"Impressive in so many ways! I'd heard amazing things about the food, drink, atmosphere and friendliness of the Brew Shed, but it really does leave a great taste in the mouth! I went with 3 others who all raved about their meals and drinks. I had got in touch ahead of the meal, but Tom the Chef made an effort to come out to speak directly with me about any food sensitivities I have. Because of the various issues, it is really difficult to get a decent meal out, but Tom listened and came up with a brilliant meal for me. Oh the taste was FABULOUS! So full of flavour! The chicken was incredibly succulent too. This Chef knows his craft and he oozes food knowledge and passion for cooking amazing meals. Just LOOK at that basil under the halloumi! This meal is delicious. Ohh and the halloumi is the best I've had! Honestly, this is the BEST meal I've had out in a long time. It looked great, it tasted incredible. The drinks are excellent too. The staff are all friendly, attentive and very nice. I think I've found the perfect place to eat"

"what a great idea for our family to decide that our usual pre-Christmas dinner this year would be too much for me, now we have different family requirements. please, that I couldn't let my proud no thanks! we had an enormous evening with NO complaints, even drums. to achieve this with us from years to years, and including vegetarian, coeliac, vegan . . . and picky '. was nothing short of amazing. the menus were very attractive with something there for all, recognizable ingredients, nothing terrifying for the picker', but presented with imagination. most of the choices we all feel that we have spoken with a good degree of autority! the management and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, keeping an eye calm on what we needed, and efficiently circumvented with each question. all this was excellent, but we had to admit that the star of the show was the eating itself. quality and quantity both without a murmer, except perhaps to admire the amount of dishes. too much fun at everyone. So, yes, we enjoyed our evening. what an understatement! many thanks!"

"It 's such a shame to see this place go down hill. It appears that the original staff before lockdown have all but vanished besides the odd one. As a result the Sun In has now gone from being a great gastro pub to a woo-girl (Google/UD it) eatary and sports bar. I imagine this was perhaps done by the owners to try and bring in a more alcohol friendly audience to combat the less impressive menu. Food was mostly good however one dish served to one of the party contained an ingredient, that was not listed on the menu. We spoke to the new manager who sorted it but our plates were cleared well before the affected party member had finished. Almost provoking a quick turn around time for a modestly filled restaurant/bar area."

"Avoid at all costs, bland watery curry with no flavour but sadly that 's not the worst thing. We placed a full vegetarian order only to find that instead of the Quorn Bhuna that we ordered they gave us a Chicken Bhuna. They think that its OK to give a vegetarian the chicken as it was "probably misread ' so that makes it OK then? They offered me to come and collect a quorn one but wouldn 't waste my time or fuel. Hardly apologetic and not really interested in my complaint. Will never use this place again."

"went for a meal last night and was pleased to be able to choose from a selection of vegan starters, main and desserts! I had mushroom bruschetta that made these really delicious little mushrooms, I really enjoyed it, followed by jerk sweet potato curry, and finished with a sticky pear pudding and vegan ice cream. it was so nice to choose from a selection at each part of the menu, instead of just a token vegan option, and with a real ' pudding was nice! for the service and eating that I would have received, I would have forgiven 5 stars, although I guess happy cow 5 stars only keeps for fully vegan / vegetarian places, so it is a well deserved 4 stars."
