Rising Sun in Cheshire West and Chester

Nice for a casual lunch with friends

I didn't eat here, but a great place with a friendly, hospitable atmosphere!

The manager Will and his staff were absolutely faultless. The food was the best pub food we’ve had in years! Drinks, atmosphere and music festival was superb!

Great food and service, highly recommend The Rising Sun

A fabulous pub in Tarporly with wonderful food and a great atmosphere.

Beautiful village. Rising sun warm friendly and welcoming Food was lovely. New menu Worth a visit Nothing too much trouble for the amazing staff

Fab pub, this place has become our local. Great service, great food, great atmosphere, dog friendly. Perfect village pub, enjoy their nightly offers.

Good food and comfortable surroundings. Always happy to visit

Popped in on off chance for a meal for two with a cocker spaniel. Although very busy (good Friday) the meals ,service and staff were exceptional. Definitely recommend, special thanks to Amy and Josh . Mr Ron Price

Very pleasant Robinsons pub. Good menu and offers. Plenty of seating.

We had a lovely time - the food was delicious! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. My kids especially enjoyed their food and were warmly welcome. We had highly recommend this cosy pub!

Went for an early evening tea, everything was great!

Excellent lunch sat outside in the sun.

Lovely pub restaurant as we walked in we were made welcome . It was busy but service was spot on lovely atmosphere Food was all fresh and served Very quickly would diffently return

Great pub and food. Service from Mela was amazing

Lovely place with happy staff and reasonable prices.

Called in for a light lunch. Pleasant efficient staff with a nice atmosphere.the food, mezzo and sandwich, was very tasty

A nice place to have something to drink

Amazing food! Great service and lovely friendly atmosphere x even the dog was allowed x

Beautiful food, a lovely atmosphere, and great service. The young lady who waited on us was attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend!

We came for our evening meal on Friday, we were staying in a nearby hotel before attending a wedding on the Saturday. We had read some good reviews about The Rising Sun and we were looking forward to a nice meal in a country pub. We arrived and were seated, drinks and food order taken. Upon getting our food, the waitress came to the table, stood there and looked at the food and then looked at us. I had to say “I’m having the pasta” so she could put it down and give my Husband the other plate. Shocking customer service. When we were finished, they didn’t ask how the food was or if we wanted anything else. I then had to ask for the bill. When I asked, I didn’t even get a response or to be asked whether it’s cash or card. The waitress put the bill on the table and didn’t say anything and walked away. I then had to ask for the card machine which later appeared at the side of my shoulder 10 minutes later ready for me to scan my phone. I thought this was so rude and poor. How did the waitress know that I didn’t want to add more to the bill by way of a tip? How did she know that I didn’t want to query something on the bill. Overall, the customer service was absolutely appalling and we will not be returning or recommending. The food was also absolutely average. I wouldn’t waste your time or money.

Ordered lamb steak, was given rump steak. Queried it with waitress who checked with the kitchen who said it was lamb steak, it was not. Serving staff also not very friendly, not a single smile between them.

A pub in a good location serving food and drink to the reasonably high standard expected.

This was my first visit, had to ask three times for water, onion soup was amazing maina were nice what spoilt it was the children being allowed to run and shout which was down to there parents ,plus one waitress didn't seem to want to be there as she seemed miserable

Staff let this place down, food is lovely but I'd hate to go when it's busy. They're not BAD but they're overworked and understaffed which leads to people falling over each other. We ordered, then got asked to pay before the food arrived by another waitress, food took 40 mins and there was only 2 other tables occupied. We asked for drinks 2-3 times ourselves and she kept trying to bring the bill. It's not BAD but it's OK and I think for the money it's a little disappointing.

Come here quite a lot, always absolutely great food, drink and service. Particular shout out to Amy and Kateryna who are so friendly, polite and helpful :)

Great pub, good atmosphere and fantastic barstaff

Great spot for an informal lunch. They have a very extensive menu. Two of us had the steak pie with chips and vegetables. Lovely food, I was particularly impressed by the vegetables included - roast carrots, red cabbage and kale. Our daughter also enjoyed her crispy beef stir fry. Great to find a pub where they really care about the food that they serve.

My wife ordered the sticky beef salad which she had before and had to send it back as there was very little beef in it, this ruined her whole experience and she didn’t want anything else.

I had a lovely lamb tacos main course.

We all had a lovely time today, food excellent pies with free beer or wine I had scampi lovely and one of our party had small fish and chips Everything was piping hot and plenty of it Just have to do a shout out to Amy on the bar she was so busy lots of large tables booked in and she had quite a bit of hastle from customers wanting food quicker , she handled everyone so lovely and was so polite and courteous x

We booked for tea on fish and chip Wednesday. Two adults and our granddaughter. The bar area was a little busy when we walked in, but the young guy behind the bar went out of his way to make us feel very welcome. Service was great, attention to detail and the food arrived quickly. Excellent crispy fish and chips and just the right portions for us. Our granddaughter had the fudge cake for pudding, which she loved. Can't beat Robinson's beer, relaxed atmosphere when we were there at 5:30. Thanks again, we'll be back. Definitely recommend.

