The Sun in Sutton

Popped in for a pint on our weekly ramble/dog walk/pop into Carshalton. Cask Cider really scrumptious 😋

lovely cosy pub/restaurant great service and good food

Been several times and always have a good experience when dining here. Booked a table for a family birthday lunch. Excellent food, catered for our food allergies and intoleranceses. Fast service.

Great Food, Great Atmosphere and all the team friendly. Our favourite pub for Sunday Roast!

Good local gastro pub. Good food and beer

We've visited many times - each has been fantastic. The best pub in Carshalton.

A nice pub for Sunday lunch. Came here for lunch, had scotch egg and whitebait for starters, both tasted amazing. The actual Sunday roast was a disappointment (we had better at the sun before), potatoes tasted poached, meat too, and tasted bland. But this may be a one off. In general, good pub I’d recommend a visit after a nice stroll through Morden Hall.

I love this pub, The food is always amazing and the cocktails are perfectly made. Good beer and wine selection. Best pub in Carshalton for sure. Sunday roast is on point .

Very impressive Sunday lunch. Had the triple choice which consisted of lamb, beef and pork plus usual roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables and a huge Yorkshire pudding. Dessert I had chocolate brownie but a special request as did not want banana sauce or popcorn ice cream so they were happy to swap these out for boring (so what) vanilla ice cream instead. Can honestly say that it was the best brownie I have ever eaten. Staff members were very pleasant and attentive.

The food was reasonably priced and very good portion size (especially the quiz burger deal on the Tuesday!). The staff were friendly. The pub is reasonably sized inside, but not ideal for pushchairs etc, but it does have an outside(which I presume would be ideal in summer although I didn't see it). They welcome dogs and have water/treats available for them. They also have a selection of games to play. The prices are reasonable. The quiz night (Tuesday), was fun. And they do other things throughout the week. I didn't see any TV's though... But i'd definitely recommend popping in!

I booked The Sun Gin Library for my 50th birthday celebration in early March. From planning to execution The Sun was faultless. Attention to details, while still keeping a relaxed approach was welcome. The advice & suggestions put forward along the way , when undecided on any points during the planning were spot on! On the night, to avoid congestion at the bar area, The Sun provided different drink stations spread out within the function area (such as wine trees, a separate ‘station’ with a barrel of ale & iced buckets for the different beers). Great idea! The various seating areas provided also suited my guests- such as the younger guests making a space for themselves, congregating on the balcony area & using the blankets provided. There was also different seating areas inside & plenty of floor space to move around, or dance if you wanted. The birthday cake - was fittingly showcased on its own table. I had created a Spotify playlist for the night which they kindly played through their music system. The food was outstanding & have since had several comments from my guests about how great it was. The team of staff for the function were brilliant - special thank you to Ed, Mia & Nathan. Thanks Jo & the team. For helping to make my 50th party a night to remember. Will be back for another superb Sunday lunch in the near future.

We have been to the Sun on a number of occasions and have enjoyed the experience and food. However, I booked a table for Friday evening on 1st March. We were taken to the upper floor and were shown to a table next to the small bar. The table was away from other diners and would have required that one of us would have been facing a wall. I commented that I was not happy with the table and was told that no other tables were available. It was too late for us to go elsewhere to eat so we accepted the table. We then had to wait for over 25 minutes for the server to take our drinks order. I was generally not very happy with this dining experience and am reluctant to eat here again.

Was here again for a 50th party upstairs in the gin library and everything was perfect. The evening party food of sliders cos bites chicken goujons and picky bits was fantastic. Atmosphere was great and the birthday bit couldn't have been happier. Jo's team are great and just love coming here when we have a special occasion. I've booked the restaurant for a special 30th birthday on Friday and am really looking forward to it. X

We had a huge 80th birthday party meal for my mum up in the private function room !! The room looked spectacular on arrival, the food was absolutely amazing & the service was outstanding. We could not have asked for a better night & the main thing was that my mum had the best time ever. Thanks to all the staff & the chef, would highly recommend The Sun if you wanted to have a special night with brilliant memories

Excellent service and very friendly staff. Food of good quality if a little expensive. We had a party of 8 and we all received our meal at the same time. Variety of beer and wines available. What could you complain about! We went lunchtime mid week, so a little quiet.

