Great Father's Day Sunday lunch.

Nice pub. Lovely Sunday Roast and great staff. We sat outside (which wasn't a problem) because the music inside wasn't really our taste. The Hop Union Beer was lovely.

Best pub in the area. The hop union beers are gorgeous, there's locals aplenty, there's an oldstyle skittles alley at the back that can be used and the roast is amongst the best I've had. Have a sit on the walls and enjoy a beer there, you won't be disappointed

We shared a whitebait starter, which was fresh and delicious. We both ordered fish and chips. The fish was delicious, fresh and batter amazing, however, the chips were awful!

Had a pie on pie night. Chicken bacon and leek. Absolutely fabulous loads of filling scrumptious chips fabulous veg and amazing gravy. One of the best pies. Would like to have some blinds so you don't see the smokers outside.

High quality roast with friendly service at a very reasonable price. Slightly disappointing to see that the only baby change is in the women’s toilet.

Sunday lunch for 9, not disappointed, mainly had Sunday roast. Food delicious. Desserts great too. Can honestly say the best Sunday lunch meal out for a long time. Well done Rising Sun!

Ten of us visited for a family dinner for my daughters 18th, fabulous food and great service, can't speak highly enough of the Sunday roast menu which was delicious. Great venue and value for money too. Definitely worth a visit.

Great pub. Excellent food, excellent beer and excellent service. Thoroughly recommended.

popped in for a drink - great village atmosphere

Great atmosphere and staff. Unfortunately gristled gammon otherwise would have been full house. Will visit again

Absolutely fantastic pub, great local ales (hop union formerly Great western brewery), good pub food, friendly locals and plenty of good dogs about too! Situated in the perfect position to be the start/middle/end of many a stunning south Gloucestershire walk!

Lovely dog friendly country pub with welcoming staff and nice cosy atmosphere

Dropped in for lunch, easy to park, not far from Yate, warm welcome, quick service, good food, very reasonable. Far better than trying to find somewhere to eat in Yate. Recommended.

Lovely night with Daz and the crowd at the Riser tonight , great atmosphere, good to see the youngsters out with their mum's and Dad's ,,

First time visiting this traditional lovely pub for Sunday lunch with friends. Made to feel extremely welcome by all the staff. We had 3 roast dinners and a nut roast. The food was excellent, large portions of top quality fresh food. I would recommend this pub and will definitely be returning.

Great ales,food and atmosphere can't ask for more

Recently had a roast on a Sunday and had a 3 course Meal… all 3 courses were spot on! Apple toffee crumble was delicious. Wednesday night - pie night was 10/10 stunning food just can’t fault it, so tasty and amazing value. Even the carrots were epic. Thankyou 😍 will be back soon for another pie.

We had dinner last night and was involved with the charity pub quiz night. The mushroom stroganoff which was a special was absolutely incredible and my partner loved the burger and the added additions to it such as the red slaw. Portion sizes were very big.

Nothing wrong with the food but the service was appalling. Ate our main course, waited for someone to come and take dessert order, no one came. Decided to skip dessert and just have coffee. Went to bar to order. Young man wasn't sure if coffee machine was still on.( 9:10 ) Decided it was. After waiting 20 mins drinks finally came. Drinks were not very warm and I was told the machine wouldn't do my latte. They appear to be more interested in the people in the bar than customers eating. Will certainly not be going back.

Had the faggots, they were okay but a bit too seasoned. Mash was average, veg was good. Better than average pub grub but nothing to shout about. Nice staff though, friendly and attentive.

Quite frankly outstanding! I simply do not understand why/how we have lived in Stoke Gifford for 38 years without discovering this 1st class pub/eatery until now when it was recommended by a friend.

