| A nice country pub with Old Hooky in good order. The game pudding was v good. Service also good. AndrewW - 18 Jul 2012 08:35 |
| We've spent a lovely weekend break at the Sun Inn, hospitality was superb, food was excellent, staff were friendly and the atmosphere was great. Will be visiting again without doubt. Bazrene - 21 Feb 2011 12:22 |
| We used The Sun Inn for a knees up this summer with a group of brewers. There were no complaints about the beer and it was a very choosy crowd, They put on an excellent buffet for us, which although more expensive than the other pubs in the village, was well worth it. The garden is great over the summer and I'd prefer to be out there when the weather's nice as sometimes there are some snooty stalwarts in the bar itself. The landlord tries but isn't always the most sociable but the other staff usually make up for him. beerminx - 23 Jan 2011 17:40 |
The nice thing about the long days of summer is that you can explore pubs outside your patch. We drove over to Hook Norton mid-week just before the school holidays. I had an excellent pint (well two) with my steak and my friend was very happy with her liver (done to perfection). She also commented that the Chardonny was far better than that served in many pubs. Unfortuneately a couple of negatives have made me reduce my 9 to 6/7 (still deciding). Firstly last time I visited (four years ago) there was a large choice of fresh fish - please bring it back. Also I have to agree with HolbornBoy about the kids. There were two ladies who lunch with their toddlers. One of them seemed to be in the "terrible twos". Madam it is your child not mine - therefore I do not wish to suffer their screaming fits and tantrums. Your child - your responsibility! MikeTheMechanic - 17 Aug 2010 18:03 |
| This is very far from being a 'lovely country pub'. Do not be deceived by the charming frontage for once you enter you will find another destroyed interior. There is a stone flagged floor, a big brick fireplace from which hangs pots and pans and a beamed ceiling but it's all of recent construction. The place has all the atmosphere of an airport lounge. The customers were those dreadful middle-class types who think it's okay to bring toddlers and babies into pubs. Four pumps serving Hook Norton ales - my pint of Hooky Gold would have been nice but was a degree to warm for my taste. I might have stayed for another pint but the combination of screaming rugrats and self-important air of their parents hastened my departure. holbornboy - 30 Dec 2009 13:46 |
