"Having got married at Gretna Green at 11:30, our extremely casually convened wedding arrangements led us here. We had no plan whatsoever; other than to “elope”, or as far as one can do so these days, with four friends to act as witnesses, and go...to Gretna to get married. Having tied the knot, we found ourselves heading home to Teesside, realising that anywhere we could head to to have a meal together was looking unlikely on account of lunchtime service finishing at 2pm. Plans changed. On the motorway. And we’re so glad they did. Upon arrival, dressed in our wedding finery (I guess that most groups of people don’t arrive at the Sun Inn dressed in bow ties, Tweed Suits, some glamour, a kilt and Laboutain heels — the ideal hiking and outdoor pursuits wear) when asked if we were going somewhere nice, we confessed to having got married an hour previously and just fancied some lovely grub and a table for 6. The staff genuinely threw out the red carpet for us. Utterly unprompted. Even when we advised that we didn’t want any fuss. Within 10 minutes a table for six had been prepared with table dressings and fresh flowers and we were ushered through to the dining room. We were all stumped for choice with a lovely menu to choose from; and were probably being a bit greedy in making our choices but, when in “holiday mode” and with a lovely and diverse range of choices to make, we went for staters and mains. All dietary requirements accommodated for where do you start? A coeliac, two vegetarians (one of which is lactose intolerant), the table from hell! But accommodate us they did. And in style. Only one minor hiccup being which a breadbun that wasn’t gluten free but issue resolved. The food was delicious, our travelling companion and curry aficionado deeply impressed with the prawn curry in particular. Just a lovely, lovely experience topped off by one of the regulars in the main bar sending through some wedding favours as a wee gift for us all. Cannot thank the lovely people at the Sun Inn enough for their kindness and hospitality. Made our day completely and yes, we will be making a return trip on “Star Wars Day” (May the Fourth) next year for our first anniversary. Just lovely. In the nicest and best possible way. Thank you all so so much. You made our day."

"We visited here on the morning of the 9th of January for my birthday breakfast. As we normally do) I normally go for the create your own pancake stack, but I decided to go for a waffle this time. I went for the Dutch Waffle, this cost £7.69 and was topped with apple, sultanas, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, toffee sauce and cinnamon sugar. My boyfriend had a bbq omelette for £10.29, this contained pulled pork, crispy streaky bacon, jalapenos, grilled grated cheese and BBQ sauce.I had a birthday badge on and our waitress Lisa W, wished me a happy birthday. When the waffle was served by another lady, she also wished me happy birthday too. To my surprise there was a candle on the waffle! This was really sweet of them.When we were paying, Lisa asked if we had anything planned for the rest of the day. I told her we are going to the Spa and how we go to a different Centerparcs every year for my birthday. She was really sweet and seemed genuinely interested in talking to me. She also complimented me on my nails.For my drink I had a hot chocolate £3.59) and my boyfriend had a large pepsi max £3.09) The total bill came to £24.66.We never have a long wait to be seated here as we are a couple, and the place is mainly filled with families with younger children.
