Restaurant at The Rising Sun in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Birthday meal with friends. Lovely setting. On being seated, we were immediately told about 3 dishes that weren’t available on the menu. We ordered about 10 minutes later, to then be told that the mussels weren’t available either. The waitress looked bored and dis-interested throughout service. The waiter spent most of his evening sat at the bar chatting to the barman. My meal was delivered about 5 minutes after the other 6 meals, and I was told it took longer “because the chef was making it perfect for me” (really?!). We found it very hard to attract the staff’s attention for more wine/water. The redeeming feature was that the food was excellent: tasty and generous portions.

Have eaten here twice in a week - the service and food are exceptional. Have 2 gluten free friends with us and they said it was some of the best GF food they have ever had!

Called in here a few times for drinks! Nice bar, friendly staff

Really lovely pub, great interior and plenty of outdoor seating. Fantastic food, 2 courses for £20. great staff. Dog friendly and treats!

Wonderful experience. Great venue. Excellent accommodation. Food outstanding. Staff were excellent, friendly and couldn't do enough for you.

Rising sun,St Mawes went there wiv the in-laws from Falmouth as they were down from London visiting for a few days so decided to get the ferry ⛴️ over to St Mawes just for a change of seniory and we ended up going to the rising sun 🌄 for a few drinks. We been here before by the way and as always it was great lovely staff excellent pub well recommended next time we go over we will try the cuisine dog friendly too so great day.

Just had a lovely Sunday Roast at Rising Sun, St Mawes. Due to the stormy weather this weekend, our travel plans changed and we arrived early (um, about 4 hours early!) and the staff were so accommodating. Although they were fully booked, they managed to find us a table, being totally flexible, and made us feel very much at home. Nothing was too much trouble and they truly looked after us. We would certainly recommend and look forward to visiting again. Thanks so much for your great service and delicious food x

Torched Goats Cheese Salad is delicious. Service was excellent. Benjamin the waiter was most helpful.

Ben was wonderful, looked after us really well, we feel spoilt and thoroughly enjoyed the meal and view

Great spot for a cup of tea or a pint. Friendly service.

Good location with a stunning view of Falmouth estuary from the conservatory. Service was hit and miss....slow service. Water was sent to another table. Had to be re requested. There was an air of arrogance from some of the servers... not usually seen in provincial restaurants in pubs. The food was good ... but not spell binding. A place, feeling very highly of itself, with an unusual arrogance displayed. Seen only in pretentious eateries in London, who are over arching in their designs. Which can overshadow the eating experience 🤔 sadly. I would recommend eating else where. There is either a long drive or a ferry crossing to St Maws via the mainland. Water taxi or ferry crossings from Falmouth This is a good place to sit outside with a drink 🍸 😋 and soak up the views. Also, a smoking section is outside, too. In summary £30 + a head for lunch is reasonable in a pub with good views this is the place for you.

Significantly exceeded expectations! Hotel is beautiful and comfortable, food was delicious, and the staff incredibly helpful and kind. Highly reccomend!

Lovely staff, great atmosphere innthe pub, good choice of drinks, local made and national brands.

Lovely food and pub in general however, visited three times over a week and the service overall was below standard angry serving staff much prefer the sailing club!

Great place, great food but very expensive beer and wine (London Price).

Delicious food, perfect service, beautiful location

We had very nice roast on Sunday with family. Portion are big and there are variety of options. Would recommend kale tart with roast vegetables. Very tasty amd healthy. They also offer kids menu with different option and desserts. Staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Called in for a late lunch and the food was fantastic. I had a burger & it was the best one I've had in the UK (we have been travelling for 7 weeks).My husband loved his fish and chips. Our server was friendly and very efficient.

Excellent selection of beers and a great meal again we also sat in the window seat so iceing on the cake will be back soon

Beautifully located with a view down the Percuil River & across the harbour. Can be busyh at lunchtime on a sunny day, and indeed it was. We booked a table online to be assured a place. Seated in the conservatory it was bright and warm. The menu is varied and as local as possible. Service is friendly and efficient. There are draught and pression beers/lagers and a good selection of wines. The experience was a good one.

