The Rising Sun in Dover

We have passed this pub/restaurant and heard from friends that they had a new chef. And a great new menu. Have now visited three times since lovely welcome. Lovely owners

New menu! Sunday lunch was fresh, tasty and plentiful. The extra gravy jug automatically supplied is a plus. Presented well and the service was excellent. Recommended to all and we will be returning.

Arrived at 6.45 ready for a lovely meal wasn’t disappointed, beautiful friendly old fashioned pub outside but very classy modern pub inside I had the Black Cod,Crushed potatoes, spiced Tomatoes sauce, and my wife had the Duck with bubble & Squeak followed by Creme brûlée and I had Bread butter pudding great friendly service Excellent all round highly recommended

Found this pub by chance. It's delightful with very nice people and good service, and the lunch was great. Also very good value for money. Shame we're not local to the area.

We had our wedding at The Rising Sun on 31st August, the service we received was completely outstanding. We could not recommend the Rising Sun enough. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, hot and cooked to perfection. Emma is an absolute diamond and made the arrangements for our wedding completely worry free. Our day was perfect, thanks to Emma and her lovely mum, Carol. Thank you all so so so much.

Went in on the off chance for Sunday roast for 2. They had a table spare Where we had the roast beef dinner and desserts waffle and ice cream & bread and butter pudding all of which was delicious and well made . Friendly and courteous staff Highly recommended We will return in future

Lovely lovely helpful friendly staff. Couldn't fault the customer service and friendliness. We went for sunday lunch, roast Beef was our choice...it arrived promptly with beef gravy and mixed green lettuce/salad .beef was abundant but over done and bland. Never before have I had this...cauliflower cheese on the side, which was cauliflower in a cream sauce no seasoning, and definitely no cheese .carrot broccoli and swede mash. Desert was bread and butter pudding...white bread, few raisins no flavour at all .custard was tasteless and cream like milk ..am really sad to review a business so badly . But i believe in honesty to survive....Really bland.. the pub is tired and the food was cafe style. Definitely wouldn't come back or recommend..sad as the staff are 100% professional and attentive and lovely

Wow, me and my friend stumbled across this lovely pub and i couldn’t be happier that we did! The atmosphere is lovely and i really feel welcomed and not rushed at all. The food was absolutely fantastic and i can’t wait to go back! Would absolutely recommend this pub to anyone!

Had such a wonderful meal and it's such a great atmosphere, warming and welcoming... Clean and we had wonderful service from Natalie. It's a really nice place and will definitely be returning... Thank you!

Superb Sunday lunch and steak. Ample vegetables and crispy roast potatoes. Ribeye steak superbly cooked and accompaniment's were plentiful. Drinks were good and service top rate.

Restaurants usually focus on the meat, with vegetables as a soggy afterthought. Not at the Rising Sun! The vegetables are cooked to perfection and served beautifully. They focus on what they are trying to achieve rather than having a menu that goes on for pages. Sunday Lunch is Sunday Lunch. We are here so often over the summer and could not fault it. Then we got busy, but now is the time to return. And there are lovely walks around the area and very unusal buildings.

Called in today, the first time for us, but friends had been before , lovely place in a great setting, the lady who greeted us was friendly and welcoming, sat in comfy chairs until our order was ready. Wow what a meal, thank you so much, will come again.

We went on a hot sunny afternoon 3 adults and a dog we sat in the outside seating aria the staff were fantastic and engaging. The food was delicious . Great service a lovely country pub worth a visit ! We will be back.

Stumbled across the Rising Sun on way to the coast for dinner, stopped for a drink but were so welcomed and loved the surroundings so stayed for food which was delicious- steak and mushroom stroganoff- will definitely be back

Went to the rising sun for mother day,haven't been for a couple of years, family of 5 had a lovely meal, couldn't fault anything would definitely coming back.

Just had lunch at this country pub. Firstly the land-lord and lady are extremely welcoming, with friendly, helpful staff members. Lunch was prompt, very tasty and reasonably priced. I thoroughly recommend this establishment for either a drink by the cosy fireside or to eat in the restaurant. Will definitely be returning

What a lovely revisit. I booked for my friends birthday lunch and it was fabulous. The pub is cosy, rustic, and filled with pre christmas decor. The menu is extensive and well priced. I'd rate the food as 9/10 only falling short on the chips.