Great food. Great staff. Lovely atmosphere

We recently celebrated my husbands 80th birthday party in the Gin Library, upstairs at The Sun with 80 guests attending. Jo and her staff were amazing hosts and nothing was a trouble to them. The buffet food was outstanding with such a fabulous.variety of dishes. Our guests had a wonderful time and were all so impressed with the venue. We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend it to others.

A very pubby pub. Not a boozer but still convivial. Food leaning into gastro with the kitchen obviously taking pride in their offerings. When full of an evening it feels hearty. The owner clearly likes being there. The staff are chatty. I tried to take some stars off so my review feels less fanish but I couldn't in all heart think of any area that deserved it. It is a really good little pub, tucked away from the main drag along the ponds and sadly easily overlooked; lord knows I missed it for years and now regret that fact.

I celebrated my 60th birthday here in the gin library at The Sun and we had a fabulous time. You can't fault the food, the service, or the atmosphere. Thank you to Jo the manager for all her support planning the event, and Bonnie for running it all so smoothly. So very grateful, and everyone had a good time. A friend is already booking her 60th there following mine!

A gem of a pub - great food lovely atmosphere go visit real London vibes in this lovely pub 🌟⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars from me - highly recommended!

Pudding at the end of Burns’ Night Supper. Feel full to bursting. I was worried that Callum might lose a finger whilst addressing the Haggis. Thankfully no ambulance required!

Really warm, friendly place. Good range of drinks, reasonable priced, for alcohol and non alcohol alike. Staff were knowledgeable and attentive, really good service. I was here for a friend's birthday party so we were in the top floor room. The decor was great, a bit of fun without it being overbearing. The food was absolutely delicious and generous portions. I'm usually a bit sceptical about roasts but the chicken one was really good: massive Yorkshire and swimming in gravy (in a good way). I don't usually like potatoes but these ones were fluffy with right about of crisp on the outside. Really struggle to fault it.

I came to the sun for dinner after work. Really quick service and friendly staff. I ordered the burger and the sticky toffee which was tasty. Cocktails a bit too strong to enjoy, especially for the price.

A fantastic day organized by lovely staff an owner, my husband and I had our wedding reception here back in October 2023 and wanted to say a few words about how great our experience was. Jo and the team were responsive, helpful and served us some seriously good food, accommodated some small last minute guest changes and decorated the venue to perfection. This is a brilliant place for an intimate wedding and surpassed our expectations. We had many people comment on how great the food and venue was. Thank you to Jo and the team!

We had a group booking for lunch in Jan 2023. it was so freezing cold that we all had to wear our coats and the senior member of staff lied that the heating was on but the radiators were cold. I hope the heating will be fully on this winter! It was not pleasant visit sadly.

Just try their burger it would solve all your problems I promise!

Great local pub with good food and a good selection of drinks

I was trusted with choosing a venue for my brother’s wedding over from the USA, and this didn’t disappoint. Jo and her team were an amazing help, and ensured that the venue looked beautiful with some lovely finishing touches. It really created a romantic and intimate occasion. The food was delicious and service impeccable from Daisy and the rest of the team! Excellent cocktails topped off a faultless day. I couldn’t recommend this venue more if you are looking for somewhere to hold a wedding or family occasion. Thanks again Jo and everyone at the Sun.

Such a lovely place. The staff are amazing especially as we are a very big group of both adults and kiddies. They made it so easy and the food was amazing.

Lovely local and will be back. Nut roast was good, but the gravy could have a bit more flavour and be a bit thicker. Cheese tart was very small for the price - a slice of tart would be more accurate. Hopefully I can give it 5 stars next time.

A great meal. I hadn't been so pleased the last time I was her and was sent a voucher. Lovely staff. Excellent service. A lovely lovely meal

They know what they're doing. Always a lovely night with a great vibe.

Gorgeous place, great food and fabulous staff. Very cosy vibe. Thank you for making single travelling business women so welcome

A brilliant pub. Such a great vibe, it is a fantastic mix of modern and traditional pubs. The food was brilliant, absolutely first class, the sticky toffee pudding was elite level. Staff were warm and friendly without being overbearing. Mid week full house with a great buzz. Definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely early Christmas lunch today at The Sun. Beautifully festive with excellent three course lunch and great service. Big portions so go hungry! Highly recommend!

Service was phenomenal but the roast was rather disappointing. We had a reservation for when they first opened at noon so you’d think that the food would be fresh. The chicken roast and veg tasted like it’d been sitting out for a good while. We struggled to get the knife through the chicken even. There’s definitely room for improvement.

