The Sun Inn, Barnes. Crunch 7, egg 8, filling 7. 

The Sun is a lovely pub, set overlooking Barnes pond with Swans waddling around and cheery pregnant women walking in much the same fashion. 

The outside area has been recently improved. What once was a car park is now a courtyard with an abundance of space with a pretty little bowls green to the side through an open door. 

Inside is cosy and in keeping with the local feel. Lots of interesting beers to choose from including Erdinger and Blue Moon. I had the former with my egg. 

So the egg. It was served in an old tin bowl which I liked. Appearance wise it was very nice all over. A garnish of watercress really added colour but alas, the same ole HP was laughing at me. 

It had a good crunch for the most part but succumbed to a common flaw, the bottom was a bit soggy. This happens when put on a baking tray instead of a grill. If this is rectified the crunch would have been closer to a 9. The yolk was very runny but the white was not quite set. The filling was a little hot so over cooked a touch, I suggest lowering the temp of the oven by 10c to let the egg white cook and not let the meet over cook. 

Top effort in another Castle pub. 

7.4/10
