The Sun Inn Romsey in Test Valley

EXCEPTIONAL! Started with a sunday roast. Perfect amd more than enough portions - to say the least. Went back the following evening for their 2-4-1 curry menu. What can we say but absolutely superb. Staff are friendly and the ambience is lovely. Thankyou

Amazing service, and lovely food.

Great pub, especially for live music. Highly recommended.

Lovely locals pub with great beer garden. Well advertised bands listed for both Friday and Saturday nights

Lovely pub with a great menu. I had the Chicken Gyros and was not disappointed, delicious and filling. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I love the decor and layout, best pub in Romsey.

We went out for a family meal, the best roast lamb I have tasted and the rest of the family enjoyed their meals, would highly recomend

Nice place, good food and well priced.

Amazing pub, lovely new garden, super polite staff, good beer, and I'm sure the food is great too

Amazing Breakfast, definitely recommend, good quality ingredients food lovely and hot,Ben and his staff are so friendly. 👌

Never had a bad meal there,Tried breakfast today omg amazing ! This reasurant always delivers !

i’m not sure where to start. this Pub is something of a gem in this small town the staff are beyond friendly and are the most amazingly funny happy people ever service is on point i’ve now eaten and drank here multiple times and been served with passion and happiness and seen a few menus changes with the seasons always with something new and exciting i love this restaurant as a restaurant and pub and will continue to frequent here and cannot wait for what the future holds to what i consider the best pub in Romsey. many of thanks to Ben, Sadie and their team

Visited for dinner with a few of my family, place is very sustainable clean and cheap. Service was reasonably fast and all members served us with a smile, could do with a menu change as it seem quite undated other then that it was okay. Thankyou

We stopped for a quick drink on our way home, and ended up staying for the rest of the evening! The Alabama Stills were playing - superb musicians with a great repertoire - and the atmosphere in the pub was brilliant. And we'll certainly be back to The Sun - great selection of beer, a fantastic menu, and regular live music - so glad we found you :-)

Excellent food and such friendly welcoming staff.

Overall a nice pub. Nice food, prices reasonable, beer garden. I have to try the breakfast they boldly claim the best in Romsey

Great Lunch, lovely staff. Passing through Romsey and came across this pub with loads of parking so stopped for lunch. Two ploughman’s with from the nicest server. Everything was so fresh it was great. Also has a really spacious outdoor area with ample seating and tables inc. comfortable chairs (I hate benches in pub gardens).

Fantastic Sunday roast dinner it was very late in the day when we arrived so not all options were available as we expected so we were in no way disappointed. Highly recommended🌞

I turned up and spoke to the very lovely landlord. I explained that the campsite down the road that I had booked was nowhere near a pub showing the England game. I asked if I could stay in the car park and he said ‘yes’. Can’t speak about the food etc but it was a gesture that I appreciated.

Food every time has been outstanding. Great pub overall.

I came here for lunch with a friend for his birthday, we both had the Asian Chicken Burger which was really tasty. Really lovely bar and waiting staff, couldn’t have done more for us. The pudding was the star of the show and absolutely divine!

Great food great atmosphere but shout out to barny went out his way to help with a smile on his face happy to be at work and is a credit to the pub well done mate

Been here a few times when visiting family, this was the first time we’ve had a Sunday roast here. It was the best we’ve had in a long time - plenty of meat, in fact generous portions all round, and served with a smile. Would thoroughly recommend, we will be back! Many thanks to you all.

Everything was great. Easy to book, staff so friendly, meals delicious, puddings delicious. I would highly recommend.

This was recommended as I was staying nearby. Went on a Wednesday night and very quite (only 6 people in pub). I just got in for food (stop cooking at 8:30pm), and had the lamb burgers with salad & chips. Really tasty and large plate of food. Would have liked a bigger pot of coleslaw! Lots of choice on menu. I then had the raspberry tart with ice cream for dessert and this was really disappointing. Service great, friendly staff.

