The Sun Inn in Wiltshire

This pub has been through a few people's hands over the last few years but I have to say, based in our experience, this iteration is definitely the most enjoyable.We popped in for a late lunch on a Tuesday and were really pleased with the food, service and tweaked décor.Everything was freshly prepared and it showed. The chicken supreme with chorizo risotto and crispy kale that I had was brilliant.We'd stopped going out to the Sun for a while, but the improvement is noticeable - great food, friendly service and nice surroundings mean we will be going back again soon.

Lovely to sit out under the marquee for a fabulous Sunday roast. Great service too.

My partner and I came down for some lunch, very friendly and welcoming. Lovely outside area with bar and amazing when the sun is shining. Highly recommend.

A hidden gem! Did not expect 4* restaurant food from a pub. And dog friendly too! With a large beer garden . Loved it

The Sun Inn at Lydiard is a lovely quant pub, with lovely staff, a great environment and a large garden with a outside bar. Great place to have a drink with friends and family

Had a lovely time at the Sun Inn last Sat. Used it as a meeting point for family coming from Essex and Devon. Very close to the M4 jnc 16.Had the best pub food I've experienced in a long time. All fresh, expertly cooked and delicious. Then took a lovely walk from the pub garden to nearby Lydiard Park. The staff made us very welcome to bring our dog in too.

Just had lunch at this pub where I’ve been meeting friends on and off for the past 18 months. The one star is for the food which was very good. However there are previous posts stating that the place is dog friendly which was one of the main reasons for my choosing it. Don’t be misled - they are not. My friend had her mature small, very well-behaved dog with her and we were told that because they were expecting more dogs inside (from bookings) we would have to sit in the gazebo outside. We hadn’t booked which is fair enough but this was 12 noon when they opened and there was one other black dog (Labrador) who came in at the same time. We were told the gazebo would be heated. It was, but on a timer! It was pouring with rain outside and freezing. Consequently this meant that the staff had to deliver our food through the rain. The food was tasty but cold (due to being rained on!) When we finished I went into the pub to use the facilities. There were no dogs at all, and at least 4 empty tables. We asked the waitress why there had been a change of policy about dogs, she replied that there hadn’t been, she mumbled something about it being only ‘wet’ dogs! The dog we had with us wasn’t wet, we had walked him in the field at the back for five minutes and then dried him with a towel before entering the pub. Tbh she just looked like she was struggling to find an excuse. It’s such a shame as we’ve really enjoyed meeting at this pub which in the past has always been very friendly and welcoming, including to our dogs. We have no issue with them not wanting dogs in the pub, no reason why they should but at least try to get the story right or make it clear that all people attending with dogs should sit outside.

Very nice meal and a very nice chocolate and hazelnut brownie for dessert 😋

Came here after many years and found it a lot different to previous visits. It's got a new landlord and look to it. Popped in for a post Xmas drink with family and friends and were quite a large group. However things have really changed. Really nice guy behind the bar and the young girl who was bringing our drinks to the table also very nice and polite. We didn't actually order food, but had just fries as we had already had lunch elsewhere, and they were really good. Had a lovely evening, and will definitely come again 😊

Such a good Sunday roast!! Incredible service, wonderful people and beautiful food. Loved it.