Another amazing roast today, thank you so much! One of our all time favourites - highly recommend. Great food, wonderful staff and a fab atmosphere

Cannot fault the food but can fault the service. Very pleasant young man serving us. We waited a long time for him to appear to take food order. Food was lovely. After someone finally cleared plates nobody came back to ask if we wanted dessert. Finally decided to skip dessert and order coffee. Again on one appeared. We went to the bar and asked for coffee. Guy wasn't too sure if machine was still on. It was but when he brought it through to us it was luke warm and not nice. I had ordered a latte which I never got. We waited for something to come and take money. That didn't happen either. We paid at the bar. Disappointed as it was my friends birthday treat and it was very much spoilt by the lack of service. They seemed to be more interested in the people in the bar. We will mot be going back.

Their own brewed beer is good! Also serving delicious food. I tried their pie, you would love it~ Although it took some time to wait for the food, it’s worth👍🏻👍🏻

Best roast dinner in Bristol, and we've been hundreds of places "testing" out the roasts!!

Such a gem. Lovely to see so many locals in. Beer excellent well kept. Food excellent as well. Lovely see a skittle Hall also a piano in the bar area for those inclined. A must visit

A proper pub. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Beer was excellent. I will be back soon.

A little longer than usual to wait for our food, but it was well worth it for the meat eaters. All fresh vegetables, good sized roasters, nice amount of meat and great tasting gravy. Daughter's nut roast not very good though, odd taste and very slimy. She didn't enjoy it at all. They redeemed themselves with the pudding selections. Definitely worth another visit.

Beautiful pub restaurant. The food was delicious and tasty. It looked nice and tasted great. Definitely worth a trip.

We all had lovely meals the three of us,good service,lovely in the conservatory, what's not to like well done, certainly be back.

Not easy to find somewhere that can provide meat, veggie and vegan options but the menu here manages it. Sunday roast menu had a good range, we had pork belly, nut roast & veggie sausage roasts (the veggie sausage one is advertised as “small roast” but we asked for normal size. Homemade pies of the day were tasty (steak or broccoli and stilton) and a decent portion of fish and chips. Great range of accompanying veg including cauliflower cheese and red cabbage. As we had booked a table for 9 at their last sitting for food on a Sunday (5.30) they rang and asked us to pre-order food and this meant that everything was quick and accurate. Desserts were delicious, biscoff cheesecake, fudge chocolate and biscoff sundaes. Only vegan pudding option was sorbet but otherwise good selection including over 10 icecream flavours.

Didn't realise there would be live singer/music , difficult to hold a conversation in the restraunt

Great as always, roast dinner was just what the doctor ordered - Sunday Best always goes down well!!

Packed local pub, great atmosphere, more a pub than a restaurant in my opinion.

Nice little find in a residential area. My husband said the beer was too nice and he had fight the urge to down his pint quickly. The consevatory restaurant area is nice and light and comfortable. We had Himalayan steak which we all agreed was delicious. This photo is minus the mushrooms which should come with it. I don't like mushrooms, but I loved the chips!

Opted for the Himalayan steak, however, it was very tough for a medium rare steak, compared to one served here 3 weeks ago!! Menu selection was very good and specials board updated as service progressed. Fantastic choice of beer from Hop Union, with Maiden Voyage a favourite.

Love the skittles lane. And great beers!!!

Very good food , one of the beslt pub food i ever had. Higjly recommend the pull apart pork burger with sweet potato fries and fried halloumi cheese

Tonight after a week's holiday went to our local for a drink. Hunger set in and it was pie night. Omg so glad we didn't get a takeaway. We had a homemade beef pie, amazing Pastry gorgeous veg and chipped potatoes. Lashings of gravy. What can I say. The best pie in frampton and to be greeted by Rhian was an absolute delight.

Lovely friendly country type pub with a good choice of food freshly cooked and served with a lovely choice of vegetables. Nice selection of unusual and popular desserts. Friendly and efficient staff made this a memorable occasion and we will certainly return!

