The Sun Inn Barnes is a historic pub and restaurant at 7 Church Road overlooking the village pond. Dating back to the eighteenth century, it remains a focal point for the riverside neighbourhood while offering a contemporary dining experience.
The menu draws on seasonal British cooking, moving from refined starters such as scallops or beef tartare to familiar pub favourites. Beer battered haddock and chips sits comfortably beside duck, steaks and other carefully composed mains.
A separate Sunday menu, lunch choices and pudding list allow the kitchen to serve different occasions throughout the week. Vegetarian dishes are available, and sharing cuts give groups a centrepiece for a longer meal.
The dining room and garden offer distinct settings across the seasons, supported by wine, craft beer and cocktails. The Sun Inn works for a relaxed lunch, an evening meal, an oyster and drink or a larger gathering in one of its group spaces.
Address: 7 Church Road, Barnes, London SW13 9HE, England