Great find those place ,best food too beautiful inside and alot bigger than I thought . Waitress very helpful

If you've ever wished to find the loveliest County pud that's serves amazing food, you need to visit the Rising Sun in Stourmouth. It is simply the finest place, the food offerings are sublime. I've now visited them 3 times in 4 weeks. I've tried the Vegetable soup, it's home made and you literally taste the love that's cooked into it. Next I was treated to the BEST Chateaubriand I have had in many years, the Créme Brulee is to die for, and belive me, having travelled twice monthly to France for over 10 years, I know good Créme Brulee! Second Visit I tried the Paté and Toast, very nice indeed. The pate has a wonderful rich and deep flavour. For my main, I chose the Steak pie. And wow! Not only Full of richly cooked and melt in the mouth steak, the pie crust was fab, its no chip shop pie, it was square and reminded me of a mini castle on a plate! The mashed potatoes, and veggie accompaniment were both well cooked and clearly very fresh. Pud was again, the Créme Brulee. Tonight I was back, (Friday 18th November) bringing my best friend, he Informed me the scampi and chips was as good as he's ever had. I chose the Filled Yorkshire pudding, which is filled and overflows with tender chicken breast, bacon and sweetcorn in a creamy white wine sauce, accompanied by deliciously fresh new potatoes, and a side of seasonal veggies. To sum up, the pubs homely atmosphere is enhanced by the friendly and welcoming attitude of the hosts, Chris and Carol. The food is excellent and well priced. And I honestly cannot wait until I have an excuse to pop back in and sample more food from the menu. I highly recommend the Rising Sun, it's a hidden Treasure on the East Kent Coast, inland a few miles from Minster in Thanet. If you do go and try them out, mention Mark sent you!

A beautiful Sunday lunch for 4, good beer, good wine and good food. A friendly pub and eatery in a country setting, with genuine hosts attentive to all our needs.

Really friendly staff and a lovely venue. On booking we were excited by the extensive menu however the actual food although well presented and absolutely fine to eat was a little disappointing. I would rather have less choice and more home made options. Some of the food appeared to be more freezer staples than chief prepared.

We had lunch here and it was delicious. Midweek so not too busy, great service and friendly staff. Proper short crust pastry pie was like my mum used to make 😍 Both of us had dessert which was also lovely. Will be coming back again soon, can definitely recommend the food.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch here with family. We were seated quickly in a lovely spacious, cool dining hall. The tables are nicely spaced so you don't get chairs from other tables in your back or people squeezing past. Our order was taken quickly and as it was an incredibly hot day we had the ploughman's, except my other half who had the rib eye steak. We had plenty of time for a catch up before our food arrived. Everything was nicely laid out and looked delicious. Desert was ordered and eaten. The Rising Sun mess was gorgeous and the staff did one for a family member with ice cream rather than cream. Nothing was a problem for the staff, who were very polite and courteous. The whole time we were there, about 2½ hours, we were not rushed and had a very enjoyable experience.

We took my partner's parents for a Father's Day lunch. From first contact, when I rang to book, the staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble, I can't fault them. Very pleasant place to eat and drink.

I had very nice evening out at The Raising sun.Food was delicious and fresh,well presented. Table service very good and nice smiling waitress and lovley kind owners. Very nice and warm atmosphere. Thank you.

Let me start by saying my friend and I are both in our late 70’s and prior to the Pandemic we ate out together without our wives approx. one Sunday a month. To-day Sunday 5th September we started the process again and elected to go...

After a long walk you do not need any hassle, just friendly good service and freshly cooked food. This is what we got!. My colleague who professes to be an expert on liver and bacon said it was the best he had ever tasted!

I don't normally like to write bad reviews, but our meal was awful. We have been here twice before lockdown and found it to be quite pleasant. It's a nice pub and friendly staff. But this time we found our meal to be really poor....

Had a very nice meal in this pub. Lovely staff. Both my wife and I enjoyed the food. Be aware that currently the pub only opens Thursday to Sunday.

We ate here in November 2020. Food at that time really poor. One fish dish smelt so off that we didn’t even attempt it. They didn’t charge for it, but should never have served it in the first place. Any chef worth their salt would...

After having an awful experience at a nearby pub we phoned the rising sun on the off chance they could accommodate us and they could, what a great choice this place was, the service was top draw and the food and drinks were just as...

