The Rising Sun in South Holland

Thanks to Chris, his staff & 'the locals' for making us welcome on our Motorhome pubstopover. I had messaged prior to visiting, to ask if it was OK to park up and was welcomed, just asked to eat & drink in the pub. Chris has only recently taken over and started food, currently a very limited menu but good portions and well cooked. No facilities except toilets when open, but we are self sufficient so not an issue. Thanks, Tim Sue n Bailey 🐾

A really friendly welcome and a nicely prepared chicken dinner for me. I had telephoned before as I had had a variety of openclosed comments partly because of dodgy previous websites.. I need not have worried,splendid family atmosphere.

Visited today for lunch. New Landlord very welcoming, our meals were very nice, tasty, generous portions, food was hot and condiments were available. Very good value. The garden was clean and tidy and welcomed dogs. Really nice to see The Rising Sun up and running again and wish Chris and Haleigh every success. We will be back again soon, thank you.

Great pub, great beer, under new management. We stopped here for a few beers. It is now under new management and the hosts are very friendly. Selling Woodfordes beer too. Not doing food at the moment, but hope to soon. We will be back

Great motorhome stopover, lovely food and company. Chris and Haley made us very welcome.

The choice from the menu was very limited. We all decided ham egg and chips was the only alternative . The chips were not good and there was no mustard!

We went in for Sunday lunch over the bank holiday. Kris and Hayley were very inviting to both us and our young children. The Sunday carvery was amazing as well as the entertainment. We went in for lunch and stayed till closing. Great atmosphere and a breathe of fresh air to the village 😊 x

Nice folks and a good bike night

Uber friendly hosts, excellent food and bike friendly. What's not to like?! Highly recommended.

We were off for a few days, so popped in for lunch in-between jobs in the garden. My wife had the meat ploughman's, which she thoroughly enjoyed, while I went for the healthier option of sausage, egg, beans and chips :) . The sausages were excellent, and the homemade chips totally pukka! Chris and Hayley provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Oh, and they don't mind motorcycles...nice one guys!

Since the new management the pub atmosphere has improved considerably. Friendly couple, keen to put on social nights and activities to get people involved. Excellent Pie and a Pint on Monday night.

Had a lovely Sunday Lunch at the Rising Sun ,Plenty of choise The atmosphere is great. Thank you Chris and Hayley Much more going on during the week well worth a visit.

After being let down by misleading menus at a previous pub ,we saw this one on line ,again with rave reviews and menus posted , so we drove another 10 minutes to here only to be told ,"sorry we're not doing food at the moment". Lesson learned, ring first

Very little choice on the menu. Options were chicken cheeseburger, gammon steak pizza and over baked fish. People were very friendly though

Very friendly pub with great Guinness

What a fantastic fined very friendly couple greated with a smile, lovely local friendly pub and food was amazing .Came for Wednesday steak night sirlon steak £12.50 with all the trimmings plus fabulous homemade onion rings crisp not oilly asked for medium rare and was cooked to perfection, every thing was so tasty well done henced have rebooked very happy thank you for a great meal and atmosphere.

Lovely country pub, always a friendly welcome, Chloe and Dean are doing a great job. The food is always fantastic, there's a nice beer garden and all round lovely atmosphere - definitely recommended!

The has to be in the top 10 pubs in the village. Food is good, beer tastes good. And dean well Dean is dean

Nice to come back to a lovely country pub. The change of landlord is a massive improvement. Good food too. Thank you.

We've had a few pub steaks over the years but this one was by far the best. Very highly recommended

Food was amazing. Staff friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place for value for money.

Had a grand meal here, we all enjoyed or food and drinks. First time I've had onion rings made with red onions, and they were spot on. My lad enjoyed the meat feast pizza. Would recommend popping in if you are in the area. Very friendly place and even allows dogs.

Solid pub all year round staff very well mannered. Excellent beer garden for kids and dogs sports on tv and dog friendly 10/10

We've been coming to the Rising Sun quite often, and I originally reviewed it here on Trip Advisor back when the previous landlady Sarah was running it, before the lockdowns happened. The pub is now run by a lovely Irish couple, Chloe and Dean. From the first time we met them when the pub reopened after lockdown there's always been a warm friendly welcome, and that hasn't changed. They did a fantastic job in the post-lockdown Covid restrictions time, refurbishing the beer garden, adding lots more outdoor seating, brand new outdoor portacabin loos etc.Their food is consistently excellent - great quality, very tasty, decent portions, and never a long wait. Decent childrens options too. Well-kept beer range, including (at time of writing) San Miguel, Guiness, Thatchers, Carling, Abbot Ale, GK IPA, and a good range of bottled drinks.The pub is, as before, a beautiful, proper old-style village pub, and we'd happily recommend it.

