After movie food and drinks in the new look Sun Hotel

After falling asleep in the cinema a few years ago I vowed never to eat and drink alcohol before seeing a film again. Hunger set in after watching Spy at the Vue cinema in Lancaster and with a 4pm finish it would have been rude not to have sought out a watering hole to sustain the hungry soul.

Heads, The Sun, tails, The Study Room; heads won.

We hadn't been to The Sun for a while, the menu had become a touch repetitive although everything we had was always top notch.

After purchasing the drinks we took the new slimline menus into the dining room, that was when I noticed the change in decor. It was, well, creamier after a make over. The lines were cleaner and two new areas of fixed seating opened out the room further. Well done Matt and the team!

The 10oz Club caught my eye on the menu and I chose the Rib Eye. It was an impressive hunk of beef that arrived adorned with a medley of mushrooms, one of those mini-chip baskets of Fries, a pot of salad and crunchy sweet corn salsa but no beer battered onion rings. I asked, they appeared - no damage done. The missus had the fish and chips - always done right.

The steak was cooked perfectly, the mushrooms were divine and even a rampant salad hater like me loved the sweet corn salsa, a great way to end the afternoon.

The rest of the menu looks great and I noticed they have kept the Deli Boards, make sure you check out the Specials; always worth a try.

For the cask ale fans there are ten available at the bar to wash down the food. Now then, what's the next film I can go to see?
