Amazing night with phat gandolf

Always a warm welcome from Billy and the team.

Went here on a reunion had no idea that the pub was so good the bar team were great . After the first drink they new what I had They had live music will go back

I came to this pub for a moot that was happening. We took over one side of the bar, and it was busy and loud!! The lady that was on was friendly and smiling!!

Great live music lovely venue with great staff and a lovely beer garden

I have not ordered food so just gave the 5 stars. The staff are friendly, varied drinks and the most important thing is that the atmosphere was so lovely. The garden is completely chilled out and on a summers evening, its really nice

Decent pub with sizable beer garden

Had a very nice refurb. Loved the Madri beer. Good garden area too, frequently have live music.

Watched phat gandalf play here Brilliant band nice pub with decent size beer garden 👍👍

An absolute gem of a pub. Beautiful garden and plenty going on

Had a staff night out here, and half of the garden was reserved for us. The pub itself is quite small, and we made it very busy meaning service was quite slow, but considering the number there, it wasn't actually too bad. Having access to the pizza van on a Friday night is great. Pianoke was... interesting!

Great time and chilled atmosphere

Nice ales and a great beer garden. All fully equipped for big football match viewing!

Honestly, the quiz night is brilliant. What a laugh. Also lots in the way of events and they are brilliant. This is a gem of a pub and well worth a visit. 😃😃😃👍👍👍

Went on bank holiday Sunday. Had live music in garden. Selection of real ales and pizzas.

Amazing pub, worth going out your way for. Friendly, good price and good food

Award winning pub, and rightfully so, amazing pub, beautiful decor both inside and out, management and staff alike are the friendliest team, absolutely amazing atmosphere of a weekend, where quite often live bands are singing, quizz night on a Sunday is such fun you'd be mad to go to Rochester and not pay thos pub a visit 😊

Great music, lovely garden, fun staff.

Can't experience it until you go there. It's incredible

Lovely pub with everything from a good atmosphere with plenty of space inside and out with a great garden which even has a pool table in it.

Great little pub, old school pub but with loads of events, stand up, pub quizzes & live music. Current owners are putting a lot of work into the place Updated: I cannot speak highly enough of this pub, billy and Keiran have put blood sweat and tears into this pub adding an outside bar and cosy outdoor seating it is constantly packed due to their hard work

Phillips performance was so good

1 of my favourite pubs nice staff good atmosphere, live music, pool table, recommended. Sophia is the best.

Sophia is a great barmaid. Made our night

I come here nearly every week on support with a customer to play pool, I can not speak highly enough off the owners, the staff and the atmosphere! Very genuine and kind people and we love coming to the rising sun ☀️

Really nice place with lovely staff. Will definitely be back.

Best pub locally, excellent music and drink selection, love this place :)

Visited this pub during the day. The refurbishment is of high quality, and the bar and tables were extremely clean. Bar staff friendly and welcoming. Just stayed for a drink in the afternoon. I shall return.

Nice drinks, nice quiz, nice pub, nice nice nice

Great and friendly pub. The owner is wonderful and the pub has gone from strength to strength very quickly. A lovely place to go with or without friends. My only critique would be the prices for spirits are a little higher than other places. Other than that, wonderful pub!

I had no food, I went to see a group play. It was a great evening

Been wanting to visit this pub on The Delce in Rochester,Kent for some time. There were about 20 people there when I visited early on New Year's eve. Within just a few minutes,I was talking to someone and during the time I was there ( less than an hour ) several regulars chatted to me. The lady behind the bar ( very colourful hair ) had a nice way about her. The pub has had a massive refit and looks good, it has a jukebox on side and the other side is quieter and has softer seating. The pub has a large garden area. A lot goes on, open mic with a difference is every week as is their quiz. I will definitely pop in again soon.

Great pub and big supporters of the Invicta Mustang's ice hockey team. Get down there and have a pint and find out for yourselves.

Cheeseboard with the quiz on Sunday is amazing. Every other day is always a great night out to

Great, local pub, great atmosphere, huge garden, very friendly and welcoming. You'll go for 1 and stay til closing. There weekly night's are epic.

Great atmosphere. Friendly helpful staff. Live music 🎶 was really good

Nice traditional pub with gorgeous outdoor area.

Great pub, lovely staff. Quiz and cheeseboard on a Sunday is worth attending!

Staff very friendly and nice atmosphere in the pub.

Random visit on a Saturday evening after a meal in Rochester. Pleasant atmosphere, enjoyed the music.

Myself and my tgirl girlfriend tried this pub and straight away we both felt comfortable. Great staff , welcome to all lgbtq walks of life , we stayed playing pool till closing time , this will now be our regular pub . A great place to have fun and feel safe . Well done .

Lovely evening here with Billy and his team. Kieran and Billy always give a warm welcome to anyone coming in, new or old and the garden is lovely to sit in on a hot summers eve.

Well run pub, very busy. Good venue for live music.

Billy is an exceptional landlord. The renovation has turned the pub into a hot spot of Rochester. The garden in particular is such a vibrant and chill place. Such a lovely atmosphere and amazing staff and most importantly - reasonably priced. Thank you so much L! Xx

Pub wasn't that busy when I visited, but it was obvious that regulars were getting served first

Absolute hidden gem just off Rochester High street. Decor and atmosphere are incredible, staff are super friendly and prices are reasonable. We absolutely love their quiz night on a Sunday with free cheese board! 100% recommended 🥰

I’ve passed this pub for many years and thought I’d never ever enter. However after the total refurbishment I finally visited with quite a few friends. All I can say is what a fantastic pub, the renovation and look is spot on. Huge garden with a stage for bands. Highly recommend.

