Sadly we made the mistake of attending when the sun was shining. No pun intended. What an awful experience. We booked a table two days before thinking this would help the up and coming nice weather crowds descending. How wrong I was. I had to find a staff member when we arrived to inform them as no one was on meet and greet. We’d booked a table for our celebration dinner. People are still sat at your table we were told when we finally found a staff member. You need to wait. Another 20 minutes until the manager appears to clear the now vacant table only to be told there’s an hour wait for food and they don’t do table service anymore which is poor and we’d need to join the line to order at the bar. This line was out of the door! The manager just pulled a face when I said we were leaving. No apology. Nothing. We went to the harvester instead with our money and a table of five where we were served by staff and made to feel welcome. Please don’t make the same mistake and just go somewhere else, especially if it’s a lovely day.

No Diana we won’t be back which is sad as I’d previously provided a 5 star review when we last attended and it was table service. If I raised my voice I apologise but the lack of service or interest we received wasn’t acceptable. This was a a special day after 8 months of hardship for our family. Pre booked tables should take priority in my opinion or what’s the point in booking. Making us wait at the bar isn’t acceptable both when our table wasn’t ready or to order food and drinks. The restaurant was empty. 10 minutes or 20 I’m not splitting hairs. It’s still not acceptable. We could have easily been sat at another reserved table and things shuffled around but no. Non of my party heard any apology including me and even my father said “she really didn’t care did she.” All the recent low star reviews can’t all be wrong. The harvester was busy but they still managed to seat us straight away and serve us so I’m sorry but the issue is the Sun. It’s changed and not for the best.

Stopped off last Thursday on our way home. Was turned away as apparently fully booked, even though there seemed to be plenty of tables and I could literally go online and book a table for half an hour later. Went to the pub just up the road instead.

Food was ok and service alright, atmosphere is awful, don’t waste your money on the pub quiz either because it’s clear only locals are allowed to win. We left after people complained I was on my phone, which I didn’t deny, it was in Plain sight as I was running my business and reading about Donald trump\Russia - amazed at how competitive people got for a £30 bar tab, which we were going to give away anyway - miserable gits

The food was very good, everyone was served at the same time, at a previous visit we had table service this has now changed but it wasn't very clear that this had changed, Overall a good service provided by very busy staff. An additional member of staff working on the bar would be helpful to avoid the ques, but credit to the manager who was working very efficiently along side her staff.

Glad lunchtime menu back to normal with sandwiches and jackets and were very tasty and value for money. Staff were very friendly, extremely helpful and polite and all worked really hard to help customers and keep pub areas clean and tidy so good aesthetics of pub to relax in.

Attended as a group of six for tea. The pub was very quiet, which we thought was strange for a Saturday night. We ordered two orange j20's and a coke with no ice, received two apple j20's which were extremely warm, and a coke with ice. We then ordered food. The presentation was awful, the food all tasted Chargilled. The sausages were like rubber, and the chicken was hard. My mum ordered hunters chicken with chips and salad, and it only came with salad. They also forgot her onion rings and tomato, which was brought out later on. The food was merely warm...We visit the sun regularly and honestly today has completely put us off. When my mum confronted the waitress about her chips, she was rude and argumentative. It was really poor. I stood at the bar, and the staff continued to talk and ignored i was even there. The staff in general were rude. Really disappointed and won't be recommending the sun anymore.

Recently dined here during a week day. The place felt welcoming and you can even sit outside to dine if you wish.
Staff were friendly and there was a nice relaxed atmosphere.
The food was mediocre. Small portions, luke-warm soup with a stale baguette to dip in it, and for the main course, a tiny piece of chicken breat with frozen chips which had been deep fried too long and a little bit of salad (tiny piece of tomato and cucumber, sliced onion and some wilted lettuce leaves. I chose not to complain as I was dining with a friend who I hadn't seen in a while and on this occasion, did not want to make a scene.
I would return in the summer to have a drink outside in the sunshine, but I would choose to eat elsewhere.

Valentines meal was advertised two courses on facebook for £17.50 but this was somehow lost. Disappointed as I booked in and it was all changed. The Sun website and menus for valentines night not at all clear.