Ok for a village pub, friendly enough, reasonable but steep car park could do with a freshen up inside

Rising sun in Frampton Cotterell, the service is great and the waiters/waitresses are very polite and helpful, the music selection is exceptional. We had a great time, we would definitely recommend to others.

I went here today for Sunday lunch. The Sunday Best is a must! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Cajun chicken I had was over cooked Sweet potatoes over cooked .spoke to the manager he wasn't interested not going back

Edit from a previous negative experience below !! * I am highly disappointed from my recent booking today 5-3/23 at 12pm. My gf booked online for 2 persons. We were seated in the dining room , not the conservatory which was kinda ok initially although the decor felt like a holiday inn room. The Meal came quickly yet we were expected to share 1 tiny platter of veg and a small ramekin of cauliflower cheese, thought the server would bring the next portion of veg but nothing came . How is a single meal the same veg and cauliflower cheese for a couple when it’s double the price ? My dinner was not enough of a portion either. If this wasn’t bad enough that our dinner wasn’t fully equipped we had the whole football team next to us drinking eating crisps , swearing , shouting , my girlfriend being pregnant is not something I want to be around or expect when having a roast dinner in a dining area. Not once did the server offer to move us , check on us ( my dinner needed more gravy , where as my partners was swimming in it ), we were just left there. I couldn’t even speak to my partner during our whole meal and couldn’t wait to leave. The ambience was of a social club not a family dining. This was our first time and we are local residents and will not be returning or recommending. I would of complained whilst I was there but I just couldn’t wait to leave and the bar server wouldn’t of been able to hear me and I didn’t fancy shouting across the bar to explain my dissatisfaction. (We had to fight our way through the people at the bar drinking and queuing to get anyone’s attention and pay) I paid £34.35 for this disaster. If you are out with mates then it’s ok to drink but with a partner or kids avoid like the plague *Update* Since this review they reached out and offer to sit us for free. We attended today and were sat in the conservatory part !! This made a massive difference - the customer service was awesome and the food and atmosphere was much better !! Based off this experience I would now recommend this place and will come again with my partner ! Thanks it really shows that you care about the customers !

Good value midweek lunch. Service a bit slow. No atmosphere as pub was empty..

Pleasant village pub with excellent value food. Good portions of veg served in open airy extension with traditional Sunday roast. Good, fairly extensive parking.

Absolutely loving pie night. Went last week and going again this week.

Really tasty midweek lunch, pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommended

The food was very good we had a Sunday roast and it was delicious

Family outing (grandparents and children) to the Rising Sun. Good lunch time menu. Food was delicious, very reasonable and service was spot on. With the right amount of help and very welcoming. Very easy and enjoyable lunch out. We will be returning.

Nice pub, friendly staff and serves good food. I was with a party of 6 and was seated in the conservatory and we all had Sunday roasts which were very good. Also, a good selection of beer/ales available.

We had a meal here tonight. It was excellent as was the service. We come here regularly for a drink and occasionally for a meal. It is a great pub run by an excellent, friendly young couple.

Went for Sunday lunch, even though it was quite full, we got served in a reasonable time, staff cheerful and helpful. The food was very nice, I will go again

As lovely as ever. Friendly bar Lady too

Sunday lunch to die for 1st class great selection of beers great service.

Fantastic staff and great food. Definitely we'll be coming back. 👌

This used to be a nice pub but recently it has become very noisy . There are a couple of extremely loud groups that regularly hang around the bar using foul language which is not pleasant for the other customers.

My favourite pub,really nice relaxed atmosphere, the food is really good too.

Staff and regulars very friendly and made us very welcome

Very good pub for drinks and meals. Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

We had 2 beef and red wine pies. I have to say one of the best pies we have ever had. Home made with large chunks of beef, with tiny sweet shallots and the best beef gravy. This was accompanied with sweet honey roasted carrots and beautifully cooked broccoli and chips. A faultless meal. It deserves more than 5 stars.

absolutely dsgusting, it was dry and so salty barely edible. If it wasnt for the fact my son was treating me to a meal out I would have complained bitterly. When asked by the server how the meal was I told him it was far too salty. I was told he would relay my comments to the chef and that was the last we heard of it, no apology or compensation offered. I consider this to be extremely poor service and would not recommend anybody to try anything other than their sunday roasts which are apparently exceptional.

