Rising Sun in Fenland

Always a warm and friendly greeting and from a brilliant host. Always a good evening dinner menu with excellent food really well prepared. Love it.

Lovely as always.. Popped in with mum for dinner & it was lovely as always… Mum had scampi I had a delicious mushroom burger 🥰

Visited this lovely pub on a cold wet day in March 2022 whilst house hunting. We Liked it so much we bought a house just down the road !! Food is superb, atmosphere friendly, Landlady Maggie makes everyone so welcome and knows her customers really well . What a find on a wet, windy day. We love this place. Thanks Maggie, Conor and Staff.

Fabulous evening. Staying with friends in the area and dropped in for dinner tonight. Proper country feel with lovely food and incredible hospitality! Maggie the landlady is the loveliest hostess, made us feel right at home. Not bad Guinness either! 😊 Can’t wait to get back.

We we’re visiting friends and had a night out - so we picked the local pub. What a brilliant find - great company, fantastic owner (Maggie) and lovely food! As you enter you’re welcomed by the owner, who is a lovely woman - grab a drink and take a seat. The menu is on the board with seasonal meals - and a good range. We ate dinner and dessert, and had a great chat with the owner - so lovely! I’d definitely come back again.

Thank you Maggie for your warm welcome ❤️ x Back from Spain 🇪🇸 for a week & was waiting to visit here again…. Sunday lunch was superb we chose the nut roast x A lovely pub and looking forward to be back soon

After visiting family in Wisbech we decided to have a meal at the rising sun. However it is with deep regret we all wish we never ate there. All of us suffered severe food poisoning, we did joke at the time how the staff looked a tad unkempt. But little did we know the poor hygiene levels. We have reported the rising sun to peterborough council and strongly advise anyone to avoid at all costs.

We moved to the area just over a year ago. We have visited the pub on a number of occasions to eat and also for the quiz night. Really friendly pub the food is excellent and the landlady Maggie is is so friendly. Can't recommend this pub highly enough

Not visited since before lockdown, but can’t wait to return. As always, Maggie gave us a great Rising Sun welcome (she is the latest in a long line of great land lords & ladies). I took my partner for the first time & he was mightily impressed. The food was simply stunning. My partner said his chicken burger was amazing, and he is very fussy about his burgers, having lived in America for 16 years. I opted for the risotto - asparagus, peas and mint - wow! It was so refreshing and light - one of the best I’ve had, and glory be - there was a cheese board - our favourite & so few places offer it now. All this with great service & atmosphere - what more could you ask for? Well done Maggie and team, you’re the pride of Leverington!

We were greeted by a very rude landlady, quite hostile actually. The food was of a very poor standard will never eat there again.

Evening meal and beers. Excellent slow cooked pork and beef and not too sweet plumb crumble. Very friendly waitresses and great host landlady.

Had a delightful meal out tonight. New menu was a small selection of freshly made meals by their chef. We had the steak pie with vegetables, mash and gravy and a steak burger. Everything was spot on and also very good value. Staff superb and a Landlady to match! Well done, will definitely go again.

On entering the premises we were greeted by a very hostile landlady which continued through out the night it made for a very uncomfortable evening ... Also her covid rules only apply to some and not for others, she was very vocal to our friend for forgetting his mask on entering the bar area but it was ok for herself to remove her mask and not keep her distance !! ..... Will not be returning .....

