The Sun Inn Kirkby - Scrumptious Dining In A Cosy Cumbrian Setting

Eat and Drink With Us

Come with family, meet your friends, bring your dog. Everyone is welcome at the Sun Inn for fabulous wines, great beers & fantastic food.

Please note: our Kitchen is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday Evenings. We offer a light lunch 12.00-2.00pm and an all-day sharing board option as an alternative on these days. The Kitchen is open for lunch from Thursday to Monday, and dinner Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Monday (Sunday lunch menu is served all day on Sunday until 7.45pm), when you can enjoy delicious food, check out our menus on this website. The cosy Bar is open every day all day and our B&B accommodation is available 7 days per week

We add a discretionary 10% contribution to all food bills. As we move towards a cashless society, it is becoming harder for guests to leave a small cash gratuity for our hard-working team. Tips all go into one pot and get split evenly between the whole team, chefs, waiters, housekeepers calculated by the number of hours they work. If, for any reason, you would prefer not to leave a gratuity please let us know and we will remove this immediately.

Relaxed Food and Drink

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.
