The Sun Inn in Isle of Wight

Sunday lunch 29th September Decided to give their pub another go as reviews looked hopeful. Even spoke to a couple the next table who said you won’t be disappointed. Firstly the table was a little sticky and the reserved sign has dirt on it ! Looked like gravy. Chair was wood and no cushion so uncomfortable for anything longer than a few minutes. I had to go out to my car to get my coat as I was cold. My husband ordered at the bar and returned with a very flat looking beer. Apparently they are unable to get a head on it ! Something to do with the machine. Food arrived and I was shocked. The child meal or mini roast was on a the smallest plate yet they had piled it with vegetables that you couldn’t sort it so my son could actually eat with any decorum. There was a Yorkshire pudding on top that was limp and doughy- not crispy as they should be. Potatoes are clearly deep fried as crispy but just a tad too and no flavour as you wouldn’t want to ruin the oil would you. Mine and my husband’s Yorkshire puddings unfortunately looked the same so I asked for some cooked ones. They came out the same. The potatoes were appalling as well. No salt and pepper on the table to add some flavour. Had to ask. Both my husband and I had asked for double meat which you pay a little more for. Even when the server brought mine out he said ‘chicken ?’ I said I ordered ‘chicken and pork’ !! Oh yes he said there is pork as well. I’d have to forgive him for not seeing it though as it was almost non existent. No crackling which was clearly being eaten by half the other diners as you could hear them but not on our plates. To enjoy cauliflower cheese you can order this on the side at a cost. It looked like it had been dipped in mustard and there was little sauce but a dry coating of cheese tang to the cauliflower. It was just weird. You can order extra stuffing, potatoes and even limp Yorkshire’s at further cost. Thankfully we did not. So we spent over £60 and was left wanting. The server was in his own and not checking his diners. We left within 40 minutes. Shamefully I feel I have to write this as the other reviews are misleading. I really wouldn’t waste your money.

What a lovely place. They made room for me and my wife for a Sunday roast whilst on our holiday. Amazing food, great fast service and brilliant value for money. I highly recommend this place ..

We have visited several times and always had a lovely meal, including lots of gluten free options for my wife. Most recently, we had a lovely family Sunday lunch with my parents. We were a group of five, three generations of our family. Lovely food - Sunday roasts all round (again with GF gravy etc where needed) and friendly service. We'd booked ahead as we knew they'd be busy and a nice table had been saved for us. Plenty of parking outside and a lovely location.

Second time visiting here in the last couple of months and both times it has been a fantastic meal. The burgers are really amazing, great size portions, top quality beef and tasty chips. Kids were very happy with the children's menu which includes the usual suspects. Puddings also really tasty, though some of the particularly tantalising options weren't available when we visited. It didn't matter when the chocolate fudge cake and waffles were as delicious as they were. Drinks options were a little limited on the night (no diet soft drinks on offer), but the cloudy apple juice was appreciated by many in our group and the Otter Ale was great. Also had one local IOW cask ale on tap too which was good to see. The staff are friendly, the pub clean and the little train that runs around the ceiling of the bar area was a hit with the kids. This is the sort of pub that you may miss as you drive through Calbourne on the main road, but it is somewhere well worth stopping at as you pass through or even to drive out of your way to visit, the burgers in particular are that good. Will certainly be visiting again next time we're on the island.

Arrived at the pub at lunch time, it wasn’t very busy, lots of available seating. We were a party of five people, one of us vegan. I asked to see the menu to make sure there was something suitable for my diet before we sat down at a table. The waiter asked if he could help and I asked if they had any vegan options as there wasn’t anything apparent on the menu. He asked if I could have milk, I said no, to which he said there was nothing on the menu and they didn’t cater for vegans. We decided to have a drink from the bar and work out where we were going to head to for lunch. The lady at the bar asked if we would like to see the menu, so I enquired again if they had anything for vegans, she said no, they are ‘too difficult to cater for’! My group were hungry, so we decided to stay and I would find something to eat later. The food was average. We ate outside and the views were amazing. Whilst two of the five were still eating, with food still on their plates, a waitress hovered nearby, awkwardly, and then asked if she could clear our plates. She took two plates and managed to drop the knife, covered in food on to my lap. A jacket potato, salad, hummus, falafels, sandwich, would be incredibly easy options to have on the menu, but apparently a vegan diet is too difficult to cater for. Not only was the food average and the options poor, but the service and attitude was also really bad.

