The pretty village of Newton Reigny, a couple of miles west of Penrith, is home to the
marvellous Sun Inn, a popular, traditional free house
dating from the 17th century. Tenants Adrian and Carolyne Stevenson-Jones took over here
in January 2007, moving from a public house in Glasson Dock.
Adrian is a chef with 15 years' experience, and the food that he and Carolyne prepare is
much appreciated both by the regular local customers and by visitors to the area.
Food times are 12 to 2.30 every day and 6 to 8.30 Monday to Saturday (Sunday from 5.30
to 8). Local produce features strongly on the menus, and among the specialities are
pies, steaks and lamb Henry (braised with red wine and a redcurrant jus).
The bar is open lunchtime and evening and all
day Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays, and three real ales - Thwaites Original and Bombardier and a
changing guest - head the long list of drinks. A garden at the back of the inn runs down
to a picturesque stream, providing a very pleasant spot in the summer months. The
Sun is not only a delightful place for a drink and
a meal, it's also the perfect base to relax, unwind and discover all the attractions of
the region.
The accommodation comprises four good-sized upstairs rooms, three of
them with en suite facilities and one of them a family room with its own private
bathroom. Children are very welcome, and the inn
can cater for private functions and parties - even a dance floor is available.
The scenery hereabouts is truly beautiful, and the inn itself is as pretty as a picture
in the summer, when the award-winning gardens and hanging baskets are in full bloom.
Penrith is close by and the Lake District
National Park is on the doorstep. Ullswater is six
miles away, and other places to visit include Aira Force Waterfall, Whinlatter Forest Park,
Dove Cottage, Eden Ostrich World and Trotters World of Animals. This is also
excellent walking country, and golf, riding, pony trekking and fishing are all available nearby.
