New owners and new menu, I had the crayfish linguine and she had the Katsu curry both delicious, the starter was prawns and chorizo 😋 amazing.The pub is warm and cozy with two fires in the bar 🍻 this will be our new local.

We booked our table a week before we never eat out as a family so as had a voucher for 25% off let’s give this place a try as new owners & refurbished. Lovely cozy pub & bonus could take out new puppy. On arrival was told no meat left apart from beef not great when one of kids only eats chicken .. we went to try the roast went for what’s left beef elder kids had to have off kids menu. Told no extras available either stuffing / cauli cheese disappointed. What we were served I’m sorry was just not worth the money £25 for a bit of cabbage & one Carrot 3 roast potatoes payed £5.95 for what had left as sides pigs in blankets . Tasted nice but felt completely ripped off. Kids enjoyed there meals though as older kids not enough for them. Will not be going back for food but would go for a drink in the garden as the views are stunning. Overall I am happy to pay higher prices if I am getting my moneys worth & did not get it Sunday . I wish the owners every success but value for money is everything. The pic explains that’s how my Sunday lunch arrived

The view and garden from this pub is great, but we found the food to not be worth the money. The quality was great but not the quantity. We had a table booked for 6pm, once sat down we were told there was only beef left, they’ve had a busy day, fair enough but they should make sure there’s enough roasts for bookings. There was also no cauliflower cheese or stuffing available. The food came and the presentation was great, but for £25 i think you should get more than one carrot!

I had high hopes that this would be a lovely experience with the pub under new management. However, it was not to be. We were pretty much ignored at the bar, despite there being 2 people serving and no-one else waiting to be served besides us. Eventually we were acknowledged and seated. No menus were brought to us so we found our own. It took a long time for someone to come over, and a long time for our food to be served. We were then charged £20.95 each for the veggie Sunday roast, despite it being listed on the menu as £17.95. We were refunded the difference but very little in the way of apology was given. Overall, a disappointing visit. Such a shame.

We visited the newly refurbished and re-opened Rising Sun recently for lunch. We were very well looked after by the very welcoming staff and enjoyed and really good lunch. It was good to see that the inside las lost none of its charm and that there are stools at the bar so you can just sit and enjoy a pint! We've put the rising sun back on our list of pubs to visit regularly, for food or just drinks.

Lovely food and speedy service but for a Sunday lunchtime it felt as if too many customers were being sat at once. We were shown to a table in the conservatory but felt completely in the way. We were adjacent to the till, which was less than a metre away, where all orders were put through and waiting staff were walking backwards and forwards past the table which gave us no sense of atmosphere or privacy. Really, the table shouldn’t have been there. Without it, tables in the conservatory could be more spaced out and afford guests a little more space for their belongings and to sit comfortably. Additionally, the table itself was small which didn’t allow for much comfort. We would have much preferred a spot in the outdoor area or the bar where it felt more cosy and calm. Perhaps we will try again and ask for a different table next time and see if that improves our visit. Can’t fault the food and the staff were polite. I wish the new owners all the success and hope that it continues to be a popular venue for people to meet and enjoy good food.

Over the years we had very mixed experiences with the Rising Sun through various changes of ownership but I can honestly say that this was without doubt the best meal I have ever had there. Great staff and wonderful food, what more can you wish for, we will be back. I hope that the new team running the pub can make a success of it and based on today’s visit they are off to a great start.

We stayed a night at the apartment above the pub in December 24 . We could not sleep at all due to awful smell of massive outside bins belonging to the pub. The sofa bed in the front room isn’t suitable for one person let alone for 2! There was no coffee machine despite it being included in the amenities list . There was no water provided for making tea or coffee anyway . The staff turned the radio on full volume in the morning at 8.30 ! The owner doesn’t like constructive feedback so he just goes on attack mode and calls you awful customer without giving a reason as to why you are awful ! It is a shame as the location is great and beautiful but that is the only good point about this place . We got up and left as quickly as we could to get some breakfast as they don’t provide breakfast either .

Traditional pub interior with lovely fire place and garden has an amazing view point. However, we were charged £10 for a pint of cask ale and half a pint of keg cider. I challenged this and was told the ale was £5.50 (which is a bit expensive but okay) and the half cider was £4.50! I begrudgingly paid, and then found that the cider was off (tasted like vinegar). To be fair the barman replaced with another cider without fuss (no price difference!). We then read the drinks menu, finding that pints of both ciders are £5.95, so this pub is charging over 75% the price of a pint for a half - which is quite astonishing. We then noticed lots of people complaining about what they were being charged for food and drinks. Clearly a pub with great potential but currently has a pricing strategy which is only going to irritate customers, and result in no repeat custom.

