Went to the beer festival yesterday, wide selection of drinks, really good beer, decent live band and lovely staff. Downside was all the ciders I tried were extremely sweet and tepid and the BBQ food was AWFUL. £12 for a thin burnt pizza with very little pepperoni and £8 for a very average burger with one slice of kraft cheese and no other toppings or salad. The chips were good but again expensive, and no salt and vinegar were available or other condiments. Strongly recommend sticking to drinks and eating elsewhere until they resume serving the normal food menu.

This is my regular and usually the food is ok but today It was awful, 18/07/2024. We ordered 3 meals . Burger, fish and chips and small lasagne. All overcooked. Lasagne size of a postage stamp. The fish and chips were bad, fish dried up , batter like rock. Burger the bacon was burnt. I did mention when plates were being cleared but the young man just laughed and took them away. Won't be having food there again. Sad.

Spending the night in Stafford, never been to the town before but the staff at the Travelodge recommended this place. Grabbed a table and a titanic brewery bitter. Exactly what I wanted after travelling after work. Good atmosphere, great staff, decent beer.

Always a good pint of ale. However the food is poor value for money. Paid £14.95 for steak and ale pie with 25 garden peas in a pot meant for serving condiments and two tables spoons of mash. The plate was half empty and I left hungry. Steak pie was also very salty. No one came to ask if we were happy with the food almost felt like staff were embarrassed to ask cause they know it’s poor.

Very handy for Stafford station which means that friends living on the West Coast mainline can easily meet up without having to drive. An outstanding selection of well kept quality real ales at low prices, especially given the location. A reasonable menu providing value for money pub meals. Friendly and engaging staff. Plenty of tables, a number big enough for larger groups like ours.

Not been for a while. Food was OK but quiet expensive compared to other places. There is definitely a decline in the place. Mould & cobwebs evident in the little snug. Staff seemed to just enjoy chatting away with each other. Unsure if I'll go back

Visited here on a Tuesday afternoon for a late lunch as solo female traveller. Warm welcome, ordered drink, found table & perused menu. I chose bacon cheeseburger which was lovely. Homemade burger & lots of chips. Place was reasonably busy at 3 pm on a Tuesday. I sat downstairs near fireplace. Unfortunately fire wasn’t lit & I was cold. I do think that prices are a little steep for a pub however nice food is.

Lovely ale and atmosphere. Howeve, the cottage pie for £15 is poor value for money …. 20 peas, frozen chips, watery gravy. Sorry but I suggest you try the cottage pie at the dog & partridge at calf heath for £9.75 as a benchmark before charging these prices.

Had a local business meeting at this venue. Greeted by a warm welcome wasn’t too busy so worked well for my needs. Good food offering although have to say I didn’t try anything. Very good selection of cask ales and equal offering of lagers, ciders and their own offering of a stout liking of Guinness. Will frequent again.

Arrived mid-afternoon on a Sunday….looking for food and a drink after a long drive - and spotted the Sun Inn just around the corner from where we were staying. A great little gem - unfortunately the menu was limited given the time of day, but the food was as excellent. And the beer and cider we had was very welcome and refreshing. The atmosphere was relaxed and actually relatively quiet. Everything was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Visited here first time for food for ages. Late lunch with friend. Gone back to pub food which is great, just wish there was another potato choice other than chips with meals. I had Black & Blue burger which was delicious, nice homemade burger. Friend ordered Hunters chicken which he really enjoyed too. Quiet when we went in at 1 pm on a Friday but people started coming in later. Staff friendly & helpful. Had bad experience few years ago hence why not been for food for a while but will be back now after recent visit.

As a regular visitor at the Sun, recent improvements have been welcomed by many - New menu is great. Staff have a smile on face and help create a comfortable atmosphere to socialise in. Can’t fault the food, beer or service. Busy at times but that is understandable. 10/10. Chapeau to management and staff!

