About This Pub

Ah, the Sun Mill Inn – it's one of those unassuming spots that you stumble upon and think, 'Why haven't I been here sooner?' From what I've gathered from chats with others, the food is absolutely bang on, with cheap yet top-quality meals that leave you satisfied without emptying your wallet. It's clearly a family-run affair, which gives it that personal, welcoming touch, and they've smartened up the decor and toilets recently, making it a nicer place to settle in for sports, pool, or just a relaxed evening. The atmosphere is generally spot on, with plenty of entertainment to keep things lively. But, let's be honest, it's not all roses – some folks have mentioned the toilets aren't always up to scratch, and the drink selection can be a bit thin on the ground, with tales of running out of beer that might leave you wanting more. Plus, it can feel understaffed during peak times, and being a smaller pub, it does get cosy in a way that might not suit everyone, especially if things get a bit rowdy. Overall, it's a solid choice for a low-key night if you're local, but I'd say go in with realistic expectations and you'll likely have a good time.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food here is spot on and really good value – affordable prices without skimping on quality, making it a lovely spot for a bite.
  • It's a family-run business with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and they've done a great job renovating the place for a fresh feel.
  • Perfect for enjoying sports, pool, or a bit of entertainment, with a good vibe that makes you feel right at home.
  • Drinks are cheap and plentiful, which is always a win for a casual night out without breaking the bank.
Cons
  • The toilets can be a bit dirty at times, which puts a damper on things after a few pints.
  • Drink selection is limited and they sometimes run out of basics like beer, which is frustrating on a busy night.
  • It feels understaffed occasionally, leading to waits that might spoil the fun.
  • The pub is on the small side, so it can get a tad cramped when it's lively, and you might encounter the odd disruptive moment.

Great new family has moved into the Sun Mill. And they have renovated the old pub and changed the decor and toilets. Always a pleasure to visit and friendly welcome from the family.

Good local pub for sports and pool, cheap beer and just started to do food, is a bit on the small side but has a good atmosphere.

Visited about 4 years ago, on the night that the younger of my two best friends had just turned 18. I can remember being impressed by the prices, but my main memory of being there was seeing a very drunk middle aged woman stumbling around the place shouting her head off, being completely ignored by everyone, even when she toppled to the floor. I have never returned since.