Birthday meal out, First visit to a pub since Covid lockdown. Rising Sun Covid measures all in place, we went early Saturday eve, very quiet and excellently managed. Meal was fantastic, good size portions, great beer and didn't break the bank !

We met up with friends for a meal at the Rising Sun, on their recommendation. There really is nothing to fault here - the owners of the pub and all of the staff cannot do enough for you. We liked the way that you order...

this place doesnt look much from the outside but was so lovely inside. we were seated straight away and service was prompt. We both went for the roast dinners and it was cooked to perfection with plenty of vegetables served on the side. we popped...

Friendly welcome, pleasant service, impressed by the choice of dishes. Very generous portions. It's a nice place to go to, I definitely recommend

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, good service. Good choice of food, including chefs special. No undue waiting between courses. We couldn't eat all of it, the portions were very generous

Visited this Sunday, at the last minute, following a long walk. Great staff, comfortable surroundings. Sunday lunch was generously portioned, well cooked and very reasonably priced. No complaints whatsoever. Would recommend and we will be back.

How to start, what a fantastic country pub. From the moment you walk in you are greated with a lovely warm welcome. The Staff and landlord had time to chat and nothing was a problem they simply could not do enough for you. The Food....

Tempted to go to the toilet and I asked where the toilet is to the bar man and he said there’s no toilets

Took older relative here for a birthday lunch. Food was great and large amounts, staff very attentive and a very bright and clean pub. Only down side was the load music.

Chris, carol and the staff have made all of our visits over the past 4 years excellent. This is a friendly welcoming pub with excellent food at good prices. We have tried many pubs but always prefer this one. We would thoroughly recommend this to anyone. Thankyou and well done to the Rising Sun!!

This was the first time we had visited the Rising Sun We had a great meal. Staff very friendly & welcoming.

Absolutely amazing meal, a party of 6 and all very happy. The service was excellent and my steak was a fantastic cut and cooked to perfection. The pepper sauce was very strong which is how I like it, but I can see it being a bit much for some people. The bar area is excellent too, well worth a visit and only 20 mins from Margate or Broadstairs.

The food, comfort, prices and service were all acceptable, but one woman, assumed to be the manager, was so sour-faced, even when thanked for the evening, that it spoilt the overall experience. You take our money, the least you could do is smile graciously.

We came with our friends on Saturday night and had a wonderful evening! We were warmly greeted on arrival, joined our friends in the “lounge” area where we waited until our table was ready which we didn’t wait long for.

We went here for a sunday lunch with family who were over here from canada. Have a lovely lunch service was great very friendly and christmas looked lovely

Well where do we start? Booked for hubby's birthday meal and decided I would book a room so that he could enjoy a drink and not worry about driving home, once again we were greeted like old friends by our wonderful hosts and the lovely staff. The meal was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious(we ate far too much) the food here is way better than I've eaten in top restaurant's and consistently so. The room was cosy with everything we needed and more and most importantly it was spotlessly clean and so peaceful. We would recommend the rising sun to everyone. Superb

Will definitely return. Started with Nachos. Devine and even better for the fact they replaced the jallopino pepper for normal peppers. I had the chicken and leak pie. Absolutely beautiful. My husband had the beef pie. 10 out of 10. The waitress was welcoming on arrive and polite and courteous throughout. We will be back next time we will bring some too and sure we won't be disappointed. Thanks for a nice evening

Came here recently can't fault anything. Perfect as always. Highly recommended steak is lovely and hi highly recommend the paella is great value for money and taste unbelievable. Would come back here again. Been to over places around and this us the benchmark

Arrived to a warm welcome pub felt very cold needs heating when it's cold.

Went for Sunday lunch - Booked at last moment and lucky to get in as very busy. Very spacious layout with good distance between tables. We both had Sunday Roast - served with fresh vegetables with generous portion sizes. Will definitely visit again.

We had a meal here on a Friday evening, and although the place seemed very quiet, we still found it to be cosy (with couches in corners) and enjoyed a lovely dinner (in the nice dining area). The food was really good and the staff were very friendly.

I would like to point out to the review from Skala69 that I have visited this establishment for several years and not at any time have I or any of my family and friends been disappointed with the food.

