Currently, the dinner I had at The Sun in Splendour is, without a doubt, the best I have ever had during all my trips to London. The place, very yellow on the outside, is the classic English pub that offers traditional dishes of the city accompanied by excellent beer. We basically tried a bit of everything: we started with prawns and chorizo, an interesting combination that created a great contrast between the sweetness of the prawns and the spiciness of the chorizo. We then shared three main courses, all sensational! The cheeseburger, in its simplicity, had tasty meat and perfectly cooked bacon, all covered in lots of cheddar; the fish & chips had, I think, the crispiest breading I have ever tried; finally the meat pie, for me the best I have eaten in years of traveling in the UK, had a very soft filling, it melted in the mouth, perfection if it were a pie. We couldn't help but try, after so much satisfaction, the dessert: the sticky toffle pudding was the worthy conclusion to an epic dinner. For me, as an Italian, even English cuisine has a great history and excellent flavors, and this pub is keen to tell its guests about it. We spent a bit but I don't regret a cent, a gastronomic experience like this is to be remembered and rewarded. I will return every time I return to London here, guaranteed.

Came here for quick shandy yesterday evening. My 2nd recent visit , though I was a regular 5 years ago . It's a great little pub conveniently located close to both Notting Hill Gate tube & Portobello Road Market . Service was prompt and friendly . Gents toilets spotlessly clean , with the added bonus of a wall mirror . They have a walled garden at the rear of the pub . The music was not exactly to my taste ( I'm more classic soul / indie rock / R&R ) but ,as the man said : "you can't always get what you want". I think that the ownership has changed since 5 years ago ?

Stopped by while visiting in super busy and way too peoply London. A quiet respite from sooo many people. Looking forward to a London visit when things are less busy. The Sun in Splendour (yes extra u in that word, haha American spelling) was the perfect spot off the Notthing Hill Gate subway stop.

I chose this pub as it had great reviews and I wanted to have a special evening with a family who had flown in from Spain. However, the staff were very unfriendly and didn't make us feel welcome or at ease at all - if anything, they seemed pissed off at us for absolutely no reason. This attitude lasted throughout the evening and was a very disappointing start to the Spanish family's holiday. I was extremely disappointed and will certainly not be returning.

My wife and I were tired and hungry having travelled from Oxford earlier in the day. Google directed us to The Sun In Splendour and we're pleased with Google's advice! Lovely atmosphere, very friendly service - food was OK a little "beige" the mixed starters. It arrived quickly and served a purpose. We were soon on our way. Would definitely return, we'd would be more considered with our choice from the menu... Couldn't fault the extra cold Guinness and the Sauvignon blanc👍🏻

We stopped by 'The Sun in Splendour' for a quick drink. Ended up having a couple. My wife had a Leffe, I had a Fullers London Pride. Then we both had a Camden Pale Ale. Very nice. We sat in the rear garden of the pub. Very nice landlord who served us and had a quick chat with. There was also a really friendly alsation doggy who stayed in the pub garden with us for quite a while. And with a sunny day as well, absolutely bliss!

I know I give very generous reviews, but this restaurant was outstanding. I went to this restaurant with 3 family members and a friend, and they all hreatly enjoyed their time at this place. The food was great, the chicken bacon cheese burger is what I had for lunch, and it was very filling. I left full and satisfied, with extra chips to eat another time. From who I went with, they all said that the food they ate was great, specifically saying they like the sirloin steak meal. The service was great too, the server was nice, and didn't waste time. He got our orders and came at the with all the food in the right order and all coming with good speed. I would estimate the main dishes came out in about 10-15 from ordering them. I sat in the secret gardens, they were very pretty but you would have to come at a less busy time to sit there. And even if you sit there if you are in a group of 5 or more you would most likely need to sit at multiple tables. But even if, the secret garden is a great place to sit and from what I saw the rest of the inside seating seemed very pretty. Great restaurant, great food, great experience. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant, it is a great experience and has great food.

Lovely sunday roast, really tasty and well cooked but unfortunately quite bad sticky toffee pudding. It was really dry, no soaked with caramel/toffee sauce at all, and no sauce on top either, also very ginger-y. Such a shame because we came years ago and had a very good memory of it.

The Sunday roast is still pretty stellar. However, the sticky toffee pudding is served without toffee sauce... which, aside from feeling a bit offensive, just leaves it really dry and unpleasant. Shame because we remember it being better

My wife my 5 month old daughter and I were struggling to find somewhere to eat on a very busy Sunday at Portobello market. Sam opened the door most tables were full or reserved, with a kind smile and a solution oriented mindset he figured out a way to seat us. I then watched him orchestrate seating a sea of guests in creative ways. From the secret garden to time limits on reserved tables to drinks at the bar until a table became available. Sam didn’t turn 1 customer away. This is the difference between return customers and not returning - it’s the difference between potentially hundreds of thousands in revenue in a year. I’m sure the training at the company must be really great or Sam is just 1 in a million either way I wanted to write this not only to recommend the great food but also to remind Sam and his team who constantly checked how we were and how was out food, but also how you did what you did with a can do attitude and effortless at being excellent is so rare these days ! Thanks again 💪🤩

I am writing this review while sitting at a high table because we enjoyed our fish and chips so much. We have eaten a lot of tasty treats in the Netherlands, but these really hit everything. So crispy and fresh, together with the delicious fries and sauce. We are unsure whether we will order another portion now because we actually want to discover even more gems. If you are in the area, definitely take a look and enjoy.

Zittend aan een hoog tafeltje schrijf ik deze review omdat we zo waanzinnig hebben genoten van onze vis en chips. In Nederland hebben we veel lekkerbekjes gegeten maar deze slaan werkelijk alles. Zo knapperig en vers en dat samen met de heerlijke patat en de saus. We twijfelen of we nu nog een portie gaan bestellen want we willen eigenlijk nog meer pareltjes ontdekken. Als je in de buurt bent ga zeker even kijken en genieten.

We booked the Coopers Arms to celebrate our daughter's wedding at Chelsea Town Hall. It was ideal for what we wanted - somewhere laid back and relaxed where everyone felt at home, including our five grandchildren. Quentin and Emily were great hosts and able to provide everything we asked for as soon as it was needed. We opted for a champagne toast with canapés. The food was delicious and again the sharing platters worked well for our group. A job very well done - thank you very much.

This gem should never be missed, service is fast, friendly and honestly great. Then being 24 hours open you get to be part of the unique vibe this place has at late nights. Food is fresh, recommend the Teriyaki Salmon and the smash burgers, literally mouth-watering. Cool one.