What a turn around this pub has seen! We live locally to The Sun but after a previously rubbish experience, I'd avoided returning. We decided to give it another go after hearing such great things since the new management and being enticed by the live music on Friday! Now, by the time I left, I was pretty slaughtered but even Saturdays hangover wouldn't put me off returning. We had such a great night. The bar staff interact and have a good craic with you. The manager was present all night and his witty one liner humour is so refreshing. We didn't eat alot with the exception of some chips, as Gin took priority that night; My sister did return for breakfast on Sunday as being pregnant meant she wasn't still suffering a two day hangover like I was- she said it was 'banging' We cant wait to return and look forward to a Drag bingo night. I was lucky enough to catch a performance from Lucinda in the Londoner a couple of years back and she was outrageously funny! Well done to all involved in making The Sun, my new favourite pub in Romsey.

We’d been to the reserve at Fishlake Meadows and were looking for lunch after a long walk. The Sun Inn was amazing! There was a large variety of food from baguettes, jacket potatoes, a full menu as well as a specials board. We had the fish & chips (which comes as a small or large portion) and the chicken & chorizo lasagne which were both delicious. The lady who served us couldn’t have been more friendly to us and our dog!! We’ll definitely go back!

Fantastic find after visiting Paultons Park, only 10-15 min away. Service was great and food was delicious and cooked fresh, great size portions especially for the little ones.

To be fair the atmosphere was fine it was just a little empty but it was a Wednesday. Service was outstanding and they helped us 200 percent with any requests. We have booked a bingo night so defo be back. We had the wine and cheese offer which was great.

WOW what a great friendly welcome we had. We absolutely loved our experience the place was so clean and the toilets. The food Oh Yummy really nice couldn’t fault a thing and Ben and his team made you feel like you were more like family then just visitors I can’t wait to go again infact all four of us felt like that absolutely brilliant Love to you all Kathy Kay ❤️

Lovely place. Great management and staff.

Ben, Molly and all the staff are fabulous. Ben is hilarious. Very entertaining. Drag bingo is so good. Always a great night. But not for anyone who is easily offended 😂

Not a great experience!. I feel sorry for the young chap behind the bar who appeared to have to do everything . It’s not his fault but more is expected. The food itself was below what was expected with food coming out 15 minutes after the first dish. Each plate appeared to have no more than an extra small portion. Many others were complaining about the wait time , no staff to clear tables etc…. Overall, very poor.

Lovely evening with live music. Cannot comment on food as we did not est there.

Stopped by here for an impromptu lunch. Great service from friendly staff and nice food. Highly recommended if you are in the area. I tried one of their burgers and finished with cherry pie. My partner had hunters chicken and the crumble for desert.

Thank you Barny for being a fabulous waiter service. Was definitely a 5 star and will definitely be back . We enjoyed it thanks again .

Great place, amazing food, good price and staff were brilliant, efficient, friendly and always with a ready smile

Friendly service, a wide choice of food on the menu, a nice relaxed vibe in the restaurant and garden, and live music on Friday nights.

What a lovely place and staff we will have to visit again

Great atmosphere, food and beers, live music Fri nights

I hadn’t been here before, my parents have so they chose here for my sisters birthday lunch as they enjoyed it last summer. Lovely place with excellent customer service. Nice welcoming decor. Relaxed atmosphere. Food was delicious, reasonably priced for generous portions. Personal choices catered for and not a long wait. Nothing was too much for the staff. Kind, courteous and friendly. Will definitely return again.

We had the best dinner here on Valentine’s Day. Chicken burger was lovely Hunters chicken was so good And the kids had a hot dog and pasta. The staff are so lovely and so are the locals. Lovely chilled vibe. The pub itself is not too big so it’s lovely and intimate. Much better than some of the larger venues. Lovely outdoor area too. Defo visit!

We had a lovely, relaxed breakfast. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked. We will definitely be back!

Would like to say wine Wednesday is a good break up of the week ...excellent Malbec wine choice by hubby, cheeseboard good cheese vs biscuits ratio and a very nice lady added some extra pickle onions as wife ate them all ....Great service 👍👍👍👍

Popped in yesterday for a quick drink as we're staying near by but so impressed by the service we went back today for a smashing roast turkey dinner. Absolutely delicious and the table service from Molly was amazing!! Wow we wanted for nothing,we really were waited on hand and foot as we're all of further customers we saw. Warm,cozy,welcoming,spotlessly clean,not posh but DEFINATELY where we'd like to be stranded in a storm!! Thank you all of you for a couple of lovely afternoons,fab food,fab hospitality and a special Thank you to FAB MOLLY!!!! XX

We came down from Poole for the day . Had their offer on Monday which was two burgers for the price of 16.00 . We could add additional fillings and they were the tastiest burgers we’ve had . Cooked to perfection and with the best service

Ben and team provided a great lunch for our ladies gym belated xmas lunch. Great service and lovely food. Difficult when catering for large numbers but everything seemed to come out nice and hot .

