The Rising Sun in Richmond upon Thames

Desde la adquisición por Young's, han subido los precios y cambiado las cervezas. ¡Pero lo más importante es que han arruinado las pizzas! Anoche las pizzas eran horribles, con la masa sin levantar, cruda en el medio. El lugar sonaba como una guardería, con más niños pequeños que adultos.

Friendly staff quality ale good food and service nice local with a good atmosphere.

Had lunch with two friends today at The Rising Sun in Twickenham. A great venue, really friendly staff (we were looked after Sam and Harvey), and the pizzas were phenomenal (highly recommend the Diavola). I'll definitely be back very soon.

Dropped in here on the way back from Twickenham. Really good.

Food: I had a quick pizza here a couple of weeks ago and the anchovies flavour was pretty good. I think that the pizza bread was also pretty OK as well.

Es triste decir esto, pero el pub ha dado un gran giro a la baja. Este fue uno de los favoritos de la familia para todas las familias escolares para el viernes de pizza. Pero todos hemos empezado a ir a otro lado. La “comida para niños” es ahora solo un menú para niños. La bebida y el helado ahora es cargable (y para tu información, para evitar un derretimiento en el pub, el helado ahora no tiene cono y no hay aspersión 🤷🏼‍♀️). Pero el GRAN PROBLEMA es lo que le han hecho a las pizzas. El pub construyó su reputación hace años como ‘el pub con las pizzas increíbles’. Young’s parecen decididos a homogeneizar esta sorprendente diferencia en comida barata y sosa. La pizza que pedimos esta noche fue horrible. No hay queja en la cocina, pero los ingredientes con los que están trabajando son terribles. El precioso queso italiano ha sido reemplazado por cheddar (en una pizza? ). La picante salchicha italiana es ahora pepperoni barato. Sabía a queso en tostadas... lo que podríamos haber hecho en casa gratis. Y que, la semana que viene, haremos en casa gratis. El pan con el hummus también era horrible. ¿Qué le has hecho a un lugar increíble con el mejor activo de la ciudad... un horno de pizza? En serio Youngs. Ordenar antes de perder su audiencia apasionada.

What a brilliant place !! Amazing people always makes us feel comfortable and welcomed, an amazing chef known as a B. We always say B Chef. Thank you Rising Sun and team for everything. Highly recommended

Popped in for a quick drink - Great Pub in east Twickenham - Fantastic park next door called marble hill park!!!

Perfect we all had different dishes was served together timing excellent 🥰

Very expensive and mediocre service. Crisps £1.65 per packet.

Great location soon to be taken over by Young's though at end of October so will be interesting to see what if anything changes

Friday night not too busy, As we walked in we walked past the open kitchen with pizza oven. The chef greeted us, He was really friendly and really helpful, offered us menus. We found a table, The bar staff came over. Offered us drinks. really good atmosphere, nice music not too loud. Tried the stonebake pizzas. They were really really nice. Definitely 5 Stars would happily come back.

Great food. Nice family vibe. Amazing location. Clean and proper.

One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten

Stopped by with my SIL and a few of her friends for the pub quiz. The quiz host was excellent. Great beer served by friendly efficient staff. Didn't eat this visit but have previously several times. Would recommend all that I've tried. Reasonable prices for for the area. Nice park over the street. More family friendly than most places over the bridge.

What a nice pub! Lovely outdoor sitting area. Amaizing food and service. Pizza arrived fast and it was delicious. Good selection of beer on tap and something for everyone on the menu 10/10

A great pub to drop into for a beer or nine, The Rising Sun offers a touch of country living in the heart of the metropolis that is London, Twickenham to the west and Richmond to the east. A couple of casks on today although, it looks like more are usually on offer. Good selection of keg beers to quench ones thirst. A busy open kitchen sees many a dish heading directly to the famished patrons. A delightful place for a drink or two 😁

Precioso pub, increíble jardín de cerveza. Buen ambiente y tiene elección de bebidas. Ayer hacía mucho sol y decidí sentarme afuera y tomarme un aperol... absolutamente asqueroso! Sin prosecco, sin refresco. Preguntó al camarero si podía añadir al menos Prosecco, le puso una rodaja de limón. Nada de naranja, limón 🤣 shambles defo no estará pidiendo esa bebida allí nunca más. Pero todo lo demás estaba bien.

