fantastic good food good service nice people

Yet another great meal for 5 and 2 kids, don't know how they do it in such a small kitchen, but they do and everything was perfect!

Went for dinner this evening with our little girl, we asked the waitress if she wouldn't mind doing our order quickly so that we didn't wait to long (as little lady was a madam) & they were great. Food was quick and nice and the waitress was very observant when we finished to hurry things along. 2nd visit and both times been good, I didn't get the waitresses name but hopefully this will be passed on to her. Thank you.

Well kept beer, good food at reasonable prices and friendly atmosphere.

We went on sunday last minute, phoned them and they set a table for us, service was lovely as was the food, sunday roast beef was the best with a huge yorkshire pudding, really lovely.

We had a really nice meal ,in comfortable surroundings ,

Two well cooked and plentiful meals at a good price. Recommendations:

Lambs liver & bacon



Ham, egg and chips

This is our regular, the food is amazing, especially recommend their big chunky chips. Also a great atmosphere with very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommended!!!

Thanks for a lovely meal this evening :-)

One of my favourite places it to not too pricey and incredibly yummy food not to mention lovely service �

Lovely typical British Pub,what makes it so great is that it's dog friendly.I came yesterday lunch time with my friend Rob and his Wife Jackie and we sat with our dogs and had a lovely relaxing Lunchtime meal and a drink.

I love the rising sun, the food is spot on and everything is perfect, I've been there a few times, the waiters, we have good chats too

I go to the Rising Sun especially for the Braised Beef in Red Wine! I have now eaten it 6 times as it's absolutely delicious and I introduced a few people to the dish and they also can't get enough of it! The food is great! Hats of to the chief!

Had beautiful braised steak tonight will definitely be back . Staff friendly service fast really enjoyed

Great food, reasonable prices, friendly and polite staff.

Great food great place never had a bad meal food always good

Great food and ale (and value) recommended !

Food good. Staff always helpful. Good value for money.

Food and good selection of real ales. Excellent staff

First time visiting I went to the beer festival. Staff were awesome. Prices were great and the scotch eggs were amazing. Definitely recommend to anyone.

Exellent food decent price's friendly staff good night

Best cheesesteak in this area hands down! Great food great staff!

Beer festival this weekend bring it on .in this lovely little pud

Arrived all tables taken but still found us a table well worth it great food vibe was a music night all good

excellent food and service. Friendly staff who are keen to satisfy their customers. Plenty of space to move around and dog friendly for those of us with furry friends.

I enjoyed the Sicilian chicken and can confirm it was authentic as I have been to Sicily and tasted their Sicilian chicken. Good sized portion and great taste.

Very nice food...good service; very polite staff... ... toilets could do with sorting though...am sure regulars will know what I mean!!

There for the start of their Beer Festival. Don't think they were expecting many people to come to the Lunch time session because only one person to run two bars! However she did a good job and was involved in serving food as well. A good range of beers on though a few were more common. All in good condition. Had lovely liver and bacon. Bit disappointed the legendary Scotch Eggs were not on.

The food was lovely but the waiting for it was looooooong

Nice place - part of Old English Innsth. We go there now and then to take the Mother-in-law to lunch. Views over the local countryside are great.

My first impression was a bit tired decor,tables could do with re varnishing.The,service was a bit slow,but when the food came it was homemade and lovely with good portion sizes. We would go again .

Lovely food nice friendly pub well worth a visit

Good friendly atmosphere, food delicious, staff welcoming, defiantly recommend this lovely place.

Food is

Brilliant proper pub grub , but the place could do with a little spruce up now , I know for a fact it put people off coming .

Which is a shame ,

Bit slow in taking our order and then had to wait half hour for meal to be served but other than friendly staff

Always have a good meal here. Luckily we are just a few steps away, so take many friends over there when they are visiting us. Staff very friendly too.

A great village pub full of good food and good vibes! Update the loos and this review becomes a 5 star!
