The Sun Inn in Herefordshire, County of

Excellent food great pint of larger service second to none

Great food, lovely atmosphere at a very reasonable price.

1st visited The Sun Inn on a visit to Winforton Herefordshire in 2021, and loved it so much that we made sure we visited again during our stay this year. Great food and welcoming hospitality. Photo attached to this review is same as I used in 2021, but quality of food just the same. Cannot fail to recommend. Next time we are in the area, will 100% visit again.

This is an excellent B&B. Spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed and a contemporary bathroom with a walk in shower. Owners welcoming. A good breakfast with lots of choice. Happy to stay there again.

Great place used as a stop whilst cycling to wales. Owners were friendly and welcoming as well as accommodating. Enjoyed the food and breakfast. Rooms looked new and everything was clean and tidy. Wouldn’t expect anymore would definitely go back and stay.

We visited for a drink in the bar, my dog came too! Very friendly staff and customers.

Just got here. Perfect little pub. Nice and quiet. Room is clean and comfy.

Great pub. Locals are really nice and they sell Butty Bach

Had a lovely meal meal here. Great pub grub, can’t fault it at all. The owners were very friendly and the service was great. Highly recommend.

If you value your money you would not eat here . 2x Fish and Chips .. inedible -batter soggy chips inedible been cooked in dirty grease from the fryer which never been changed. 2x Burgers with frozen burger bun inedible again with 4 drinks £76. Pub stinks, toilets seen better days with no soap whatsoever. So whoever says The Sun Inn is tasty is talking nonsense

Stayed here after a day canoeing on the Wye. Really nice place, very clean, great breakfast. Short taxi ride from Hay-on-wye. Would recommend.

Exceptional value for money. Room large and spotless. Owners extremely hard-working but still very personable and friendly.

Stayed here overnight on way home from a visit to Hereford. Fairly good choice of breakfast cereals and fruit juice. Good cooked breakfast. Very pleasant hosts. Good size room, but no flannel or shower cap provided…take your own. Quiet location.

Whilst staying elsewhere locally, we happened to discover this little gem of a pub.The food was tasty and reasonably priced with a good selection of drinks. A friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the highlight being the lovely, warm and hospitable hosts. If in the area we would definitely pop back for a meal or even stay in the accomodation above the pub. We highly recommend

Booked as a overnight stay while visiting the Hay festival, friendly owners very attentive and very helpful. The room vas fantastic, bright and airy with a great bathroom and shower. The bed was really comfortable it was the best nights sleep I’ve had in ages. We had food on the Saturday night, the burger was so good, And with some well kept ales that didn’t disappoint Breakfast didn’t disappoint, full breakfast cooked well and plenty of it. Food was excellent value. We will be back soon !!

We called in for a drink here. Lovely atmosphere and traditional pub. However, we ordered some desserts and they were pretty awful. Base of chocolate brownies were cremated, you could smell it. When mentioned to landlady she barely acknowledged and certainly no apology. Lager very flat too. A shame as other than that lovely atmosphere but money down the drain on the food.

Such a wonderful place. The hosts are extremely warm and welcoming. The rooms are lovely and have the comfiest beds I've ever slept in. Food is top knotch. Will definitely stay again

Lovely idyllic setting and very helpful and nice owners

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely little pub. Its in a nice village and ideal to explore. The owners are lovely and nothing is too much trouble and they go the extra mile to help. The rooms are light and very clean with a really lovely modern ensuite. Would definitely go back if I'm in the area.

Good beer, reliable and tasty food, great atmosphere.

Absolutely disgusting the food was full of oil the chips were the days before and fryed again, and who frys ciabatta bread for steaks sandwiches, discusting swimming in oil felt sick never go again,

A lovely stay at the Sun Inn. A nice traditional country pub with a relaxed atmosphere. The pub is cosy and relaxed, and the accommodation, very spacious, modern and clean. The hosts are very friendly and accomodating and the food - both breakfast in the morning and the lovely evening meal we had - was excellent. A great base to explore the nearby hills and lovely villages like Hay on Wye. Highly recommended.

