The Sun Hotel and Bar in Lancaster

La semana pasada vinimos por el día y nos dieron una mesa y nos dijeron que era servicio de mesa. Nos sorprendió cuando nuestra camarera apareció con la máquina de tarjetas y nos pidió que pagar después de recibir nuestras bebidas, pero antes de que llegara la comida. No me importó ya que a veces hay que pagar en el bar de enfrente (aunque eso está pasando cada vez menos y muchos pubs, así como restaurantes han ido solo para el servicio de camarera). La mesa de cuatro a nuestro lado recibió sus entrantes, pero nos sorprendió cuando la máquina de tarjetas se trajo para que pagaran mientras comían su plato principal, que me pareció bastante grosero. Aparte de eso, tengo que decir que el Pollo Supremo que tuve fue el mejor de todos y estaba delicioso, pero espero que la administración no pida que la gente pague hasta después de haber comido sus comidas en el futuro?

He estado en muchas veces antes, sin embargo hoy especialmente. La comida es brillante y el personal es excelente. Personal encantador y servicial. Tenía el vientre de cerdo glaseado con bourbon y papas fritas de cajún halloumi con la mostaza mayo en lugar de los cítricos, un makers marca whisky bourbon y una rubia Lancaster para empezar. Platos absolutamente brillantes. Cerveza brillante. Un fan de la cervecería Lancaster y este hotel / bar mantiene sus calificaciones para mí 👌 P. s. Habría sacado una foto de la panza de cerdo pero se veía muy bien y me olvidé.

Nos alojamos aquí el sábado y era tan encantador, la habitación era preciosa y el desayuno era increíble incluido en el precio también, ya que reservamos directo, y nos mejoraron ya que era nuestro aniversario! muchas gracias que he estado antes, pero esta fue la primera vez de mi novio y le encantó también☺️

Fantástica estancia de una noche en The Sun Hotel & Bar en Lancaster. Habitación cómoda y relajante con un desayuno craquelado por la mañana. El equipo era amable, servicial y no podía hacer lo suficiente por usted. ¡Estaría feliz de volver!

Me dijeron que la comida era servicio de camareros. Se sentaron antes de las 3 pm para que nos dijeran que ya no servimos comida. Le dijo al camarero que nos dijo que era 'servicio de camareros' y que sabía que estábamos recibiendo comida. Camarero dijo ‘si quieres comida, necesitas ir a otro lugar’ mala actitud

30 / 9 muchacho encantador tomó nuestro pedido de bebidas y luego nuestro pedido de comida Los principiantes llegaron en tiempo rápido Seguido por las hamburguesas de pollos de la red y un falso pescado con patatas fritas La comida era deliciosa No nos damos cuenta de que había especiales, ya que no vimos el tablero nunca antes, así que podríamos haber perdido algo igualmente delicioso. Debe imprimir los especiales por separado y se le dará que con el menú Volveremos

Comida bastante decepcionante. La mía era carne sosa e insípida cocida con salsa acuosa y solo patata recién cocida. Mi compañero tenía la trucha más fina y la misma salsa que yo. Creo que si tienes la hamburguesa estándar o pescado con papas fritas probablemente estés en un terreno más seguro, pero optar por las cosas más sofisticadas fue un error. Chef no está realmente a la altura.

Stayed for three nights. Lovely hotel with really nice and helpful staff. The breakfasts we had were delicious too. Thank you all for a great stay!

Historic Building in fine location. Our room was excellent and despite being above a bar, the only noise was from outside. The staff are excellent and the service impeccable. Enjoyed a very generous breakfast from an extensive menu, all cooked to order. Has no on-site parking.

My husband and I called in for a drink, the sun was shining, the court yard was lovely, busy but we managed to find a space in the sunshine. A few hours later we were still there 😅so decided to order some food. The food and service was wonderful thank you

Lovely hotel, spotless. Was a bit sceptical stating in a room.above a pub on a Saturday night. Noise was minimal, mainly from people passing outside. Bed was great and king sized. Staff were great and friendly. Free WiFi. Prices was reasonable for a weekend. Would recommend to anyone considering staying in Lancaster. Shower was great also, powerful.