Just got back from the rising sun gedney drove end and have got to say what a lovely meal we have had staff also very good lovely relaxing atmosphere will definitely be going back next time to try the Sunday roast thank you very much

Very nice meal and reasonable price would go again. ,

We were passing and noticed that the pub was open so we popped in hoping for something to eat and a cup of coffee. We were welcomed by the landlords and engaged is some pleasant conversation whilst out food and drinks were prepared. The food was good and so was the coffee. We only planned to eat and go but enjoyed the company of the landlords and stayed chatting for quiet a while. The prices are good and it was an unexpected treat to stumble across such a welcoming place food oh

Lovely pub, friendly staff, and beautiful food. Admittedly our whole table had exactly the same, so couldn’t tell you what the rest of the menu was like but there was a variety on offer for a small village pub, but the 1/4 pounder was delicious, food was hot and well prepared and served timely.

Lovely traditional British pub, open all day, every day (except Tuesdays) serving good food all day that's great value. Friendly staff and plenty of outside seating for those summer days.

Very nice place food was brilliant

Really lovely country pub lovely beer very clean great land lord Very highly recommended

Friendly, welcoming staff, always had a lovely meal. Cosy little place

Friendly and homely local pub Great fare

We traveled from Derby to surprise my aunt for her birthday meal this was the second time we had been and we was made welcome by the staff as we walked in all the staff spoke to us as if we was part of their family nothing was to much bother for them, the food was well worth the drive, and we wasn’t felt rushed the staff put the football on as well it was so good we booked the next family meal in august when we are back to visit family.

Called in for a drink and was very impressed - very friendly people - beer well kept (so good I had to have a second one). The beer garden is great and large. We didn't eat there but from the comments of the people who were eating we will definitely try the food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We have been here a few times but it has drastically improved. It's becoming a very regular pub to visit

Had our tea here on Friday night .A brand new menu .The pub was very busy and the food was excellent good to see it doing well

Nice local pub. Lovely people who made us very welcome. Decent food at good price. Lovely outside area. We will be bsck - thankyou x

The new Menu is great, the food is exceptional, I would highly recommend you visit this lovely Pub for a very relaxing time

We’ve been looking forward to trying this pub for a few months and we weren’t disappointed. We absolutely loved it and had a wonderful afternoon here! The staff were so lovely and welcoming, the food was superb and their garden is brilliant!!! A wonderful sun trap. We will definitely be back again. Thank you guys!! ❤️❤️❤️

The pub doesn't look busy but the rear garden has many benches to sit and have a drink and a delicious snack meal. The atmosphere is welcoming from start to finish, Well done 👌

Visited this pub in Gedney Drove End on Monday 12th of April when it reopened after lockdown. The menu was limited for now, understandably but the food on offer was very tasty with generous portions. Staff very friendly and welcoming. The pub has been given a full makeover...lots of good quality seating in the newly designed garden, with hand sanitisers and four excellent, extremely clean portable toilets :) Will be back again!

Really amazing food, had a great steak, white bate and apple pie. Delicious! Friendly staff, just a great experience. Would definitely recommend.

Good customer service great seating and good food

New people are doing a good job food is very good

We first visited this pub when we were looking to move into the area, and the landlady Sarah was happy to take time to chat with us about the area etc. We've since moved into the village, and have been to this pub quite a few times for lunches and carveries. We've always been made to feel welcome, Sarah and her staff are lovely, and the food has always been absolutely spot on - lovely carveries, perfectly cooked and generous portions, and the steak burger is genuinely one of the best I've had anywhere. The menu has a good selection of tasty classic pub meals, and a specials board too. I *must* get in for the steak night one Wednesday!The pub is child-friendly, our children have taken a major shine to Sarah, and she's excellent with them, taking time to talk to them and making them feel special. Sarah and her team (including Faith and Cathy) are all very friendly and make us feel very welcome and like nothing is too much trouble.

Super friendly pub and staff very attentive. Fantastic Sunday roast. Highly recommend.

We came with friends for a Sunday carvery. We received a warm welcome, ordered and were served drinks right away. As it was relatively early there was a slight delay before the carvery was ready. I opted for beef and was put off when the meat squeaked during carving. The same was true for the pork. The potatoes were very nice, however, the rest of the veg was overcooked. All in all, the taste was good but the quality of the meat and it’s preparation left us slightly disappointed. We liked the venue and will return to have an evening meal or weekday lunch to try that and I’m sure it will be nice. Carvery is just not for us here.

