Had a fantastic Sunday roast here, I had the Caribbean chicken roast option which had a really nice spicy twist to a traditional roast, full of flavour, juicy and tender with roasted potatoes and veggies. The atmosphere after the renovation is cosy and inviting, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a roast in such a central location. The staff were absolutely lovely. Will definitely be back!

Friendly staff and a nice welcome to a formerly scrappy 1960s pub with a boujie face lift. Apart from the usual issue in the UK these days with people taking untrained aggressive dogs to pubs, it was a good atmosphere with a relaxed group of punters. Football was on the screens so a destination for sports fans. The food was actually really good but it did take over an hour for the mains to come. Oh well, more time for Guiness. As I say, nice staff, good pub in general, worth a go.

Vlad was really sweet and brought us over a sample of the fish and chips too and those mushy peas (with mint) were absolutely gorgeous. Fully recommend.

This pub is a fantastic spot to unwind after a long day at work, spend quality time with family and friends on the weekend, or enjoy evenings with colleagues. I visit frequently since I run a shop nearby, and I must admitI’m hooked on their warm, freshly served pork crackling! Their kitchen is outstanding, and the food is absolutely delicious. I’ve been working my way through the menu, and the Sunday roast is an absolute must-try. They also have great outdoor spaces, including a lovely beer garden. It’s the perfect place to hang out—highly recommended!

My girlfriend and I visited the Rising Sun Bar in Belgravia, and we had an absolutely amazing time. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of sophistication and charm. Vlad, our server, truly went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. His attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and genuine friendliness were second to none. The drinks were exceptional—crafted with precision and creativity—and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The atmosphere made it a perfect spot for a romantic evening, and we left feeling completely satisfied and eager to return. I can’t recommend the Rising Sun Bar highly enough. If you’re looking for a fantastic night out with impeccable service, this is the place to go. Thank you, Vlad, for making our visit so special!

A quiet cosy pub, the bar staff seem decent, but the real stand out was the food. Chef Thomas knows how to put together a Sunday roast. He came out personally to give us recommendations and happily gave us extra gravy when asked. The portion sizes are very decent for the price and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back again.

La entrada de información de este pub necesita ser cambiada. NO sirven comida de ningún tipo. Les escribí un correo electrónico para preguntar sobre este aspecto, y no recibí respuesta. Estuve allí para una reunión con unos 25-30 amigos y todos se decepcionaron al saber que no había comida. Ni siquiera puedes conseguir una taza de café allí. La cerveza estaba bien, y el servicio era lo suficientemente amable, pero fue una decepción.

They ask for reviews, so here goes. The bar girl has got a bit of an attitude which is not pleasant. The food menu does not match what you pay and its 4 quid for a pint of lemonade. That might be normal here but not where I come from( and I livein a city bigger than this). Encourage me to come back? No chance. That is 14 British pounds of tacos. Eff off!

I would actually rate this pleasant and unassuming pub as 3.5 stars - but trip advisor doesn't give that option. Having eaten a large afternoon tea earlier in the day we just required somewhere to have a quiet drink and a chat in comfortable surroundings, without feeling the need to order any food. This pub fitted the bill perfectly. Prices seem average for the area. Overall, a pleasant evening.

Went in to meet a friend and was charged £7.45 for one beer, absolute robbery how can you do that to people, insanely priced, seems to a bit a very yuppy pub now, I mean who else can afford that.

Nice looking pub and lovely couple of benches outside at the front to sit at on a warm day but £7.40 for a pint of Moretti in any location is just too much in my opinion (July ‘23), plus it tasted hugely ‘off’. Wanted to take it back to exchange for something else but the barman was standing on the other side of the bar, laughing and joking with the regulars, so didn’t feel comfortable doing so. Too expensive to give another go for a while.

Saturday afternoon, 12.30pm. An empty pub, with bar flies and a smell of sewage. Reminiscent of Bar Med in the early 2000’s. Dated. No warm welcome, or service with a smile. £16.00 for pie and chips. Disgusting, cold food. The pie needed at least another minute in the microwave (!!). To make matters worse, a 12.5% service was added to the bill. The website is not a representation of what you will receive. I would not go back, nor would I recommend. Steer clear of this venue’s food offering.

Well.. not a bad place, quite cozy and a bit out off the way, but the food is not the best… even for a pub!! some of the worst onion bajis I ever had in my life, spicy wings were not spicy at all, just came with a chilli sauce.. and almost no salt at all in the coating. The lamb curry was alright.. better than the rest. They only serve Indian food now, so the previous food pictures are outdated. Discretionary service charge 12.5 % on top of their prices makes it a lot for what you’re getting.. but this is London Victoria.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with experience at the Rising Sun. I booked table for food and drinks for 5 ppl at 6pm. We tried to order before 7pm and were told that kitchen is super busy and they're not accepting orders for the next 30 minutes which everyone understood. We waited nearly 45 minutes to be told that actually kitchen run out with the most of the dishes? That's unacceptable. We booked a table in advance (didn't just walked in), waited, ordered more drinks just to wait 45 minutes for nothing. All 5 ppl left starving and disappointed.

Prenotazione per le ore 21.00, arriviamo in perfetto orario e ci viene detto che la cucina è chiusa. Di fronte alla nostra reazione, ci viene detto che se vogliamo mangiare dobbiamo ordinare in cinque minuti. Servizio completamente assente: ci siamo dovuti alzare per ordinare e scegliere le birre, e addirittura ci siamo dovuti portare al tavolo le posate, i tovaglioli e le birre. Inoltre, abbiamo dovuto pagare subito, neanche fossimo in un fast food. Tra l’altro, inizialmente non ci avevano applicato lo sconto The Fork, che abbiamo dovuto richiedere espressamente. In generale, attenzione al cliente inesistente, nonostante il locale fosse semivuoto. Tutto questo è un peccato, perché nel complesso il cibo è ok e il locale è ben tenuto, sebbene non ricordi minimamente l’atmosfera indiana. A Londra si può trovare decisamente di meglio.

Last night, my friends and I had the pleasure of visiting this charming wine bar, and what an unexpectedly fantastic evening it turned out to be! Originally, we had hoped to book a wine tasting, but since we made the reservation a little late, we had to settled for wine flights instead. Disappointed at first, we voiced our feelings to the lovely gentleman, Justin, who was working behind the bar. He told us, he is not a sommelier, but he offered to run a mini, ad hoc wine tasting for us. And let me tell you—what a stroke of luck that was. Justin was absolutely amazing! He suggested a delightful range of wines that were not only interesting but fun. His knowledge was impressive, yet he carried it with such ease and warmth that it never felt pretentious. Based on our feedback, he was able to tailor the selection to our preferences, and he nailed it—each wine was a perfect match for our group’s varied tastes. So much so, that I ended up buying two bottles to take home. What stood out the most was Justin’s ability to connect with the entire group. The atmosphere was lively and engaging, which is becoming rare these days when most places opt for the impersonal QR code ordering system. Justin’s approach felt like a breath of fresh air—genuine interaction and a personal touch that made the evening even more memorable. To complement the wine, we ordered cheese and charcuterie platters, as well as some sausages, and everything arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. The food paired beautifully with the wines, making for a well-rounded experience. Honestly, this was probably the best wine tasting I’ve been to in a long time, and the fact that it was all spontaneously put together by Justin made it even more impressive. My friends and I haven’t stopped talking about how great the evening was, and we’re already syncing our calendars to do it all over again. Highly recommend this gem of a spot!
