"We have wanted to eat here for quite some time now after it being recommended by so many people but struggled as always fully booked! (Not a bad thing) so we were delighted when we managed to get a cancellation booking. We arrived 15 minutes early to be greeted by a lovely lady behind the bar letting us know our table will be ready shortly and that we could get some drinks and sit in the bar area. Sure enough the table was ready for 8pm. All staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered oysters to start, my husband had the potted shrimp for staters and the pork belly for main, I had the goats cheese salad and the sea bream for main. All beautifully presented and served within good times. It was just simply delicious! My husband didn't have dessert, however I did- and this was probably the most delicious dessert I've had in a very long time- I highly recommend the brown butter ice-cream with affogato! We will definitely be back and will be recommending friends and family. Thank you!"

"great wee country pub. the personal, where so good and polite. about eating, it's really the best I cost. too perfect. also meet the chef who is a top blok. Top quality gins on stock and a fairly packed bar of drinks. this was the first time that I had eaten and drank here and I will be back safely. could not recommend this place enough. I see now why my uncle and his wife eat a lot. ps. the steak is dying. 10/10."

"Dining at The Sun Inn on a Wednesday evening was an overall excellent experience. The pub itself was clean and well decorated. There were plants, and a unique bookcase wallpaper where we were sat which added to the atmosphere, and i loved this. We were served by a lovely lady with amazing service, and we were well looked after. Immediately after sitting down we were greeted by our server, and what we'd like to drink, and given menus. Pint was a 10/10 as usual. STARTER: BAKED CAMEMBERT. The food itself was great. We shared a baked camembert for a starter. The cheese itself was standard in flavour and came in a little black pot (very handy to prevent it spilling everywhere). We were given small toasted ciabatta pieces. They were very crunchy/crispy, but was plenty to share between us. I think soft bread would've been a more filling option, and the ciabatta was something we've never had with camembert before, but complimented it. For a dip, I'm usually not a fan of cranberry sauce, but this combination was incredible. A slight sour twang in a sweet sauce accompanied the cheese well. Overall rated 8/10 for this, just would've been nice to have more dipping bits... like peppers! MAINS: PIE AND BEEF DISH. After waiting about 5/10 minutes (great rest period from starter to main), we got our main dishes. I ordered pie of the day, of which was some sort of leek and ham pie with a rich creamy white sauce. This came with mash or chips, of which i chose the latter. They were very crunchy but soft and fluffy in the middle (perfect type of chip if you ask me). It also came with a mixed veg dish which includes approx. 2 broccoli, 2 cauliflower, a few sliced carrots, and about 5 Brussel sprouts. It was all cooked to perfection. I don't think it was needed with the pie though as the portion size was great. However, it made a nice sharing side. My only fault when this came out is the lack of gravy. It was a standard sort of gravy (bit like a bisto best), but i still wanted more to really soak everything in it. The pastry was chewy (my favourite kind), and was slightly flaky on the top, without being crumbly. I think this is the ideal pastry for a pie. I can't say it was my favourite pie ever, but was definitely a great contender against a pukka pie. Overall 9/10 on the chips, and a 6/10 all together. I would definitely recommend, despite being a lower rating. My friend had a beef dish (was a bit like a slow cooked piece), and was covered in a rich gravy sauce. The meat fell apart in your mouth, and was full of flavour. I believe it came with parsnips and carrots. Overall 7/10 for this dish. I would recommend. To conclude my review, I think the Sun Inn in Cottesmore was a good experience. I'd definitely recommend people eating here, if not for the food, but for the service. I'd give it all a 8 rating out of 10. I'm writing this as someone who is starting out reviewing food for fun, hoping it helps!"

"what a jewellery piece. with 7 months old puppies to stay in caravans and wanted to test with puppies eating. she was very welcome and we had sunday in the restaurant. nice, tasty eating. fantastic friendly staff and dogs everywhere. nothing too annoyed. we are looking forward to another meal on Tuesday, if hopefully pup is popped up as well. She makes us much more confident when she was on the road all year round when she got used to a really dog-friendly place. dogs more than welcome!"
