My wife and I moved to Whitchurch Hill at the end of January 2010. Prior to moving into the area we came across the Sun Inn. The place was quite empty as it was a mid afternoon however we met one of the Landlady's (Ros) who also runs the place alongside her mother Christine (Ma as she likes to be called).
The food is always excellent, good honest home made food using fresh locally sourced produce. The prices are also honest for the food, reasonable but always served in a quality, timely well presented fashion. Our wedding anniversary was in May and we did not have anything planned this year unfortunately however we spoke to Chris (Ma) and she ordered some steaks in especially for the meal and also put our Cuban CD on as well, anyway this turned into a great night with everybody feeling that Carribean touch for the evening.
The beer is well kept and we have never had any issues and the Sun Inn provided us with the final piece of the jigsaw that made us decide to move to the area.
Great locals who are always friendly, good food, clean environment, well kept Ale (and cider of course as I am a Strongbow man and my wife likes real ale), big garden which is great in the summer, excellent meat raffle on a Saturday night, all in all a great pub. It is a given for anybody to try it out if they have not visited before and are in the area.

we visited the sun inn on easter sunday as we had heard by word of mouth what a lovely day the pub puts on on easter sunday for the children. the huge garden had lots of toys and garden equipment for the children to play on and an easter egg hunt and face painting had also been laid on by the landlady's, all free of charge!!! the children had great fun running around and enjoying themselves whilst my husband and i enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine, in peace!! we were made very very welcome and ALL four of us had a great afternoon and took away a free egg. Food was also being serves which looked fantastic, shame we had eaten before we came out. will definitely visit again.

My family and i attended the annual firework display which is organised by the sun inn. luckily the evening was dry and was filled with lots of fireworks, a huge bonfire, a bbq and outside bar and a kids stall selling glow sticks, sweets and drinks. all the goods were reasonably priced and everyone had a fabulous evening. Yet another fab display put on by the pub to entertain the locals and not so locals!!! Great event with a fab atmosphere, will definitely see you next year.

We found this pub on the outskirts of whitchurch, near pangbourne. We decided to go through recommendations and decided that we would try out the food there. Both me and my boyfriend chose homemade option and thought that the food was excellent! Nice good portions, piping hot and delicious. Not only that the service can not be complained about as they were very quick with the food service, happy and very willing for a conversation if wanted. I had recently read a review about this pub as being 'dirty' but from our view we thought that the pub was clean and nicely kept. Definately go in for a sunday lunch again.

We ordered a drink and tried to find a table that was not covered with bits of food from the previous occupier. A table near us had people sitting at it, was full with dirty glasses, food plates and dessert dishes.
A member of staff approached the table and said let me clear some of these things, removed 2 glasses and disappaered behind the bar again.
As we looked round, the place was grubby, food over the carpet, and not just from that day, light switches and sockets thick was grim paint work dirty.
After 15 minutes we left,leaving our unfinsherd drinks on the table. Hoping they may get the message.
Never again oxfordshire

We were out for a drive and found this lovely little country pub by chance. It is on the edge of the village of Whitchurch Hill. Lunch was lovely, good value for money, I had homemade fish pie and my husband had homemade Pork in Cider. Nice freshly cooked vegetables. It is a family run pub, very friendly and comfortable. They have an extensive menu with lots of choice to suit all pockets. It is a Brakspears pub, husband said "very good pint". Nice garden with toys to occupy the children. Set in beautiful countryside will definitely be visiting again.