Fabulous stay at this hotel, great location and we were well looked after for my husbands birthday. Shame it was super hot as the free standing bath in the suite looks amazing, and definitely would’ve enjoyed that! Will definitely return.

Menu was really poor. Food that came was ok nothing special but nothing to shout home about. Service was good from the staff.

I was really looking forward to lunch and plumped for the lamb roast dinner. There was no mash and the carrots and broccoli were rock hard. I asked if it could be remedied. After a wait of approx 15 minutes my meal came back with mash but minus a few roast potatoes I originally had but carrots and broccoli were no different. I don't like veggies overcooked but these were bordering on raw. The yorkie pud had obviously been left under some kind of warmer as now was overdone. I was so disappointed. The staff were absolutely lovely but someone needs to have a word with the cook. At £15 I think t was overpriced. A friend had the fish and chips which he said were lovely.

I love this place and having lived in Lancaster for years but then moved away I was really looking forward to a trip back. The place remains beautiful (Juke box gone) the staff are so wonderful Lloyd was especially brilliant, above and beyond infact ! We stayed on the hottest day of June, we had to have the window open , unfortunately our room backed on to the beer garden which was a little loud (No music) not unreasonably though. The room was really good , the biggest bed outside of Newyork !

I had lamb shoulder and my wife had the roast chicken both were very tasty and cooked to perfection, I did ask for extra veg as the lamb didn’t really come with too much, they gave them to me complimentary so I would recommend this venue for a meal to anyone who was thinking of going. Recommended by another venue that didn’t do meals

What a cracking place, busy but well staffed so service was excellent and the atmosphere was fantastic, button on table to order more drinks. Didn’t eat, but the food looked great

Second time we’ve stayed here and used the bar/restaurant several times before. It’s a gem of a place. Ideal for visiting university students.

I stayed overnight last night, the room was surprisingly spacious for a cosy double, big walk-in shower, comfy + warm bed, very nice decor + furnishings, great staff - very nice + attentive - , lovely cosy pub area with a great drink selection, and the breakfast was great too! Very good location, round the corner from the castle + the shopping area. Great historical atmosphere.

We’ve been coming to the Sun on and off for years. Service and atmosphere tonight was great. Especially as it was so busy for a Wednesday night. The food was great, piping hot and cooked perfectly. I had the special seafood risotto. I know from travelling all over Italy it is hard to cook it right. But it was great. Good portion and great quality fish, only comment would be it could of done with some veg in there. There was a tiny bit of spinach, but some peas, leeks, asparagus etc would of been great. The same with my partners. He ordered the chicken, against so flavoured and perfectly cooked. But no veg. I looked on the menu to add some veg, but the only sides were salad or sweet potato fries. That is my only niggle. Apart from that great night!

Spent new years eve into new years day here and was not disappointed. The hotel is in a great location and ticks all the boxes for food, drink and service. Staff very pleasant polite efficient and professional. Chef cooked us a superb breakfast 😋. Thanks for looking after us. We'll be back.

First glance, it looks like a nice-enough pub. Look again. Beyond the amazing range of beer and spirits; the restaurant does good traditional food - but does it outstandingly. We ate twice: fish and chips and the lamb burger - delicious, fresh, using local high quality produce. But it's the accommodation that makes this place. I can honestly say that this is the best value hotel I've stayed in for years. The rooms are Hotel du Vin standard: quiet, beautifully done, comfortable. A real gem of a place and I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Lancaster

Visited today with my husband & dog. Really warm welcome. Nice vibe in the pub. The staff were really friendly, couldn’t do enough for you & on it. We didn’t even have to ask for the water for our dog a lovely gentleman already had everything sorted, Tilly even got a sausage. Amazing food, really tasty & huge portions. Great choice of drinks. Reasonable prices & left really full. Will definitely be back. Would definitely recommend.

Just popped in with a few friends for a couple of pints and we had a great few hours in the pub. All of the staff were friendly and the whole vibe of the pub was nice and relaxed.

Fantastic venue. Walked into the Pub and all looked very clean & tidy and received a wonderful welcome from bar staff. Had a quick walk though the premises and couldn’t believe how spacious, clean and organised things were. Toilets spotlessly clean. We sat down at 12 lunchtime with friends had a wonderful meal from a varied and very interesting menu that tasted delightful. Can’t believe how popular this place is which really tells a tale. LOVED IT!!

