What JuddyManchester likes about The Sun:
Weird to see recent bad reviews as we had a great meal here at the weekend.. I saw a rehire saying the manager was rude, if it’s the guy behind the bar, he’s a good lad, sarcastic humour so might be lost on some. The food was great and the restaurant area is lovely.. haggis pakora starter is a winner.. View all feedback. What Alex A doesn't like about The Sun:
Avoid the chilli con carne. Made me ill and owner refused to acknowledge. Wouldn't go back anyway, had they offered a discount, however they will not. Very expensive, poorly staffed, unapologetic attitude. View all feedback.

Dirty tables, toilets filthy, expensive, no atmosphere, wish we never wasted so much money. A Shame as the actual meal was very nice. Would never go back.

The rude manager, who wore sunglasses indoors and spoke with a Scottish accent, took my food that I requested to go and threw it away. It seems he doesn't under...

This bar offers a selection of real ales, mostly from local microbreweries, but all are priced quite high. We have been vacationing in Coniston for the past ten...
