"Visited last weekend and from the get go the service was horrendous, we were staying in a cottage within a 2 minute walk (if that so had the service been better we would of probably frequented the pub quite a lot! Walked in to the...pub for all bar staff to suddenly disappear, when there was finally someone we could talk to we asked if they had a table available for 5 people to be told I don't think so' with an extremely empty restaurant at 6 on a Saturday evening maybe we should have just walked out then and there! The Bar man then came back said yes we do have a table free' marched us through an empty restaurant into an entirely different room on our own. We were then told go back and order drinks at the bar and someone will come and take our food order. Starters were average at best, and one of them was forgotten you could hear the shouting in the kitchen when the waiter went back in and told them! Quite a while after ordering both starters and mains the waiter sheepishly came back and said we cant do 3x double cheeseburgers as we only have 3 burger patties left, so my husband had a double cheeseburger, his teenage brother had a single burger and my father-in-law chose a different option. No one particularly enjoyed their food, the prawn curry that was meant to be a special was awful and has used the cheapest of the cheap frozen prawns, the poppadoms that accompanied the prawn curries were swimming in oil and slipped out of your hands almost! Now onto the drinks! Its a shame as its a nice looking pub, although it did feel like it was a locals pub and we were not welcome."

"When we decided to spend my 44th in the lakes my partner decided to dine here due to previous reviews. The food was actually lovely however the waiter serving it couldn't actually tell us anything about the courses and had to bring a manager over to explain the questions we had. After the food, being a chatty friendly couple that we are, we made friends with two locals in the bar. During the meal we had a couple of drinks than sat in the bar, I had 4 pints of IPA and when ordering my 5th the assistant bar manager Iza D asked me if I was driving, I kind of laughed this off as I wouldn't know why I would be asked this question and as it was we were staying in a lovely Airbnb 5 mins walk up the road called Helvellyn. After some more friendly chit chat in the bar watching the football I then went to the bar again but was refused to be served? It was a Friday night and in no way shape or form being a mature couple did we need to be refused alcohol. The couple we made friends with couldn't see why we were refused and after chatting to the manager on shift on our exit she generally said this also but being an alcohol serving establishment I know when this kind of decision has been judged it's stuck too. The bill came to £183.50, including a bottle of wine. In general before poor judgement from the assistant bar manager Iza the food tasted lovely, but we would definitely not be dining here again due to the bar service."

"Having got married at Gretna Green at 11:30, our extremely casually convened wedding arrangements led us here. We had no plan whatsoever; other than to “elope”, or as far as one can do so these days, with four friends to act as witnesses, and go...to Gretna to get married. Having tied the knot, we found ourselves heading home to Teesside, realising that anywhere we could head to to have a meal together was looking unlikely on account of lunchtime service finishing at 2pm. Plans changed. On the motorway. And we’re so glad they did. Upon arrival, dressed in our wedding finery (I guess that most groups of people don’t arrive at the Sun Inn dressed in bow ties, Tweed Suits, some glamour, a kilt and Laboutain heels — the ideal hiking and outdoor pursuits wear) when asked if we were going somewhere nice, we confessed to having got married an hour previously and just fancied some lovely grub and a table for 6. The staff genuinely threw out the red carpet for us. Utterly unprompted. Even when we advised that we didn’t want any fuss. Within 10 minutes a table for six had been prepared with table dressings and fresh flowers and we were ushered through to the dining room. We were all stumped for choice with a lovely menu to choose from; and were probably being a bit greedy in making our choices but, when in “holiday mode” and with a lovely and diverse range of choices to make, we went for staters and mains. All dietary requirements accommodated for where do you start? A coeliac, two vegetarians (one of which is lactose intolerant), the table from hell! But accommodate us they did. And in style. Only one minor hiccup being which a breadbun that wasn’t gluten free but issue resolved. The food was delicious, our travelling companion and curry aficionado deeply impressed with the prawn curry in particular. Just a lovely, lovely experience topped off by one of the regulars in the main bar sending through some wedding favours as a wee gift for us all. Cannot thank the lovely people at the Sun Inn enough for their kindness and hospitality. Made our day completely and yes, we will be making a return trip on “Star Wars Day” (May the Fourth) next year for our first anniversary. Just lovely. In the nicest and best possible way. Thank you all so so much. You made our day."