Popped in on a Round the Island tour. Never been here before. Staff were polite and courteous. They didn't do Garlic Bread on the menu but knocked something up for me. It was delicious. Lovely meal too. My wife said it was the best 5 bean chilly she'd ever had. Will definitely come again, with friends too.

We had a lovely meal at the Sun Inn . The food was delicious . There was only one chef on but the lovely lady behind the bar worked so hard to get everything out to us .

Pleasant & relaxing atmosphere for dinner. They have updated whilst retaining character (the model train 😁). Good menu choice and specials for 3 adults inc 1 vegan. Plus the dogs were welcomed 🐶🐶❤️. The meals appeared home cooked (not straight out of Costco, which tends to end up being the vegan offering in uk restaurants). Serving dinner from 5pm is good for families, nb closed Mondays.

We stopped by for lunch and wasn’t disappointed, absolutely amazing service and great food too. The young man who served us was very friendly and very polite what an absolute gentleman who helped me with my husband who is in a wheelchair. The burger was amazing as was the cod and chips, the chips were absolutely delicious as was all our food. We will be back soon thank you very much for your hospitality.

We ate here as a group of 6 adults and 3 children. Food was very good with a good selection on the menu. Made to feel very welcome and was reasonably priced.

Been a few times now, waited for the menu change before reviewing. Comprehensive menu on weekdays which have never failed to impress with a variety of meals. Came on a Sunday with a table of 6. Mostly double meat roasts and a triple. Clear plates all round. Absolutely fantastic. Will certainly be headed back for another Sunday roast. Such good quality and so reasonably priced. And they have extra available children's meals.

Drove past by chance, stopped off too grab some lunch. Dog friendly. Lovely pub, the chap behind the bar was super friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. They brought over a bowl of fresh water for the dog. I couldn’t believe it when I popped into the toilets. There was a selection of sanitary products, body sprays, deodorant and even dental floss! What a fantastic kind gesture. Would definitely recommend

Amazing vegan food. We visited on the first day of our holiday and were very happy to find a pub with so many good vegan options. I had the vegan curry which was one of the best curries I have had. My partner had an amazing curry and my mum had a fully vegan nut roast. The service was quick and the barman great! I would highly recommend, especially if you’re vegan!!

Fabulous roast dinner beautifully cooked. Lovely service by friendly staff. Highly recommend. Also appreciated the smaller portion for one of us that don’t want the full large roast dinner. Don’t hesitate to go it was lovely 🥰

I was impressed with the very hearty Sunday roast here. The focus was on home style cooking rather than frills. All the trimmings and various extras were available that you don't see in more fancy places. The stuffing and cauliflower cheese were excellent. With a plate full of food and tasty roast potatoes on the side and even extra gravy without having to ask - it delivered everything we wanted. Highly recommend and we will be back.

Went to this pub for food and a few drinks, the staff was 10/10 and the food was amazing. Had the privilege of meeting the landlord (jake). I think his name was that he was so welcome. Would you come visit this pub again for sure!.

Good steak and ale pie and chips. The pub also does good ale for the hash house harriers! They looked after us for our Daffodil evening dinner.

Very lovely welcome from the owners on arrival Steak was amazing ,not many pubs can get that right Fish and chips also lovely And nice red wine Will return

We were made very welcome to this otherwise pretty unatmospheric inn. Service was good and the teenagers enjoyed their burgers. The salmon dish from the specials board was a bit mean and dull and looks like a small supermarket steak. Veg reminded me of school. By no means a bad experience but disappointing.

Good brilliant and plentiful, the steak was perfect and the wife said the cod was excellent, friendly owners and regulars , will go again

Just had an amazing meal here tonight. The food was lovely, tasty and plenty of it. Such a friendly welcoming pub will certainly be back. Thank you

Amazing goat tacos , great service and fun quiz , all in all great evening . Price is wight voucher and well with the money . Lovely friendly staff

A great Burns Night with Haggis and Cranachan!! The black pudding scotch egg was awesome Ben! Loved it all..... a fantastic night with friends, poetry and Bagpipes!!!