We were on our way to Hay on Wye with some friends , they spotted the Sun Inn we all agreed it looked inviting and pulled into the very empty car park . On entering the landlady came out greeted us and one of our party asked if they served sandwiches ? The landlady was not very clear to begin with and provided a menu , while being somewhat lackadaisical with her explanation and general engagement . In the end I asked her outright if the option of sandwiches were available for our party of 4 . She eventually put us out of our misery and politely informed us that sandwiches were not an option and at no time did she enquire if there was anything else on the menu that could tempt us or if we would at least like any drinks . One of party did ask to use the bathroom which was permitted , we thanked her and left . What we could not understand was we are all hearing of pubs etc struggling to attract customers during these unprecedented times yet she did not seem fazed so the only logical conclusion that can be drawn from our experience is that they are obviously doing exceptionally well and do not require regular custom or income which was a great shame as we did like the look of venue hence deciding to give it a try . Ending on a positive , the raspberries in the car park were very large and ripe so we had a nibble on a few of these while continuing our journey .

Went there twice whilst staying in the area . Both times had Tempura Prawns for starters (yum). Hubby had a burger which was excellent with great chips and I had fish and chips the first time - all really fresh and batter light and yummy . Second time hubby had chilli which was also excellent and I had veggie burger. Buttie Bach beer was superb. Friendly and efficient staff and covid safe with well distanced tables and hand sanitiser. Definitely a cut above pub grub.

Stayed on 12.09.20 on route to visit family. Friendly host , immaculate rooms, looked and smelt freshly decorated. Plenty of tea/coffee & kettle. Big immaculate bathroom with shower. Highly recommend. Would def use again

Food and drink was first rate and the proprietors were very friendly, knowledgeable and good for a chat

The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was lovely, especially the Philly Cheese steak ciabatta. They also did excellent gluten free fish and chips.

Needed an overnight stay whilst visiting the area, looking for houses. Struggled to find anything. Stumbled on the sun Inn. Fantastic. Great reception, beautiful rooms, comfy bed. Really great meal, well priced and truly endearing chat with our hosts about the area. Really enjoyed it. Nice Cv19 continental in the morning.

Delicious lunch on our way past to Wales. So clean and friendly and can highly recommend it!

My husband & I stopped here on the way to the Brecon Beacons this weekend and had a really tasty lunch. We both had the Philly Steak Ciabatta with chips with a Robisons Cider and a glass of wine, all of which were exceptional. The weather was amazing and we sat in the spacious beer garden with table service. We would definately recommend The Sun Inn if you are enroute to South Wales. I assume we were served by the landlady who was very nice and explained they had only just reopened and had all the social distancing requirements in place. Pay them a visit you wont be disappointed. We will definately return when back in the area.

Friendly Social distancing goof fully recommended

Stumbled across this gem today, for lunch, step dad and I had the Sun Inn burger, which was outstanding, tasty, homemade burger, with chips that needed no augmentation with salt or vinegar, hubby had the gammon and egg, all three plates empty and three full belly’s, what more could you wish for, definitely be calling in again.

Stayed over while house hunting in area. Lovely welcome from hosts evening meal was filling and well cooked / presented. Menu was typical of pub grub so suits us perfectly. Room was exceptionally clean and plenty of room with good facilities all at sensible price. Plenty of breakfast and very tasty.Wlll be using venue again when next in area for second viewings hopefully will become our local.

Dire food, no atmosphere and I wouldn't recommend a revisit. That said, the staff are friendly and polite.

Dropped in here for food as staying nearby. Typical pub grub and reasonably priced . Loved it.

Run by the friendliest couple you will ever meet! Lovely rooms comfy beds and a fantastic modern bathroom!

Friendly welcoming staff. Food very good, breakfast first class. Immaculate, comfortable room and spotless too. Would highly recommend!