Having attended a wedding reception here a couple of years ago I decided to arrange a family meal in celebration of my parents golden wedding anniversary. A party of 17. We were able to decorate the function room which was lovely. The waitress was lovely but the food was very disappointing. The burgers were so dry and inedible however the dog seemed to like it. The chips were not nice either. Soup was £4.75 and wasn’t that nice, it said it came with a crusty roll but it was a burger bun! I think most of the party left a fair amount of their meals which was a shame. We brought my parents a cake and we served it after the desserts, we hoped that teas or coffees would be served but they weren’t. Between us we spent quite abit if money on food and drinks. There were 4 people in the bar during our meal so they weren’t rushed off there feet. We left a tip for the lovely waitress but felt the manager Carol not that friendly at all. Food was very basic and overpriced, really expected better food than we got. Won’t return

Fantastic Sunday Lunch. The service was excellent and everyone was so friendly. Will definitely go back.

A very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Nice selection of food on the menu and a good range of local beers at the bar.

Went here for the first this evening for dinner. Hadn’t booked but were made very welcome on arrival by a friendly couple behind the bar who really could not have been more friendly. Ordered some drinks at the bar and decided to sit outside due the lovely warm evening, but were advised that should we want to sit inside if it got too hot we would be more than welcome to move.

We came here to a Christening here a few week back, being out in the sticks didn't realise what a lovely place it was.

Wow, what a lovely great place. Great food, great service and Chris and Carol made us feel so welcome. I was best man at a wedding at the rising sun and can’t say enough good things about the place. Food was lovely, bar was full but yet staff were quick and friendly. When I next come down to Stourmouth, Canterbury, I will pop in for a drink.

A wonderful pub . Good size restaurant with an additional sofa waiting/ relaxing with a drink area. Surroundings modern with plenty of space around the tables. Additional area for parties/wedding receptions etc. that does not impact on the restaurant. Fair size garden with seating for the lovely sunny days.

we had a very nice meal in good surroundings . enjoyed the beer which as usual is well kept. Friendly staff and good service . All freshly cooked .

We had our wedding reception here. We had an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff at The Rising Sun worked very hard and could not have done a better job. The staff decorated the room for us with some decorations which we had brought to match our colour scheme of light blue and also some decorations which The Rising Sun had as well. The room looked absolutely beautiful. We paid for The Rising Sun to provide chair covers and table cloths and it was definitely worth it. With the fairy lights which are already there wound round the wooden beams, the room looked like the perfect rustic venue we had dreamed of.

Visited for the first time with friends and really impressed, from the outside doesn’t have the ‘wow factor’ but inside very modern and well presented. Greeted with a smile and friendly welcome and asked if we wanted to chill out in the comfy chairs whilst making our menu choices for dinner which was a nice touch.

We had Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed very nice, all fresh with tasty beef. Friendly service. Nice carpark back and front. This was our first visit in a few years so we will be back.

Absolutely lovely, great food, plenty of it, very nice friendly staff, would highly recommend for wedding or birthday bash!catered well for the event and they serve morretti beer! Happy days!

I absolutely love this place, it’s perfect! The owners and staff are so lovely and welcoming. The food is always top quality, they have a very good menu. I also love the location, it’s very pretty and peaceful, especially when it’s sunny so we can sit outside. They also have comfy sofas in front of an open log fire inside for when it’s cold weather, to keep their guests warm and cosy.

We stopped here on our way back home, i haven't been here in years and it certainly has changed, it is still inviting and has a cosy feel but with a modern twist, we sat in the lounge area on comfortable settees, it wasn't very busy at this time as it was late afternoon early evening so i think we got there before the rush as we have been told it can get rather busy.

We visited as a family group and were really impressed by the quality of the food and by the very helpful and attentive waitress. The steaks were exceptional as were the home cooked vegetables. The portions were so generous we were all too full for dessert.The real ales were a bonus. We would certainly go back again

Beautiful restaurant, warm friendly and very welcoming. Food was amazing. We had the chateaubriand for two which was cooked for perfection. Price was well worth it for the standards we received. Will most certainly be recommending and returning! Thank you!

This must be about the 1pth time we have come and have never been disappointed. Always friendly and welcoming and the good is always good. This time I had the garic mushrooms to start and then the chicken kiev. Very nice, well cooked and filling....

