Reviews of the Rising Sun

  Thank you for a beautiful Sunday lunch experience. Outstanding service, amazing food (the roast pork was exceptional) and beautiful ambiance.

The only slightly negative comment I would make... read more is the 'gratuity' being added to the bill. This is both cheeky and offensive ... we have ALL done it tough over recent times and this is an optional cost/choice of the customer. It should not be an 'expectation' on top of what is already an expensive social activity.

  We had a brilliant Saturday lunch, perfect fish and chips, and an amazing ploughman’s lunch, home made chutney service from Ash was great as usual. Lucky enough to visit often.... read more Also recommend for a Sunday roast.

  I have eaten at this pub on numerous occasions and the service and food is fantastic. Our lunch on the 11th Feb was no exception

  Well, so here's a real test of hospitality? We arrived on the offchance at 1250 on a Sunday lunchtime, not having booked or visited the Rising Sun before. It was... read more clearly bustling at the peak of its Sunday lunchtime service so we were quite prepared to be shown the door.

Not a bit of it. The Landlord welcomed us in and found a side table free near a cosy wood-burning stove, but on the basis that we would have to be in and out in an hour before the next booking arrived. That suited us fine.

We both ordered a Ploughman's lunch on the basis it was reasonably priced and should arrive fairly quickly. Excellent service from very friendly staff, and the food was a revelation, probably the best Ploughman's we'd had in many years.

Freshly cooked home-made scotch egg with a lovely runny yolk, generous wedge of Cheddar, freshly cut ham and two different pickles. Chunks of fresh bread plus lovely pickled onions and a leaves garnish, washed down with beautifully-kept Dark Star bitter. Wonderful!

If this is the standard of service a common-or-garden "walk-in" can expect at the busiest time of the week, it's a real credit to the Landlord and staff, especially after what must have been an awful two years.

The Rising Sun is off the beaten track, but well worth the effort. Thanks for your great hospitality and, as they say, "THAT's the way to do it"!!

  We booked a few days in advance for a Sunday roast and good job we did as they were pretty busy. Roasts were delicious, huge Yorkshire puddings and crackling on... read more pork roast. We also had a few puds which were very yummy. Friendly staff and good service. Overall a great experience.

  Just need a night out of the kitchen, work long hours staring at a laptop. Very cool to have such quality food delivered. Forward thinking, thanks Ben and the entire... read more team Yummmmm
