The Sun Inn offers all the hospitality, warmth and character you’d expect from a traditional inn. Sip a great local ale, a crisp chilled Sauvignon or relax with a latte, whatever your tipple we've got it covered.

Menu

Foodies can enjoy lunches, bar snacks, scrumptious dinners and Sunday lunches. You can choose to dine in the intimate restaurant or the cosy bar area, or in the dog-friendly restaurant area if you have your four-legged friend with you.

Our Food Style

Our Head Chef Joe Robinson honed his skills and knowledge in Michelin award winning restaurants. He has developed his passion for food working at opposite ends of the UK, from Edinburgh to Cornwall and opposite sides of the world, from Sydney to France. His experiences have taught him to enjoy and celebrate the fabulous and unique ingredients that are on your doorstep.

Menu

You can share in Joe’s passion of drawing on the best food producers in Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire to source fantastic meat, seafood, vegetables and dairy produce for his fresh and seasonal menus.  Joe also loves foraging Morecambe Bay for sea herbs and at local hot spots for elderflower, wild garlic, mushrooms and more.

We are delighted that Joe’s knowledge, passion and skills have been recognised through the achievement of Two AA Rosettes at the Sun Inn.