Breakfasts are good and varied choices cooked to order. Dinners were also fresh and tasty - and the steak and ale pie was really excellent: rich and succulent. Fish and chips were reported to be good, and all portions were generous.

We wanted an informal and relaxed small wedding meal for 12 and because we'd been to The Sun a few times before, decided to hold the meal in the private room just off the main bar. The organisation of the whole event was very easy...

The room was nice with a comfortable bed and a big shower in the ensuite bathroom. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious. 5 stars.

Had the eggs & avo for lunch. I have to say that this was very average, the poached egg was rubbery and the salad leaves were starting to turn yellow. Places like Journey Social and The Quarterhouse do amazing versions of this dish. Maybe other...

On a freezing cold morning my twin brother Stephen and I were wandering around this part of town when we chanced upon The Sun Pub and what a great find. Walking in and I knew I would enjoy my visit to this historic pub. The...

Very comfortable room, friendly helpful staff, a good range of real ales with well cooked food in very large portions. We hope to return here again.

I believe my previous report of a few years back mentioned the overwhelming impression of ‘brown’, well, “very dark wood”. Nothing has changed. That’s a good thing. There’s a warm and cosy feel to the pub, particularly in the winter months. The staff were welcoming...

Came in for lunch today to find out they launched a new menu I tried the new fellside burger which was incredible!! The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Couldn’t fault the experience! Definitely will be returning.

Menu stated tripple cooked chunky chips. Was like the last bits from a cheap bag of frozen fries all dry and crispy bits. This was part of a main which was £14.the waiter just said sorry......

Waited over an hour for a Sunday roast, advised to order at the bar which meant waiters kept asking us if we had ordered, we were given no cutlery. Had been over 45 minutes before a member of staff even alerted us to how long...

Booked a family meal for 12 last night in the side room of the main bar. All staff were great, really looking after us for the evening. Special mention to Tom, who was attentive and professional. He is real asset to the pub. Everyone in...

We popped into the Sun Hotel and Bar for few beers ,it’s a nice looking bar but very busy . The food looked good too . Though the same bar order was never the same price twice ,bizarre! A good place to visit though .

Sunday lunch, one of us vegan, age ranges from 21 to 90 and a dog, all had an excellent meal. Plant platter included the best falafels ever tasted, scotch eggs perfect with beautifully soft egg yolks and only complaint (if a complaint) was the portions...

Considering the impact on the hospitality industry over the past 18 months it is refreshing to find a city centre public house with a strong focus on customer experience. The pub itself is one of the best I have visited since recently moving into the...

We had lunch at the Sun. The menu choice was excellent & the food simply delicious. Great real ale & wine choices. The staff were fabulous. We will definitely be back soon.

We met some friends for lunch yesterday and chose The Sun as it's one of the very best in Lancaster. Very nice friendly staff and always great food. We would definitely recommend the sea bass and steak pudding and the crumble was delicious! Always great...

Love this place - especially the heaters in the back garden. Perfect for when we were only able to drink outside. Enjoyed the ability to press the buzzer for a waiter to take our order. Very friendly. And great gin selection!

My boyfriend booked the hotel for a night away and we had breakfast the following morning. One of the nicest full English breakfasts I've ever had!

This isnt a review as such, but something that may be something that management need to implement.Having sat down at a cleaned table, waitress took our drinks and returned with them...no issues there! On chatting with my GF, she noticed staff cleaning down used tables with sanitiser fluid and then wiping it with what looked like a dish cloth / tea towel. My GF works in retail and in compliance to Public health England guidelines they throughly recommend that surfaces are wiped clean with a paper cloth and then disgarded as to then reduce cross contamination between tables, regardless if the cloth currently being used is soaked in sanitiser. Up your game please.

