The Sun Pub is a friendly local at 21 Drury Lane in Covent Garden. Its central position makes it an easy stop before or after the theatre, while the warm service and compact traditional interior give it a more personal atmosphere than a large central London bar. Food is served from midday through the evening from Monday to Saturday.
Pies supplied in partnership with Pieminister are the focus of the kitchen. A changing choice of fillings allows diners to select meat, vegetable or vegan options, generally served with creamy mash, gravy and traditional sides. The combination provides a substantial and uncomplicated pub meal that suits a quick lunch as well as an early dinner before a performance.
The bar also offers familiar snacks including sausage rolls, olives, crisps, nuts and pork scratchings with apple sauce. Beer, cider, wine and spirits cover the classic pub drinks selection, with staff able to help guests find a bottle or glass to match their taste. The direct menu keeps the emphasis on good pies, well kept drinks and value.
Live sport, darts and regular poker give the ground floor an active social character. An upstairs lounge can be reserved for birthdays and other private gatherings, while the whole venue is available for larger events. Together these features make The Sun both a convenient Drury Lane dining stop and a genuine neighbourhood pub in the middle of Covent Garden.