Lovely atmosphere and great staff. One of the best Sunday roasts I've have had for a long time. Roast potatoes where spot on. 😋

What can I say… as a booking of 20 people some would expect there to be at least some things to go wrong or (not to our liking) but I can hand on heart honestly say me and my whole booking had NOTHING bad to say about anything! Food was amazing! Staff were amazing! We was made to feel extremely welcome! The owner even got out the karaoke machine for us use, which made our night! A massive thank you to everyone who works there and the owners to accommodate the large table! Will definitely be coming back as a team and individually! THANK YOU!!!

Had a great night at the Sun Inn on Saturday. They hosted 20 of us for our works “Christmas” meal! Food was great, service was great and they even let us do a bit of karaoke! Thanks very much!

Wow ... what can I say .... what a let down , cold , sterile and uninviting. Quality really dropped

Looking for somewhere to eat on the way back to guest house and saw this place. Inside instantly interesting with music wallpaper and records on the wall. Staff friendly and welcoming. Nice atmosphere. Had food which was nice and hot. This is situated on the Winchester road 20 minute walk from the town centre. Plenty of seating inside and plenty of parking. Would definitely go again and recommend..

Booked a table for 6pm as we were on our way to see a show at the Plaza (show started at 19.30) After what seemed a long time we finally was given our meals . I had the eggs ,gammon and chips which even I could conjure up but apparently the chef at the Sun cannot 🤔 The eggs were like rubber and the gammon was not much better . At least the chips were OK.

It was a delight to be greeted by a lovely smile and accommodating staff. We had a delightful Sunday lunch - roast lamb was my choice. It was plentiful and scrumptious. Surpassed my expectation (we had eaten there about a year ago and were not impressed) … but came highly recommended lately. Would I return? … most certainly !!! Thank you.

Popped in on the off chance to dodge the rain and very pleased we did. Really great service. Friendly staff and a nice burger. Worth a visit.

Popped in for a snack and wow, the Stilton mushrooms are delicious. Ty to the chef, she knows her stuff. Lovely quirky lil pub too, worth a visit, so why are you waiting?

Absolutely amazing great food I had the Chicken burger which was crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside with a great spice to it. Great deal on Mondays! Definitely will return!

This is a fun place to dine. Our 4 th visit for food and it just gets better and better. We used to love the Tapas Question - Where else in Romsey serves Tapas? Not the Sun for the time being . So menu changed...

Met with friends for Sunday roast - absolutely first class food, wonderful service and such a warm atmosphere. Very helpful staff. Beautiful garden area - top standard cleanliness in the bar areas and toilet facilities. Highly recommended

Called in for Saturday morning breakfast, staff lovely and breakfast very tasty and well cooked. Pub was clean and we had a nice chat with the landlord.

Welcoming pub with great food and a wonderful variety of entertainment! We had such a great time, Ben and his team are the best!

We used to love this pub, it was different, had a great atmosphere, brilliant food and lots of choice… new owners have lost its charm and it’s now a very average, dull pub with limited choice. Menu is now very boring and more expensive than...

We Love this hidden gem of a pub in Romsey! The Menu is always exciting for regulars as the pub runs a rotating menu, so always something new to try. The Garden has recently veen re-vamped and there are a couple of lovely booths which are warm and cosy even on a chilly evening as they come with heaters installed! Another recent addition is the cocktail menu which we of course indulged in, the Strawberry daiquiri's were delightful! The pub is dog friendly and they will even offer your four legged friend a treat on arrival, if they are extra hungry, there is a doggy menu with dog friendly meals from which you can spoil your dog from, our Cocker Spaniel always looks forward to visits here!