Very clean, comfortable, spacious room. Good attention to detail eg. Hospitality tea, coffee, biscuits, water etc Very friendly owners, helpful and accommodating. Pleasant bar atmosphere and good drinks selection. Delicious breakfast. Free WiFi. Would recommend and visit again

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good food and pretty good drink selection too.

I came across the Sun Inn purely by chance this week and decided to have a lunchtime meal there - what a revelation! The food is locally sourced and everything is made in house, and it shows. The food is just incredible and surprisingly reasonable - the lunchtime special offer for two courses is only £8! The ambience is quiet and redolent of history (host and all-round spiffing guy Tony says that parts of the building date back to the 1600s), so it's the perfect place to relax and let your tastebuds in for a real treat. In these days of overpriced corporate food that tastes of nothing in particular, the food here shows you how real food can be. I'm already trying to think up an excuse to go back! Absolutely brilliant!

I can't really comment on the pub itself but we went to a lovely little open air festival in the pub garden which was superb.

Just returned from great Sunday roast, staying just down the road, we booked a table for 6. We had a friendly welcome and shown to our table, ordered beef, chicken and lamb Sunday roast even managed at short notice a sausage and chips for the little one, all were lovely, hot and filling, would highly recommend. Pudding were a treat also. Great little kids corner with games that kept our 4 year more than happy. Would recommend this village pub to anyone.

Booked because this small hotel/inn was close to a wedding we were going to. Hosts were very friendly. Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was outstanding. Good value. Highly recommend. Big car park. Lovely pub.

Stayed for one night in a very comfortable room. Very nice evening meal well priced or the quality, very good English breakfast. Tony and Wendy are excellent hosts very friendly and helpful all in all a very enjoyable stay and excellent value.

Stayed here last night as we were attending a wedding nearby.Although the check in time is 3pm, when I called to explain that we were travelling 3 and a half hours to attend a wedding and would really like to freshen up and get wedding ready , they were happy for us to have the room from 12. We were made to feel really welcome. We returned to the Inn after the wedding to enjoy a drink at the bar and a nice chat too. Left this morning after a large cooked breakfast.Would recommend and hope to return, the room was good but didn't get to sample the meals.

Had a great stay, quiet and comfortable ,perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Our meal was awesome and a tap selection that makes you want to try every one. I wish we were in the area more often as it seems to be just the right distance from all the nearby places of interest. I noticed they often run special events and menus as well.. a fun place to hang out.

A great stop for a friendly service and good food

Finally got the chance to visit this pub last week when we were that end of the county.What a nice surprise. Good quality food at fair prices served by nice people and although we live 25 miles away at the other end of Herefordshire,we will definitely return.It was a bit noisy owing to the large number of people in there but this is only a minor critcism. Could not fault the menu choices and and our order came pretty swiftly considering it was a busy night.It is worth travelling the distance.

Enjoyed our stay. Tony & Wendy were excellent hosts. Our room faced the front and had recently been renovated to a very good standard including the well appointed en suite shower room.

A very very very nice meal , starters was garlic mushrooms , very very tasty , as was the beef dinner , and my wife's spinach and three cheeses parcel , and the spiced bread and butter pud was awesome !!!!!! Seems a lot of very' s , but a superb well cooked tasty dinner , compliments to the chef , will definitely go again , also live band and festival here on the Saturday , 3 August ; sounds great fun , great atmosphere last year apparently , will turn up , sounds a ball !!!!!!

Lovely pub with great choice of beers and clean modern bedrooms.

Great brie starter and an interesting ht and cold veggie salad main. "Pavlova" made with bought meringue nests.

Stayed here one night whilst visiting the Hay Festival. The room was spotlessly clean, staff really friendly and the breakfast was lovely. Will definitely return.

