About Sun Tavern

Traditional pub with contemporary-style airy ground floor and upstairs lounge with open fire.

Modernly-themed pub with a curved servery, bare flooring and plain glass mirrors on the ground floor. The upstairs bar can be booked for private functions. The present building with its upper ornate stucco (more shades of grey than white) frontage was rebuilt in 1897 and is Grade II listed. The wide food menu includes baguettes and sharing platters as well as burgers, other pub grub favourites and Sunday roasts.

The venue is one of the small Morton-Scott chain.

    We had a wonderful evening here before the theatre. We arrived slightly early for our reservation but the staff quickly seated us. The kitchen didn't open until 5pm and at 5pm on the dot, someone came and took our order for us. The food was delicious when it arrived, the steak and ale pie is the best I've ever had. We had a children's meal and it was excellent value for money. Excellent venue with wonderful staff. We will be back.

    We had a group meal for 14 of us in the upstairs bar, where we had it for our exclusive use for a couple of hours. The food was good and is what you might describe as good honest grub. We opted for the premium set menu, which also included coffee which came as individual cafetieres (a nice touch). We also had a few bottles of the house wine, which seemed to flow well. One of the main things however, was the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. We were well looked after. A few of us retired to the main bar afterwards for some relaxing drinks. We will be back to this a great little pub.

    Came here with a friend, just on an off chance, and really enjoyed our little pit stop. The pub was actually not that busy, although it was only 3pm on a Thursday, and had a nice cosy setting. Upstairs seating available too but did not get to see that. Can recommend the loaded fries! Did not expect so much toppings but they were not stingy with it.

    Went in here for lunch on a busy day in London, party of five. The staff were great, very helpful and great service. We ate in the restaurant area upstairs, which has its own bar. There was quite a decent varied menu that catered for the Vegans in our party. Food was well, cooked and presented, plus it tasted great and the portion sizes were good. Franks were all good too. As we were just a little way off of Covent Garden, I thought the prices were pretty reasonable and the place was a lot less crowded than those within Covent Garden. Highly recommended, will eat and drink here again if…

    As a tourist, stay away from this place. I don’t know if I’m not familiar with bar service in London, but the service here was terrible. I went in and asked the bartenders where I could sit, and they told me the area was full but I could try upstairs. I did and I asked the bartender there if I could sit anywhere. He looked at me weird and said yeah. I went to sit down and no one acknowledged me for a good 15-20 minutes. The bartender that had told me yeah had sat down and was eating food. I actually waited to see how long it would take the other bartenders to come and take my order. No one…