One of the best pubs in Carshalton. Superb food and a great range of beers and spirits. Lovely atmosphere any night of the week, with brilliant live music in the Gin Library on Fridays.

Decent fish and chips with nice tartare sauce. Quick service and lively atmosphere

Really friendly staff... food is really tasty and the decor for Halloween was tidy

We have eaten here before and the food was excellent although a tad pricey. On this occasion went for a late Sunday roast lunch which was ok but not brilliant. Luke warm veg and tough stringy lamb. VERY small portions of the trio of meats. I would recommend the Greyhound and particularly the Duke's head for a far better Sunday roast. That said the pub is friendly and the staff excellent. Poor choice of ale in the higher abv range. Will go again but not for Sunday roast.

Great place Great food Great attentive staff Knew to park in car park 5 mins away as limited parking…cost only 50 pence Would request table on the side though only 2 of us as constant traffic from staff and customers passing both sides of the table as table down the middle..still we will definitely be back

Great atmosphere for a chilled night out.

Lovely friendly staff X small fish and chips very nicely presented and very tasty X would recommend. Reasonably priced food and wine

A warm welcome and made to feel like part of the family when you walk into this pub. Friendly table service without a long wait. Food served piping hot and really tasty. Been here a few times now and have a few guest beers / cider on tap. Recommend the Sea cider and the sticky toffee pudding......

Big party post wedding for Sunday lunch....happy staff great roasts happy diners.Well done!!!

Good local pub. Food is pricy but good. Decent selection of beers. Update - been a few times post COVID now and I have to say while the food is ok it's nowhere near as good as it was - which is important given the prices are still high. £17 to £19 for a Sunday roast.

Amazing experience hiring The Gin Library at The Sun recently for a special birthday. Jo was so helpful and attentive in the planning process, and the evening went without a hitch - so many compliments on what an amazing space it was and the fantastic food. Thank you for helping make my day so special.

Hadn’t been here for a while but the standards hadn’t dropped, in fact, they had been raised higher! The food and drink was impeccable, but what made the visit so special was the service we received! Isabel and Ava were both brilliant at their jobs, and made the whole experience a joy. A lot of pubs and restaurants seem to neglect good customer service these days, but this establishment, and these two girls in particular, could teach the industry a thing or two, it really makes all the difference! If you haven’t been here before, I highly recommend it.

Great pub, tasty food, good selection of beer and a nice garden for the summer.

Really lovely place, so nicely done from friendly and efficient staff (seems like they love their jobs which is nice), tasty food, very impressive Wine list and stylish decor.

Utterly smitten with this place. Struggled with the QR code to sort dinner, lovely lovely staff helped with zero fuss... and dinner was delicious. Returned next day a bit hungover and nice lady did a bit of a welfare check on me as I looked so peaky. The Sun staff and chefs, we love you! From the two on table 64 Sat night & Sun arvo who just seemed to have one issue after another. What a sweet, kind & patient lot you are. AND food was sublime xx

There for the very popular Tuesday quz night. Had some lovely food too from their fantastic menu.

A perfect experience from service to food. Management were very accommodating with our requests and adapted their rules to suit our party. The Sun is a little Jem with a large secret outdoor space.

I really liked the food. Nice place and cleaned. Smiling staff. My friend took me there. We met after 12 years The Sun it's been the right place where eating drinking and talking 🌞🌞

One of the nicest venues in Carshalton.

On a glorious, cloudless Summer's day, my sister and I could not have found a nicer place on the entire planet to have our lunch. The Sun has a very prominent position in Carshalton, and it is named after our life-giving star for a reason... Everything about our visit was BRILLIANT!! You first see the attractive pub exterior, and then on entering you are warmly greeted by very friendly staff. There was a lovely aroma in the air coming from the kitchen, and so it was impossible not to order lunch there. Excellent food (and very reasonably priced), an impressive drinks list, and a chic French theme in the attractive decor, this pub is very special, like the Sun itself. Not to be missed!

