| The interesting name is derived from the original Ye Sunne pub that would be lost in a cloud of dust as the local farmers drove their animals down the dirt tracks to Blackheath. The current pub dates from 1841 and these days it is more likely to be lost in the smog of car fumes from the nearby A2. The pub looks far better than it actually is. The interior is now one knocked through cavernous room which makes it spacious but far too open and devoid of any character. The beer selection is poor and unimaginative – the only Real ale (Courage Directors) was off on my visit. The pub seems to be geared towards football fans, pool players, karaoke singers and fruit machine addicts. I would be the first to sit down and watch football but the picture on the big screen was of decidedly poor quality. There seemed to be no restraint on the punters language and I get the impression that it attracts some quite unsavoury characters. It certainly generated a very rough ambience and it is not really a place that I can particularly recommend. RogerB - 29 Mar 2007 13:23 |

| This pub is terrible. I live round the corner from it and have driven past it countless times and was curious about it. Went in there on a saturday night with a few friends, hated it in there. It was Karaoke night, which i usually dont mind. But this was something else. Packed to the rafters, we were told to sit down by other customers, as they couldnt see the singers. Fair enough, but there wasnt any more chairs! Bar staff were ok though. The group of us who went in there decided it was a motorway freak pub. M1cky83 - 27 Sep 2006 16:10 |
| This pub gave me the friendliest welcome I have recieved from any english pub, the guvnor made my wife and i feel as if he had known us for years.(good south african hospitality)The indian food was fantastic and the beer ice cold, the only down side was that we picked a very busy night and had to wait a little for our food. allgeorge - 19 Aug 2006 22:09 |
| Awful - beer tasted like it had something it shouldn't in it, also there was a male patron "scratching" himself in an intimate area. Will NEVER return. anonymous - 13 Mar 2006 13:09 |
