The Sun Inn

I Stayed at the Sun Inn weekend 28/29 October as i was working in Edinburgh. What a great place, fantastic staff, very welcoming and friendly and the lovely room and the fabulous food, evening dinner and breakfast. The Sun Inn is about 20 minutes from the centre of Edinburgh, safe parking overnight and makes a very good base. If i am working again in Edinburgh i will use the the Sun Inn again. Many thanks.

I am just home from here. My friend and I went out for dinner. Our meals were very nice. The staff were amazing, so professional yet so friendly and wee happy to have a wee chat while serving. It was a young man and a young lady, who said this was their first time running the restaurant on their own. They did so well, if they had not mentioned this I would never have known, such was their professional manner. To who ever is in charge, hold on to them, they are credit.

This wasn't my first trip to the Sun Inn, but it was a wee bit disappointing in comparison to previous visits. We chose to sit outside as it was a warm summer day, but the outdoor seating options were all a bit run down. The large tables and benches are falling apart a bit and there's mould and fungi growing from the tables. The smaller tables were all a bit shakey and unsteady. But we persevered and ordered lunch. I had the goats cheese salad which was beautifully presented and nicely balanced, my mum had the Cullen skink scotch egg, which I tasted, was very delicious, and, again, beautifully presented. For mains I had the cod with mash and green beans. This fell a bit flat for me, underseasoned mash and overcooked fish, visually just OK, overall a wee bit dry unfortunately. My mum had a burger which she said was "fine". I'm sure I'll be back again as it's a great wee local spot, and there's plenty more to try on the menu.