Really disappointed with our visit to the Sun. We have regularly visited The Sun but it is certainly not the pub it used to be pre covid. Myself and 2 friends ordered a bottle of white wine (which was expensive compared to other pubs!). We were given 1 wine glass (which wasn't very clean) and 2 lager glasses as apparently there were no more wine glasses available! We found a table but it was wet and sticky from previous spilt drinks and obviously had been cleaned for a while. After 10 mins we went to ask if any wine glasses were available (sounds silly, but drinking wine from a half pint lager glass just doesn't seem right) . We thought they may have been being washed when we initially ordered the wine. We were offered 2 'champagne' flutes instead and told that they were the only glasses they had (again, they were not very clean, with lipstick marks around the rim). The Sun is a town centre pub ( we realise they specialise in ales etc) but what pub has no wine glasses available!? (We looked around and there didn't seem many people drinking wine so maybe they need to invest in some more glasses). Needless to say, we drank up and left and found somewhere with cheaper wine and actual clean wine glasses! We won't be returning unfortunately.

I have had the pleasure of meeting a few friends in this establishment recently and have been treated well on these occasions, unfortunately this time I was treated terribly by the management.I had just entered this pub to meet up with some ex work colleagues, I was greeted by a nice friendly polite bartender and was served a pint of Cider, I had been served with a pint of cider, I was aggressively approached by the manager who proceeded to tell me loudly in front of a large crowd of fellow customers that I was barred for some reason relating to a beer Festival held in this pub, which I did not attend due to having a broken Neck which required extensive cervical spinal surgery which has left me partially paralysed, mainly down my left side. I had my dog with me, who is a registered therapy dog. The landlord would not explain to me the reason or situation that has resulted in myself and my therapy dog to be barred. I was rudely and Aggressively told that the landlord recognised my dog and that I was barred previously for something that happened during this beer Festival, as the biannual beer festivals are held in may and August I was shocked to have this quoted to me as the reason for myself being barred, as I was in no physical position to attend these beer festivals due to recovering from said serious spinal surgery. The barmaid was loudly instructed to take my pint away and to return my money, which was taken by the manager and tossed back in my face, which with difficulty I had to retrieve from the floor in front of me. I am absolutely disgusted with the way I have been treated by the manager of this establishment, I am a 6”2’ tall 18 stone, alternative looking man with 17 piercings in my face with a unique thick black beard, and wouldn’t describe myself as easily mistaken for someone else, hence my surprise at being treated so undignified by the manager, whilst politely asking to have an explanation as to this treatment when during the past month have had two enjoyable evenings in this establishment. I am clearly disabled I limp badly and have great difficulty using my left hand side, I wonder if I would of been treated to such an undignified display in front of a busy pub had I chosen to attend in my wheelchair which I frequently need to use due to said spinal damage? I am totally Disgusted with this treatment of a clearly disabled person when I have no comprehension as to why I was treated this way, I fully intend to take this higher and am shocked as to the reason for this treatment and hope that I am the only person who has been subjected to this kind of attitude towards someone clearly disabled. I shall not be returning to this establishment again and Strongly recommend anyone who has a visible physical disability not to attend this establishment either.

The lady who served me with a tweety pie tattoo on her arm was extremely rude. No smile no hello just a "yeah" I had a few interactions with this lady and if I was the manager I would sack immediately. however, the waiters were very polite and helpful. The food was hot and very nice. It's a shame the bar staff were rude & unhelpful. Would i go back....after the "customer service" I received at the bar probably not. If you don't like dealing with the public then I would advise you go work in a warehouse.

Absolute Chaos. Booked ahead but table taken by others.Staff running around like headless chickens. Other parties coming in some 30 minutes after us getting their food. 3 plates of food delivered to our table not ordered by us. Note we were a party of 2. People walking out due to wait.Spoke to member of Staff as to where our order was after nearly an hours wait. Then witnessed food being delivered to a Table again who had arrived after us. Just about to walk out when finally food turned up some 80 minutes after we had arrived. Food was not bad but not exceptional. Staff trying their best but obviously under pressure due to not enough of them.Which Nicompoop had decided Tables do not need Numbers in an establishment where you just walk in is a Looney Tune. We will definitely not be returning to this Shambles of a Venue.