On visiting the Rising Sun on Saturday, 26th September with friends, we were greeted by the landlady who informed us in a surly manner of the Covid restrictions, ie. wear your mask when you enter the premises. We all complied and were taken to our table, when we were allowed to remove our masks. The table surface was sticky, but we presumed it was disinfectant, not very pleasant. Unfortunately the tables don’t comply with the 2 metre rule. At one stage the landlady visited and sat down at the table next to us and chatted to the patrons, who she obviously knew, but she had removed her mask and was sitting with her back to us no more than a foot away from our table, which my partner found very rude but most importantly contravened Covid regulations. When we finished our meal we had to comply with the one-way system rule which entailed having to leave the pub and walk outside in an unlit area, through the car park and then enter bar area again. You had to do this trip every time you wanted to use the gents toilet too. When I entered the bar I did not realised that I had to put my mask on again, as I was already in the establishment and I was forced to leave the premises because it was the only way to use the toilet. I was greeted by the landlady who spoke to me in a very disrespectful and aggressive manner. Yes, I was wrong for not wearing the mask, but it was a genuine mistake, as I had only gone to the toilet and was technically still on the premises. But there are ways to speak to people and unfortunately, she has a lot to learn in that respect. I’m 66 years of age, not a child, I speak from experience, having worked in the public sector for over 35 years and I hope that I would never talk to a customer in that tone of voice. To our dismay, her friends on the table next to us totally ignored the one-way system and came into the bar without going via the trip through the car park . Nothing was said. Obviously it’s one rule for one and another rule others. This is the second time I have eaten at this pub and I have spend nearly £250 there. But unfortunately I will not spend another penny in this establishment. I have no qualms with the staff they were excellent and the food was very tasty. But unfortunately the experience with the landlady has left a very bad taste. I understand times are tough for businesses but without customers you have no business.

We went to the Rising Sun for Valentine's. The service was great, the atmosphere friendly and relaxed. We prefer the bar area to the restaurant but both are nice. The food was good especially the fish this time. We have been 3 or 4 times a year for the last 5 years and this visit was one of the best. The value is good. We will go back again.

Fabulous ❤️ xxxAfter researching the area for somewhere to bring my family & friends I decided that this Elgoods pub would be the place...Great decision with the help of TripAdvisor Walked in the door greeted by the lovely landlady with a warm welcome The whole place is full of warmth and a happy atmosphere xThe food choices are varied with something for everyone.We had the salmon which was absolutely delicious, all left our plates clear enjoying every mouthful.Easy parking too.Thank you & we will be back soon ☀️

Having seen the steak night offer we decided to give it a go , we thought the steaks were lovely however we had a few issues getting to have them . One of our party was a celiac nothing on the menu to show gluten free and our poor waiter (Adam who was amazing) had to keep going and asking the manager/chef loads of questions.We all like to support local businesses but felt we were maybe too much trouble,ideal if you are looking for a standard pub meal/experience. Hopefully the updates will be sorted soon and again well done Adam who without his patience and good nature we probably would have given up and gone elsewhere.

At the end of a walk from town, this pub was truly great. Excellent service with a smile; not at all expensive, and good for a repeat visit somewhen.

First visit and really glad I went, lovely food & service. Staff couldn't have been more helpfull, highly recommended.

Great visit last night to one of the best kept pubs around. The ale is so well kept as are the beautiful hanging baskets outside, they draw you into the pub. Brilliant local pub that welcomes all, the landlady couldn’t be more hospitable. Good selection of food with a specials board and fab New York Burger. If you haven’t been you need to go

We have been here many times & the food never fails to impress. The staff are very friendly & the service is great.

Over the years have eaten here many times and always been satisfied.Today was a birthday lunch with a friend.She had the roast lamb which apparently was very tender. I had the vegetable suet pudding. The only veggie option!The roastie were hard, the carrots obviously frozen and the pudding was over cooked with a very hard dry bottom.I am now nursing indigestion.Sorry will go elsewhere next time.

Six of us and our dog had a lovely evening meal here. Friendly staff, good choice and fast service. Would go again if I was ever in the area again

As I’ve said before we couldn’t manage the museum without our volunteers, so as a big thank you we took them all out for a slap up meal, the Rising Sun once again played host and provided us with lovely food, plenty of booze, and excellent service, thanks must go to Maggie and her team of lovely girls for providing all of the above.

Lovely place friendly and welcoming staff. Would highly recommend. Food was quality produce all fresh & cooked to perfection

Visited at lunchtime. There was a varied selection of meals available. Food was excellent I had an excellent steak cooked to perfection for me. It was obvious from our meal that the people that run the Rising Sun care about their customers and know how to cook food very well. Will be returning again. The Elgoods beer was pretty good too.

Stopped here for an impromptu lunch with my kids. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food was great - classic pub grub.

I would like to thank Maggie and her staff for providing an excellent buffet for vegetarians vegans and meat eaters. The home made hummus was the best they had tasted. The staff are extremely warm and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and it is a proper traditional pub with a nice beer garden and good selection of beers. Thanks once again

We visited the rising sun for Mother’s Day lunch. Despite a number of other diners present we did not have to wait for our courses to arrive. The food was of good quality, tasty and plentiful. The service was good and extra drinks when ordered were delivered quickly. Overall, my party enjoyed the experience and when possible will use the rising sun again.