I have visited The Sun for a lunchtime drink before eating elsewhere since lockdown eased and found it scrupulously COVID aware and I have been totally confident in their approach. Today myself and my friend ate lunch here with the same strict guidelines in use by the extremely friendly staff. We ate off the specials, my friend had the beautiful butternut squash risotto and I had the fantastic chicken madras - such top quality food (I couldn’t finish mine, I had to have a doggy bag!) Hats off to the chefs for the gorgeous food and hats off to the staff for fabulous friendly service. Highly recommend

Stayed here for our anniversary got a great deal on the luxury room, beautiful room it had everything we needed cleanliness was brilliant, staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing definitely staying here again.

We went not realising it was eat out to help out, which meant a forty minute wait for food. When it arrived wasn’t really anything special, we left a lot of it- hummus was very bland, cheese on bruschetta was over grilled making it super bitter, veggie burger was bought in and okay. Waitress was good tho considering the businesses and Covid situation very efficient

Had an awesome meal at The Sun last week. A fantastic selection and everything was really fresh. Beware the huge portions! I had the loaded hummus to start and it would have fed 4. To top it off I ordered the smorgasbord - a selection of cut meats, cheeses and assorted breads and dips - had to take half of it home! The kids loved their sandwich and fish n chips, and my wife had the best chicken Caesar she’s ever eaten. Lovely environment, fabulous food, friendly, patient and professional staff (top marks to Courtney and the Chef for allowing my wife to change her mind several times!)Will eat there again whenever I’m in Lancaster...

I visited here for lunch with my daughter. The place has implemented good measures in relation to social distancing which work really well and is reassuring to see. Both the service and the food were very good. Most of the tables were occupied when we were there and when we ordered our food we were advised that there may be a bit of a wait due to this, in the end we didn't have to wait too long at all and we enjoyed our meal.

Once again my partner chose somewhere with banging choices for the get ready vegan. The herbi-board is a £20 colossal dinner. It did say some nonsense about sharing, but I’m not good with that word. A plethora of deliciousness was devoured. Warm ciabatta, sun blushed tomatoes, red pepper hummus, sweet potato fries, tamarind glazed tofu, chick pea battered cauliflower, wild mushroom and cashew pâté, relish, mushroom arancini and a new potato and chive salad. Of course I needed a portion of hand cut chips on the side. With eyes bigger than the ever growing belly I just about finished the lot. An excellent feast for a vegan beast. My partners coop burger looked on the larger side too. I am told it tasted great.

One of those places I always visit when I'm in the centre. Most of the visitors are locals and/or University linked. I first came here when I was a student a decade ago and I'm frequenting it now. Smart and welcoming inside, young and efficient staff (lot of students and graduates work here). Food is excellent and they always have good veggie choices. Beer options are the best in town.

I reported alleged food poisoning to them due to all the following day being ruined due to immediate toilet needs, will spare the details. Not to mention me smelling out TK Maxx with my farts a couple of hours after eating here, allegedly. Guess you would have had to have been there. Was asked for fill in some form for a non-biased “investigation” with lots of stupid questions, as expected the results came back in their favour. Reported it to the council, but they also “washed their hands” of it (ha! the irony! ).The non-biased “investigation” revealed that is was likely due to something I ate 24-48h before which was home cooked tasty food prepared by my wife (really good actually, she cooks very well), she had the same and did not get ill, mindful that some bacterium show symptoms as soon as 30min after eating.When I read other reviews about hand washing plus the results of the non-biased “investigation”, the conclusion is; my toilet trouble had nothing to do with eating at The Sun and my wife is trying to kill me… maybe I’ll swap our plates next time she cooks something…In no relation to my illness, I have a low opinion of 5 star hygiene ratings, they are like a car MOT, only apply to the date of inspection and not done on a busy Saturday afternoon. It’s easy for standards to fall knowing that a repeat inspection wouldn’t happen for at least a year, unless a customer complains giving chance for standards to raise again in preparation for any “surprise” inspection. In many other countries restaurant workers are tested monthly for food transmissible diseases (e.g. Hepatitis), not the case in the UK where it’s all about keeping food in correctly labelled tubs.

The hotel was nice but overpriced. TV alarm clock went off in middle of night! Probably woke up more than just us. Staff just said ok will get housekeeping to sort. No good for us as we paid for a night's sleep we didn't get!

