Yorkshire Dales pub
A great Yorkshire Dales pub is something a bit special in life, accessible to all, a home from home where you can be surrounded by old friends or find yourself making new ones! Visits to the pub can be impromptu or planned; walk in by yourself or in a crowd and at New Inn you will always get a warm welcome. At New Inn you’ll find exceptional beers, lagers wines and spirits and we hope you’ll be tempted a bite to eat from our daily menu, for breakfasts, brunch, lite bites and evening meals.
Whether you’re hardened walkers wanting to stay and ‘do’ this section of the Dales Way or just planning a day visit with an idyllic flat riverside walk before a memorable meal, we offer the hospitality to match. Simply toast your toes at our open fires in cozy nooks on crisp autumn and winter days, then in the spring and summer, revel in the garden with its stunning views of the Dales as you enjoy some alfresco dining.

History
let me tell thee
This traditional Yorkshire Dales pub has been at the heart of the local community since the 16th Century when it was first ‘new’! We are honoured to be the current custodians of its rich tapestry of social history.
Well ahead of its time, the New Inn rose to fame in 1971 as the first non-smoking pub in the world under the colourful ownership of Jack Showers. His controversial decision, following the death of a close friend from lung cancer, captured the interest of the media across the globe.
Later, in the ‘90s, the New Inn became a mecca for cyclists with a mountain bike livery under legendary landlord and endurance rider John Pitchers who described his regulars as the pub’s “crown jewels”.
In 2007, after his tenure Phil and Carol Smith saved the New Inn from the hands of a commercial chain at the 11th hour and stayed until 2019.
MEET THE IVES
Your Local, Run by Local People
After a fallow period in recent years, we were excited to be able to buy the New Inn in late 2024. It was ‘our local’ and we yearned to put it back on the map as a haven for real ale and spirit lovers, as well as a destination for foodies looking for something significantly different.
Alexa Ives is the driving force whose vision for “bringing the pub back to life” you see now. She was familiar with the hospitality business, with eight years working front of house at The Box Tree in her arsenal. Her not-so-silent investment partner and husband, Chris Ives, brings beer and spirits expertise with impressive credentials. He started Ilkley Brewery in 2009 and was a founding partner in Otterbeck Distillery.