Lovely afternoon spent having food and chilling on the sofas by the log burner. Chatted to owner who was very friendly and accommodating. Nice meal and atmosphere, great background music. Thank you

With an anniversary party, large room well decorated and warm, all twenty five meals very served quickly and were hot! Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Went to The Rising Sun with a few friends on Saturday afternoon. The place was empty apart from a small family sitting at the bar. This probably is a reflection of their beer as the restaurant was not open therefore nobody wanted to be their....

Visited as a group for a family birthday. The service from the waitressing staff was excellent. Clearly there is a talented chef, however for the price point it seems they could buy better quality produce. I had the deep fried Brie to start (which comes...

Second time here for Xmas lunch as a group, warm welcome by staff, lovely atmosphere tastefully decorated for Christmas. Nice open fire and comfy sofas while we ordered. Excellent attentive staff and lovely food plenty of choices - no complaints.

We arranged for a large group of us to have lunch here yesterday. It was my first visit. I cannot speak highly enough about our experience. Our group had pre booked from a large selection from the standard and Christmas menus as there were 30...

Good menu from Paella to roast dinner. Great desserts. The pub was filled with beautiful Christmas decorations. Very clean and friendly staff.

A first visit for us. Immediately welcomed by happy staff. Settled down by the roaring fire to read through the menu. Attentive and knowledgeable staff. Food was excellent well presented tasty and plentiful. Great variety to select from. Brilliant dessert choice. Nothing was too much...

I would like to thank everyone at The Rising Sun Pub for providing beautiful food and great service! I'd pre booked a table for Saturday evening as we were staying locally in the area for my boyfriends 21st Birthday treat. I asked if they could...

My husband and I had an impromptu decision to go out and decided to go to the Rising Sun in Stourmouth. Our meal was nothing less than fantastic,as always. Will be going back very soon. Thank you Chris and Carole. Xxx

I've been here twice whilst staying locally and both times there has been a wedding. The place has great potential and food was lovely but was made to feel a bit unwelcome, think it's because they were focusing on the function. I'd like to go back but I'd check in advance there wasn't an event going on.

Very slow service "we've been busy" ( the place was 1/2 empty)When the much anticipated food arrived 3 of the mains were inedible. In fairness they offered to replace them but what followed wasn't much better.Very disappointed- it's in a lovely location and could be a gold mine.

My wife and myself went to The Rising Sun for Sunday lunch as we have eaten there several times in the past and have found the food to be excellent. Today was no exception the food was great and the service really good, staff very friendly and surroundings were beautiful. For a good meal at reasonable prices I would recommend giving this restaurant a try.

Wow these guys made my 50th birthday meal a real treat. We had started our evening at the duck inn where the food was so bad we left early so decided to try the rising sun as we had often driven past. So very glad we did, the food was wonderful,the atmosphere was relaxed and happy and the staff charming and welcoming even though they had a huge party in. We can heartily recommended the rising sun to everyone and we will be returning as soon as we are back in the country. We will also be bringing friends.

My family and I attended a wedding reception here on the 10th June. Obviously a lot of people were arriving at the same time, this caused some problems in the car park as it was quite small, however when parked and went in we found that there was another car park on the other side of the pub bear this in mind. We went round to the gardens at the back of the pub, there was a lawned area and a large patio area, this was all clean and tidy. The inside of the pub was also clean and tidy apart from the gents toilet being blocked. This was rectified quite quickly, we found it strange that we were not allowed to go into the room that was set out for the reception but later found that the landlords wanted the Bride and Groom to see it first. The reception meal was a BBQ and was cooked freshly in front of us all, it did get somewhat smokey in the gardens but what BBQ doesn't. The food was good and other family members said that they had eaten there before and the food was lovely. All in all a very pleasant experience, parents need to be aware that if they have children in the garden area there is nothing to stop them going into the car parks and ultimately the road.

came here again and we did have a wonderful meal..just the wifes chips were a bit soggy..why..normally crisp maybe just a bad day.service excellent

We used to love to visit this country pub/restaurant every now and then and found the owners and the food pleasant but today the food was absolutely awful the Sunday roast was inedible tough meat with No roast potatoes Yorkshire hard and inedible most of the staff seemed pleasant enough, bar one girl with a ponytail who threw our plates on the table when we asked for bread obviously not having a good day, a bit like us what a shame we shan't go again.

Made very welcome, set a table for us in the bar as we had 3 dogs. Excellent food, wine and service. Going again later in the week if we get the chance.