Really great atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely pub with fantastic Sunday roast, cosy atmosphere and dog friendly.

a few months ago me and my friends went for a causal drink at the rising sun and the main women who i assume is a manager were shouting at customers all night with lots of aggression. at one point she was serving a group of older people as i realised they all turned around to stare at us. we asked why they were staring and the worker comes back with a very rude tone saying you might want to take your “beef” out side. we replied saying we were only joking about and it was nothing serious as we weren’t causing any disruption. overall this women was very very rude and had no respect when speaking to customers.

Visited Tarporley many times, but have never eaten at the Rising Sun. Lovely atmosphere and space inside. Much better than trying to cram into the popular coffee shops! Food was generous and delicious. Service was quick and efficient. Will be returning !

Fish and chips , excellent , fish bigger then plate , hot , proper chips, Chicken stir fry, looked and tasted amazing Friendly staff Lovely atmosphere, Log fire 🔥 😍

Great food and service . Definitely return soon.

New years eve , and just to say how great the food and staff were and what was one of the busiest days of the year . I had the steak my wife the lamb and cooked perfectly. Been a few times now. Definitely recommend. Mr price

We are regular visitors and the food is always excellent. Lovely atmosphere in the pub and some really hard working members of staff.

Great beer, thanks for the hat!!!

Dog friendly great sauce on tap. Lovely little Robinsons pub that’s got a warming feel to the place. Cosy little tables to sup your pint when it’s busy outside. Great atmosphere with a real fire.

Lovely local pub, decor is nice makes it feel really cosy and the atmosphere is great, Caz looked after us she was very friendly she is like a breath of fresh air.

I have move to the Village 3 years ago and I have to say the Best Pub and the best Pub food ; is at the rising Sun . All the Staff including Josh, Ben, Matt, will, Demi Amy , harry, caz, are the best people that make the Pub a big family and a Beautiful Experience thank you !

Held our monthly committee meeting here. Great food and service! Will 100% be back.

Great local pub good atmosphere staff are brilliant up the. Matt

Great quiz night and unreal service by Ben, Mackenzie and Matt.

My favourite place to eat in Tarporley. Great food with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Thank you to Caroline the chef. Hope to be back soon

A fantastic country pub. I really enjoyed the food and was so happy to be able to thank Caroline Barrett, the chef. 5 stars all day long

Really great Sunday lunch. The kids had a great time too.

Staff were super friendly as always. Ben served me and was friendly and attentive.

Lovely food, nice atmosphere and friendly attentive staff

Great service, lovely food & atmosphere

Great Service, team were so friendly

Walked in for a drink with our dogs. So friendly we stayed for a meal. Very welcoming, staff were great, fish and chips Wednesday was perfect for us. Lovely pub and food. Would definitely re visit.

nice pub to visit good welcome food good service and drinks spot on famouslordhillmuseum Shropshire arrived for drinks were coming back soon

We popped in for drinks on Sunday afternoon. After a lovely pint of Guinness we both commented, that we felt the pub had a nice atmosphere. We are looking to move to Tarporley and we intend to return on a regular basis in the future. Hopefully for food next time. The food looked lovely as we watched the dishes come out the kitchen.

As good as it gets, the fish & chips was delicious and, on special offer on Wednesday too! Spoilt for choice in Tarporley but definitely go here if you want a great meal in a beautifully kept pub.

Went on a Wednesday evening & the fish & chips was on offer, absolutely delicious as was the cheesy garlic bread. Great service by our waitress (didn’t get her name) & the atmosphere in the pub was lovely. Would recommend & I’d definitely go again.

Amazing atmosphere, amazing food and great cider!

Stopped off here after a long walk to get some well deserved drinks and quick bite to eat.my Husband ordered a roast dinner and I ordered steak pie and chips, the chips were not cooked which was a little disappointing. But all in all ok. The price of the food was reasonable atmosphere well it was in the day so again ok. Clean and tidy pub so worth a stop off if you’re passing.

Always a great pub to stop off for a beer or coffee, inside or out plenty of seating choice

Greeted by friendly staff. I asked if they were serving food said yes but didn't offer a menu so I helped myself. We found a seat and food order was taken. Shared piri piri prawns starter actually very very nice and enough for 2 people nice chunk of toasted bread and very chilli hot divine. Mains a basic scampi and chips proper scampi and piri piri chicken kebabs flat breads lovely chips and salad plentiful amount and thoroughly enjoyed. Downside drinks expensive but will be visiting again.

Me and my partner came to visit from a nearby hotel and loved everything about it. We had Gambas pil piI for starters and, I had the chilli beef noodles and she had chilli beef salad. We both enjoyed it very much. The staff were very friendly also. Dog friendly.

This pub is a place we have frequently used over the last couple of years several times, our go to trusty place to take friends and family, this all came to an abrupt end on Sunday, we took a couple there for the the first time, one of them was celiac of which there was very little choice, she ordered Salmon but didn't wish to have the accompanying salad so asked for chips instead, on arrival of dish, the Salmon wasn’t much bigger than a fish finger and was also greasy and chips seemed tho be just thrown on to the plate……. I myself ordered Manchester Pie off the specials menu, only for the waitress to come back and unapologetically say they didn’t have this item, which was strange as we ate at 5pm and there hardly anyone else in the restaurant part, so not as if they should have sold out, very poor, unlikely to return, sorry to say!!

