New Inn, Buxton

Blackthorn _ left this review about New Inn

A traditional looking stone built pub in the centre of Buxton’s High Street, it’s clearly been renovated at some point and is now something of a mix of elegant and temporary in style rather than the traditional feel that you might expect from looking at the outside.

Internally it’s all been opened out and is now largely a single, open-plan room, although there is a smaller room at the rear which was perhaps a little cosier. Décor is quite elegant as mentioned with embossed wallpaper on the ceiling, chandeliers and much of the front part being colour drenched (an interior design term according to Mrs B which means walls, celling and even the skirting all painted the same colour) in dark green. Flooring was sanded wooden boards, whilst there was some oak panelling on the walls to the rear. A fitted shelving unit filled one entire wall and housed an array of books, pictures and jugs, whilst a few further pieces of artwork were scattered around elsewhere. All in all it was quite pleasant, but felt a bit more like a hotel drawing room in places rather than your traditional pub.

There was a good choice of beers on tap with Timothy Taylor Landord, Bradfield Farmer’s Blonde, Abbeydale Moonshine and Yorkshire Bitter, Ossett White Rat and Bass.