Just had a fantastic roast dinner, everything was fresh. Followed by homemade jam sponge and custard which was lovely. Friendly staff and nothings too much trouble. Would highly recommend

Enjoyed lunch after a walk here from Brighstone. Nice and warm and the dog made welcome. Friendly staff and the food very good. Tasty sirloin steak and homemade treacle tart with custard. We had a Price is Wight voucher. The staff made sure that we were served promptly so that we didn’t miss our bus home.

Lovely place to eat. Good choice of food. Lovely atmosphere. Enjoyed our meal here.food was delicious

After hearing great reviews on the food here, we decided to pay a visit for Sunday roast, and it didn't disappoint. We had a very warm welcome when we arrived, with friendly efficient service. We all had roasts and the food was lovely and tasty, with extra gravy and even asked if we would like some more. Lovely atmosphere in the pub too. Will definitely recommend to family and friends, can't wait for our next visit.

The worst thing about this was the service - an hours wait for food! I enjoyed my meal but other members of the party’s food was slightly tepid. Unfortunately nobody checked back with us if everything was ok with our meals. On the plus side it was nice to try somewhere different but not sure we’d return.

Lovely food, we had the mixed cheese ploughman’s and it was perfect, plenty of cheese. We also had puddings, spotted dick homemade ❤️ and I had the waffle with ice cream ❤️. Everywhere was clean and the service was spot on. Good selection of drinks also. We will be back 😊

My freind had eaten his food before mine didnt ever arrive. Appalling service, lazy distracted staff all totally disorganised Arrogant unapolagetic management will soon learn that customers vote with their feet. Last weeks nut roast was raw in the middle but I was so pleased there was a vegan menu I didnt complain. Best part of tha meal was the fresh carrots. Will not go there until they change hands again Such a shame, the last owners had built up a brilliant reputation over years of hard work for really good freshly made vegan food. So disapointed we came long way for this CRAP.

We had a lovely meal here last week. My husband had steak which was beautifully cooked. He said the chips were the best he had ever tasted. My prawn ploughmans was also very nice. I could not resist Eton Mess as a pudding and again it was one of the best ( and I have tasted a lot). We would highly recommend people pay The Sun Inn a visit. We will return soon.

A terrible evening spoilt but poor food which was cold and small portion. Dished up in a dirty metal bowl that looked like it should have been used to give dogs water. Mean mean mean and very poor quality

Popped in for Dinner Friday and could not fault the food or the service , excellent all round. The manager and staff were delightful and the food was very good. The french onion soup was the best we have ever had , the roast beef and steak and kidney pie ,lovely, nice fresh veg and plenty of it. I have to mention the waffle with cream, it was lush. We will definately be going back for more. Please thank the chef for his lovely soup..

I had hunters chicken, the worst one I have had in my life, the waitress took it back, bacon was so crisp, chicken stringy, grilled cheese like a piece of cardboard, then the chef came out to ask me why I had complained and brought a small portion of the food that had been taken away on a plate not the burnt charred bits and asked me why, he then made me feel ridiculous for not eating the food, stay clear of this pub

We came today for a roast dinner and dessert and the food was outstanding. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will be back .

We had a lovely Sunday roast and desert today. Staff were really friendly and tables cleared very quickly. Would definitely return and recommend. 😊

Perfect roast dinner and pudding today! We had a good look at the menu and will definitely be back. The menu is varied and very reasonably priced, which is a breath of fresh air. The staff were both friendly and efficient, all worked really hard.

Decided to eat here on a Sunday evening after looking on Facebook and Tripadvisor, we did phone some other local pubs but they all stopped serving food! We was looking for dinner around 7pm! So was starting to get disheartened! Called The Sun Inn they answered straight away and was very helpful on the phone and took our booking! Try Not to make this too long but Basically the food Is 10/10!! We had roast dinners and lasagna and they were all absolutely delicious! Food took about 45mins but absolutely was worth the wait and sometimes it’s nice to actually have some down time before food! No rushing in and rushing out! We was full to the brim so didn’t have dessert but would love to try next time! We was a group of 4 adults and 1 puppy! Extremely dog friendly made to feel welcome which sometimes isn’t always the case in local pubs! Long Story Short give this place a go! 100% Recommend! Friendly staff with great food! Thank you guys🤍

What a treat we had! Fish, chips and peas, scampi chips and peas. Beautifully presented and piping hot. Delivered for free by a lovely lady. Ordered and paid for online and delivered in a socially distanced way. We’ll be ordering again soon!