Tonight was our second meal in this pub. The food is fantastic. The Rising Sun is everything good about a British Pub. The Landlady treats you as part of the family and the staff are friendly and attentive without being overbearing. As for the food, we have only had two meals here but on both occasions the food was cooked to perfection and with a bill each time of under £50 for three people you couldn't ask for better. Keep up the good work, we will see you soon.

I cannot recommend this Pub restaurant enough. Catering for 4 vegetarians, 2 with Gluten Free requirements - nothing was too much trouble.

My partner and I popped in for some lunch whilst in the area viewing a car in a local garage. The pub is clean, cosy and warm, staff were very attentive and welcoming and the food was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend 😍👍

Once again Maggie and her lovely staff made our Christmas Celebrations really special. The food was lovely, well presented, and plenty of it. The crackers on the table added to the fun and the whole evening was a super way of saying "Thank You" to the wonderful volunteers from the Museum of Technology.

Had a short break in the Fens and enjoyed Sunday lunch here. The service was good and the food was lovely, best roast beef I have had in a long time.

We reserved a table for four people, we arrived early so we could have a drink before our meal. The host was very plesant and friendly. Our meals were very good, we had a starter and a main no complaints. The only thing we thought was the waitresses were a bit keen to take the plates away and get cleared up. We would go there again.

Yesterday my brother and I were having a nostalgic trip around the fens and chanced upon the Rising Sun. I have eaten in many restaurants across the UK during the course of my business and have to say that this was one of the best meals I have experienced. Because I have some allergy issues the waitress and chef could not have been more helpful and the resulting meal was superb - The steak was heaven, the sauce nectar and the range of vegetables was lovely and generous. My brother opted for the liver and bacon and said it was "awesome". Thank you for making a great trip even better.

Servicio lento, la comida llegó a la mesa fría y tenía que ser enviado de vuelta! Volví tibio, que para un asado los domingos es menos de atractivo. Dos de las tres mesas en el restaurante se quejó de la calidad de la comida, trozos...

Met friends here for Sunday lunch, what a disappointment! sat in the 'restaurant' table was sticky, food was inedible, service was slow. Will not be returning here and would advise anyone else to spend your money elsewhere!!

Mi marido y yo fuimos para el almuerzo y decidimos coger el perro con nosotros. Nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y el perro estaba siempre con un tazón de agua. La comida era deliciosa, bien preparada y abundante. Nada parecía ser demasiado problema. El ambiente era relajado y amigable y gran retro, no demasiado alto, la música sonaba en el fondo. Sin duda volveremos a menudo y se lo recomendaríamos a nuestros amigos.

Nuestra primera vez en este pub éramos los únicos en el restaurante y tuvimos una comida riquísima sin duda volvería

El personal era amable, pero no que el jefe parecen incapaces de hacer frente a un grupo de 10 que llegaron antes que nosotros y nuestra comida a la hora del almuerzo. El miembro del personal nos dijo que ahora era nuestro turno después de esperar más de una hora. Cuando nuestra comida finalmente llegar la lasaña que estaba catalogado como casero era bastante pesado con poco contenido de carne. La ensalada consistía de unas pocas hojas con un montoncito de lo que parece ser una especie de ensalada de patatas. El pan de ajo (todo dos rodajas) era difícil. Si ellos no pueden arreglárselas con 12 personas para el almuerzo, me atrevo a hacer frente con ellos pub y restaurante. No recomendaría este pub o utilizarlo de nuevo.

As we are moving to Leverington very soon, we wanted to check out our new 'local', while we were having a look round our new house. First impressions were great. The lady behind the bar welcomed us on arrival, and during our stay gave us some tips about living round here. She was very helpful and very nice ( Sorry I didn't get her name !! ). The pub in general, although quiet at the time of our visit, seemed a very friendly place. We just went for the pub grub menu, as it was lunch time, and found the menu, and quality to be excellent. The beer was good, and the pot of tea was great too. Will certainly be making this place our new local.