We were recommended this pub/restaurant whilst staying on holiday in the area. We phoned to book a table and were very pleasantly surprised when they confirmed they accept dogs. I am fussy with my food, but all dishes were beautifully cooked, well presented and delicious. We actually booked for the following night as we enjoyed it so much. The staff and helpful and friendly and there is just a lovely atmosphere throughout. We just couldn’t fault it.

Myself and my now wife; got married here recently and all I can say is that we had a the best time getting married here and it went with fault.From the word go Carole and the team handled everything and made our special day one that we will never forget

We have been dining here for nearly 12 years now, when the present owners were relatively new and they have added a fantastic extension with beams and a wood burning stove, all wood.In the years we have been coming, we have never had a bad meal and the atmosphere is buzzing. The menu has a good assortment, which will suit all types including children.Big enough for a large party, they are very pleasant the owners usually take time out for a chat. We have introduced many friends here and all have enjoyed the food and surroundings.

We ate here as part of a large birthday group. Very nicely surprised by the spacious Conservatory style dining area The food had been pre-orderd. All three courses were delicious. We were a party of 14 and we were all served in good time and not one person had a single grumble or complaint about anything their plates. The chicken kiev was a huge, proper chicken breast ( not some pumped up supermarket type), the steaks were perfectly cooked and looked succulent and tasty. very generous portions. The roast beef was a little light on meat for some of the men but all agreed it was tasty. The roast potatoes were perfection.. hand cut chips were good too. (I ate too much of both). I didnt like my dessert, of banoffee pie as it was too sweet for me but I think that was more because of my taste than there being anything wrong with it. Everything was clearly homemade.The surroundings in the rest of the pub were lovely. Even the Ladies was clean and fragrant . Will definitely be going back there.

Warm welcome when we arrived where we went into a room to make our order for food. Went into another room to sit down where the startes came out pretty quick. All seemed good...I went for the carrot and coriander soup. Watery with no flavour. Then for main I had a sausage ploughman's which was with apple which was on the turn. Few chrisps and 2 stick slices. I didn't want to Wright this review but it was the rude male owner at the end once he took my money which pissed me off... "everything OK with your meal?" To which I said "yea lovely but just a bit of feedback about the soup, it was just to Watery" I didn't like the no response and evil look I received from the showmanistic owner when he went and spoke to another customer. Constructive criticism mate, maby use cream to thicken up your soup not water???

Have visited many times over the years. If you like good beer and an open fire with comfortable seating, this is the place for you. Good for bar lunches and a superb restaurant with plenty of seating. Reasonable selection of wines, ales, ciders, etc. All food cooked from fresh so worth the wait, which isn't long. Plenty of parking spaces. Situated out of the way in a lovely rural area, not far from the Kentish Stour. Rooms available, but we haven't used them. Staff very friendly and helpful.

excellent xmas lunch and birthday treat for my mum.Food as always super and the staff great...no wonder we keep coming back when we canThe food was plentyful and they even got some ballons with 80 on them for my mother

Booked a meal to meet friends before Christmas and the first thing that struck us was that the place was deserted. In fact we were the only people eating on a Saturday night! Would have been nice to been offered the chance to eat in the bar area instead of the large bare room with music on repeat. Putting aside the lack of atmosphere, the food was also very average and not worth the money. So unfortunately a disappointing visit.

After a very pleasant weekend at the beach house we decided to book a Sunday lunch before the drive back to London. We had booked a table of 6 (included 2 children) and were seated after ordering a round of drinks from the at the bar. The main dining room is really nice and bright with plenty of space. The service and the food was impeccable. Our children were well and truly fussed over adding to a very relaxed Sunday lunch. The dessert board was the icing on the cake for me personally. Not one dessert that I would not have eaten. Everyone in our group agreed that we will be returning the next time we are in town. A true find for us.

Arriving at The Rising Sun to find somewhere that was serving food was like arriving at an oasis when you are thirsty. Our party was met with a warm, welcoming greeting as we walked through the door. The environment was great - it was clean and well-decorated. After ordering drinks we were invited to sit in comfortable arm chairs around a lovely open fire while we made our food choices. After an appropriate amount of time, our orders were taken and we were left to enjoy the environment. A little while later we were invited through to the restaurant where were served with well-presented, beautifully cooked and extremely delicious home-made, home-cooked food. The service was friendly and efficient. What more can I say - you've got to try this place out for yourselves. I will definitely be going back.