As these are tricky times to go out to celebrate we made use of their food delivery service to celebrate a special birthday - a 91st!!! We enjoyed the mixed meat roast for three. The food arrived hot and absolutely on time - delivered by a lovely, cheerful driver. It was all very tasty with plenty of delicious gravy. We also had the apple tart and jam sponge pudding which were equally good. We really hope to enjoy sampling the rest of the menu on future occasions!!

We had an excellent lunch here. Nothing too much trouble for the staff. They even took care of our two dogs. Pleasant and safe surroundings and food really good.

Unpretentious pub with good food. We went early for dinner so it wasn’t very busy but service was friendly and food was delicious. Teenager had cod, chips and peas (ate the lot), Mum had breaded plaice, Dad has roast beef (commented that there was not one piece of fat or gristle) and I had the special, home made chicken Kiev which didn’t look great but was delicious. Very reasonable prices too.

This was at the end of our Yarmouth to Calbourne ramble. Not booked at our chosen lunch venue so turned away and had to revise our plans for the afternoon's walk . However we DID have a booking here and were warmly welcomed, even though we were early. Reasonable menu and reasonably priced. Food tasty when it arrived. Staff mixed my red wine with my soda. This was a first for me but hey you can have WHITE wine with soda, so why not RED? They also got rather muddled with our dessert order, but really good-natured about sorting it all. Again the food was good when it arrived. Really handy for the bus too. Just wished I'd popped in when I first arrived in the afternoon, as then I'd have spotted the shop, and been able to get a late lunch snack.

Stopped here on the way to a local farm. Food was good and the staff were attentive and helpful. App for ordering during lockdown was easy to use and undoes by the staff quickly and efficiently

Called in for lunch here when walking in the area. This is an unpretentious local that serves good ale and food. Great care taken over COVID. Very friendly greeting and service and we really enjoyed our lunch.

Good food and service was very good. Staff although busy were very helpful.Room to eat indoors and outside. Well worth a visit.

We enjoyed an evening dining in the restaurant. Fabulous food in a very welcoming environment. The service was great and we would highly recommend.

Used the delivery service this evening and loved it!! Food was quick, tasty and still piping hot. Helpful staff. All around fab!! Definitely recommend

Just had a great meal. The steak and the chips were perfectly cooked and the beer well kept. The service was attentive even though we were in a corner of the garden. Made for a perfect Saturday afternoon.

We have been coming to the Sun Inn for a long time...We live local, so have a choice of all Island pubs...We would not choose anywhere else...Kate & Dave are wonderful people, who run an excellent pub...Nothing is ever too much trouble, we are always made very welcome and theservice is above & beyond...I have a dairy allergy, therefore am vegan...The choice of foods that I can eat is very limited, yet in the Sun Inn, it has neverbeen a problem...and I am always amazed at the choice of foods available tome...even coffee with cream is not a problem, nor is ice cream...but, no matter what they do, some people will never be satisfied...We thoroughly recommend this pub...

It was a disaster from the start we booked a table for 8pm and on arrival where told there had been issues with tables could we sit outside. We were ushered to a gazebo area which had plastic chairs and benches to wait for our table. We were then seated in the restaurant where the tables were so close together there was 0 social distancing. We mentioned this to the land lord and he simply said what would you like me to do. Our first round of drinks where wrong. We ordered our food and 15 minutes later where told one of the dishes ordered wasn't available. The food came and a meal was missing and where told there would be an 8 minute wait even though the whole table had already received their food. There were very obnoxious locals in the pub who tried to start a shouting match with our table as we commented their daughter was playing videos very loudly on her phone. We asked for the manager and he again asked..what would you like me to do about it and walked off with no apology. Another waiter arrived and apologised. We had the late burger removed from the bill but no other gesture of apology. The pub itself is run down with dirty carpets and toilets that haven't been refurbished for what seems years. 100% do not visit

This pub needs to be updated, it needs to be decorated inside, certain areas on the walls where signs obviously were need to be painted & the carpet needs to be cleaned.the food is ok, no starters available, I had roast pork & my husband had the ploughman’s, only 3 puddings available, apple pie, plum crumble or lumpy bumpy (which one waitress said was like a tiramisu & the other said was a chocolate mousse).