We held our staff party at the Sun yesterday, and it was just a lovely experience. The staff couldn't do enough to help us with the planning, and on the day we were so well looked after, especially by Beth. We hired the Gin Library, a beautiful, bright room with a private bar and roof terrace that's upstairs - it was a perfect space for our group of just over 30 people to have a great party and celebration of our last year. The food was INCREDIBLE - we were offered an extensive party menu, and everything looked and tasted delicious. They clearly take a lot of pride in their food and it pays off. I feel so lucky that we have such a great pub and event venue on our doorstep - but even if it wanst, Id travel to go there again!

It’s a nice pub with nice food and a good selection of drinks not available in all the other pubs. The food is good and the atmosphere is nice however we had a roast on Sunday and I don’t think it was very good especially for the cost these days. Which is the only reason I’d give it 4*

Stunning pub! Amazing service from all staff, cute decor, lovely drink selection and great food! Couldn't ask for more!

Great staff lovely atmosphere enjoyed evening.

Good local, we do really enjoy it there. Roasts are good if a bit pricey but the setting and staff are great

This was our 4th visit to The Sun. We have been for 3 lunches but as a Birthday treat for my wife we booked for a Friday evening. I always think the popularity of a place is a strong indicator as to how good it is and every time we have visited it is great to see it so busy. The food, as usual was faultless. I had the Haddock and Chips for my main meal. I wasn't disappointed! Great menu. We chose a lovely bottle of South African Chardonnay. The service was friendly and attentive. The Team at The Sun should be proud to be able to tempt customers to return. We will definitely return. Thank You

The first time I've eaten here, great food, I will be back.

Upstairs private floor with own bar and outside smoking area

My favourite place in Carshalton, I haven’t been since pre lockdown. And really fancied something nice but not travel far see I remembered the sun, from entrance of a smiley host, helping us find a table as we hadn’t booked, food was insanely amazing. Decor and staff all perfect. Can’t wait to come back!!

While the food was tasty, the portions won't fill you up if you're really hungry. The food was well presented but the small veg portions looked like they were just there as a garnish, to add colour to the plate.

Magnificent meals and superb service! We booked for a family meal to celebrate my mum’s 70th birthday. We were blown away by the hospitality, quality of the delicious food and the great service especially as we were a large booking ranging from 1 years old, younger children, teenagers and adults. The extra birthday touches and decorations provided were a wonderful surprise. This level of customer care makes The Sun stand out as a venue for special occasions too! We stepped into the Sun and left beaming from ear to ear! Thank you for helping make wonderful memories for our family. Such a special day.

We had my mums 70th birthday here in the upstairs room. It was a perfect space for a mixed group with teens and tiny ones. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. I would highly recommend!

Came here for lunch on Saturday, having been here before for a drink. The menu looked great so I booked a table for two. Was completely blown away by the food! The haggis scotch egg starter was perfect, as were our mains of lamb shoulder and butternut squash pappardelle. Rounded it off with a sticky toffee pudding to share. Absolutely incredible, we literally finished everything on our plates! But even better still was the service we received from everyone who served us, particularly the new girl, Bonnie, who was exceptional from start to finish! Given that it was getting extremely busy in there, she was very calm and polite and attentive, and always had a smile on her face! Would definitely return here, no hesitation, and would recommend to anybody that enjoys a great pub, this is one of those.

A post Christmas get together with 17 friends in early January. We dined in the gin library and were well looked after during the meal. But that is where the hospitality ended. After spending over £1.5k as a group we were horrified that once we had paid, the staff hurried us downstairs. More drinks were purchased and then swiftly without warning the staff told us to drink up. I was most surprised given they had taken further monies after our meal and said we could drink our drinks downstairs. Soon plastic glasses arrived on our table and we were ushered out of the premises. We were most disappointed given that we were allowed to buy another bottle of wine! 'hospitality on its knees ?!?' clearly not at the Sun! I like to support local businesses where ever possible, but this approach to service was not acceptable. I welcome an explanation of why this happened and hope to return to this independent to enjoy more great craft beer and delicious food in future.

I had Sunday lunch with my family yesterday and the service and food was excellent. I have visited the sun many times over the years and I can honestly say it’s by far the best pub/restaurant in the area. My one year old grandson loved the food, and the toys as well! A Very nice day thank you.

Went for a Sunday lunch with the family and the grand children, the staff were brilliant could not have be more helpful. food was very good with generous portions, not cheap but good value, the only downside was that is was cold in there, many customers had there coats on.

We had a very enjoyable post-christmas family gathering at The Sun. They were very well organised beforehand to make sure that our meal was hassle free and the food and service on the day was very good.
