The Sun Inn
High Street, Dedham, CO7 6DF
An independent freehouse owned and run by Piers Baker since July 2003, The Sun Inn at High Street is the perfect haven where a quiet pint goes hand in hand with robust food and wine. Oak floorboards, a rare oak bar top, exposed beams, original artwork, character furniture and four open fires all help to create the right mood. Settle in to reading newspapers or playing board games and in the summer enjoy the sun trapped terrace or large walled garden. The food is modern British with strong Italian influences, reflected in a menu governed by the seasons embracing seared filet of Longhorn beef, farmyard roasted chicken and chocolate nemesis cake. There are four real ales on tap from small brewers including the award winning Brewer's Gold from Crouch Vale alongside thirst quenching lagers and cider.An independent freehouse owned and run by Piers Baker since July 2003, The Sun Inn at High Street is the perfect haven where a quiet pint goes hand in hand with robust food and wine.

Four guest rooms demonstrate a mix of old coaching inn meets small boutique hotel - crisp linen, neutral fabrics, character furniture, hand made natural bathroom products, great showers and continental breakfast with a difference. It's all here at The Sun Inn.

REVIEWS OF The Sun Inn
Gemma (11 June 2007)
We ate in the restaurant on a Sunday night. The atmosphere was airy, relaxed and modern. I was impressed by the patron’s commitment to local produce and the detail they gave on their suppliers. The menu was Italian based and involved in some instances a great deal of olive oil as you may expect, one of our group found their meal to be too oily - this may be a personal taste issue rather than a fault of the chef however? The menu included some very original ingredients such as erbette and grey mullet. It also covered a few unusual taste combinations - so all in all not dishes you would find in any old restaurant. The service was a little disjointed with not all dishes coming together for our table. We also felt that some of the parts of the meal such as the tomatoes which went on the mozzarella and asparagus bruschetta and the baked fruit for the dessert were fridge cold, they could have been better served at room temperature. These were some minor issues. In summary a very interesting Italian based menu in a very nicely presented restaurant.

Stayed here for two nights a couple of weeks ago...simply superb. Brilliant staff and comfortable rooms but the food really blew us away. Veal with fennel and great roast potatoes, halibut and spinach. Local cheeses and a really rich chocolate pudding that finished us. I can't recommend this place enough....go..go...go!