Visited them for a lunch. Absolutely amazing service and delicious food. Can't recommend them enough, so happy with everything. If in the neighbourhood and pondering where to have a meal or a drink, definitely should try this place.

Great food great beer great service. You can't ask for any more.

Excellent Sunday roast and very good brownie w/ custard. A bit out of the standards, but very good!!!

We had a family get together here. The staff were very polite and the service amazing. Everyone enjoyed their meal, it was delicious.

Some things missing from the menu but the food we had was lovely. Fabulous pint of Maiden Voyage beer - local brewery. Friendly and helpful staff.

Visited with family for a Sunday lunch birthday celebration. Everyone was impressed with the roast dinner. Plenty of meat and large portions of roast potatoes and veg were delivered along with plenty of gravy. Would definitely go back

Nice pub with nice food. Recommend the pies.

We visited here as a family and enjoyed the great Sunday Roast . We ordered a full dinner each and it arrived in about 10 minutes. The food was hot and very tasty so we all enjoyed it .

We went there for some food, but food only on a sunday.

Great atmosphere and great beers. Well worth a visit.

Proper village pub, good Ale, nice people 👍

Fatty meat for the Sunday roast and dirty cutlery 🤢 🤮

Best pub in Frampton. Amazing service, just a great local

This pub was recemmended to me by a friend. We booked a table in the conservatory which was light and airy. Good British food, decent helpings and a sensible price. Highly recomended.

Food and service were great, excellent place to stop en-route to Wales. The Meat Feast pizza was particularly nice.

Lovely old village pub Good Ales Good food Beautiful roast dinners

Excellent service and excellent beer

Amazing service we brought 6 drinks in total shamefully the first 4 came back as the halfs when we paid for the standard but ordered 2 more but got the pint

Sunday roasts are one of the best, if not the best in the area!

Great friendly service and take covid rules seriously. Had Sunday roast and it was excellent. The pub has their own brewery in Hambrook and serve a good selection of their own real ales. A shame they now have to shut for a while, but we'll be back as soon as they reopen.

Fantastic food,service and atmosphere.We came here for my son's birthday and it was just perfect.

Excellent Grill Night 😋 lovely cosy local pub!

Food was really good more restaurant quality than pub

A Great sunday Roast great service And lovely food at a very competaive price

Quick service, lovely food.. I had steak, sister opted for chicken and leek pie.. reasonable priced too

Have been to the Riser many times over the last 3yrs and the food / choices have been fantastic. However went twice in a fortnight about a month ago and to say we were disappointed would be an understatement. Their renowned triple cooked chips were poor the other meals were just OK as was the choices on offer, only one special on offer one evening at 6.30pm was a fillet steak at £28, you would pay that at San Carlo but come on this is a pub in the suburbs. We love the Riser so PLEASE someone get the kitchen sorted !!

Good food only problem was they wouldn't do garlic bread as a starter and I didn't like the other starters, the menu is quite small and had to wait 90 minutes for the main course as did everyone else

Great Sunday Lunch. 2 of us had the lamb and 2 the beef and we were all very happy with the meat and choice of vegetables.

Great Sunday lunch. Value for money, fresh and plenty of it. 100% recommend you try it for yourselves

Great local pub with good atmosphere

Lovely food great staff and service

Proper classic pub. Lovely beer and friendly staff. If you're in the area give The Rising Sun a visit.

Great social distancing in place, and a large carpark turned into a outside seating area

Went for a meal on a Friday night and it was very good...nice pub and very friendly staff

Good selection of beers good service

What fantastic food! And the beer from GWB was genius. Will definitely be coming back soon
