The Sun Inn - Bar and Kitchen in Kirklees - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It's the first time we have tried this pub. The reviews for Sunday lunch were superb. We booked Sunday lunch for 14:15, a few people in but not too busy. Our starters were extremely good and hot. The main course, I had roast beef and my wife turkey. Two main issues, the food was luke warm at best and the Yorkshire pudding was so large it took over the plate. I only saw one person eat it all, what a waste of food. It shouldn't only be about the quantity of food. It doesn't make business sense. Half the size of the Yorkshire pudding would be sufficient for most people.

Decent pub. Stopped here on the way home from Yorkshire Sculpture Park for a bite to eat. Good selection of beer, tasty food and a lovely beer garden.

What a lovely pub. Great food and lovely staff. Nice decked area outside but under cover. Service was quick and good choice of drinks. Prices fair.

Went for dinner and had a corner table facing the wall. Overpowering smell of bleach as we walked in. Penang curry very watery and very average. Chicken salad covered in unnecessary oil. Service ok but difficult to get a second drink.

Lovely pub and perfectly situated. Just wish they had a decent ipa.

Really enjoyed Sunday lunch here with family. Food good, service even better 😋

The food was very delicious took a while to arrived but tasted fresh great prices

Lovely place! Dog friendly! They even have treats on the bar! The guy who served us was lovely and offered to take stuff outside for us. Will definitely be popping in for a drink in the sun more often.

Food was nice, but the hanging kebabs were really salty. The young lad serving us did really well, his 5th night in the job. A little bit too eager, asking us if we had finished while we were clearly still eating and then asking us if we wanted the bill whilst clearing our plates. Overall really nice, the garden area is beautiful. Hopefully we will be back when the weather warms up for an afternoon in the beer garden.

Great food. Excellent service. Surroundings are beautiful. Staff brilliant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Called for a drink. Nice cosy pub.

An excellent Sunday Lunch today. Fantastic service, our waitress even remembered I was gluten free when it came to dessert. Delicious food and the largest Yorkshire Puddings we’ve ever seen!

A fantastic dog friendly pub. I had the lasagne and it was perfect for me, the staff were fantastic. Next time I'm in the area will definitely go back

Had Sunday lunch here today ..fantastic yp’s lovely gravy.. veg cooked well not mushy !!…beef crucified !!..service excellent..yes I would go again just wouldn’t order beef

Very good steak served just as I like it with proper chips hot wings for starters were very tasty too ..we will be returning

Lovely pub, nice friendly atmosphere. Had the Sunday lunch 2 course £20 which was good value. The food was good, thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely return 👍

Just been for lunch here, had to be sent back twice, we ordered the festive skewers. As soon as the food came out I could see that the turkey was not just pink but completely raw. The table staff were very apologetic and took the food away not one but twice to be cooked further. We were charged and paid full price for a terrible meal and experience. Be warned before trying here, we could have been very ill from eating raw turkey, basic food hygiene/knowledge.

Nice place. Good food and reasonable beer. This a friendly pub with a good atmosphere. Well worth stopping if you are passing

I’ve eaten here a few times now and the food is always delicious. A lovely little gastro pub with a few cask ales on the bar, warm and friendly atmosphere open fires and a lovely setting. Quite pricey I feel £84 for Sunday dinner for 3 with starters and 4 cokes. I will go again though soon.

Beautiful home cooked food! Highly recommend. Try it for yourselves

Great place for a quick bite to eat and a pint. It's a small bar and can be quite slow at serving because of this. A couple of times I have witnessed a staff member serve a friend before the next person in the que

The first time we've been. Food was lovely. Service brilliant young lad was really friendly and spot on couldn't fault him. Bar staff we also very friendly. Nice atmosphere, lovely pub would go back. Well done to all

Our car broke down in their car park, the staff were very kind to us. We also had some food there while waiting for the mechanic. The food was great. I really enjoyed sitting outdoor.

The time we went it was very quiet no one in so can't say much

Great place to hang out with friends, delicious food

A quiet countryside pub with gentle music in the background. 💺 Seats are both indoors and outdoors with large parasols when the 🌞 sun is prominent. The architecture suggests it is an old pub and adds to the character of the village. Wheelchair users might find mobility a bit hampered here. It is well maintained, clean and welcoming. The toilets 🚻 too are clean. The bar is stocked with a variety of alcoholic drink 🍸 and other beverages. I spotted several shades of Kraken and Dead Man's Fingers as well as Appletiser, Old Mout to mention but a few. And a coffee ☕. Do order chicken 🐔 wings. Not spicy or chilli but nicely seasoned and enjoyable. Great for couples, a family or small groups. Recommended!

Great friendly place to eat &/or have a pint.

Nice cosy places. Lovely decking and beer garden area. Kids play area too.

Excellent venue great food views outstanding

A lovely country pub with great food.

An absolute gem. We just stopped by on our way to our hotel and we were absolutely amazed by atmosphere and food quality. Steak and kidney pie to die for!!!

