"Decided to try the Groupon thing out only because I got a further 20% discount. It was barely worth it. The grounds and frontage are lovely. The reception area is ok. The bar area worn and the orangery wants some major roof repair works and cleaning. You look up there's damp patches holes and plaster bubbling. Furniture in the bar area badly worn, carpets no comment. So, we were shown to our table. Table linen clean and tidy. Pity the surrounding tables were or had been left with leftovers. Even the breakfast serving table had left over beans still stuck to it it was 3pm.... The delivery of the cake stand with sandwiches and cakes it was quite good actually. Fresh. Chilled. Very enjoyable. We had tea coffee and prosecco. Must say the stand alone quality of food and beverage was good I thought. Pity the surroundings are borderline dreadful. Overall the experience was average. I knew it wasn't gong to be fantastic so my expectation level was set perfectly. Given that. I was neither impressed nor disappointed. I would neither recommend nor return for this experience. For what was paid via Groupon, it was worth it. Around £16 for 2 including Prosecco. A final note. The location is gearing up for the annual wedding fayre nonsense. I have to say given the interior condition it would be the last place Id chose for an event such as that. We were going to ask to see rooms but given the state of the orangery we didn't bother. The staff were reasonably attentive and friendly."

"me and my partner ordered from here a good few times with orders costing £32-£60 something. we order through just eat and never had a problem, food was nice no complaints on the food but... and this is not just rising sun, as i said we ordered on the just eat app for some reason it changed our address we saw it as it was about to get delivered, we phoned up rising sun to say that it had the wrong address on it, it had already been delivered, we knocked on the address it had meant to have gone to and they said yes they came but we turned it down saying we didn't order it, the lady on the phone at rising sun had said that was right and was delivered to another address, next door. My point here is why wasn't we phoned when the first place turned it down. the lady on the phone even said that it was delivered to the address on the ticket when she herself knew it wasn't she told us where it had been supposedly delivered but the people that live there are not in so even tho it had an address they delivered it to a completely different address not the one on the ticket. As for just eat they are a waste of time trying to get hold of. So sum it up rising sun use the excuse it's just eats problem and just eat well good luck trying to get somewhere with them rising sun and just eat lost a customer today. in the end they should have phoned our number to simple ask what address when the family they tried to deliver to turned it away."

"Visited early doors, in fact there were no other customers in when we arrived. The older chap was at the counter when we arrived and we said hello to him as we came in, and confirmed our booking. The younger waiter joined him and we all said hello to him, a greeting which went unanswered. He showed us to our table without speaking to us and came back with the menus before we 'd even got our coats off. The tone for the evening was set then. He took our drinks order, answering impatiently when we asked what beer they had on. When he came to take our food order he glowered at us throughout and interrupted when we were ordering. Couldn 't bring himself to say please or thank you at all. Conversely, he was charm itself with a table of three women who had by now come into the restaurant, laughing away. I 'm not sure what his issue with us was the only thing I can think of was that he took exception to our wearing masks when we entered the place (we took them off when we sat down of course): the older waiter also seemed out of sorts, but he can be moody anyway. After he served the popadoms, which were damp but warm, as if they 'd been microwaved from frozen, the younger waiter seemed to twig that we weren 't happy with his attitude he may even have heard us say he wouldn 't be getting a tip. In any case, he managed to squeeze out a thank you . Too late, by then the evening was spoiled for us. Main course was served, OK but nothing spectacular we finished our drinks and went. I 've been coming to the Red Rose for years with family and friends and never had service like this. I won 't be coming back."