Revisé el sitio web que mostraba el horario de cocina a partir de las 12. 00 a 21. 00 horas. Fui con un amigo el miércoles 24 de julio a las 7. 30 pm con la esperanza de cenar, pero fue dicho por un barman bastante grosero que acababan de dejar de servir. No hay razón. No recomendado

Came in for a beer and a bite to eat , got told kitchen closed then they served other people and staff ,after twenty min of getting there .

Nos encontramos con un día de partido con hambre en el camino entre Richmond y Twickenham Stadium. Nuestro local de servicio recomendó el Sol Naciente como un pozo - parada para una pizza rápida. El consenso del grupo fue que las pizzas estaban entre las mejores que hemos probado por cualquiera de nosotros - vegetarianos y omnívoros por igual, ¡realmente lo estaban! Mis propios apoyos brillantes van a la Margherita - tomate, fior di latte, parmesano, albahaca (V) , y la Americana - tomate, fior di latte, salchicha pepperoni picante.

We enjoyed the choice of real ales and vodka's finding something to suit both us. The member of staff who served was friendly and had time for a chat. Great place to stop for a few drinks which we were able to drink in the beer garden as the weather was good. The toilets are down a flight of steps but were clean and tidy.

Buzzy atmosphere (although there was a football game on TV, so maybe not typical). Great pizzas.

I didn’t eat but heard it’s great. Lovely pub

Lovely atmosphere outside, very helpful staff. Only had drinks, but menus looked Interesting!

gone downhill to the point it’s awful. bad food. 80 min wait for food. out of half the food. just terrible now. go down the rd to one of many better pubs

I have not stopped here in over 10 years. Was recommended to check out the Tuesday pizza night. The pies were outstanding. The staff was tremendously kind and accommodating. Thank you all as well for helping me to recover my forgotten Oyster card! This place is legit.

Popped in here for lunch ahead of the Rugby Premiership Final. The Rising Sun was staffed well, with employees who communicated well. The menu was simple but the meals we opted for were done well, served hot and were tasty. There was a good range of drinks. This all led to a wholesome family atmosphere. We will return. 😁

i would leave it 0 star if i could

Happened to be in Twickenham. Went to Rising Sun years ago and decided to go for lunch. Not impressed. Fish put on plate upside down. Peas were hard. Chips were nothing special. Sunday lunch wasn’t mentioned which I spotted on this website in the menu but not on the menu we were given. Wouldn’t go again

The food was alright - but nothing special. The service was terrible, at first the waiter didn’t even put in the food order for one of the party and the food they didn’t wasn’t all correct - nothing taken off the bill as an apology for their mistake (it wasn’t even busy so not sure how this happened) I would probably avoid due to the price and service, much better in the area Staff too busy chatting and having smoke breaks to care about customers

Very nice pizza on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Friendly staff

Went there for pizzas and beers, great staff and nice outside space

A couple of drinks outside in the beer garden. Nice vibe to the place, drinks reasonably priced and staff happy and helpful. Good place to have a few in the sun. Didn't eat so can't comment on the food but it looked and smelled tasty!

Great place… Fantastic food.. Fantastic staff Been dining here for over a year now. We’ve Always had a great experience. Best pizza ever…… Thank you

This spot used to be great, so when it was suggested we go for a quick burger( or two) and a pizza after a walk in the park I was looking forward to it. Never again! No real service to speak of… had to ask for everything twice including cutlery once the food had been just sitting there for over ten minutes ! They also served one burger first, then a pizza ten minutes later, then a burger. Ie the majority of food was cold by now. As for the food - what a disappointment The burgers were all wrong and the driest I have ever ever had - just burnt. How is it possible to so mess up an order of two cheeseburgers with bacon and instead serve two bone dry burger patties with nothing else on the burnt burger bun but a wedge of old lettuce ?? Who when someone asks if their extremely sloppy pizza can be boxed up by the wait staff to maybe take away instead just throws a pizza box on the table and then walks away ?? Seriously what a dismal attempt of a restaurant. We left as soon as we could. No point in complaining when the staff spent more time chatting to each other than ever serving paying customers. Won’t be back .. and that’s a sham as it could be great and deserves far better.