Thursday 30th March and nothing out for tea, lovely evening and the Rising Sun is only a 15 minute walk away. This turned out to be one of those spur of the moments that worked out. We arrived at the Pub around 6.30pm and were warmly greeted. The menu has sufficient choice and is reasonably priced. We started with a prawn and crayfish cocktail and I had the garlic mushrooms, good portions and well prepared. For the main course my wife had the mushroom risotto and I had the poached salmon with new potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, peas and mashed turnip. Again the portions were substantial and very well cooked. The service was excellent and my wife assured me the house wine was also very good. An excellent spur of the moment, we will definitely frequent again.

We have eaten here a few times now and found the usual friendly welcome and good food and drink at reasonable prices on this visit. This visit we had a very good Chicken Madras Curry. Often pubs add a rather poor curry dish to the menue but this one at the Rising Sun was very good and we will have this again. On the main road and p,entry of parking.

This family run pub provides great food at a good price in a friendly atmosphere. There is a good menu with theme nights from time to time. A place for a drink or a meal.

Booked a table of 5 and were told that we may have a bit of a wait as there was a large table booked 30 mins before us .. all good so far.Arrived and were shown straight to our table and drinks orders taken ... still all goodFood order taken .. the waitress went away with it and came back 5 mins later to say that we may have to wait up to 30 mins for our food ... still all good as we knew this before hand.58 minutes later the food finally arrived (we were only having main courses, no starters) ... not good and no update in between as to how long the wait was progressing3 of the 5 dishes were ok with no complaintsThe 2 remaining dishes which were only Burger and Chips were not so good ... The chips whilst cooked were barely done so ... VERY pale and limp. The Burger Bun was Hard and inedible and the burger very over cooked .. as if it had been left on the hot plate or under the grill and forgotten about.We did mention this and they did take one of the burgers off the bill without any fussI just got the impression that they had over booked themselves and the kitchen just couldn't keep upSadly will not return ... as I say, could have been so much better

When you enter the Rising Sun you are greeted by the fantastic Landlady Maggie. The pub is divided into the restaurant and the bar. There is always a good selection of home made food and a varied specials menu. Maggie likes her rugby, so don't ask for the football!! This pub is what a pub should be, great well kept beer, tasty grub and always some good banter. What could be better?

We eat and drink here quite often always find the staff friendly, the prices for food and drink reasonable and the food quality really good.

We went with another couple on a midweek evening. We have just moved to the area so didn't know much about local nights out.We turned up and were immediately shown to a table in the restaurant area which was clean and comfortable. Menu's are hearty, wholesome and traditional. After placing our order we waited around 10 minutes for the four meals to arrive. Each one was hot and freshly prepared and there was plenty of it. I like to see what I call traditional food well cooked and well presented. I'm not one for fancy food which someone has played with for ages to make it look like a picture, then get charged an arm and a leg. Then leave still feeling hungry.Each meal was enjoyed by all four of us. We couldn't eat a desert as we were all full with the main course. The service by the young waitress was first class and the total cost of the evening out was £65 which included a couple of drinks. Not bad I'd say. We weren't rushed and we were made to feel wanted, which was good.I'd recommend this pub. It has a friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff. I will certainly return, but not before trying other places first.

This pub is well worth a visit. It has a pleasant, friendly atmosphere with staff to match...you really do get a warm welcome. The food is outstanding - pub food with a couple of 'specials' every night. I am told that the local Elwards Beer is also very good but I went for the House Red and can recommend that !

Called in for a pint and found that the place had a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. There was a selection of three cask beers, with a couple from Elgoods and one from Lacons as well as a proper cider. I tried the Lacons, which was very good and I would be very happy to call in again when passing.

Lovely country pub with great food, good prices and friendly staff. Highly recommended for Wisbech area. Try Stake Night Wednesday £16 for two really good steak meals.

Went in for Sunday lunch - good food and child friendly. They have high chairs available. We went at noon on Sunday and were the only ones there for a while.

We found this pub by accident. Glad we did as we were heading for a functional McDonalds en route back to Norwich. On the hottest day of the year we very much loved their pretty little beer garden. Staff v friendly and welcoming. Food excellent, great choice and v reasonably priced. Quick service too. Welcoming interior with separate cosy restaurant. I'd highly recommend this place.

