Situated near Welshpool, the Sun is a lovely little inn owned by the friendly Gartell family. The retreat has a conventional ale room offering local real ales, beers and lagers and a choice of wines and spirits. A traditional bar menu offers an assortment of homemade delights.

The contemporary restaurant has a modern feel with comfortable chairs, heavy ash tables and is available for lunch and dinner bookings. Chefs and owners Peter and son Dominic create good quality English and continental dishes using as much local, organic and seasonal ingredients as they can source. Expect to find grilled Cornish sardines, rabbit with two mustard sauce and prunes, breast of duckling topped with cherry sauce and a wonderful sticky toffee pudding.

A selection of liqueurs, cognac and whiskies can be served with coffee if you wish. This is a little bit of dining pleasure where you might least expect to find it - but well worth a drive out through the spectacular scenery.
