This pub was used many years ago by smugglers to land their ill-gotten gains and to sell them on.
The Sun Inn has had a somewhat chequered past over the last 600 years, and at one stage was nearly converted to a private residence but with local opposition and strong backing from the council it was ordered that the building be returned to a public house and was lovingly restored to it’s former glory.
New owners Mark and Lesley Blanchard bought the business in February 2009 with the objective of turning the Sun into the best county pub and restaurant on the Island. The focus is on fresh local produce including Wight Aberdeen Angus Beef, Rare breed pork and lamb from the adjoining farm. The menu will also include fresh bread from Freshwater and Cheese from the Isle of Wight Cheese Company, in addition to plenty of fresh local fish.
The pub opens its doors from 11am until 11pm Monday to Saturday and 12pm until 10:30pm on Sunday. Food is served from 12 until 9pm every day.
