Such a wonderful pub that needs to stay open!!!

3 of us went for drinks & dinner.

It’s a comfortable pub, with all the right vibes.

The menu is small & not your usual pub prices, but for good reason.. the dishes are put together with a quality found only in top restaurants. My colleague ordered the main vegetarian dish, & I ordered the prawn,avocado & cous cous starter with fries, expecting a naff prawn cocktail dish, but it was so much more- absolutely delicious & worth every penny.

At the moment it is shut on Mon/Tues, but looks closed all the time (they are not allowed to light up the outside too much as they are close to the road). Please go here. Make it viable. Keep it open.

Dreadful owner who treated everyone rudely and disrespectfully. Can’t even believe someone running a restaurant could be so sour. The food was bland and the potatoes were so dry and tasteless. Bathroom door was difficult to open from the bathroom side. Watched three people struggle to open a heavy door with a tiny metal knob up top. Also dangerous to have the door right next to the sink & hand dryer. See photo.

It was hot inside and honestly we wished we didn’t stop there. Not much good to say except the waitresses were nice.

I’ve been visiting The Royal Sun since the 1980’s. Today my local family and I stopped to try it for lunch under the most recent managers. I must admit I was truly disappointed. The place was virtually empty, the food selection was not what I’ve come to expect from a nice roadside pub, particularly from The Sun. I left thinking I’ll give them 6 months tops before going under. I suggest they add some traditional fare to appeal to more people if they want to make a go. I am an American who treasures local fare, and this wasn’t it.

The food was sublime. My half-duck with courgettes, potato with cheese and vegetables had a superb taste and texture to it. My partner's likewise, who chose slow cooked BBQ ribs, found that the meat simply came off the bone, and was tender to the touch. A nice little place for anyone passing by.

Great spot for a lunch with friends especially if sunny outside has the terrace offers good seating space. Very tasty French fries and overall meal, but unfortunately we were unlucky with the waiting time for very simple dishes. Kids waiting 40min for a meal is something pretty difficult to manage as a parent, and those should have been prioritized, as adults could wait more if needed...

Good service and food. Able to accommodate a large group on a Sunday without any hassle.

I recently visited Oxford and found this little gem just down the road in Begbroke. Very charming and inviting from the outside and even better once we went Inside! Lovely atmosphere and very good selection of gins! Had a bite to eat which was delicious and the owners were more than welcoming. We went to go back the next day on Saturday but the pub was closed for a private event which looked like a great party I believe a wedding but absolutely packed. We can't wait to visit again and highly recommend!

Tasty Sunday roasts, beef and pork. Dessert was very good too but ate it too quick to take a photo!