Brilliant food and friendly staff! Will definitely be returning 🙂

Lunch treat , the food was excellent, the salmon and the battery fish were beautifully cooked.

So disappointed that a once reliable pub/restaurant was not a patch on our last visits. The staff coped as well as they could on a busy night but the food was vastly inferior. We did tell them so, but they explained that they were at the mercy of the brewery. The quality has gone way down but the prices not.

This is a typically unremarkable Robinson's pub, offering nothing special to the discerning customer. On the plus side, there is room for improvement. Extra star awarded for the helpful staff.

All the guys are always great, love coming to The Sun

Will and Josh are the absolute daddies at looking after their customers. Top fellas! A tremendous place for food and drink!!!

Excellent service from all staff as always! Great food and drink, friendly service and always served with a smile! Clean toilets

Random stop at The Rising Sun for lunch on Saturday. Friendly staff made us really welcome. Good choice menu - usual pub food then more contemporary choices Asian, Italian etc. Food coming from kitchen looked lovely made it difficult to choose.We chose Steak and Ale pie and Burger. We didn’t wait long, presented well, both meals delicious. If we lived local would definitely be a go to place - maybe we will have a drive out here again.

Good food, easy parking, very enjoyable experience

Excellent food, drinks and atmosphere

Staff were lovely, beer was great, but the Sunday roasts were awful

I came for a meal with some friends in the evening and was greeted by a professional and friendly man who was very accommodating. However, that can’t be said for the rest of the staff that I spoke to. The waiting staff weren’t friendly and didn’t have very good customer service skills. One of them had a face like thunder and an awful attitude most of our meal! I have to say that one of men (I think was senior staff or the manager) particularly needs to learn how to manage in a professional manner and think about how he speaks to customers because his attitude was appalling! When your job is front of house and serving customers you expect someone to be polite, attentive and respectful but I can honestly say this man was far from that. However, I can’t fault the food I received because it was actually very nice! However, the whole service I received was shocking and I will not be going again and I definitely would not recommend to friends.

Good food & drink, very good staff and good atmosphere. The Rising Sun looks very good inside and out.

Had a lovely chilled afternoon spent in the beer garden with a few friends, had a cheeky barbecue sat in the sun with a few drinks! Perfect bank holiday afternoon!

Lovely food at lunchtime, very good service and good atmosphere

Smokers pub outside, so sat inside on a warm day. Nice inside , apart from wonky table. Both got the chicken supreme. It was a mush of over soft mash, with a seared on one side chicken breast, which was so small, waste of time going there. Need new chef. Pub was ok inside, but went home afterwards for something to eat. Wasted £80. Would not return for food, thinking about wouldn’t return for a beer either, they should have a separate area for smokers.

Food is absolutely delicious 😋 and the pub itself is lovely

Popped in here after a walk in nearby Delamere yesterday with a dog, the service was very friendly and quick! And the food was absolutely delicious! Best I've had in a long time, the chip shop loaded fries and the french onion soup were amazing! Reasonably priced for the quality of food, plenty of vegetarian options and super dog friendly, we will be back! Even if it is 45 mins away, it's worth it!

We love coming to the Rising Sun! The food is always amazing thanks to Caz. Josh and Chris are so lovely and I highly recommend!

Lovely little pub , great atmosphere popped in when there was a footy match on got served quickly staff were all lovely especially will who looked after me top guy would highly recommend. Food and service fab 👌 🥰🥰

love the vibe, especially the sunday night quiz. the staff are super lovely and helpful, especially josh, chris, and caroline

Great beer and a great quiz on a Sunday

Had a great time at the quiz on Sunday, always good atmosphere and amazing staff.

Always an enjoyable experience for the quiz. Brings a good atmosphere on a relatively quiet night in the village

Visit here on work trips couple of times a year. Always good service and selection of food and drinks

Great atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff. The new menu is fantastic and there is a wide selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks to choose from.

I visited this place twice in the past 5 weeks. The beer is great and the overall atmosphere is as well. I am a Texan and knew no one in the place but I felt right at home.

Nice pub, great atmosphere, only had a drink

Superb eatery, Staff welcoming & friendly, food was loveley, Atmosphere a comfortable, historic building. Of course its in Tarporley, so pretty and well kept , we had a lovely afternoon out as a Family. I highly recommend The Rising Sun to visit and Eat at, just what you look for in a Country Pub 😋

Great little find for food and drinks after exploring the surrounding area.

Good food and drinks.great sitting outside area

Long Returning customers Sadly we found that the food wasn't up to much ,To say the least but the serving staff was nice as is the decor . But more negatives ,Like bad smells from the toilets was notably present in the dining, lounge & bar area . Soon detracts you from the nice ambience.

Lovely quaint pub in lovely Tarporley village

Popped in for quick pub lunch and were very pleased. Delicious food, friendly service and nice place.