I have some issues about Saturday 26th March 2022 I am quite annoyed with your very dismissive chef. I ordered warm chickpea salad. There were zero chickpeas, not much feta and a mush of lettuce to be quite frank. I explained this to the waiter -he came back and told me that the chef said that there are chickpeas in it. No, there were not. I then told the bar person who offered to fetch me chickpeas to add on top... OK - a bit strange to not offer to take the plate away, but that's OK. They came back without chickpeas thus proving that they had none. Sadly one of my friends ordered chicken caeser salad that came without the chicken - it happens. It came back 30 minutes later - nice chicken and lettuce but no bacon lardons or anchovies etc as per the menu... again no apology or acknowledgment from the chef. My other friend had the crispy beef salad with only few pieces of beef. I asked if the chef didn't mind coming out to look at our food and chickpealess salad but they didn't show up. We weren't even mad but the chef could have acknowledged and/or apologised and/or offered an alternative. Such a shame. We appreciate that this is more an ale pub etc but why not just take the salads off the menu, may be? Thank you, though, to your Sam C who did try to help us and offered us a full refund. Post pandemic many of us ate just meeting up with friends and family for food and a natter. A few other diners around us could not believe the poor standard of food either. We know our chickpeas but sadly the chef did not. You may think that I am being a moaner but since Saturday, I have e-maiked, messenger messaged, called and tweeted to no avail - just wanted a sorry or to be acknowledged that is all. To be heard! Poor show The Sun.

Ale is vile, staff are grumpy and rude. Avoid at all cost. I will never visit this pub again and will advise family and friends to avoid. My pint (if you can call it a pint) was pulled and was more like three quarters full. I asked for a top up and was refused and told to go elsewhere if I wasn't happy.

Called in for a pre-event meal and drink. 'Welcomed' by a member of staff identifiable on the till as Casper. No smile. No eye contact. No welcome. No charm whatsoever. Took our order - again, no "please" or "thankyou". Took our money. Ditto. If we weren't pushed for time, would've definitely gone elsewhere. The food was good (hence the two stars), but do not expect anything approaching a warm welcome - at least, from this individual.

The Sun Inn is a nice busy city centre pub. The staff are friendly. The food however leaves a lot to be desired. Definitely freezer to fryer with a stop off at the microwave. I had fish and chips. Goodness knows when the fish actually saw the fryer but it certainly wasnt cooked fresh. The batter wasnt at all crisp, some of the chips were cooked some were not and the tartar sauce on the plate was hot. The dirty plates were left on our table for about 40 minutes and then only half of them were cleared away. Probably best only visiting for a drink if you are in the area.

Visited after the 10km Stafford road race and it was packed! Seemed like every other participant had decided to go there too but they handled everything very well. Had to wait a while to get a table for lunch but what can you expect on such an occasion. Efficient bar staff and the meal we had, when it did come (once again a wait was to be expected) was very, very good. Great burger and the roast dinners hit the spot. There's also an outside space that's been very tastefully done, pity the view's of the multi-story car park.

I go to the Sun regularly as they have a good range of meals and a lovely atmosphere. I particularly enjoy their events such as the folk night I attended yesterday evening and pub quiz the evening before. It's always bustling with life but the staff are still attentive and friendly. Their food offers are great value and certain days you can get buy one get one free. They have a great range of vegetarian food to offer as well making it perfect for all groups of people. Yesterday I had their weekly special bar snack the Philly cheesesteak fries and their soup of the day (French onion) both were delicious and I shall definitely be continuing my custom there!

Went here for Sunday lunch with my wife. The food, when it eventually arrived, was delicious. 4 stars not 5 because we had to wait over half an hour for our meals, which shouldn't have happened as we were one of the first in there to order. This was our second visit for food, but the first time we didn't stop as they told us a 45min wait for food. Come on, sort it out! Customers shouldn't have to wait that long.

The wait time for food was fine we did not feel rushed nor did we have to wait for long. The setting is very nice and comfortable. The staff were pleasant and cheerful.

My daughter is unable to eat certain things but the menu had plenty of things that she could eat, we where also able to request that certain sauces where left off her meal which they did no bother at all. meaning we could both sit back and relax an enjoy a rare meal out together. The place was lovely and clean and the food was piping hot and really tasty. We will most defiantly be returning in the future. Lovely friendly staff as well.

