Found this pub whilst staying in The Lake District. Amazing find, gorgeous food with an added bonus of Betsy our dog having her own doggy lunch. The owner was very welcoming and the pub itself very inviting. Would highly recommend x

Fresh local ale served by a very friendly lady! The food was great, we had fish and chips, and the pub was a great place to relax before heading off on the rest of our walk. Thank you and merry Christmas!

We were warmly greeted, and felt relaxed bringing our dog with us too. A lovely fire, and dog treats /blankets were especially welcome. We didn't eat this time because the tables were all booked for quiz night but the aromas of food that people were picking up for takeaway were mouth watering.

A fantastic pub serving great beers and food. We rang ahead to ask if it was OK to park overnight in our camper and was made most welcome by the landlady. Lovely roaring fire staff and locals.

Thankyou Pauline for such a lovely time we popped in on our last night in Kendal and were made to feel so welcome! The Sun Inn has such a cosy pub atmosphere. The service was excellent Pauline was on her own… and at no point was anyone waiting too long for anything she handled it like a boss!
The food was amazing Ryan knows his job well! Great tasting food and perfect portion sizes!
I don’t normally do reviews but we had such a good experience I had too!
Thankyou for going out of your way to be helpful Pauline! X

First time visit to a pub i have been past serval times.
Only called in for a drink but the welcome was good.
Looking round the pub while sittting enjoying my beer you find there are live music nights at the end of the month
Food specials on certain days
Might be a good idea to book your table in advance
Seating on a terrace outside is available

Visited this Sunday eve for a meal. Absolutely fantastic! Food was beautiful, nicest Sunday dinner I've had in a long time - seasoned to perfection. The girl who served us (didn't catch her name) was brilliant, really attentive, very friendly and helpful. Nothing but praise for the whole place! Will definitely come back.

We have two large dogs; our youngest at 16 months had never been in a pub before and oh my! What a welcome we received! Dog blankets by the table, dog biscuits whilst we ate, plenty of fuss all round. Fantastic. The food was plentiful, delicious and well priced. We would highly recommend.

6 of us have enjoyed a lovely meal at The Sun Inn at Crook. The service was 5* and food was brilliant value for money. I was concerned about the limited options on kids menu due to my kids picky eating, but they both enjoyed the food. We will be returning again when we are in the area next. Well done The Sun Inn great job 👏

Nice proper pub with good hearty tasty food. Had 2 types of curry on our visit, both yummy & my bread & butter pudding was delicious. Greeted our dog with biscuits & served with a friendly & very down to earth manner. Would visit again if I the area.