Thank you Maggie and staff for another super evening, great atmosphere, no rush, good food, plenty of choice and great attentive service.

I live in Nottingham and visit an elderly lady in Wisbech and would not go anywhere else for my lunch other than the Rising Sun. I always get the warmest welcome and there is an excellent choice of menu and specials board The food is always first class - piping hot and very tasty I totally recommend a visit

We highly recommend this lovely little pub. We went out for a birthday meal with our daughter at our local only to find the chef was on holiday and no meals available?????The Rising Sun has a small but pleasant retardant and the staff are very helpful, welcoming and friendly, just how a local pub/restauarants should be. The food was superb with decent portions, tasty and cooked well. We had scampi, sausage and mash and gammon steak. £34.80 including a bottle of house white wine.....can't be bad with great service like that. Easy parking and an outside seating area available.Lovely food, friendly staff and fair prices. We will be eating here again soon. Highly recommended.

The reason we are regulars? Well, it's a great pub. The land lady is a real character from Yorkshire, and will do her best to please. Very clean, professional, polite and efficient service. The menu has a good variety of choices on offer, as well as offering the traditional roast every Sunday. And a good selection of local ales. Banter comes as standard to the regulars. Very friendly, welcomes all.

We have eaten regularly at the Rising Sun over the years and always enjoy our visits. Maggie is a welcoming, larger-than-life landlady and it is a pleasure just to sit and listen to her banter with her customers. She won a well-deserved award from CAMRA this year - on the presentation evening you couldn't have squeezed another body into the pub! The food is great and the beer excellent. Well worth a visit.

Visited two weeks back for lunch - very good roast beef meal and an excellent home-made chicken and leek pie, followed by a generous cheeseboard. Family-run, the Rising Sun also serves a very good pint of local ale, with national brands and guest ales also on offer. Although we ate in the Bar (through choice) there's a very comfortable dining room as well. Menu varied and reasonably priced.

Having visited this "pub" the past two years on our annual charity bike ride from Leicester to Hunstanton. We were met with a truly shocking reception this year forcing us on before we'd even stopped in the car park. We were FALSELY accused of leaving a mess last year and buying very little from the bar, this couldn't be further from the truth if she'd tried ! With 10 cyclists and friends supporting we'd all bought at least one pint and most a second, yes, we, the cyclists did eat our own pasta/energy bars, but others did buy pub food too and we certainly cleaned the beer garden up afterwards, at the very most we'd have left our empties outside, but all our own rubbish would have been placed in bins/taken with us.With this forceful ejection it put a true dampener on the days ride with many not having ridden for charity before! With staff attitude like this I truly can not work out how this place is still going !?Awful, Awful, AWFUL !!!

Took my dad for lunch the landlady is super friendly had a lovely meal and would def go back time and time again so would my dad!

We arrived at this pub by chance after finding all other local pubs and restaurants closed on a Monday. This was a lucky find for us, we were greeted with a full menu including specials and a roast beef dinner. We were made to feel welcome, and our children were welcomed too. We had the roast beef, the steak and a cheese sandwich followed by desserts all of which were really tasty. Good value. If we were in the area again we would definitely return.

Had a meal at this village pub last week. Lovely land lady really friendly...Food was ok wouldn't go over the top with praise . BUT GOOD OK...

Wisbech has not contributed much to world peace so far, but this would be a good place to begin the talks. This is real pub food of the highest quality. Appearances can sometimes be a little deceptive, and although this is a real few frills '1980s' venue, the dinner menu befits a good hotel. This was a simple night out, and we found ourselves sitting at a table in the bar just a few feet from the locals and a cosy wood stove to push out a chilly night. Three of our party naturally homed in on the steak and ale pie, which came clad in shortcrust pastry, with mash, fresh veg straight on the plate, and a jug of gravy. Our charming, smart, polite and helpful waitress was ever helpful. Please don't change anything.

Me and my husband visited here having just moved to the area, having driven by it everyday and always said how lovely it looks, we decided to try! We had a really nice welcome by the landlady, so friendly and kind, no rush and nothing was too much. Her son was staying for his break from Uni, he started talking to us, like he had known us for a long time. really nice atmosphere! Food was plentyful and delicious, great value, my husband had the mixed grill and quite honestly it look amazing! Service was great, everything was great we had a wonderful evening and right on our doorstep! Planning another evening there with the rest of our family, they will love it too.