Visited today Monday 6th January for breakfast, the service was good, the food was amazing. Best full English breakfast we have had in the area. You serve your own drinks so as much coffee and fresh orange as you like. The only drawback was the coffee wasn’t very hot but as soon as we mentioned this a fresh hot batch was put out. Would definitely visit again and is great value for money.

Early evening coffee was needed, we popped into The Sun. good service, quiet and comfortable. Not too busy and there was plenty of seating in the main area and through to next door. The gents toilets needed a clean though.

We finished our tour of Lancaster at the Sun. Perfectly located just 100 yards from the taxi rank. Brilliant place. Great choice at the bar, well looked after and very pretty inside. We had all eaten and declined one of their many beer options and instead worked our way through an unbelievable gin & tonic menu. One of our favourite bars from the evening.

We had a meal at the Sun Hotel on the 4th November as a family of 10. The food was excellent, the Lancaster Ale's brilliant and our night made even better by the service. We live in Gran Canaria where as a rule service is top class, its very rare I find this in the UK but The Sun Hotel matched it. Well done to everyone, especially our waiter Will, (he would fit perfectly on our island). Great night and we will return

Enjoyed a lovely one night stay in this boutique hotel with my friend last week . We stayed in the executive twin room on the top floor which had plenty of space . We didn’t eat on an evening in the hotel but the breakfast was lovely especially the potatoes you get instead of a hash brown which I don’t like . Would stay there again ! The quiz night in the bar on a Tuesday night is popular.

Just been in this dinnertime and the place itself is lovely, can't complain about the appearance of the place. However, when placing my order the younger blonde member of bar staff had a bad attitude. Looked at me like crap and as I ordered she dismissively snapped at me 'you might as well order with her if you're getting food!' Zero manners, looked hungover and just plain rude when I'm a guest spending a fair amount of money in there.Correct this and you've got an okay place.Avoid if you dislike unwelcoming bar staff!

Good beer, good food, beautiful building, friendly staff. Stopped off for a sandwich and a pint before a long train journey home and can’t complain at all.

It was a very wet evening in Lancaster so the bar of the Sun Hotel had a somewhat captive clientele - a not unusual situation for this part of the UK. Refreshingly there was no attempt whatsoever by the staff to exploit this situation. They were prompt, attentive and very friendly. With some good cask ales and a traditionally old ambience this was a welcome refuge for a damp traveller on his way north.

Good central location. Staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food was quite reasonable. The cauliflower soup was excellent, the 'Fake Chicken' was good but the 24 hour beef had far too much fat. The beer was good.

Been a couple of times over Summer. Often bring our little boy here as they're very kid friendly. Drink choice is mega, there's a fantastic baby changing area and the entire place reeks of middle class urban England. Always full of locals and foreign visitors, food is good and drink is excellent. Not that expensive, especially when you consider its clientele. WiFi is a bit hit and miss... so it's not perfect.

Love the sun, always perfect food and service every time.

Stayed one night in room 12, view to the back of the hotels fire escape which was fine for city centre one night, very quiet.

On business in the sun inn we were royally looked after. Ellie in particular was lovely and I will certainly be going back. G&T; in a straight glass for a change. Even though we were fairly difficult customers, Grace couldn't have been more helpful. Thanks guys

We visited for the first time on the recommendation of a local person on our most recent visit to Lancaster. We didn’t eat this time but the food going out looked delicious and a visit for dinner is definitely on the cards. We tried the Lancaster Blonde beer and the grapefruit beer; both were delicious. There is a great choice of drinks. Picturesque interior and don’t miss the well! Pleasant and friendly staff, I really enjoyed my visit.

Been coming here for years, in a busy part of town but there aren't too many good ale pubs in this patch. We often start on the beer but end up snacking on the food. The food is great. Relaxed and chilled place, very good beer.

We were in town early one evening, went in for a drink and decided to stay for dinner. A starter of lovely crisp whitebait whetted our appetites. We were unsure what to choose as a main course, but we were attracted to the £18 sharing plates - pork ("This Little Pig"), fish or mixed. They were described as "a big meal for one person, good for two people to share". We ordered the pork plater and were gobsmacked when it arrived - a large slab of excellent ribs, belly pork, pigs in blankets, crackling, scotch eggs, salad, chips, bread and butter, may and chilli sauce - a huge platter! It was all gorgeous but we couldn't finish it - you'd have to be a big eater if you were tackling it solo! Good wine, friendly service and nice decor all helped. A lovely evening and remarkably good value.