Beer is good and the pizzas are excellent. The staff are great - provide good service and always delivered with a smile.

The genuine Italian pizza offered a delightful culinary experience, truly capturing the essence of traditional flavors. The ambiance of the establishment added to the charm, making it a delightful spot for dining. However, the service did not meet the same high standards, detracting from the overall experience. I had to wait for thirty minutes after placing my food order. It was evident that one of the chefs was not familiar with food hygiene principles, as he was observed repeatedly touching his hair and then handling the food without washing his hands.

Huge portions for their Sunday roast (I was unable to finish it -- which is a first)! especially given the low cost. The pizza looked good, too. Staff were nice, and service was decent. Would return.

Always a good experience, pizzas are consistently good, Melena and Harvey are assets to your business.

One of my favourite pubs in the area. Nice beers and great pizzas - especially on a Tuesday when it’s 2 for 1! Really tasty food and service has always been great for us.

A busy service and no table service to speak of. Had to ask menus, for the bench to be dried - it wasn't, despite saying it would be. Ordered at the bar. Food came in good time however and was reasonably priced. Overcharged as 'there is a new menu', rectified when we queried it. Definitely lacking service with a smile. Won't return for that reason.

My first time to this lovely pub and it certainly won’t be my last! Dog friendly. The food was tasty and drinks too. Lovely staff and great service.

Chef Dennis's culinary skills are truly extraordinary! My dining experience at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. From the delectable hummus to the mouthwatering salmon tartas, seabass, and pepperoni pizza, every dish was out of this world. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking an unforgettable gastronomic adventure. Kudos to Chef Dennis and the entire team!" 🍽️👏 #FoodieParadise #ChefDennisCuisine #FiveStarExperience

Our favourite local pub. Great freshly cooked pizzas, a good selection of (often local) beer, nice and good value wine by the glass. We love the friendly staff and it's a great place for watching a big sporting occasion too, inside or outside.

We were very well looked after by the staff last night. Delicious pizza and a good selection of drinks. For a party of 18 they gave us a private area and it was perfect for us. We will definitely be coming as a group more often!!

Tuesday pizza offer will become our newly chosen tradition.

Lovely, cosy local pub. Great selection of beers, great food. Some activities such as quiz nights some evenings. Age range is diverse, family and pet friendly.

Two for one pizza on Tuesdays, need I say more? Try the diavola

A good environment to relax and think well opposite the marble hill park.

Love the hospitality and food from the team, always feel welcome! Thank you Denis for always looking after my family, outstanding service and great food? We’ll recommend!

I love this place...but my dog may love it that much more. Great staff, great service, great food and relaxed atmosphere. Anything else we need... 🤷‍♂️

Pizzas are peng 🔥🔥. Great staff and service

Beautiful pub and fantastic food !

Fantastic place and pizza is really tasty

Really good pizzas, friendly and helpful staff and great atmosphere. Will be back soon!

Great pizza if you have patience to wait for it. Great spot and atmosphere given the location. Individually staff are friendly, but feels like they’re run off their feet all the time, and that’s reflected in their collective poor attitude and the wait service. Outside area starting to feel run down and drab.

Rudest service I've ever experienced in a pub. Blanked by two bar staff... Not even a hello. So glad there is plenty of choice in the area which are far far friendlier. Drinking meths out of a brown paper bag would be preferable to having the misfortune to visit this unfriendly, soulless place. ETA - after following up, there is an alleged email sent by an "Ed" which I've never received, nor is any other correspondence being answered. What a weird way to run a business.

Friendly staff at this pub. Good quality Pizzas there.

Sunday lunch time visit with family. Great selection of good quality food covering all our dietary needs. Was busy yet we were still given excellent level of service.

Really nice place and great pizza! The personnel was super friendly and the outdoor space is gorgeous. We will deff come back!

Nice place, usually quite busy and great pizzas.

Great food, great drinks and great service!

Excellent, most highly recommended. The food and atmosphere were great, and the Italian lady who served us made us feel so welcome and valued.

Love this friendly pub. Pizza is delicious and they have a lovely outdoor area. Perfect for warm summer days.