Amazing place dog friendly great food amazing service and very friendly people will definitely be going again when this way

Lovely Sunday Lunch enjoyed by all the family, a good selection of roast meats, we all had something different and we all eat the lot, the kids had puddings but the adults didn't have any room left. The food here is the best we have found in our area, we have had evening meals here too and have never been disapointed, well done to all the staff.

Sat night meal, First of all music to loud seems the speakers are hooked up to the same ones as in the bar so if the bar wants them loud the restaurant gets the same. The food was nothing to write home about. Starters were passable just .Main meal one salmon one chicken pie, Salmon over cooked pie was ok but chips strong taste of oil, Garlic bread was just dumped on a plate and it was hard as a rock. Had a job cutting with a knife. Went to try this pub out was going to book the next sat for a party of 8 wont bother. Very good service girls were very good left £5 tip. PS never charged for chips.

Fantastic food well presented. The place was warm and spotless. Very well kept ale and welcoming staff. Will be returning soon.

Relaxed atmosphere Mags has here. Very welcoming and are happy to bend over backwards to keep the most awkward customer happy. Just what any village is looking for, good old fashioned friendly pub, cosy with log burner and easy listening music. Mags almost treats you like an old friend the moment you enter and feel you're leaving a new friend and the end of your visit. The food, the staff, the all round service is first class and you should ignore any negative reviews as they must come from negative people. I should have come here 3 years ago and will make the point of coming here in the future.

Lovely pub, great food and very friendly staff. Have eaten in here 3 or 4 times now at different times and days and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended.

Lovely old fashion pub - totally refurbed about 2-3 years. Maggie landlady is very friendly and very welcoming and loves rugby.I feel that anyone who was by themselves especially a woman our her own would feel extremely comfortable (hence why I write this review) It has wines by glass or bottles, draught beers and bottle. You can eat in the 30/34 seater Resturant which has a small bar or eat in bar area which on cold nights has a wood burner. 2 Outside seated areas - one of which in summer is enclosed and a Bar b q area. The steak night is very popular two steaks £15 with all the trimmings chips peas onion rings mushrooms etc steak cooked to perfection. Also a special board very imaginative. As well normal menu and caters for Vegeterians

I'm a simple guy who wants good value for money and a friendly atmoshphere. The Rising Sun has both in abundance. Just up the road from my folks, I visited for the first time last night. Very friendly, great food, plenty of choices, good beer, good prices and fantastic service. Portions were very generous and each course over-delivered !That's everything I look for so get yourself down to this little gem and give it a try. I'll be back and thanks again for looking after us - see you soon !!

Six of us on holiday at the Secret Garden Camping & Caravan site went here on our first night. Had called previously and booked on the strength of the landladies friendliness and the fact they would allow a dog in the bar. We had great food and beer, the staff were friendly and welcoming and the landlady told us some of the hsitroy of the area. We were all delighted with the place and would return. The bar is smallish but there is a restaurant too.

First unexpected visit and received a very friendly welcome. Homemade selection of curries but also option of choosing from the menu and specials board. Really nice food and atmosphere - good proper pub!

This is a good old fashion pub, great home cooked food! Very welcoming, great service and nothing was too much trouble. Pet friendly. Lasagne was excellent! Will definitely be going back. Fish pie and curry were great. Wish more pubs were still around like this one.a+++

Lovely staff, really good home cooked food, nice down to earth atmosphere and very generous people in the bar who gave us lots of sponsorship for our ride for Muscular Dystrophy - thank you!

booked a table for six people & enjoyed starters/lunch/&sweets we had four guests came on a day visit to us and had travelled one hundred and twenty mile from Kent

Forget the early reviews for this lovely little pub - this is definitely not the same landlady!A wonderful warm welcome from this jolly lady, spotlessly clean and comfortable bar and restaurant. Home made steak and porter pie to die for! (Also, try her homemade shortcake )

We were on our way from Holbeach to Wisbech when we came across the Rising Sun. We both ordered scampi and chips, I had a pint of Cambridge Ale (Elgoods) and my fiancé had half a pint of shandy. The ale was in fine fettle and the food came promptly and was delicious. We will be back!

