The Sun Inn

About The Sun Inn

The Sun Inn is a well-loved local pub situated on Parkshot in Richmond, a short walk from the town centre and station. With a welcoming atmosphere built around good food, a solid beer selection and a passion for sport — rugby in particular — it draws a broad mix of regulars and visitors alike. The walls are decorated with memorabilia, the seating ranges from cosy booths to open areas, and the kitchen turns out honest, good-value meals, with Sunday roast a firm favourite. Dogs and groups are equally welcome, cementing its reputation as a genuine community pub.

Local area

Parkshot sits just off the main flow of Richmond town centre, close to the station and the busy streets around George Street, making The Sun Inn naturally accessible for those arriving by tube, Overground or on foot. Richmond’s strong civic character and tradition of independent local businesses means a pub with genuine personality and community roots fits comfortably into the fabric of the area. On match days at nearby Twickenham, or simply on a Sunday afternoon after a walk through Richmond Park, a place like this serves a real and valued purpose for the neighbourhood.

Why choose The Sun Inn

For residents who value a pub that feels properly rooted in its community rather than styled for passing trade, The Sun Inn offers a dependable and characterful choice. The hours are generous — open every day, with late closing on Fridays and Saturdays — making it equally suited to a midweek lunch or a Friday evening out. The combination of sport on screen, an honest kitchen, a varied beer selection and a genuine welcome for dogs and larger groups means most households in the area will find a reason to visit sooner or later.