We called into the Sun bar because Cath wanted a coffee and a sit down, The staff were very welcoming and polite , Cath ordered her coffee and I had a pint of beer ,We sat down and looked around the place was steeped in history you could see the different elements of time it was open and who used it. Great place to visit the meals are a little expensive but for a good atmosphere and friendly staf a good plce to visit.

Whether it's just a drink (fancy, quality place without being pretentious) or you want a pub meal with food that's definitely restaurant quality, then this is the place. Always our starting point, beer is well kept and the place is always very well looked after. Upmarket without being full of haughty posh people. It's more expensive than the cheap places in town, but it's much cheaper than certain other well known bar restaurants.

Popped in for lunch partly because it's in the CAMRA beer guide and because the Asian sharing platter on the menu sounded interesting. The beer (chocolate fudge milk stout) was lovely. The platter was underwhelming. Expected better flavours being "Asian" and for £18 it really wasn't very generous. Don't get me wrong, it all was perfectly edible but just expected more for the money, so disappointed.

The drinks selection is great and the menu fantastic. Always hard to pick what to eat as everything sounds amazing. Working our way through the sharing platters and would definitely recommend them. My favourite beer is the Lancaster black, so it's great to go somewhere where it's available and there's always plenty of seasonal and guest ales to try too.

Stopped in while waiting for a train for a few hours on a Sunday. Ordered the Tastes of Asia gourmet board. It arrived in a reasonable amount of time. It was quite tasty, although probably a tiny bit overpriced for what you got. Staff were fine, and restaurant area was nice, with clearly marked sockets for phone charging (handy!).

Came here for dinner and had a bit of a wait for our food. We didn't say anything but when my partner went to bar to order another drink, they apologised for the wait and gave us free drinks. We really appreciated this, especially as we had not got round to saying anything.

Not a huge menu but has a nice selection to choose from.

Came here for lunch Easter Sunday, didn't book, it was quiet. Sat in the sun in the beer garden and enjoyed great food. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, I had the butternut squash linguine it was actually amazing, great portion size and presentation. My partner enjoyed a buttermilk chicken sandwich, also great. We shared a size of bread with oil & balsamic, was lovely fresh bread, and warm, also a great size portion for the price. Service was great and friendly, we were well looked after. Would definitely recommend as one of the nicer places to eat and drink in Lancaster.

This is one of my favourite places in Lancaster. It’s so chilled; a pub atmosphere where you can sit and not be bothered by anyone but with restaurant quality food. The staff couldn’t be friendlier if they tried and I find a new drink to try on the bar every time. Keep doing what you’re doing guys - well done!

No table service. No service to mention. Starter of Pigs in Blankets fine - good value to share. However, main course of Pork Belly and 24 hour Beef very disappointing - both appeared pre-prepared elsewhere and simply reheated on site - very little flavour. Beef tough - certainly not fall-apart tender. Pork huge amount of uncrisped fat and overdone meat. When we mentioned this to staff when they asked how the food was they said they'd mention to the management. They came back with an offer of coffee or sweet on the house - both declined. A real disappointment as this pub offers some different dishes to the run of the mill offered elsewhere and the prices are reflected - a pity it was below average. We won't be back.

Arranged to meet my Mum here for lunch lsat Friday, when I arrived my Mum was already there and the first thing she said was "the bar staff have made me feel very uncomfortable", they were indeed rather unfriendly and lacking in many of the normal manners associated with good customer service. The beer was good, the setting great, the food to a rather long time to arrive and not exactly the hottest. Will arrange a different meeting place next time.

We had been before so knew the Sun was going to be good and it was up its usual high standard. Excellent food and very professionals staff.

One of my favourites for a drink, we popped in for Saturday lunch. Always busy, we managed to get one of the last tables. We had one of their "posh butties" which was massive and v nice. Brilliant for drinkers, good selection. Food is consistently quality.