Visited the pub on Tuesday afternoon for a meal with my wife and dog Freddie. Food served 1200 until 1430 on afternoons. Quiet when we arrived at 12.45 but got busy ish by one. Dog made most welcome in the bar (not lounge.Good efficient service from bar and food arrived in a timely manner. Food very good, I had steak my wife had a burger. Good atmosphere where we were sitting, rustic but clean and inviting surroundings. Bar person attentive but not over familiar and kept on top of his role. Would recommend for good pub style food.

My wife and I had to return to Wisbech on business and as it was Sunday decided to try the "Sunday Roast" . Wow the beef and the lamb were just melt in the mouth. This was a real roast dinner with the meat and vegetables all local. I would say this is "Simply the Best" pub lunchtime roast I have tasted in many years. (Not the ready meal type I have had in the past from other pubs). Washed down by a lovely guest ale that the land lady prides herself on in knowing how to keep good beer - and she does!The welcome, service and value for money were excellent. This is a must visit Pub and Restaurant if you are in the area as you are guaranteed, Good food and Great Beer, lovely atmosphere and excellant value for money What more would you want.

went for lunch on the 13/12/14 the lady that served us was brilliant couldnt do more for us :-) the meal was lovely all fresh will be going again

Stopped off here for a drink with some friends and enjoyed the service and atmosphere. Good beer and on a Monday evening a steady flow of customers kept the bar nice and busy. Definitely one of the better pubs in Wisbech with friendly staff and amiable service. Will return again when in the area.

A meal ordered with pre selected dishes was booked for 7.30pm it was served at 9.15pm too long to wait. No apology was received from the host. We were presented with battered onion rings half way through the wait to prevent the hunger pangs. When the meal arrived the chips that I had were too hard to crunch so had to leave them, the steak was fantastic with mushrooms. I do realise that they were busy on that night but bookings should not be taken for a particular time if it cannot be fulfilled. An explanation by the person in charge would have gone a long way to prevent grumbles from our party of 16.I will definitely visit again with a smaller party and will give an update some time in the future.

Visited with my wife for lunch, very good value and an excellent roast beef lunch. The beer is OK, and the service was good, so all in all a good place to visit.

We called in for lunch and were made to feel very welcome. The landlady seems to have a great knack of keeping the locals happy and welcoming passing trade in a jolly and friendly manner. On arrival we were welcomed and offered the choice of sitting in the quiet lounge or more lively bar (we chose the bar), on requesting "beer" with our meal were given a thorough overview of the three real ales on tap (Elgoods) and a little taster to confirm our choice (there was also a selection of the common big brand fizzy stuff). I had a beautifully cooked 16 oz T-bone with traditional accompaniments, whilst my wife had a pie with a great choice of veg, all perfectly cooked and presented, and plentiful. There was a good menu selection plus a sizeable "specials" board. Well worth a visit if in the area or using the A47 to/from the coast.

we have used this pub several times, the first time we went to sample as we were looking for a venue for one of my son's wedding meal. We were very impressed with the service, food and atmosfer, between us we decided to let maggie, the landlady do our meal, She did the menu to suit the bride & grooms requests, as the day drew near we poped in several times with questions/ or changes, there was no problem she accomadated all our needs. when we arrived we had a very warm welcome, with some lovely hot nibbles. The dining room had been decorated,and table settings which looked lovely. the meal was served professionally, nothing to much trouble, we ask for a childs meal to be served early which was done straight away. All in all Maggie and team did a brilliant job, ( I think this was one of the first weddings she had done) we have been back 3 or 4 times since and food etc has always been good, on one occassion the steaks were not to our liking the meals were taken away and replace with a complete new meal, the steak were reported & returned to her local butcher suppler, We would highler recomenned this lovelly village pub which we have always found cl;ean and welcoming

We had such a lovely warm welcome from the landlady when we visited recently that we felt part of the family. This really is a traditional lovely English Pub with great "guest ales" to sample. The Landlady really knows her stuff and could not be more helpful or kind. We were made to feel special and are looking forward to our next visit.The menu is varied and home cooked and wow it tastes very good indeed, again nothing is too much trouble.This Pub is a must visit if you want Great food at very reasonable prices and a real English Pub atmosphere.

made very welcome have been several times for meals absolutely delicious would recommend this pub. Maurice burrows.

