Sun Inn

Our first night in the Lake District and we needed some food, LOL. A short drive from where we were staying brought us to Pooley Bridge and this delightful pub.
Nice garden to sit in with plenty of tables spread around with stacks of room in between so you never felt ‘in the way’ of others.
Great selection of real ales (yes, yes, yes) with good, fast service even though the pub was busy.
We ordered food which was a difficult choice as the menu was extensive.
I went for the steak and ale pie. The gravy was thick and tasty with the flavour of the ale. The beef so tender it just melted in the mouth. The pastry, to die for. And the chips were the old fashioned chunky type. I would say, the BEST steak and ale I have ever had.
So if you are ever in that region, make the trip to Pooley Bridge and you will not be disappointed.

Nice food and friendly staff and good value for money

I’ve only ever been to the Sun Inn for dinner and drinks, but I’ve been quite a few times. My boyfriend’s family has a caravan not far away on Ullswater, so it’s local for us.
I’ve always had lovely pub food at this place. Over the years I’ve had the usual dishes like fish and chips, Cumberland sausage, lasagne, and steak and chips. I was just there last week and as always the staff was friendly. Last week my fish and chips was around £10.00 and my bf’s steak and chips was £16.00.
For good quality pub food in the area, I definitely recommend this place. It also has a great garden area and its own parking area.