Lime and Soda £4.25. That's fizzy water and a splash of lime. Total rip off and complete disdain for customers. Would love to hear the justification of this price. Normally pay around a pound and that would make a healthy profit. Also no real ale. Won't be returning.

We went for a Sunday lunch. It's a sharing board, apparently for people with small appetites. I went specifically because i am gluten free and the menu says on the beef and Yorkshire pudding option (gf option available). The gf option is without Yorkshire pudding! Quite disappointing. The portion sizes of the meat is miniscule. Two small slices of beef, about the size of a slice of fray bentos corned beef shape. Qtr of chicken, just a leg piece. For £22! I also had the prawn starter which was 3 prawns in a bowl of salad. My son wanted pigs in blankets which was £7 for three small sausages in bacon! We all came away hungry. The Yorkshire pudding was similar to the size you get in a packet in Tesco. The only people who could possibly rave about the food here are those unable to boil an egg. The owner/manager seems to think he is funny, he isn't. His service is an acquired taste, one of which we had no desire to acquire.

A great place for a family meal. Great staff, great service, and good food. The only downside for me was that the conservatory we were in, with terrific views, was extremely cold.

Location is beautiful especially during the summer however- we have just had a roast and it was not great! Had a call 45 mins before our booking time (suppose to be 4:15pm) to ask if we were having a roast. They said roast finishes at 4pm yet their menu online and the menu handed to us when we arrived said 8pm. We rushed to get there. A pretty cold day and was sat in the conservatory- no heating on and pretty bleak decor, toilets not great. Roast Dinner came out hot but tasteless, flat and small Yorkshire pudding that cost £2.50!!!! Extra pigs in blankets £6.50 for 5 tiny pieces. Potatoes hard and not crispy, little meat! I found 3 hairs in my dinner and gravy was like water. Service was quick but that’s because we were the only ones in there eating (I believe this was why they said the roast finished at 4pm) In and out within 1 hr! £81 bill later. 4 cokes at £19 and got handed a receipt with a £7.10 service tip!!! Paid and left and won’t return for food unfortunately.

We recently visited The Rising Sun in Lacock to celebrate my mother’s birthday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our group of 14 was seated in the conservatory, which offered stunning views of the valley, making the meal even more special. I opted for the 9oz sirloin steak, cooked to perfection, and paired with hand-cut chips, garlic bread, and a rich peppercorn butter. The main was hearty and delicious. For dessert, I had a syrup sponge, which came with both custard and a scoop of Lacock vanilla ice cream, making it a delightful treat. The mix of warm syrupy sponge and creamy ice cream was divine. To finish, a well-brewed latte provided the perfect end to the meal. The service was impeccable. Despite our large party, the staff were attentive, friendly, and made our visit feel seamless. The setting of the conservatory, with its beautiful view, added a peaceful and elegant touch to the event. All in all, it was an outstanding experience, and I would highly recommend The Rising Sun for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion. The combination of superb food, stunning surroundings, and excellent service made my mother’s birthday meal truly memorable.

Just visited the rising sun for a roast, I must say we were very unhappy with the food. All the items apart from the gravy were cold. We didn’t want to make a fuss during our stay as the service was great but the food wasn’t. The starter I had lamb kofte was really unpleasant also, just two hard balls of “kofte” that I could barely cut into. The setting of the place is lovely and the staff were great, but unfortunately the food was really unsatisfactory.

As a frequent visitor of The Rising Sun in Lacock, I can confidently say that my family and I always enjoy our time spent at this charming establishment. From the moment you step inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere welcomes you, setting the tone for a delightful dining experience. One of the standout features of The Rising Sun is their offering of Asahi beer on tap. For beer enthusiasts like myself, having the opportunity to enjoy a fresh pint of Asahi straight from the tap adds a special touch to the overall enjoyment of the visit. The crispness and quality of the beer complement the delectable dishes on the menu perfectly, creating a harmonious dining experience. One of the highlights of The Rising Sun is the stunning terrace view from the balcony. It provides a picturesque backdrop that enhances the dining experience, especially during sunny days or serene evenings. The view adds an extra layer of relaxation and enjoyment to the ambiance of the restaurant. Aside from the delightful beer selection and breathtaking view, the staff at The Rising Sun truly elevate the overall dining experience. Their pleasant demeanor, attentiveness, and excellent service contribute significantly to making each visit a memorable and enjoyable one. Whether you have a question about the menu or need assistance with your order, the staff always go above and beyond to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. The Rising Sun offers a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, providing a refreshing environment where you can unwind and savor delicious food and drinks. Each visit feels like a rejuvenating retreat, allowing you to indulge in a moment of tranquility while relishing in the culinary delights and scenic beauty that the restaurant has to offer. In conclusion, The Rising Sun in Lacock is a gem of a place that consistently delivers on all fronts – from its delightful beer selection to its stunning terrace view and exceptional service. It is not just a dining experience; it is a moment of blissful relaxation and enjoyment that leaves you looking forward to your next visit. If you're seeking a place to unwind, indulge in great food and drinks, and bask in a soothing atmosphere, The Rising Sun is the perfect destination for you.

