What loobyBucks likes about The Royal Sun:
The pub looks a bit uninviting from the outside and could do with a few hanging baskets. The inside is really nicely decorated and had a nice ambience. Wayne the owner and chef was friendly and approachable. The Sunday roast was extremely tasty as were all of the desserts. The menu had some really nice sounding meals on it. Service a bit on the slow side considering the restaurant was fairly quiet. View all feedback. What jw014278 doesn't like about The Royal Sun:
We really just came in when our offices are close to Sun's location. They are from Eastern Europe, the service is without dry and simply factual smiles.Don't expect a warm and cordial welcome. . . clean and good bar; it is a pity that lacks hospitality. View all feedback.