Called into the sun recently for breakfast with family. We were pleasantly surprised. The food was freshly cooked, the portion size more than ample and the ingredients were quality. Service was very good and the place was nice and quiet. I had two items from the continental offering and this was excellent value. Will definitely go again.

Decided to go out with my father for Sunday lunch. Checked out Tripadvisor and chose this place. It wasn’t too busy which should maybe have warned us a little.

Stopped here for lunch today as had studied the menu before getting to Lancaster earlier in the week. Wasn’t hugely hungry so opted for the posh butties and boy was it yummy and filling! Couldn’t finish all of it as there was so much and worth the money. I had the Goats Cheese, peppers and pesto sandwich on brown doorstep bread, it was so good. Looking at the other food coming out to customers, definitely looks like they serve a decent amount of food for the cost and it was all hot. Loved the selection of drinks behind the small bar, just a shame I was designated driver! Would definitely visit again to try their boards of food and some of the other dishes available.

Historic pub, a few old features highlighted which was nice. We just stopped for a drink following a bus ride to very windy Morecombe! Both of us like craft beer so we has two each, very nice. Would certainly come here again. Decent ladies loo.

Only called in for a drink to experience the history of Lancaster. The pub is very clean.We had eaten elsewhere,but looking at the meals being served,will visit here again to try.The bar staff were very friendly.looking forward to our return.

Was visiting Lancaster University and wanted a good breakfast to start the day, having researched a bit on TA saw The Sun Hotel, good ratings and it deserves them. I had the "not quite so full English", my wife and daughter the poached eggs on toast. All got rave reviews, freshly cooked and all the better for it. A nice old well kept pub atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff, left us feeling very satisfied. Plan on staying over and booking a room for our next visit to the Uni.

Visited the sun with my husband, fantastic sharing board, excellent choice of beers and wines, staff so polite.

On a recent visit to Lancaster a friend recommended a visit to The Sun. a great choice of drinks all served by excellent staff. The food was very nice. An all round decent place to finish a nice day in Lancaster.

We enjoyed some drinks here with friends early evening and were pleasantly surprised at the variety and quality of the beers. They were in tip top condition, particularly the Lancaster Blonde. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was good.

Enjoyed a lovely meal here with my family last weekend. I managed to have great food and stay true to veganuary which was great. Thankyou.

While in Lancaster we decided to be cheeky, asking some of the bar staff at places we visited where else in the city they would recommend we enjoy a drink. They were pleased to do so. One recommendation was The Sun. For some reason we had passed it by more than once without bothering to stop, so we remedied this.

Great pub for a drink - lovely old building, staff attentive & polite etc. However, in my opinion, the food is overpriced & not that great. I had fish and chips at £12.50, both of which were very greasy. Some of the specials were £15+.

Went for a Sunday roast with friends, the portions were huge and all very tasty. Staff were friendly and pleasant, nothing was too much trouble. Have been a few times and will keep going back.

We were recommended to come here for a drink and we are glad that we did. Very interesting inside and a real fire. Good range of seating. Definitely worth popping in!

Went in for something to eat with my partner on a Saturday afternoon. Always a great atmosphere in the Sun, great beers and wine to. We hadn't eaten in there for a number of years and wanted something a little different in town that wasn't to formal and good value. We really enjoyed it. Food was really good, I had a burger and my partner had the pork. It was well presented and cooked perfectly. This combined with the friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere made this occasion a triumph!

Visited for lunch, food was well cooked and reasonably well presented. Ordered food at the bar and it arrived in good time. The pork dish was very nice, although putting a big sprig on coriander on the top probably isn't the best, it was hard to eat and was definitely too much coriander for the dish. Something smaller or micro coriander would probably be better. Aside from that, the potatoes with it were perfect.

Incredibly old pub recommended to us by a dear friend from Lancaster. Loads of history going on and things to look at. Decent range of beers and bottles. Only stayed for one drink but it was nice to have somewhere unusual with character.

Thanks to Colleagues for this dinner. I had the Mushroom hotpot as starter, i was so tasty and the mushroom sauce was still hot when i have my last piece of mushroom! Followed with duo pork! Yummy, a plate that i will never find in Malaysian restaurant! Will return here again, surely!
