    Lovely candlelit dining room with rustic charm and great food. Not pretentious they just doing everything really well for people that like good food and drink. The evening farmers menu was really good. It’s not often you come away from a restaurant these days where you cannot fault a thing. Just about to rebook for Sunday lunch :) Absolutely spot on.

    We've been many times before and the food is going from strength to strength, so we decided to celebrate our anniversary at The Sun when we saw the Valentine's Day set menu. My only quibbles would be that the delicious bread could have been sliced a bit thinner, the butter needed a bit of salt (the menu said sourdough bread, house churned butter and salt, so I presume the salt was supposed to be on the table), and the dessert had too many sweet elements (the poached pear and pannacotta didn't give enough contrast to the gorgeous pecan pie). Service was friendly and just present enough. The candlelight made an appealing atmosphere, but I am glad I didn't have to try to read a menu by it!

    Stunning food - quality far beyond what you would expect for the price. Attentative, first class service. A real jewel of a place.

    Very generous portions and extremely tasty Sunday lunch - our first time and it certainly won’t be our last. Great that a portion of cauliflower cheese comes as standard and not at an additional cost like many other pubs! Thanks to all the team.