We visited this pub from the Dine app after reserving a table by phone. The landlord was very polite friendly and a pleasure to talk to. The menu had a generous choice of food available. We had the chicken fricasee and Sun Inn burger. The food was served after a modest wait and was piping hot. Both meals were excellent. I would recommend this pub to anyone, as you can be assured of a warm and friendly welcome. Cracking pub!

A small village, a small pub where everyone knows everyone else.Friendly landlords who have recently taken over. Good food menu with efficient service and good choice of wines. Che k the bathrooms, they are original but promised to be modernised soon!

Driving through Winforton last Sunday thought we would stop for lunch. Pretty disappointed gravy tasted fatty, had heart of cabbage too tough to eat. Yorkshire pudding frozen could not even cut and roasties previously frozen, very small portion and we are both tiny won't bother again

Great local pub. Good food and friendly owners

Fab new cook real homemade taste

Something very wrong with this pub. Supposed to be fully open after the winter months. Just a scruffy sign on the door stating staff problems.

Took a one off stop at the Sun Inn in Winforton and had a very nice surprise.

A meal in a a cosy friendly atmosphere.

I would love to visit this Inn as I regularly pass by at lunch times and in the past have had some lovely meals, it now has new owners I think and I have yet to find it open. Luckily there are good places to eat in Whitney and Eardisley that are very close.

Excellent food, clean and comfortable rooms, nice owners very helpful, enjoyed my stay here, would recommend to anyone

We had drinks and a meal here with extended family. The land lord and lady were very welcoming as were the regulars. Atmosphere relaxed. Lovely log burner. Good pub grub (maybe the wine selection could be better).

Fabulous pub. Really warm welcome from Wendy and Tony. Nice and warm, lovely food (especially the homemade garlic bread and chips) and really nice atmosphere. Try it, you certainly won't be disappointed.

Excellent pub! Always a warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. Good food and choice of beverages. Don’t procrastinate - try it for yourself...

We phoned ahead as we wanted to bring our Westie dog with us for lunch, which the owner told us would be no problem. We were very warmly greeted when we arrived, and ordered drinks and took menus.

We booked a table of 11 and were pleased to find ourselves positioned next to the large wood burner.

Stayed in hundreds of hotels and b&b; in uk and around the world and this is up there with one of the best ! Stayed here for 5 nights and was perfect! Its home from home and rooms are fantastic! Pub food is lovely and would be here most nights if i was a local ! Brilliant 11/10

When feeling a little thirsty and the need to have some eats it is a treat to come across The Sun. Not only a warm welcome but some good beers and interesting menu available. We will return one day with the intent to stay over in one of their rooms.

Well made pub food, good sized portions. We had the mixed grill (it is evident that they use good quality meat) and fish and chips ( I was given the choice of cod, hake or haddock). Staff and locals are very friendly and the pub has a nice atmosphere. Beer and cider are kept well and I can recommend the Robinsons Cider. Mr Robinson really n

Received a warm welcome and made to feel at ease in this friendly pub. Food was fresh, hot and tasty, and the wine was a bonus. Well worth a visit.

Large family group staying locally. Booked for 17 with only a couple of hours notice. More than happy to accommodate us and when we arrived with multiple orders nothing was too much trouble. Food for all out in less than 30 mins and without exception tasty and well presented. All of us foodies so often critical but this was spot on.

Nice Sunday roast at reasonable price. Good real ales and friendly welcome.

Exelant food with very polite service, great atmosphere lots of parking, highly recommended, will visit again.

A beautiful old pub with some friendly staff. The food was amazing and I recommend it to any one

We were staying at a nearby B&B; and the owner recommended the Sun Inn for dinner. Really warm welcome, great beer and lovely food. In fact we were so impressed we brought back 4 colleagues the next night for dinner again. Will definitely be going back next time in the area.

Went hear for dinner on a Friday evening. Pleasant staff, some thoughtful toys for kids however the food was pretty terrible. We ate without complaint as we had just come off a 5 hour drive and were hungry. We had a chicken breast and gammon steak meal, chicken was incredibly dry and the rest wasn't much better.

