The Sun Public House and Thai Restaurant

A great little lunch spot in Hounslow. The lunchtime specials are a very affordable £6 for a main with rice and spring rolls. You can choose beef, chicken, pork or tofu. They also let my friend have prawns because they don’t offer halal meat. Each of the 7 of us chose something different and there wasn’t a scrap left on a single plate. My chicken with cashew nuts was yum, very fresh and a perfect lunch size portion. Today was a little too cold for outside but I’ll definitely be returning in summer to take advantage of the huge garden. There are a few parking places outside too so it’s very convenient.

The Sun is a pub that also has a Thai restaurant. The restaurant part has been fairly empty the times that I’ve been there but having eaten there I’m nor sure why it’s not too popular with the locals. Possibly because it is a Thai restaurant in a predominantly Indian area — in fact I think it’s the only option near Hounslow High Street if you want to eat something that isn’t Indian curry or pub food. Anyway, I digress. The décor of this restaurant is non-​existent and it has a curiously sparse layout. The food however is surprisingly good and the service is cheerful and friendly. The beer garden also looks very attractive and they serve food there as well. The red and green Thai curries are really good and so are the soups and starters. The only problem is given the ambience and the smallish portion sizes, it is slightly expensive for the area. But you could do much worse if you’re shopping on Hounslow high street and fancy something other than a curry.
