced ingredients, supporting Dorset farmers, fisheries and suppliers.
Our chef uses great local seafood, meat and vegetables when available, to create high quality fresh dishes.
Here at The New Inn, together with our reputation for food, we are equally well-known for our great-tasting beer, well-kept cask ales and overall meticulous attention to detail to ensure our beverages always taste as good as they possibly can. We serve a range of award-winning Palmers Real Cask Ales fit for any season, and flavoursome lagers all year round.
We also offer a varied selection of premium-brand and local spirits, a carefully chosen list of white, red and rose wines, fruit juices, carbonated drinks and non-alcoholic bottled beer and cider.