Enjoyed a good pint of Taylors golden best and steak and ale pie. What can be better for a Saturday lunch..

Lovely pub in the middle of the countryside, great views and good food 👍

Good spot! will be nice in the summer! The woman behind the bar was funny and cheerful.

A bit overpriced and the pies were very odd. A sort of congealed substance inside rather than the actual meat content that was expected

Great bar friendly staff Will call again keep up the good work cheers 🍻

It was very busy and we came in by the off chance there would be a table for 2 (luckily there was)- The best Sunday dinner we have had!

Absolutely superb Sunday roast .... lovely ambience...friendly efficient staff...a little gem.

Absolutely amazing food. Staff are very welcoming and great atmosphere

Great little pub the Sun at Flockton. Fantastic food, a little cramped inside the bar area but apparently a refurb is in the pipeline. Great to sit outside in summer with a tipple of your choice. New owners are lovely people, and is one to definitely recommend. The best Sunday lunch around, bar none.

Lovely place nice bar staff was passing through ejoyed my lime and lemon drink

Went for Sunday lunch and the choice was great with the biggest Yorkshire pudding I think I've ever seen. The vegetables were all fresh and very tasty. The pub itself is very warm and welcoming. The staff are very friendly. I would recommend you book in advance as it was very busy at lunchtime.

The only pub I recommend people use for Sunday lunch. Menu has developed a little more but you cant beat their roast dinners - Superb! Good range of ales, lagers etc plus large garden area. My advice? Don't think about going, get yourself there!

Fantastic Sunday lunch, well worth a visit xx

Best Sunday lunch. Never disappoints

We only popped in for a drink but the place had a good atmosphere and the staff were friendly. Looking at the menu we will be back for a meal another evening.

Cracking Sunday Lunch As Always

Called in here today on the off chance we could get a table as I'd been told about the Sunday dinners.... Managed to get a table outside as all the tables inside was reserved - I now understand why.... Everything from the food down to the atmosphere of the pub was brilliant. Customer service was brilliant... Very polite and friendly. We had the trio meats dinner (beef, gammon and turkey) My mother in law had the beef - she isnt the easiest to please when it comes to Sunday dinners 😂 but we was all very impressed and will certainly be back. Thank you for a lovely experience...

Great pub and great food..never had a bad meal..keep it up...

Beautiful quaint pub in Beautiful surroundings

Awesome food, great pub, landlord, land lady n staff can't do enough for you. Nice little gem of a pub for beer m georgous food. One not to be missed

Tasty food and a very cool outdoor seating area, some of which is protected from the elements. There are also outdoor burners for when it gets cold. The chips are served with “chip spice” which is a paprika flavoured salt that I know only from my days in Hull. Very surprised when I found out because this is the only pub I’ve been to that has served it in about 15 years!

Lovely little pub with fantastic food and friendly staff. 5⭐

Very good pub nice people in pub

Great live music night, sat outdoors, with great crowd

We visited here for the first time last week. I have passed the place numerous times while working and the pub looks inviting, given its location and outlook over Emory Moor. We weren’t disappointed with anything the pub / restaurant had to offer. The food was beautiful and the service was welcoming and friendly. Given the superb weather we’ve had of late we hoped to sit outside and enjoy the views. Typically is was a cooler and breezy eve, but on a nice summer’s evening I imagine this place hard to beat for dining Al fresco. Although it’s situated on a main road, you can barely hear the traffic when sat at the rear of the pub which also boats a large undercover de king area along with the beer garden itself. Well worth a visit and we are sure to return.

Went for drinks and it was lovely in the beer garden

Nice quiet pub for a spot of lunch. Staff were helpful and the beer garden is pleasant to sit in and easy and drink.

Bit of a wait for food but was nice when it came.

Perfect summers day spent here last Saturday. Good quality and value, our new local and favourite place

Cracking pint of white Rat and food waa lovely. Will be back

Excellent food, very good service, pleasant and friendly, couldn't fault it at all

Fabulous food, 2nd to non. Friendly staff, lovely interior and countryside setting

Nice place with beer garden and lovely outlook around the back. Three hand pulled Timmy Taylor's on offer which was nice to see (Landlord, Bolt Maker & Knowle Spring). Couldn't try the beer today as I was driving but will return and report - ended having a coffee which to be honest wasn't the best (tasted like powdered milk) but I suppose we are spoilt for good coffee shops these days!

Food was amazing and reasonably priced. Good choice too. Staff so friendly. Def go back if not barred. Had a good birthday celebrations and even had complimentary drinks for the birthday girls.

Love this pub. Fab pub garden with lovely views. Food is excellent and reasonably priced.

Food not very nice Sunday lunch

I’ve driven past this for seven years and never been in before. Called in for lunch. Really surprised by the good menu choice and great food. Good choice of beers, food menu was good, staff excellent and the ambience was lovely too. Well worth a visit and I won’t be waiting another seven years to pop in!

Excellent food with friendly service

More pomp than good food with glass doors that need replacing.

