We stayed here for 2 nights during the week (Wednesday and Thursday), using a Buy a Gift voucher we had been given for Christmas. I 'm really pleased we found this place. We were greeted by a lovely member of staff who ended up serving us for the 2 nights we were there. The room we stayed in (standard double) was lovely and clean. A decent size too. The flat screen TV was large enough to watch clearly from the bed I 'm guessing it was a 32 screen or similar. The shower room was modern and clean. We spent a decent amount of time in the room watching TV etc, but it was the bar and restaurant that really impressed us. Firstly the drinks. We 're both fans of Guinness, and the draft Guinness at The Sun is well kept. We also tried the Madri lager, a flavoured gin and tonic, and a bottle of Malbec wine. Secondly the food. Wow. On our first night, it was theme night, and the theme was Winter Warmers . We both opted for the home made steak pie, with chips and veg. Absolutely delicious. Really good sized portions too. On our second night, the full menu was available. I chose the steak and chips, while the Mrs chose one of the Chinese style dishes (chicken in honey/chilli sauce). My porterhouse was lovely, but my wife 's meal was amazing. I continually found myself using my chips to pinch the sauce from her plate. On atmosphere it was pretty good both nights. Wednesday is the ladies ' darts night, and Thursday is the men 's darts. Both nights the pub was fairly busy, with a friendly atmosphere. We both felt completely welcomed. The owners and the staff who work here are lovely, they really made us welcome, and I have promised one of the owners that we will return in future, bringing our kids with us next time. Thanks for a great stay.