Called in here and had a lovely meal the staff were friendly and the food well cooked and freshly prepared. Will visit again

Ordered a takeaway from this establishment while on holiday on the island. Excellent range of food available, especially the excellent vegetarian choices. Ordering and collection was very easy. Ordered over the phone and collected about 20 minutes later, all in the car park/beer garden. Food was of an amazing standard and the portions was large. Would highly recommend ordering from here.

Excellent staff Excellent service Excellent food Thanks for a fantastic meal would recommend this pub and eatery food is great and a good menu

my family and i are locals who live in a village near-by and during the lockdown have ordered many takeaways from The Sun Inn and not only were we not disappointed we were astounded by how good the food was!! I had the calbourne burger and it was delicious and my family tried the steak and ale pie with mash and now say it is the best pie they’ve ever had in their life (76 years to be precise!). Also the best chips i’ve ever tasted! Not only is the food good but the service is outstanding, they are all so kind and characterful that seeing them is thought of to us as part of the experience! and their kindness is what drew us into the place! we will carry on supporting this pub for the rest of its existence. Thank you all - from the Springwood family

Just had a meal at The Sun which is always great and good value. We always look forward to going back as it's a great family and dog friendly pub to have a relaxed meal in. The menu is also perfect for the whole family, which never happens wherever else we go.

Not a good experience. Booked for Sunday lunch with our elderly father as a treat. The first thing we noticed was an extremely dirty carpet. We chose the veggie roast dinner. The food was lukewarm. Large undercooked roast potatoes Soggy tasteless nut roast and a gravy boat filled with bright orange thick purée which was supposed to be gravy. The customer toilets require a total refurb. I checked on the latest food hygiene result and it was a 2 ( poor requiring improvement ) It was our first time at this pub and definitely our last.

A great place to visit,good selection of meals.Owners so friendly & keen to please, service & attention great.Well worth the 25 mile round trip,we will be visiting again

Absolutely fabulous Pre Xmas meal last night. Everything was fantastic. The roast potatoes were to die for - best I've had in ages. The whole experience was lovely. Oh and mustn't forget the Apple and mincemeat crumble with custard- yummy!! Anyone thinking of going for a meal will not go wrong by going to the Sun at Calbourne. Consistently good food and great hosts in Kate and David.

We recently moved to the area and ate for a week in this establishment. We cannot fault anything from the service to the friendly staff. There is a wide range of food available and all extremely fresh from a good old roast, to a steak or ploughman’s with freshly baked ham. “Great choice and selection”. Thank you for looking after us and we will definitely be back x

Although I don’t live on the IOW I’ve been here 4/5 times now for food and drinks and I can honestly say the food and service is amazing! I’m coeliac and they had so many gluten free options! Although I admit I have gone for a huge burger and onion rings every time! Yes GF onion rings! Ellie and Dave have been my servers and are more than happy to help, they often have a little chat too which makes me feel so welcome. Such a welcoming and a proper pup atmosphere with friendly locals but also visitors from out of town!

My partner and I have eaten a few times at The Sun. Usually it's been pleasant but this time it has called an end to eating there again. Firstly the place itself was cold. I spent the whole meal wearing my coat, as did the other customers on the table next to us. The gluten free menu was a crumpled piece of A4. At least laminate it! Both my partner and I had the gluten free roast because they'd run out of cod. What arrived didn't look overly appealing. The two roast potatoes were clearly heat ups from the previous day or whenever. The veg, served separately, wasn't cold but certainly wasn't hot. The parsnip seemed older than me and was chewy, and the cauliflower had black on it. The veg arrived in a dish which to my amazement was for two people. The hottest part of the meal was the gravy boat. Having worked in the catering industry myself for 15 years, this attempt at a roast wasn't worth paying for. If you do want a nice roast go to 'The End of the Line' at Freshwater, which was our first choice, but for convenience we went to The Sun.