Been coming here for food since last year about twice a week. Last couple of visits food gone downhill. Steaks poor quality, but gone up in price with a supplement for rib eye of £3 that was grisly and fatty. Bbq chips are just normal chips with seasoning sprinkled over. Another night had burger night... bread rolls cheap soggy replacements to what they used to serve and veggie burger smothered in not nice spicy salsa very hot and vinegar taste. The veggie burger was thick and dry and tasteless totally disappointed the last few visits. The menu now lacks variety and taste. Previous menu better by miles food was better presented, tasty and enjoyable. Sadly not going for food again too disappointing. Feels like who is cooking is not passionate about good food and good flavour even if it is pub food. Shame feels like this place needs some tlc. Ladies toilets run down, toilet seats need replacing for ones that fit the toilet.

Wasn’t all that busy at 8pm on a Saturday night. Nice decor and music not too loud. Nice place to meet up with friends before moving on. Got served straight away. Toilets clean.

I frequent the Sun regularly but never usually ear there. Went for a meal there but was very disapointed. The first thing was that I had to ask for the table to be cleaned as it was very stained and dirty. I ordered the rump steak and my partner had the Sun burger.

Good range of ales well kept ,friendly and professional staff .Traditional pub food served in a traditional town pub setting which can be a little cramped if your companions are generously built Reliable and unexciting as are we the clientele

The Sun is one of the finest pubs around.

We enjoyed a very nice late lunch in the Sun Inn. The pub is very nice and is comfortable and a pleasant place to eat and have a drink. We had left a nearby establishment with supposedly waiting on staff that failed to materialise and...

Have been going to the Sun for years and have always enjoyed the beer and the pub in general. Tonight they upped their game with an exceptional meal. Both my partner and me had the steak off the deal menu. It was cooked perfectly. What...

I'm normally quite lazy about writing reviews but feel I must say something tonight. As soon as the staff got wind of the fact that I have food intolerances they couldn't do enough for me, bending over backwards to offer me alternatives at no extra cost & making sure I was completely happy with everything. Clued up too - they knew all the right questions to ask!

I had several people recommend the Sun, so I visited once cold night, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a typical pub with a restaurant area, nothing to write home about but a great beer menu (I recommend the Twit Twoo porter - delicious!) and fancied something different for dinner. So I tried the Jambalaya - chicken and prawns in rice with cajun spices. Can honestly say one of the best meals I have ever had! It was quite spicy but not overbearing, and once it had cooled a little could not stop till I'd finished. Everything was prepared and cooked perfectly, and very quickly delivered to the table.

This place has had its ups and downs, right now it's having an up! Great beer on offer friendly staff and plenty of seating and a bit of parking. There is also a new outdoor decking area at the back which looks really smart. Great place to meet for a few drinks with your pals!

Earlier this year we visited previously on two occasions and had lovely meals so went last evening as a family on return from our holiday to catch up. I had to return my drink before tasting and requested a new drink as lipstick on the glass given to me. My daughter went to the bar to ask what was the seasonal vegetables and informed unsure no attempt to check this out giving a list of potential vegetables! This influenced the choice of meal selected! I chose the duck with mustard mash only when it came out there was no mash roasted potatoes I said it should have been mash as described on the specials board and shortly afterwards the mash came out! We sat chatting and twice the waitress came to take the empty glasses picking mine up that still had gin and tonic you accept once but not twice! She did apologise but for me I think if I had done it once to someone would be more aware! So a disappointing meal which with drinks would be £100. Not returning any time soon, we tend to go there for the ale!

Came here purely because we were in stafford and someone we know said the food was ok.We ordered a platter to start and two fish fingers sandwiches as thought you could not go wrong with those choices.Well the platter was double maybe even triple fried and was so greasy that we ate hardly any of it. I mean, deep fried garlic bread, never in my life have I had that. Chicken wings that were stuck together like toffee and could hardly be torn apart due to being fried within an inch of their lives and onion rings that we didn't even attempt to try due to the above. The "waitress" then came and cleared our plates and within 2 mins our fish finger sandwiches came out. I took one bite out of mine as did my wife and left the whole of our meal. They tasted exactly like the chicken strips that we left on our starter platter and were burnt to a crisp.I genuinely wanted to say something but at no point did anyone ask if everything was ok, presumably because they saw that we left our whole meal and didn't want to bother. Paid the bill and left.I seriously would not feed that food to my dog, completely inedible. Never again.

Had a burger, and the burger sauce was a little shy, but our server Josh was great! Very friendly and attentive but not in a weird way. I think the decor needs a little overhaul as it’s looking slightly tired, but generally a good mid-week meal out.