A quiet game of darts with both of my wives, I won naturally.

Great country pub. Great food Great prices. Staff are friendly

My wife and I went there last night (steak night) and i must say the rump steaks were excellent, cooked to perfection. There were a good choice of ales on offer and although it was "Steak Night" the normal full menu was available. This was the first time we had visited The Rising Sun, but it wont be the last.

We have been to this pub a few times for dinner and the Sunday Carvery. The food is lovely which is why we keep going back there. The pub has a nice atmosphere and the bar staff are lovely. We highly recommend it.

Great little country pub. Friendly and welcoming

We went to this pub after attending a family funeral. Everything was ready for us when we arrived. My drinks order was taken and quickly dispensed. The small buffet was ample for everyone and was very fresh. The staff were very nice and efficient. It is a shame that I will not be in the area to visit again.

We have been here a few times now with our children, not once have we left disappointed. Sarah the Landlady and all the staff are very friendly & helpful, they where wonderful.The food is always amazing, top quality meat and always cooked to perfection. We highly recommend the Sunday Carvery. The their beef is out of this world! Gravy is the best I’ve ever tasted, and the roasties are simply fab. And the puddings..... they’d give Mary Berry a run for her money. Keep up the fantastic work.

Excellent roast, will definitely come back again.

Lovely sunday lunch, fantastic garden, dog and kid friendly. walk on the Marsh, pint in the sun after, paradise found

You won't find a tastier Sunday carvery 😊

Great staff great food lovely atmosphere

if you don't like eating with all the flies the this is not the place for you landlady thinks it funny to be overrun by them AND will do nothing about it

Lovely friendly pub. Good food n good beer and yes they do now take card payments.

Nice friendly staff good pint great atmosphere

Fantastic Sunday lunch, with mum, Rob, noel and John. Thanks for a lovely afternoon Sarah

Lovely warm place , very nice staff food is spot on couldn't ask for a nicer pub

A nice place to eat and drink. The Sunday carvery was great and they DO now take card payments at the bar.

Booked in for the steak night. Good food and great value. Look forward to my next visit.

Food was bloody lovely and staff were really nice too! Would definitely recommend to others!!!

Bit confused about the most recent review and tbh that did put me off a bit as we were travelling for leisure at the weekend in a 3 tonne white van rather than my car. However turned up last night at this pub in the van and zero issue what so ever ! Nobody came out and accused us of being Gypsies as we were in a van ! Anyway this is just a typical quiet local serving very reasonably priced wholesome food and my favourite beer on draft which is always a plus point. Would visit here again

Managed to get my works van in the carpark, within 5 minutes i was questioned why i was there by the landladys son 2 minutes later the landlady came out, taking down my registration and saying they have had problems with pykies... how do they manage to get customers?? say no more!!

What a nice pub. We dropped in having seen positive reviews here and were not disappointed. Friendly people, good beer, and great food very well served. Happy to recommend.

Sarahs a lovely land lady friendly kind and a great cook.you will enjoy good pub food and a relaxed atmosphere. Cash only so be prepared

We eat here every now and then and always find a cheery welcome and good fairly prince food and drink. This visit we both had stakes and the usual good standard. Pleasant surroundings and helpful staff. Recommended for Wisbech area.

Beautiful local pub with delicious Sunday Carvery. Would recommend a visit any time. Evening meals and grills superb and drinks reasonably priced.

Friendly local pub, good selection of beers. Menu has something for everyone with good sized portions and is well cooked. They don't take cards so cash is a must if visiting.

Lovely little pub although shame they dont take cards or we had eaten there.

A beautiful Pub with fantastic food and friendly locals. This was our first visit to our local since moving to the area and unfortunately our last as the Landlady had a terrible attitude towards my wife in front of all the guests, and then proceeded to bad mouth her in the kitchen which we could clearly hear. A terrible shame !!!!

Un grupo grande de nosotros entramos en el coche final para un par de horas y volvimos a la salida del sol para el almuerzo. El pub está normalmente cerrado para el jueves, pero el director del almuerzo acordado para nosotros ofrecer tuvimos por lo menos 15 personas. 24 de nosotros bien sentó con una cálida bienvenida del personal y la comida y el servicio era excelente. Gracias a los tres del personal para una comida memorable. Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera para probarlo.

Nice local pub food was really good

Proper sunday lunch, friendly place, good prices. Just a nice pub with a simple uncomplicated layout and atmosphere.