Just had the most amazing roast in here. Freshly cooked and tasted fantastic. My partner had homemade cottage pie which he said was brilliant too. Would highly recommend to anyone!! Simply fantastic service too and very friendly and helpful staff. Thanks

We stopped by for coffee and sandwiches while passing through. I don't usually leave reviews but we were so impressed with how friendly the staff were, we had an appointment to get to and they made sure we were served in super fast time. We were extremely impressed with the varied menu options for vegan & vegetarians, with additional veggie versions of the kids meals. Apparently they cater for gluten free too and they even have a dog menu! Really seem to look after their customers and food & coffee was lovely. Would love to return for sunday lunch one day.

Visited on the beer and buses- had planned our route round a visit here but now disappointed. Pies were decent. Gammon was only just acceptable. The bar people were not happy nor friendly which is sad on such a busy and exciting day for local businesses.

Whilst staying with my niece on the IOW she took me for a Sunday Lunch at the Sun Inn aoft Calbourne on the Corner of Elm Lane and The Newport to Freshwater Road. On getting there I found that she had already contacted the restaurant to reserve a table, and as we entered and she gave her name, the waiter showed us to a nice table that overlooked part of the old hamlet it was located in.

We went to this location this evening for a family evening and the service was first class the staff were excellent,and the food was absolutely wonderful and the best meal on the island so far . The staff could not have been more helpful ,friendly and will always revisit when next on the island

First impressions are not the best, the place is a little tired and has plastic table covers. However the food is good and reasonably priced. There is a good menu and additional specials board. The staff are nice and friendly. Well worth a visit

This a dog friendly pub with a dog menu as well. The landlord, his wife and serving staff are extremely friendly. It is a pub used by local residents and tourists. We visited twice, on the first occasion I had a very nice roast beef dinner with fresh veg and my husband had a locally reared rump steak, which was really tender and I had a taste and the flavour was delicious. The food is home comfort food and well cooked, would definitely recommend but you do need to book at weekends as it is very busy. We will definitely return on future holidays.

The pub is in an excellent location and has potential to be a great place , however first impressions are not great, the garden is tired and unkempt, the pub itself again is in need of a renovation or at the very least a good clean.Staff were friendly and helpful , I ordered the roast beef and my husband had the cottage pie, the food arrived with a rather dubious pot of florescent green leek bake, in all my years of cooking I have never achieved quite such a lurid colour with a leek bake! The food overall was cooked okay but lacked seasoning , the cottage pie was just mince and peas mixed with gravy and slightly lumpy mash on top. I'm not sure the chef put an awful lot of effort in to making the food flavoursome, I had Blackforest gateaux for pudding, a basic shop bought pudding that tasted okay.

We LOVE this place. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and most importantly, they cater for our very annoying culinary needs: 1 meat eater but gluten free and with other allergies, 2 veggies, one with GF needs and one who really doesn't mind what he eats.

Came over to the island for a few days last minute, previously ate at the Sun Inn twice in our visit in May. We returned and were not disappointed.

Good quality & quantity evening meal with the family. A good selection of dishes to suit all of our varied tastes!

Were'r local and like the personal toouch. Dog loves it as well - had sausages and dog ice cream! Scampi was good along with the apple pie and cream.

We were on holiday on the I.O.W. last week and decided to celebrate our lovely week with meal at the Sun. Yes, of course with people recommending it we should have booked, but couldn't as we couldn't guarantee what time we'd be there? It was clear from the packed car park and the very busy pub that we would have a long wait. But we were quite taken aback by the brusk attitude of the landlord, saying that as we hadn't booked there was "no chance" of eating there that night! Whilst it was really busy, he actually lost many potential customers, I doubt if this trip advisor would ever be tempted to visit this pub/restaurant?

Delicious Sunday lunch with choice of different meat & puddings. Home cooked fresh food. Good size, reasonably priced. Popular with the over 60’s. Food allergies & intolerances catered. Vegetarian, Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere, parking. Accessible by wheelchairs & mobility impaired.

We live and were camping local, and fancied something homemade to eat. We decided to stop off, down the road from our campsite, at The Sun Inn in Calbourne. The food was being served until 20:30. Not only did we stumble in at 20:05, but they had to call the waiter back in, who was just finishing his shift (we did feel guilty but he seemed happy to stay). And they happily accommodated all 14 of us very well. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, however, David, who served us, was spot on. Great customer service, friendly and cheerful, and had great banter with us. The food was lovely, and we all left full and very happy. Thank you everyone....top marks, and see you again. From the Englands, Johnsons, Thackers and Jasmine x

Shame we had not reviewed before visiting anyhow cheeseburger arrived with no cheese, garlic bread was a warm baguette with butter spread over it. Restaurant had a funny dog smell which was quite off putting but worst of all was the gentleman who appeared from the kitchen went to the toilet at the same time as my husband and did not wash his hands afterwards- disgusting. I’m surprised none of us were ill!!

