The atmosphere is effortlessly cosy, with exposed brickwork, soft lighting, and a welcoming bar area where locals and visitors alike gather. The charming interior is both rustic and contemporary, making it ideal for a laid-back meal, while the new outdoor terrace provides a perfect spot for a pint in the warmer months.
Start your meal with the indulgent pork belly bao buns and crispy salt and pepper squid with tartare sauce. The bao buns are soft and pillowy, stuffed with tender pork belly that’s been slow-cooked to perfection, offering a melt-in-your-mouth experience. The salt and pepper squid, perfectly crispy and seasoned just right, comes with a tangy tartare sauce – a delicious way to kick off your meal.
For the main course, The Rising Sun has a classic yet elevated selection that’s sure to satisfy. The aged beef burger, topped with burger sauce, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, is a crowd-pleaser. Juicy and packed with flavour, it’s served with a side of perfectly crispy fries.
Alternatively, the 8oz rib-eye steak is a carnivore’s dream. Cooked to your liking, the steak is tender and full of flavour, complemented by grilled tomato, field mushroom, and thick-cut chips. The rich peppercorn sauce adds a velvety finish, elevating the dish into something truly special.
For dessert, the apple and rhubarb crumble with proper custard is the perfect sweet ending. The crumble topping is perfectly golden and crisp, while the combination of tart rhubarb and sweet apple delivers a comforting and balanced flavour.
Each night brings something special: Burger Mondays to kick off the week, Quiz Night and Tapas Tuesdays, Ribs Wednesdays, Steak Night on Thursdays, and hearty Sunday Roasts to round it all off. Whether you’re enjoying a pint with friends or settling in for a Sunday roast, it’s a spot that feels like home – only with much better food!