Friendly welcoming relaxed traditional pub atmosphere, good food

Sunday evening is a quite, relaxing night in the pub which is just what is required after a busy week.

Just had the pleasure of Sunday Lunch at The Rising Sun. I went with three family members and we were all in total agreement at giving this an excellent review . From being greeted and assisted with wheelchair access to been shown our seats and our drinks orders being taken to a smooth transition to cavery lunch (no queueing) to ending with a great choice of Olde English deserts it made for a rather enjoyable afternoon . The food was all fresh and home cooked with an excellent choice of hand carved joints . The piece de resistance were the roast potatoes ..wow and then some. ..Now on to the staff , Tommy the Bar manager was welcoming and extremely professional and helpful our waitress was charming and very attentive without being fussy and made each course a pleasure . Finally a big thank you to the Kitchen staff and the Landlady who showed us to the Cavery and gave us a great choice on meats and made the whole process effortless . I and the rest of the family look forward to returning soon

We visited The Rising Sun as we had gone to our local in Gorefield to treat our daughter to a birthday meal only to find that meals were not available that evening???? We were very glad we tried the food at The Rising Sun as it was superb. Just a small restaurant but cosy and with a good menue. We had scampi, sausage and mash and gammon steak. All were good portions and cooked well. Price was £37.80 for three meals and a bottle of house white whine. Service was with a smile and very helpful. There is car parking and an outside seating area. Highly recommended.

Great pub with a fantastic atmosphere, food here is cooked to order and always plentiful. The landlady is friendly and helpful along with all Bar staff. Sunday lunch is a carvery and served from midday until 3pm but please do book as it is popular.

We stopped here for a Sunday carvery 5 of us, small tables inside the pub, so it's a bit snug, The carvery was good and has an option of 3 different meats, and you can help yourself to the vegtables,The food was very good, only thing that could improve this would be pigs in blankets and roast parsnips!!

We visited this pub with friends for a meal. The landlady recognised us from our previous visit and welcomed us with warmth. The menu is new to match the total redecoration if this 200yr old pub. The food was ok but we felt a little overpriced for what was still pub grub. I had steak and ale pie with mash, buttered cabbage and bacon. The pie was a stew with a flaky pastry lid!!! The buttered cabbage was boiled cabbage with a dollop of butter in the top. Having said that it was very tasty and plenty of it. Would recommend the pub.

Had an evening meal here Portions are huge.I had Steak and Daughter had Gammon,cooked really well service was first class great Value for Money

We visited The Rising Sun as 2 couples on recommendation of one of the locals. The Pub is a little out of the way, but we found it ok, even though the local Postman said he had never heard of it when we asked him for directions, goodness knows how they go on with the mail in that area.The Pub itself is nicely done out with a pleasant ambience and the staff are really nice & friendly.We visited on their 'Steak Night' which I understand is a fairly new event. The meal was fine, the usual sort of thing you would get at most places. We were served with Rump Steak with chips and the usual trimmings, all very nicely cooked, the Steak in particular was very tender. All in all we had a very pleasant meal and very pleasant evening. We would call in again if visiting the area.

Sunday roast carvery lived up to expectations with good portions and taste. Beer on offer from regional brewery such as ellgoods and adnams.advisable to call first to book as it is really busy for the Sunday lunch. Please by staff good decoration and clean.Will be back

I went yo this pub for an evening meal and was not disappointed. The food was great and the service friendly and efficient. Looking forward to my next visit.

I have been to the Rising Sun on 10 occasions to date over the last 12 months and although the food is well cooked and good value the menu has not changed in all that time. The staff are friendly and there is a nice atmosphere in the pub and is well worth a visit but don't expect too much it is was it is.

Good quality food at very reasonable price. Nice friendly staff with good atmosphere . Would advice pre booking for Sunday lunch as small country pub that is popular.

Thought we would give a local pub a try and what an eye opener on how not to run a pub.We had homemade pie, really couldn't find the meat but there was plenty of mash,cabbage and peas but not worth the money. But what really topped off the evening was the full scale argument between the two ladies behind the bar, slamming of plates and shouting at the top of their lungs. People around the bar made a joke of the situation, even trying to shout through to the kitchen that we wanted to pay. All in all not worth £28.00 to hear two women shout and scream.

We visited at lunch time to check out the Rising Sun after its revamp during the summer, following a recommendation from our neighbour who had been very pleased with their Steak Night.The lunch menu appeared to be fairly typical pub grub however when the food arrived it was a very pleasant surprise. Very nicely presented, good quality, large portions, good value. We shall return (next week to check out Steak Night!)
