Superb!

Visited the Sun for a pint prior to taking friends for a meal. What a delight!

Four different Real Ales listed PLUS a list of those which will be next served.

Very welcoming staff. The beer was very well kept at a perfect temperature.

Very nicely laid out pub, garden well kept.

But saving the best until last, the food was utterly superb.Between the four of us we all had different starters and main courses. All of us were delighted.

Prices were comparable with other local pubs but the food was restaurant standard.

Serving staff were quick, efficient and charming.

The new owners have done their homework and worked hard.

Buses to Freshwater and Newport run every hour, punctually.

We had a really great evening.

Forget the comments prior to 2009, this is a different place.

THANK YOU! We had a great time.

Wonderful welcome. Barmaid remembered my name two weeks later after first visit. Always busy but never cramped. Lovely log fires. Good well kept ales and a selection of some fine continental lagers including Warsteiner. That was a surprise! Food is excellent. Highly recommended.