Thought as it was a beautiful evening we'd pop out for a vino and take in the views.

We’ve only just found this hidden gem and we have lived locally for eighteen years. The manager is incredibly personable and helpful.

I recommend the fish and chips, you can upgrade to the truffle chips which are out of this World. We don’t like busy environments so we tend to go midweek when it feels like our own private sanctuary. The views are breathtaking and there is a little children’s play area.

Nothing wrong with the location or with the staff. However, I wanted a late lunch so opted for the rocket, watercress and parmesan salad. I see the online sample menu lists this at £3.95 - in reality, try £7.95. As the uploaded photo indicates, there was zero watercress and, frankly, zero of merit here. The truffle chips were also pricier than the dates online menu. £7 or £8 for a novelty mini chip fryer with not a whiff of truffle. I can see a lot of positive comments regarding the food here, it's a shame I'm not able to add to them. I wouldn't have written a review, if I hadn't felt so distinctly ripped off.

Went for evening meal with the wife. After writing a negative review on FB they decided to block me rather than respond like most normal adults would. Poor choice of starters and the bbq chicken starter was mush and more like cat food. The most expensive thing on the menu was the steak which we both looked forward to. It was very fatty and came with a peppercorn sauce made from butter. The steak and chips were overpowered by the fat and grease from the butter. Very disappointing and quite frankly gross experience. Over £130 and was there for around an hour. They offered a complimentary desert but by that time had lost our appetite. Needles to say, won’t be rushing back

First of all, we can't knock the beautiful scenery of views this place has. The food overall was tasty, no concern here. However, value for money? Not really. Close to £14 for cheese on toast? (Welsh rarebit) £8 or so for 4 or 5 small pieces of belly pork bites. Similar price for a small terrine starter. Kids past and garlic bread reasonably priced and portioned. Our drinks (coke, diet coke, lemonade) very flat. The other gripe was the gentleman who served us at the bar. Had blonde long hair. Possibly the manager. Late 40s perhaps. We have never felt so rushed when ordering. Every item we ordered followed with a hurried "is that it?". Two rarebits please. Ok is that it? No. Kids pasta. Ok that's all then? No! The terrine Ok that's all? No.. Belly bites. NOW that's everything. On to the drinks. Two cokes. Ok that's everything? No!!!. and so on. Stop rushing us. It was not busy. Nobody queuing.

Truly awful experience, which we hate to leave such a negative review. We'll start with the Pros: - lovely views - Staff seemed pleasant Cons: - £2.50 for a child's squash. Water and cordial. Which tasted awful BTW - Nowhere near enough food served for the extremely high priced Sunday lunch. - Regardless if you order 2 separate Sunday lunches, it'll come on a sharing board. with 1 carrot and 1 parsnip. - Vegetarian/Vegan option is ''Nut Road'' but it's not a nut roast. It's mushed up rice/risotto. - The mixed veg is brought up in a cheese sauce that isn't great. - You have to pay an extra £2.50 for a Yorkshire Pudding!!!!!!!!!!!! We paid over £95 for 2 Sunday adult roasts, 2 children roasts, and 2 children squashes. My wife and I had tap waters!. We don't mind paying for food thats high priced, but the quality and the amount of food has to match. The whole sharing board situation, is an AWFUL business. Very confusing and should be rethought immediately if the business wants to stay afloat. We live local and can honestly say we sadly won't be coming here again.

Stopped for Sunday roast, loved the sharing board style, which means you can take as much or as little as you want. Very friendly staff always smiling. Good play area for the kids, will return on a less windy day! Good food, friendly staff, cracking views, child friendly, recommend a visit!.