We arrived here very late on a Friday night, hungry and hoping that we could get a meal. We were in luck.We live local but had never visited before as the previous landlords had not bee too great.We were warmly welcomed by the bar staff and met the landlady who was very pleasant indeed.They have a newly refurbished outside seating area. Please don't confuse this with the tables outside and to the left of the venue. This is the smoking area.The menu is typical pub grub and they do have specials available. What I like is that they use local produce and the quality of this shines through. The meat is excellent and is sourced from a butcher less than a mile away.I had the mixed grill and it was very good. All the meats were cooked how I asked and not just to one standard.The prices are reasonable, the ale is good and the kids were happy.Just what you want. My only criticism is that the plates are too small for the food they serve. Either larger plates or reduce the portion size.Since this review we have visited twice again. Sat outside once and inside once. Same service, same quality and the landlady was charming as ever.So there you have it. Three visits over a 2 month period,all very good.Passing through or local,its really worth a look.

Visited whilst on holiday. The food was absolutely delicious. So well cooked, not overcooked. We went with our two teenagers. They and my husband ordered starters of garlic mushrooms, crispy chicken goujons and crab cakes. The lady put them all on one plate so we could have a huge sharing platter. They were all lovely. Our mains were just as delicious if not better my husband had gammon, a huge steak of it. My daughter the lasagne. My son had one of the specials, chicken stuffed with cream cheese and asparagus wrapped in bacon in a supreme sauce. It was so moist and tender it melted in his mouth I had the ham, egg and child. The ham just fell apart you didn't need a knife. We all had the chocolate and pear fondant for desert but me and my daughter couldn't finish it so my son had ours too!We came back the next night and wished we'd tried the place earlier. I'm sure we would have eaten there every day. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and the premises were so clean and tastefully decorated. Will definitely go again if ever in the area again.

Beautiful home cooked food, friendly welcoming staff and owners, good beer will be making this our local. 100% reccomend this pub for food, ale and friendlyness from ricky and teresa xx

I am unsure where the terrible reviews are coming from.We use this pub probably 3 times a month and have never had any problems.It is a great place to drink, to eat and to socialise.It has had a complete overhaul and looks and feels great since Mags has been running it.The food is good honest, value for money country pub food.The beer garden is well established, not difficult to find and a very nice place to sit.

The pub from the outside looks very nice, however inside is another story. The place is well maintained but its full of young kids, roudy and loud!! The land lady is very abrupt and seems to busy doing other things than to deal with her customers. . Apparently there is a beer garden outside? ?? no signs anywhere to show this though. The food is good and the chef I would definitely recommend. .. but the staff and the land lady are just rude. I wouldn't recommend and we wont be back, shame really.

Stopped in here for lunch with my friends last week, just because it looked good from the road if I'm honest. The landlady is a real character, and you feel at home straight away. The food was excellent, and well cooked. The toilets were clean and well maintained. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and we'll definitely be back!!

I visited this pub with my wife last night and We were enjoying ourselves, eating in the corner of the bar, and a gentleman with a baseball cap came in with a very young girl, he then proceeded to tell a very rude joke that not only offended my wife and I but even the young waiter standing behind the bar. The landlady then proceeded to tell the man to keep the language to himself with ladies and children present, the man then began to assume he was 'barred'. He eventually left, under the impression he was banned for life; but the landlady had not mentioned ban or barred at all throughout the entire discussion. However, I for one am so very pleased that a pub that was once a place full of trouble is now being managed so well by a very capable landlady. This pub is certainly rising again!

To be honest I've been a regular in the pub, there has been multiple lease holders, and the new land lady after several visits has been rude, and mostly concerned about the volume of money she is taking through the bar, the service is unexplainable and not even worth a visit! I'm not a picky person, I normally enter pubs with my family but I strongly suggest you avoid this pub!!!

TheRising Sun has recently been completely revamped with new management included. The food is of an exceptional quality for a local pub and is extremely well priced and competitive.The restaurant is seperate from the public bar but food can be consumed in either and the menu is the same. All in all a wonderful experience with friendly and competent staff.
