The Sunny Hill - Whitehaven

This restaurant offers a great dining experience. The prices are reasonable, typically ranging from £10 to £20 per person. The food is excellent, earning a strong 4 out of 5, and the service is equally commendable, also rated at 4 out of 5. The atmosphere is inviting and enjoyable, contributing to an overall pleasant meal. Don’t miss out on the Sunday Carvery, Roast Beef, Mixed Grill, and Steak and Ale Pie—they're highly recommended!

The food was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Parking can be tricky, as there's a small parking lot and limited street parking available. For families, the restaurant offers a good kids' menu and provides high chairs for little ones. The price range per person is around £20–30. Overall, I would rate the food a 5 and the service a 4.

I enjoyed a pleasant and quiet pint during the week. The food was excellent, earning a solid 5/5, and the service was also top-notch, rated at 5/5. The atmosphere was delightful, also a perfect 5/5. I highly recommend trying the Mixed Grill!

A good selection of food, friendly staff and a sizeable dining area but be prepared for it to be busy! We visited on a Wednesday night and luckily we had booked ahead of time, the place was packed and I couldn’t see any spare tables very surprising but great to see for a midweek evening! The menu here is massive, plenty of choices amongst the many categories there’s definitely something for everyone! Unfortunately we had to wait around 30 minutes for our drinks food order to be taken, we were tucked away in the corner and given how busy it was, a bit of a wait is understandable. Our server was apologetic for the delay and she was very friendly, she also made sure our drinks came straight away to avoid further delay. Food came after around an hour, again a bit of a wait but the conversation and the atmosphere was good so we weren’t overly bothered about the time, like I said it was really busy so it’s understandable! The food came and the portion sizes were great, I went for the peri peri butterfly chicken breast, the chicken was cooked well but it did lack a little in the peri peri seasoning maybe a peri peri dip with this dish would be a nice complement. The chips were lovely and the coleslaw was really good too. I was very full after the meal and didn’t have room for pudding, the cakes in the stand definitely did look good though so I’ll have to make sure I get one next time! Overall, a lovely pub meal in a nice pub/restaurant and I would definitely recommend if you’re in the area! I will just add that the parking isn’t the best, the car park fills up very quickly and you may have to park on the street so keep this in mind if you are visiting during peak hours!

Came on a Wednesday evening to an extremely busy pub, we didn't pre book and did have a struggle finding some parking nearby luckily found some on the road as the car park was rammed. Thankfully they found a table for the two of us, we just had to wait at the bar for around 10 minutes. Drinks prices were very reasonable and the football was playing so that passed the time. Food was really good, huge portions along with being really flavourful and most importantly piping hot. The soup of the day although it probably won't be available again was spicy pumpkin soup and it was without a doubt the best soup I have ever had, so many places do soup so poorly but wow if the rest of their soups are this good you'd always be pleased. Would definitely return even if it was just for a pint and to watch some sports on their huge TVs. Definitely recommend.