Truly awful experience, which we hate to leave such a negative review. We'll start with the Pros: - lovely views - Staff seemed pleasant Cons: - £2.50 for a child's squash. Water and cordial. Which tasted awful BTW - Nowhere near enough food served for the extremely high priced Sunday lunch. - Regardless if you order 2 separate Sunday lunches, it'll come on a sharing board. with 1 carrot and 1 parsnip. - Vegetarian/Vegan option is ''Nut Road'' but it's not a nut roast. It's mushed up rice/risotto. - The mixed veg is brought up in a cheese sauce that isn't great. We paid over £95 for 2 Sunday adult roasts, 2 children roasts, and 2 children squashes. My wife and I had tap waters!. We don't mind paying for food thats high priced, but the quality and the amount of food has to match. The whole sharing board situation, is an AWFUL business.

Food was nice but the waiter made us feel like a nuisance, was quite rude. We’d paid extra for dinner in a dome outside which was nice but dampened by the attitude unfortunately.

Visited for the first time with friends for lunch. The food was lovely and served piping hot. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. The jewel in the crown is the beautiful views from the back of the hotel.

We went here for Mother's day Sunday lunch, as we entered we were greeted with lovely warm welcoming friendly smiles from all of the staff who were very tentative throughout our meals.I had the beef lunch and the others had the pork,all the meals were cooked to perfection all being of a good sized portions.......We were seated in the large conservatory which is situated out the back of the inn.....The views from the garden is lovely as you can see for miles....Overall it was a lovely experience.....👍

We came here for Sunday lunch, it was ok but when we got the bill we were shocked & confused. It clearly states £22 for 2 courses. We had one course each at £16.50 but the bill added on 3 x 1 course which was £11. So we were expected to pay for 2 courses. When we asked the explanation made no sense. On speaking to the manager and the explanation basically saying they charge that but don’t force people to have 2 courses, and of course they could take it off! And he did. And the service charge as I really didn’t feel generous enough to pay that after all that! The bill came right down, we paid and left. And we definitely won’t go back or recommend it. Shame because it’s a beautiful place.

Food was fine. Service was friendly but felt pushy, so slightly resented the automatic service charge. Decor felt very tired, at least where we were sitting. Such a shame; the views are amazing and potential is huge for this place.

Booked a table for two and requested the conservatory. Arrived a little early but told we would be in the bar area or 'lodge' because of the dog ........ we don't have a dog! We asked to be moved quite quickly because we were both cold (sitting just in front of the door with the outer door being open more often than not). We were moved to the lodge which was still chilly but with overhead heaters and blankets. The food was good albeit not very hot - serving on a wooden platter probably didn't help with that. The roast potatoes looked good but not as crispy as we prefer. Yorkshire puddings were large but certainly not worth the £2.50 required for any additional. Vegetables were good but the beef was the star of the meal - only two slices, but beautifully cooked and very tasty. Horseradish tasted homemade and certainly hit the spot. Dessert was also good. Couldn't fault the service but in future would certainly only visit on warmer days unless they could assure me I would be sitting somewhere warm.

Booked for Sunday lunch & payed extra for a pod. Disappointing. Pods tired, no blankets as advertised. Furniture shoddy. Underwhelmed. Food ok, not impressed you have to pay £2.50 extra for 1 Yorkshire pudding. Wouldn’t go back.

We have lived in Wiltshire for 10 years this was by far the best meal we have had since we moved here. Nothing was on the plate that shouldn't be there! The staff were attentive and the owner was friendly and gave sound advice on wine. If you haven't been here please give it a go, I promise you will not regret it. We will definitely be a new regular

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch experience, so booked their NYE package with friends . Great value, only £59 which included a tasty 3 course dinner, late night cheeseboard and a glass of fizz, to see in the New Year. Excellent food, service and atmosphere, thank you Rising Sun.

We’ve just enjoyed a wonderful family Sunday lunch at The Rising Sun in Lacock. We’ve been a few times before and once again the welcome was warm, the service excellent, the meal was delicious and the price was very acceptable. Plus, when the weather allows, the large garden is just great for outside eating and amazing views over the Wiltshire countryside.

Former employee posting: Do not give this company your custom. Employers have refused to pay owed tips and outstanding holiday pay to all staff despite consistent reminders, and are now withholding tips and threatening employees. Tips have not been received by staff since January this year. This was a hard working group of employees who do not deserve to be treated this way. For a pub with expensive pricing the profit is not seen by those doing the hard work.

Fabulous community owned pub run by professional landlords Charlie and Hannah. Food out of this world, brilliant selection of real ales and wines, wood burning stoves and all in a beautiful 16th century Inn! What more do you want!?

Nice local rustic pub, attentive service/lovely food. In warmer weather an outdoor seating area providing lovely views. ☺