Not been in this pub for many years but popped in today as we were passing. Wow what a surprise..the food was absolutely delicious & there was a lovely friendly atmosphere.Nice to have found somewhere away from town too.We will certainly be returning there very soon.

We had a family meal here while visiting Isle of Wight and the food was absolutely lovely. I had the 6oz burger and chips with side order of onion rings. The chips were so nice and cooked properly. And the onion rings were the best I’ve ever had they were so nice. The burger was really nice as well. The kids menus are great and my boys enjoyed there meal. Price is very reasonable too. Would definitely go there again.

We had a lovely family meal . Everyone enjoyed what they ordered . Unfortunately we only discovered this gem at the end of our holiday . The staff were very friendly . Thank you

Great place, very friendly staff and great food. Our dog enjoyed the doggie ice cream after trying our beef :)

This was our first visit to The Sun Inn but certainly won't be our last. Both the food and service was excellent. The food was all homemade and we were made to feel really welcome. Well done!

Nice food very good selection on menus, friendly waiter Dave. Can't fault the place as far as food and drinks are concerned, looking forward to eating there again soon.

Went a couple of times during our stay on a nearby campsite. Food very good on both occasions and very reasonably priced, even without the 10% discount for campsite customers. Weekly guest beers (locally brewed I think) and jolly good house Shiraz wine. They also do a good coffee to finish off a meal to whatever is your desired strength. What more could you want when away relaxing on holiday?

We always book in for a meal as soon as our annual visit is arranged and always visit a number of times during our stay. Kate and David treat us like locals now and their hospitality is second to none. The food is always excellent and the atmosphere is one of a real village pub.

Had an amazing meal at The Sun whilst on holiday. Great range of vegetarian and vegan food available. Lovely service and food. Would definitely call here again if back in the area.

We lunched at this lovely pub. It had half a dozen vegan options and pudding. I had a roast with the lovliest yorshires, hubby had curry. The vegan cheesecake pudding with cream or ice cream was the best I have ever tasted.

Really nice atmosphere, very friendly landlord and landlady. We had an excellent lunch and our dogs were looked after. We will be back

Popped in today en route to the needles.

We visited The Sun Inn every year when we visit the isle of wight. Its a lovely little pub, the staff are amazing, couldn't be more helpful. The food is really good and reasonably priced to. We will be visiting again this August 😊

Very friendly staff and landlord, the service was excellent, food was good, and we Would return. Thank you.

Visiting the Island for the weekend and stumbled upon this pub. A very friendly reception and could not do enough for me and the kids.Excellent menus and caters for all diets. All food was fresh, cooked perfectly and great value.

Went there for dinner on the first day of our holiday whilst staying at the camp site nearby.

We were looking around for a place to have Sunday roast and came across The Sun. Although it looked pretty busy the guy who greeted us managed to find us a table. We were served acceptably quick and the food was very good. We had the deal where the pudding was included and must say we really enjoyed it. All in all a very nice place to eat without being ripped off.

Went here last week with my wife, daughter and dog and were all made to feel very welcome. Great choice of vegan and vegetarian food and the dog was spoilt with her own menu and meal. Service from staff was excellent and very friendly. Other tables at the pub were also complimenting the staff on the food whilst we were there. Will definitely be on our must visit list from now on for our annual pilgrimage to the island.

Familienfreundliches Pub mit guter Küche und einigen lokales Ale vom Fass und Guinness. Der vordere Raum ist eher Restaurant, nach hinten gibts dann die Theke. Sehr freundlicher Service!

Just had a lovey meal at this great little pub. Amazing vegan choices - very pleased with the vegan nut roast and the dessert cheesecake. The most options we have found at a pub here! Very friendly staff, Dave was a gem! Amazing for dogs too - a little menu for them as well as blankets for them to keep comfy, loved all the little touches.

Just had a great meal in the garden. There was five of us and we chose a wide variety of meals, which were all very good. Will definitely be going back again when we next visit the Island.