Great place to meet friends and chill 😎

Had a wonderful roast yesterday for fathers day and my sisters birthday too.I mentioned my grandma was coming in a wheelchair and they had the space ready for her at the table, sometimes it’s those little things that go really far. The food was delicious and not over priced, it was a perfect Sunday outing - thankyou to the sun inn

Quirky pub. Great food. Well worth a visit

It appears closed for business.

Absolutely amazing hospitality... Went with my girlfriend and 3 children, and were made to feel welcome the moment we walked in by a friendly and very funny landlord/waiter. The food came reasonably quickly, and was hot with generous portions. Proper wholesome cooked food in this inn. Will definitely be visiting again! 👏👏

Haven't eaten here but great little pub!

First time visiting we went for breakfast Well, it was delicious and defo going back soon.

Charming public house with excellent service and accompanied by an extensive menu catering for all tastes. Ample parking with a comfortable atmosphere. Would recommend.

Went in for a Saturday breakfast, and it was yummy 😋 staff are amazing, and the reason I keep going back

Went there for a Tangerine Tantrum gig which was great.

Great pub. Friendly service, good menu, lovely food and good selection of beers. Recommended.

Food is very reasonably priced and portions are ample. Tastefully decorated and sometimes the sport is played on a large screen. Drink prices are in keeping with other pubs in Romsey. Very polite staff and food is served very quickly.

Great place, staff are amazing, dont go to the bingo if you are easily offended tho!

Just amazing, took a visit for lunch today im Bournemouth (came from Romsey) friend from Winchester, Great choice, wonderful service and great food, i asked for my eggs on top of my chips No problem. Go there its fabulous

Great local pub with a warm friendly greeting from Ben the new landlord. Food is lovely and they do a golden year's menu for us pensioner's two course for £10.00. Friday night music evenings are a very welcome new edition and Ben seems to book such fab groups and singers. Feel right at home in this lovely gem of a place.

Amazing place to eat and drink and very friendly staff

Staff were very helpful. Good access for disabled. Food excellent

Good food, but probably need more staff .

Lovely lunch with excellent friendly service, we'll be back.

Amazing food and amazing service, I come here for work supporting guys with learning difficulties to have a lunch out ,always a friendly welcome all our needs are met by their friendly hard-working team. Food is fresh and delicious cooked perfectly which is readily enjoyed by all. Will definitely be returning and highly recommend for a good Sunday lunch.

We went to the the Sun Inn in Romsey again tonight for dinner and to watch the phenomenal Jacquii Cann perform. As always the food was fantastic (we had the curry and Stroganoff). The show as expected was amazing. Fabulous performer in a brilliant pub with a great landlord. Had a really good night. Thank you

Amazing pub and stuff great food xx

Visited Sunday afternoon for a roast with some friends. My husband and I (both vegan) ordered the vegan roast, which when it came out was a tiny square of nut roast and three roast potatoes with some gravy. The plates were virtually empty. Given that our friends (who had ordered meat roasts) had full plates loaded with meat, Yorkshire puddings, parsnips, potatoes, and cauliflower cheese, we were appalled. The vegan roast was priced identically to the others, despite a severe lack of what was provided as default to meat eaters. Given this, we complained. The waiter took the plates back, returning a few moments later with a small amount of broccoli on the plates, and miraculous extra sliver of nut roast that the chef 'apparently found' in the kitchen. I wish I could say that the food was even any good after this, but the veg was soggy and limp, overcooked, whereas the nut roast was burnt and overdone to the point that it was crunchy and needed a steak knife to saw through. Absolutely not impressed. The only saving grace was the waiter bless him catered to all of our issues and kept a smile on to make our meal as good as he could. The chef also almost saved themselves by delivering a very lovely and warmed up vegan Jaffa-stye cake. This was a pleasant surprise given the poor standard of the main dish itself. I hate to be critical but I just want to warn any vegans who want to visit that the choices are limited, and even those are executed poorly - and with a price tag that just doesn't sit well for the quality.

Fabulous place with great food & lovely landlord and very polite Staff . Definitely will be going back again .

Fantastic food,great host and wonderful atmosphere. A proper traditional pub, Highly recommended.

Had a lovely lunch here and a chat with the cheery new landlord. He seems to have some great plans with live music for the place moving forward. The food was very good. Wishing them all success with the plans for the future- the Sun will rock Romsey!

Always the best food going! Looking forward to seeing what this place can become!