Friendly and inclusive. Large garden.

Lovely evening celebrating grand daughter and partner's engagement. Great friendly atmosphere.

Amazing pub very friendly staff and the propieters were amazing felt very welcome and enjoyed the company great place for all the family, thanks again 🥂

Wonderful little pub, the managers were so friendly and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed the children open mic afternoon. The name is perfect for the pub, it certainly is a rising sun and lovely hidden away location from the ugliness of Medway surrounding.

Why have I never been in here before? I popped as I was parched and was greeted by the ever so friendly Kieran. I enjoyed a tonic in the garden and revived enough to walk the rest of the way home. I was super impressed by the garden and the variety of plants. I loved the internal decoration and the toilets were immaculate. Thanks for being so welcoming.

Lovely beer garden here. Proper suntrap. Amazing to just chill after work.

Really well done refurbishment and fantastic beer garden.

Only "Food" avaliable were Nuts or Crisps - this was on a Sunday, Drinks are not the cheapest in town. Outside there is ample seats and tables. The "Flower Garden" as per sign post was completely devoid of any actual flowers, plenty of plants but No flowers (25/06/23).

Wednesday open mic night brilliant!!

Went due to other pubs closed. Nicely been refurbished with a large beer garden. Was live bands on outside and then in. They were I feel a bit too loud for the small room they were in when it came indoors. Service seemed quite hit and miss. One guy had earphone in and you didn't know whether he eas astucally serving and the girl wasn'tseeming to be wanting to serve you much.

Fantastic venue for live music.

Nice Victorian pub, sympathetically refurbished. Excellent garden and live music from Crimson Tears doing great covers.

Great staff great garden What’s not to like

Lovely pub just up the hill from the High Street. Big garden recommended

Great atmosphere. Beautifully decorated great taste. Friendly environment. Quiz night is a whole other level. Would reccomend and will be a regular visitor. Also cater for people who are sober which is a great touch 👌

Great pub and garden really friendly too

Lovely beer garden on a summers afternoon, plenty of live music with a great host and polite and a friendly, efficient team behind the bar. Good prices and lovely decor … 5 stas

Some of the recents rework of the pub. I'd like the changes the design of it. My friend especially liked the outside pool table and the color options of the to indicate Ukrainian flag, blue and yellow. I thought that was very respectful and nice. The music was very friendly. The atmosphere was really good. I would recommend this place to anyone

Awesome refurb. Good bands on. Pool tables.

A brilliant, well run, clean and tidy pub with professional and friendly staff. Even better since the fab refurb with a smashing garden. Regular live music and Wednesday night jam evenings. It also has the added advantage of not being used by the usual d1ck heads you get in Rochester high street. My favourite pub in medway!!!

Visiting family who have just moved to the area and went for a couple of glasses of wine. Very friendly place. We will return. Great evening

Played here with Lee and The Hotrods recently, bloody loved it!!! Hadn't been in here since about 1984.

I was there for the sweeps festival The rising sun made a super base for our weekend... friendly staff and great beer

Had heard a lot about this pub. We visited here during the sweeps festival. The place was buzzing. Hopefully this place will go from strength to strength. The staff very polite and smiling even though the place was packed.

Freshly refurbed so it is looking really quirky and super friendly staff, the owner couldn’t have been nicer.

Great little pub... was a good night... thanks whoever you were having your works do and letting us join in the fun!

Did the cleaning there donkeys years ago. Super nice lady called paula working there then. Manager I think was called Karen? Flaming red hair and matching temper😡

Love this place it's my new regular the people there are so kind and friendly and I always have a great night

Great place. Good entertainment. Bar staff great. Friendly landlord.

OK sort of pub but limited choice of beer

Friendly bar staff, very astute at knowing who's next to be served. Good live music (covers band)

I love this place. Open mic yesterday. Stayed much longer than planned. Staff are so good. Really helpful and kind. A lovely place to pop in for a drink, and stay till the end. The garden is big and well set out.

Top tier spot, definitely see this place being my regular pub from now on. Staff are friendly and make you feel at home. Simply splendid

Great nights out to be had in this place, good to see they’ve done a good job of the place. Friendly staff and not too bad price, one of the only places in rochester that still has a pool table. See you guys Friday

Quirky pub. Polite staff, not a bad selection of drinks on offer. Lovely garden area.

Absolutely love this place. Love the staff. Very welcoming

Bar staff 1st class owner 1st class very happy will be back

Good choice of beers etc.Nice garden.Friendly staff.

Great pub... Great garden.. Often live music too... 👍👍

Nice atmosphere ,friendly bar staff and Kelly is welcoming

Great local pub with a huge Garden, friendly people. Kelly has done an amazing job with transforming the Garden. Lots of seating and looks really well managed. There's even a burger van there now that does great cheesey chips (hopefully a veggie burger at some point in the future, but the chips hit the spot for now). Looking forward to some plenty more great afternoons and evenings down there:)

Friendly staff x lovelly garden for summer

Lovely beer garden and the barman is quite fit x

A nice venue all round, with great staff and a lovely garden.

Had daughter karoka in hall. The staff are extremely helpful & friendly. The prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend.

Lovely pub great hospitality will visit again very soon maybe make it my local hot landlady great prices highly recommend

The service a the Rising Sun P.H. was top notch and quick. It had a good atmospere when I was there and very friendly.

This pub used to have a bad reputation. However the new management seem to have turned this pub around to a really nice environment and it's just up the road. Happy days!

Great venue Really friendly landlord and landlady