Lovely food, staff and atmosphere. Had lunch there,very friendly staff, delicious food and well worth a visit.

Really tasty, freshly-cooked, home-made food. Yum!

Great friendly staff , made to feel very welcome, ordered a burger and two fish and chips very nice and hot, service top notch thank you very much well worth a visit

Have stayed in Winforton for the last week on a family holiday. Would highly recommend The Sun Inn. The food is fantastic and the owners are really friendly. Would definitely recommend the fish and chip night, chips are wonderful. Also try the beef burger, definitely 10 out of 10.

Very good value for money and excellent quality food. All the staff were friendly and attentive and our dog had a special treat of crackling and pork which she slept it off in the garden in the sun while we finished our lunch.

From beginning to end the experience of the star in was superb. Meals were larger than expected and the service was superb. We would definitely go again.

Good food nice surroundings good service

We called in on our return from the Hay Festival. We were looking for a meal but as it was 9.00pm we were not too optimistic. The Landlord explained that they normally stop serving at that time but he would check if the chef was still there. He was, and he stayed on to cook us the meals of our choice. The food was excellent and we were made to feel very welcome. Will definitely call in again if we are in the area. The rating selection is not allowing me to select but I would select service and food as excellent and value for money as good.

We have been visiting The Sun Inn for the last five years. It's where we dine the night we arrive for the Hay Festival. We have always been pleased with food and service. The pub/ restaurant has changed hands since we were last there and now serves what is called pub food. It is very good, though, our meals were hot and substantial and very well-cooked and prepared. Three people had fish and chips. There was a choice of cod, haddock and hake and I think one other fish. Two people in our party had haddock and one had cod. I had lasagne, which was served with garlic bread and salad. The lasagne was just right; so often the pasta is soggy or not quite cooked.

A lovely village pub, home cooked food , freshly cooked to order. Had lovely soup with flower pot bread ....fish and chips

Poor service, disorganised, shoddy and cold. Made Faulty Towers look like the Hilton. Took two and a half hours to get a starter and a main course. Took so long the guy in charge obviously thought we had finished and asked if we would like to see a desert menu and we hadn't even had our main. Waited 10 mins at the bar for a drink. Starters were pretty shocking too. Bread with the bread and olives had obviously been warmed in the microwave and then left standing somewhere as is was like a rock. Soup was tasteless. All in all a pretty appalling and charged £74.00 for the experience. Don't waste your money here. Travel up the road and go to the Boat Inn in Whitney.

We have visited before for Sunday lunch where the service was friendly and good was lovely. Sadly, not today. We put our order in for three starters and four mains at 19:20 and we ended up leaving the establishment at 21: 30.

We stopped en route to the Brecons. The lunch, the beer and the welcome were lovely. The menu was good with simple food, which arrived quite quickly and was delicious. The salad - which is where so many places fail, was excellent - freah and very tasty and well presented.

Absolutely stunning food, called in as passing. Warm welcome & spotlessly clean

Went there for lunch about four weeks ago. Food not good mould on salad service not brilliant was there before another couple but they got served first waited an hour for are meal used to go there a lot but no more

Great food beer and very welcoming.

My wife and I called at this lovely pub on Good Friday for a light lunch, the landlord was very welcoming. The drink was fab as they had Robinsons my favourite cider. We only wanted a light lunch my wife had a goat's cheese salad and I had the soup of the say, both were lovely. We will be returning in the very near future for dinner.

I took my dad and a friend for lunch to celebrate a birthday. We had fantastic home made food sitting by the log fire with a great atmosphere. The new landlord and lady are lovely and very helpful. We will be back soon. Thank you...

Situated on the main road from the east to Hay on Wye and Brecon. The bar/restaurant has character. The menu is not extensive, but should meet most people’s taste. There are also a couple of daily specials - the fish and chips looked good! The...

Excellent food friendly pub and very reasonably priced.
