Lovely place. Looks like it has had a recent refurb. Excellent beers and wines. Extensive food menu too. We both ate well and the prices were reasonable. Charming staff too. Recommended

Lovely starter and main. Plentiful portions at a reasonable price. Visited while on holiday but would definitely recommend. I believe they are starting a Tuesday Night Curry Evening each week which I am sure would live up to expectations.

I really don't want to be writing this review because the whole village wants a good pub in the community. We'll come back for a snack and drink but will skip the meals in the future. We can see that the new owner is really trying but it just misses the mark.

When we sat down, the bar-tender was lovely and took our order. There were only three other people in the pub making the place feel empty. The tables and bar are sticky. It seems like there is an epoxy resin that's never cured or something is going on but it's off-putting. The ambience in the place is just cold and odd. It needs booths or some warmer colours or more people at midday on a Saturday afternoon.

The drinks were fine and our camembert starter was nice with it's normal lacklustre side salad. The real disappointment were the mains. My cajun chicken burger was dry and stringy. The fries were good, crispy but unsalted. My partner is veggie and his main - veggie sausages, mash, carrots and broccoli- looked unappetising and anemic. It looked like his broccoli had been prepared three days ago by my late grandmother (god rest her soul) who boiled vegetables to death.

I know we can't expect Michelin star food at the local pub but we expect a reason to not eat at home and unfortunately the Rising Sun isn't giving us one 🫣😥

First time going back after the pandemic, pretty sad. Very quiet and feels empty and abandoned. Everything was sticky, food was pretty mediocre, could cook better at home.

A wonderful assest to our village, we are so fortunate to have 'The Rising Sun'. What an amazing landlord & team! The best location for a party too, with fab food - topped with karaoke! Thank you 5⭐️
