"We went to the Rising Sun for a family Sunday lunch. We were seated in the conservatory, we asked if we could sit out on the deck but this is not possible if you’re having Sunday lunch. The sun was shining directly in my in-laws faces, when we asked if the blind could be lowered the waitress asked her manager who said this couldn’t be done. The alternative table we were offered was too small for our party of five to be seated comfortably so we elected to stay put. The Sunday lunch was ok, though the quantity of meat and roast potatoes for the price was not particularly generous, especially for those of us who had beef. The thin pieces of beef were reminiscent of school dinners. We decided to have a two course lunch with pudding. We had quite a long wait before the puddings we ordered arrived. My husband enjoyed his strawberry cheesecake but I was disappointed with the Eton Mess because it was about 60% crème fraiche, 29% compote and 1% meringue. The crumble seemed like it had been microwaved and had very little flavour. Service was attentive but slow, the group at the next table had been waiting for their starter for a while when the manager told them it would be a couple of minutes; they still hadn’t arrived by the time we left. The manager was quite dogmatic, shouting across the room at his staff. We had only gone there because of the view and would not go there again to eat."

Absolutely furious. A lovely pub now spoilt by 'card only payments ' and as I 'm awaiting a new card I can 't eat here. Will not be coming again.

Fabulous food and interesting wine list. Great service and presentation. Suggest you eat inside. The pods and covering outside make it look more Glastonbury . Inside near the fire has a great ambience

The location is beautiful, the views are stunning, the food not so great, prawn cocktail 3 prawns, picnic boards were lacklustre, belly pork bites tasty but small portions, vegetarian burger which was quite tasty, roast chicken breast was tasty and tender- the food was a little disappointing

We stayed with a couple of Motorhome’s by prior arrangement. Lovely sunset and deck. Then came Into eat. Pub food done well. Drank loads of a good local beer and a few bottles of wines. Not overly expensive. Owner has engaging and Interesting. Clearly working very hard to make something of the business. We will return. Not only for the view but because people trying hard and working hard in local pubs need support.

Best Sunday lunch we’ve had in a long time. Beef cooked perfectly, one of the party wanted well done beef rather than medium and this was no issue. Belly pork was incredible and the veg was fresh and lots of it. Loved the way it all came out on a board. Quite pricey but everywhere is the same at the moment and we didn’t mind paying the price for the quality of the meal. Staff were friendly, seating area inside the pub felt nice and cosy. Would definitely return.

From the personal greeting as the owner came out to meet us, to the perfect service, to the excellent food and the outstanding views over the vale, this lunch was faultless. Nothing too much trouble! I always say that a great Sunday lunch is all about the meat the roast beef was perfect! Pink in the middle, meltingly tender and plentiful couldn't have done better myself. The vegetables were beautifully cooked with more than enough even for the hungriest of people, we really couldn't have got a better meal anywhere. Highly recommend!

The whole area is beautiful, the views as you sit in the garden are some of the best you could see anywhere. There were dogs in the garden and it was a beautiful sunny day. I totally understand why they have an outdoor menu but feel most people would prefer a few fries and a great sandwich for lunch. A group of and we ordered different items but eating cauliflower off a tray is not really what I had in mind for The Vegan burger was dry and tasteless. It isn't about the price but they could do so much better I even think the tray for burgers, may work.

Upon our arrival, we were shown to our table and seated. The drinks orders were taken quickly but they took at least 20 minutes to come. We ordered a roast sharing board. We had been at our table for over an hour before the first course came out the staff didn't apologise or seem interested. When our food finally arrived, we asked for some salt and were given sachets of salt that was congealed in the packet. Yet, another table had been given salt and pepper grinders (they also had all their courses before us and arrived after us). We didn't get asked about whether we wanted anymore drinks when our glasses were empty so we ended up having to go to the bar as it was quicker. We decided to orde...

The building was cold and draughty, not helped by two doors being left open, although it was a busy time, everything seemed very rushed in terms of service and the manager seemed abrupt at times. The food itself was most disappointing, nothing was hot, probably not helped by being served on a wooden board we won’t make that mistake again, the quality of the beef was good but the vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy were very poor. The potatoes were hard and tasted unpleasant, they had definitely been reheated, possibly over reheated and then let get cold again. The parsnips and carrots also had that reheated taste and texture. The medley of veg red cabbage, kale and a broccoli gratin were...
