David and Dean Murphy took over the New Inn at Queen Victoria Road, Tupton at the end of August – and quickly set about refurbishing the venue.
These 11 pictures show what to expect from the venue – with a new range of drinks also on offer.

2. New outdoor area
David said: “We have put a beer courtyard out the back of the pub, away from the main road, with some tables and umbrellas out there. It’s a nice secluded area and a bit of a sun trap as well. We’re going to do a bit more with that as the months go on.” Photo: Brian Eyre
3. Live sports on show
David added: “We’re replacing the jukebox with a new model, and we’re replacing one of the four TV screens with a bigger screen. We’ve added a third satellite feed for TNT and Sky Sports, so we can show three matches at a time – potentially four if one of them is on a streaming platform.” Photo: Brian Eyre
4. New drinks on offer
Changes have also been made behind the bar, with David saying that they wanted to add some premium and local drinks to their offering. Photo: Brian eyre