We hadn't been in since lockdown (as we had moved away). It was good to experience the excellent pizzas again, and their fine real ales. The service was great despite the business of the place

Sad we can’t give zero.. we come in 20:47, we’re being told kitchen closes at 9, which is already not professional at it’s not even 20:50. We come back the next day at 8 and now we’re being told kitchen closes at 8. Should be 6pm while we’re at it, this is summertime people like us finish work at 6:30pm we wanted a nice fire wood pizza after work but I guess we’ll have to get our buisness somewhere else.

Very relaxing atmosphere and excellent food

Great pub. Really friendly staff and good service. Food is amazing. Will definitely go back

Very nice pub with friendly and polite staff

We're here for wedding reception. Stunningly good service, pizzas were brought out hot and the person serving us (didn't ask her name)could not have been more helpful and never seemed fazed by anything. Definitely somehere I'd love to return to.

Nice spacious pub with good collection of gin. Otherwise just good but nothing which make it stand out

Friendly staff, nice location opposite Marble Hill. Food / Pizza was really good and came out quickly.

Nice pub...good food and service

Smart food orientated contemporary pub.

I finally ate a delicious Italian pizza… the pizza chef is Italian and thanks to him I was able to find a real 72-hour leavened pizza dough. thanks a lot my friend

Great place for a drink after church, they're always great hosts to us.

Great pub pre-rugby! Great atmosphere but not rammed like the rest of them. Food was good and wait was acceptable considering it was pretty busy!

For Twickenham game days, and with a booking, this is one of the best places to go in the area. Far enough away from the throng but close enough to be able to complete the journey on foot. The food & drink selection and staff, are all very good and I would happily return on my own, or take a group there. The place was full, inside and out and it isn't the biggest venue in the world BUT they managed everyone very well. Food was served fairly quickly and they were always on hand to take a drink order. We will be back for sure

Nice pub between Richmond and Twickenham. Always sport on to watch. Food quick and OK. Staff friendly and accommodating. Best to book if there is a game on there are always tables outside if you are a walk in.

A much needed catch up with friends, we booked a large table here for the evening, a little bit of a disappointment, the pub was very busy and very noisy, so service was slow as simply not enough staff on. Beers kept running out as well, not the best experience and I won't be returning.

Quiet expensive and not a lot of beers to choose from.

If you want drink a beer...taste the concept of english pub ...this Is your Place!

Real nice local pub with great selection of beers and nice seating outside for summer.

Great pub with cosy interior and nice outdoor seating area. Friendly staff. Would recommend.

I popped in here recently with my baby and a friend for pizza, and it dawned on me that I’ve always had great food and great service every time I’ve been here so they deserve a review. Would definitely recommend. There is always such a lovely atmosphere too.

I had Battersea Bitter and Oakham Citra on my visit, both well priced and in great condition. 👍

Food took 3 hours to be served, good waiters but poorly organized kitchen.

Visited on a Sunday and had a lovely and reasonably priced lunch with family and friends. The service was very friendly and efficient, and the food was great. I've had some mediocre experiences here previously, but we've had quite a few very good visits here this year and so I would definitely recommend now.

Very good Pub ⭐🍕🍕very good food Thank you for your service

Delicious pizza and lovely service.

Nice bar/ restaurant, clean,staff polite.

Sadly didn't get to try the food - we waited nearly an hour for our pizza but left after the very ill-tempered manager claimed the delay was our fault for not preordering.

Gluten free pizza base was average, but consistency made it hard to eat either with hands, or with cutlery

The staff here must be the friendliest staff in Twickenham. Love coming back. Keep up the good work!

Great service, nice outside areas, good music, Coldplay byers and Lively food. What's not to like? Will come back again soon

We love coming here, especially sitting outside on a sunny day. We found the food very good with a good amount of different options and the staff very friendly.

Funnrustic pub, great beer and liquor selection with friendly and helpful staff.

Brilliant Pub, great environment and the food is especially nice even for vegans like me and my partner there are a couple of options however the seating could be improved and the food wait times which would result in 5 stars being awarded for my review to change 😊

This is our favourite local. They offers not only great traditional pub food, but also wood fire pizza (even optional gluten free base) which means we can bring family and friends and everyone finds something to eat. They focus on local beer as well as superb wines. The garden overlooks Marble Hill House and the staff are wonderful! So glad to have a local that doesn’t feel like all the other chains.