Lovely environment - well presented highly tasty food. The lamb was somewhat lost in gravy though. May be best to have separate gravy boat. Sadly insuffcient time allocated at table for 3 course meal for our table of 7. We were shown the dessert menu and told that they needed the table in 5 minutes as the next party were waiting! An alternative was not offered though on one of the other empty tables as it could have been for the short time needed.

Excellent meal on Saturday lunchtime: Not visited previously but circumstances dictated we had to move from where we had booked (due to power failure) and The Sun was recommended. It didn't disappoint. Lovely friendly staff and food quality was super, hot and tasty! Can certainly recommend and we will return in future.

Small, cosy and friendly. Lovely place

Very nice food. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent service the (young lady had just started)

It's a lovely place the staff was all very friendly and the food was great. Went in with a load of others going to a football match we all had a great time. Thank you for your hospitality.

Amazing food and quality. Quick service

Had Saturday lunch yesterday and it was spot on. Lovely home cooked food with excellent service and warm, cosy surroundings. Perfect !

Very Poor service man with glasses behind bar was extremely rude and didn't show good customer service at all. Treated me and my family like a joke refusing to serve us because we had official O2 vouchers.

Expensive, tables only 2ft away from next table. Not good considering what's going on in the world right now. Food OK but nothing special. Ordered hanging chicken and chorizo kebab. Only 2 chunks chicken and 2 half pieces of chorizo mainly veg. Would not recommend.

The Sun Inn hosted lunch for our family group of 12 including 2 children today. We were able to pre order. Food was well cooked, served hot and was well presented by lovely staff. Nice atmosphere and warm environment, which was clean and covid secure. We will return for more visits. Thank you.

Excellent service as always, friendly staff. Meal wise beautiful assured d quaglity food good quality f

Great local pub. Always welcoming and a great atmosphere. Good food and beer 🍺

Delicious food at very reasonable prices. Very warm and inviting interior, with lovely waiting staff. You will not be disappointed with a visit here!

Great local pub, good food, good service and great atmosphere

Lovely place, friendly staff, food was ok, tasty, but very small portions, 13.95 for half chicken breast (kebab) and side salad( lettuce!) No thanks

Super miejsce z klimatem. Smaczne jedzenie i bardzo miła obsługa.

Popped in for a quick drink, Great service and friendly staff.

Amazing Food, Amazing Atmospher and Amazing place

Lovely staff. Nice pub. Food was nice but not worth the money we paid.

Friendly staff, very accommodating, good kids area. Vegetarian options not just one option!

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. We'd had a booking with them for a while for Monday 16th August 2021 for a party of 16 family members for a 70th birthday ..... absolutely DISGUSTING that they phone up late on the Sunday evening the night before, less than 24 hours before everyone was to arrive, to tell us that they hadn't checked their reservations so hadn't seen us booked in and they couldn't accommodate us now as the Landlord was going on holiday which would leave just one chef and a couple of members of staff to work at the pub - no proper apology, nor even a token gesture of a discounted meal at any point in the future for the fact that they were the ones letting us down. Definitely WON'T be using this establishment at any point in the future, nor recommending it for professional service for obvious reasons. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

We hadn't pre booked the owner was friendly and accommodating staff very friendly helpful was a limited menu maybe covid? But there was something for everyone thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the owner went above to accommodate us piccy pudding eaters and my dietary requirement will def be back for an adults only meal 🌟there was a wait for food but this is state don menu as it is all home cooked which u can tell and prices reflect this too 👍

Really nice food great atmosphere and friendly service 👍

Cosy friendly pub. Lovely straight forward food.

Cosy country pub with great garden

Went for Sunday lunch and got the trio of meats which was delicious !! My pikey girlfriend got the fishcakes with side salad and fries ! Very nice food in a clean well furnished pub inside and outdoor.

Nice place, food is good but not brilliant. Beef was what I would call well done (not even a hint of pink) and was a little dry. Luckily there was lots of the excellent gravy. They were very accommodating as some of our party wanted gravy on the side, which is not their usual way of doing things. I was also disappointed when we paid £3.50 for pigs in blankets as a side and only 5 small ones were served. That's a bit of a rip off in my opinion. The cauliflower cheese was also £3.50 but was a decent amount but a little flavourless, maybe needed to use a stronger cheese. Huge Yorkshire pudding (as you'd hope, in Yorkshire!) and the veg (carrots and boiled potatoes etc) were well cooked. The price for the meat/roasties/veg without sides was about right. Puddings were unremarkable and looked bought rather than home made which is standard I guess. Overall decent but not outstanding.

Excellent. Good service, lovely views from beer garden, decent music.

Lovely place for lunch, outside seating area under roof with amazing beautiful views. Food was fresh and very tasty, prices okay, and staff friendly and professional. Worth to recommend ! Xx

We had a nice relaxing drink in the beer garden with the dog and the waitress was lovely she kept her eye on us and the wait was very short. A lovely spot.