Lovely food and great service. Prices were reasonable also

Nice cozy pub, with good beer options and seats with good views.

We had lunch outside in the most beautiful sunshine. The man was top notch and we enjoyed the time we were guests. Beautiful view, calm and cozy atmosphere and everything was top notch. Are you looking for a good place in St. Mawes then try Rising Sun.

Came here with the family in late June/Early July on a ferry day trip. All ordered a pint of Tribute and then sat outside overlooking the harbour. Many pints of Tribute later, thanks to the wonderful and unexpected lady outside providing table service, we left merry and surprisingly happy with having spent so little. Would definitely recommend and will be going back when down that way.

Fabulous place stayed for one night lovely welcome on arrival the staff and management are a real credit to the business nothing to much trouble will definitely stay again.

Second time I’ve stayed here, rooms are nicely decorated and they have a comfortable bed for a good nights sleep. The breakfast is very good and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

On a day trip from Falmouth, we popped in for a few glasses of pinot grigio. Friendly staff and great wine.

Had dinner at rising sun Sunday 19th May 2024 at 6.30pm .food very average bordering poor. The chicken Sunday roast looked like it had sat under the hot plate all afternoon . The goats cheese salad was just ok, had to contend with flys flying around our food & faces . Surely you can invest on a fly zapper . Not a pleasant experience all in all . Such a shame as location is beautifull.

Busy place with good views. Good food and service.

Just had Sunday lunch! Stunning, Great Staff, Thank you Ben and ladies. Location fabulous food awesome and lovely staff. Thank you to the chef and kitchen staff, cos not many thank them. They are the unsung heroes. Best sunday lunch we have had In such a long time..already re booked for October.

Gorgeous and very clean. Staff friendly and helpful.

The food was excellent, and the waiting staff very caring of my sister's food intolerance - very important for her to stay well this weekend as her son is getting married in Lamorran Gardens.

Booked for breakfast as outside guests. Great setting with picturesque views of St Mews, friendly service and delicious locally sourced produce. Definitely worth going.

We had a really lovely meal at The Rising Sun while our family were visiting. The staff were friendly, we had a great table in the conservatory, the drinks were nice, the food was good, especially the mussels and fish dishes. We thought the veg/vegan options could have been better. We would definitely come back. It was a highlight of their trip down here and a lovely day out on the boat trip from Falmouth.

A lovely pub for a relatively cheap pint. Nice little beer garden out the front and happy, friendly staff.

Travelling for work to St Mawes and hotel was perfect. Room was warm and comfortable and the staff were all so friendly and accommodating. Had a 3 night stay and eat in the restaurant every night. Food was great too!

Love the boat ride across my dog was not sure about it

Visited the Castle up the road so thought we would check the town out, came hear as the place was heaving very busy me made it just in time for lunch, service was great from the manager everyone else seemed stressed and busy, food was really nice and tasty only issue was my lamb shoulder was stone cold in the middle but husband really enjoyed his steak, took a while to get anyone to take our payment aswell maybe 20 minutes but apart from that it was fine I'd definitely go again!

Really fantastic stay for a 2 night break! Everything was perfect! Our room was luxurious and had a view over to the sea! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were so friendly and accommodating! We did a 2 for 1 night offer and also took advantage of the have 5 pints and get one free and 2glasses of wine and have the rest of the bottle! Would we do it again if we had to pay full price? We probably wouldn’t only as we couldn’t afford it! But good idea to have locals stay in the winter months and have full occupancy! We had a really lovely time in a beautiful place! Also, extremely dog friendly! Well done everyone!

Excellent meal and not overpriced. Super service, friendly waitress made us feel very welcome.

Dined here 4 times over the last 2 weeks. We were able to book tables online. Really nice modern setting. Staff very efficient and very friendly. The food was really nice. A varied menu, plus a good Sunday roast. Nice selection of wine and beer. Nothing to dislike.
