A stone’s throw from the sea in coastal Sully, The Sully Inn offers a welcoming food and drink venue in the heart of the village.
A combination of drinking areas, whether it be in the popular cwtch, relaxing in front of the log burner, or in the traditional bar area, we have all on offer. Just call in for a drink, or join us for lunch or dinner and take your pick from our pub menu. Plenty of varied and designated eating spaces are on offer. Additional seating is available in the large walled beer garden as an attractive extension to the interior spaces.
A spacious, light and airy dining room upstairs doubles up both as extended restaurant space as well as also being available for functions. Call or email us if you are interested in booking for large numbers.

The Sully is closed on Sunday evenings and all day Monday. The kitchen closes 2.30-5pm Tuesday to Friday and last orders for food on Sunday are at 5pm.

    Good food,great service and a lovely setting.. a little bit noisy but that's because it was quiz night and we didn't know beforehand but I left knowing more than I did when I arrived so no problem there ....😀... Will definitely go back. Xx

    Fantastic Sunday lunch with my parents and family. Friendly staff and the food was delicious. Will ask next time for a jug of gravy as a personal preference I like to put it on my food myself. Definitely value for money. Looking forward to returning in December to celebrate my mums 80th birthday.

    We always enjoy dinning at Sully Inn . But last night we were seated in top bar right by the Door to smoking Area . So we did have a cold draught every time the door opened . I did ask to move but there were no spaces in bottom bar or Alcove . Our Meal was beautiful as always . Looking forward to Beaujolais Evening I have asked for table in bottom Bar this time ..

    Reasonably priced, tasty food and a good variety of options. Lunchtime menu at £12 per main supplemented the standard menu. Recently refurbished and decor felt fresh. Did not apply a set %age tip.

    The food was excellent, every dish exceeded our expectations. Not a lot of vegetarian options, but they were well-considered and didn't feel like an afterthought. The staff were prompt and friendly. However, it was very loud and it was at times hard to hear each other speaking or have a relaxed conversation, even after asking for a quiet table at booking time.
