The Rising Sun At Woodland in Teignbridge

Delightful Sunday lunch - all piping hot and delicious - despite us being a tableful with a mix of carnivore, vegan and vegi! The star of the show was the superb vegan choc tart - with vegan ice cream - best dessert ever - and I’m not even vegan!!!

Excellent food and service. Beautiful log burner was keeping us nice and toasty! Thanks.

Perfect pub for an after work pint.

Friendly pub. Good food and excellent beer.

Great food at a modest price and perfect service. Definitely will be returning at some point.

Great food.friendly welcome.This family run pub serves amazing food and is an absolute must visit when nearby. Many thanks

Found this little gem of a pub tonight. Food was delicious, I had the chicken flatbread, husband had Scampi. Then the cinnamon churros to follow. Everything was lovely, great service. Beautifully presented pub. Would definitely recommend.

Found this pub on my way back home and was completely surprised by how cosy and clean it is. Food was great too and the staff was extra friendly and it also allowed dogs. The overall atmosphere was really welcoming, which was especially nice after a long rainy day. My wife and I loved it.

We absolutely love this place. The food is always incredible and the service is so friendly. . We can't wait to come back.

A very nice place to eat and drink the decor is very nice spacious and very open and light. Staff are pleasant and helpful. Food good choices with veggie and vegan meals if the weather good nice to sit outside good range of beers and larges.😄👍

Lovely country pub nice pub food and a lovely beer garden

What a great find. We were staying on the Parker’s Campsite just down the road but we passed the pub each day as we travelled to and from the kennels. The hosts were lovely - really kind, hospitable and attentive. Everything was immaculate whether that be the pub, gardens or bar. The gardens were great too. We did not try the food as we were attending the Ashburton Cookery School. Please pop in - you will not be disappointed.

It was a nice and simple place. Close to home and the service was incredible I would highly recommend this place.

We visited two weeks ago for drink after a walk and went this weekend to try food to start the staff are extremely welcoming and made are visit great the food was absolutely fantastic large portions and very tasty will definitely be back .

The food, staff and atmosphere were phenomenal, staff were friendly and attentive couldn’t do more for us. From the moment we arrived we felt well accommodated, the front of house staff were friendly and polite, The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were just right. Theres also a small dog shop, which was so lovely! Free pool table, we only left half an hour ago and we already cant wait to go back, hopefully when the weather allows us to sit in the gorgeous little beer garden! 🪴

Delicious food served by friendly and helpful staff.

Beautiful place and wonderful food 😊

It's an absolutely lovely pub. The service was friendly, and the food was amazing. The pub is really well laid out, plenty of space, and very inviting. We will definitely be visiting again!

Fantastic food and a nice quiet country pub. Dan and the crew will look after you!

Excellent Sunday lunch, very pleasant decor and helpful friendly staff. Would recommend.

Staff very welcoming. Amazing Sunday lunch. For a country pub this is a must visit place. Proper pub food on the menu.

Attended a private function here. Some of the staff were friendly. Buffet style afternoon tea party worked quite well.

Absolutely the best place around.

Great food. Great service. Best pub in Devon.

Food was amazing. Service was very good. Definitely recommend a visit.

Spectacular friendly service, with staff that were very accommodating of our kids even when they found a lost dog outside sand kept asking questions about it. Food was good and portions were generous. Unfortunately the decoration of the pub wasn’t very in keeping with its environment, looking more like a faux-country pub than an actual one.

Great food and the friendliest staff we have met in ages

Excellent family run pub set in great surroundings. Friendly staff. Very nice food at reasonable prices. Decent size portions. Good selection of drinks. Dogs welcome, as long as they have well behaved owners.

Food is fabulous 👌 Family owned, fantastic staff, great service and atmosphere 5*

Staying at the local campsite and decided to walk here for Sunday lunch. Well worth the walk (approx a mile along the lanes with a few steep inclines!) The pub is immaculately clean and has instant curb appeal. Lovely beer garden, a little shop selling dog related stuff. Staff are really friendly and the pub has a lovely feel about modern meets traditional. Decent beers and great food. Sunday roast was excellent and good value £13-50 for quality food. Sweet was great too. So good we booked to go again.

Omg. Beautiful pub in a beautiful setting. So clean and fresh inside but still retained all it's character. The food was out of this world and the staff and management were amazing. In the middle of nowhere but believe me it's worth the drive....... honestly

Excellent service, big menu, great food, good portion sizes, ample indoor seating and tables in the garden. Dog friendly, there's even a little dog shop with treats etc. Can't recommend this place enough!

Great atmosphere free pool, good space

Amazing place, great atmosphere and staff. food was very tasty, and large portions, I will be returning soon.

Fantastic meals excellent service and brilliant staff

Amazing! Food, atmosphere and service tip top!!!! Good reasonable priced food, cosy log fires.... the perfect evening!!!

Absolutely the best. Great food great staff lovely place to dine.

Had a lovely roast here after a good days green laning with the LandRover Club. Great staff and nice food. Would happily go back

Enjoyed a fabulous roast today, lovely hot plate, plenty of veg and meat, friendly service will definitely return.

Great food, lovely staff. Will definitely go there again.

Great country pub in a lovely setting

We had a Christmas meal for a party of 18 and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a lovely Christmassy atmosphere, the food and service was faultless, excellent value would definitely recommend!

Absolutely incredible service and food! From the moment we walked in, our party of 5 was looked after. The staff knew when to come over, when to leave us, and how to handle our many (I'm so sorry!) food intolerances. Not only were we catered too, but the food was beyond our expectations and at a very reasonable price too. Highly recommended for ANYONE, but especially for gluten/vegan/dairy free people!

Great food & friendly service, with a good selection of beers and open an fire on a cold autumn day … happy days!

Just great. Food is great, pub itself is presented. Really lovely staff and very accommodating to children and dogs. We were a large loud engagement party and we were all impressed with them, so much that some of us went back for a drink the next day.

Had a lovely time, service was fab, meal well presented, hot and delicious, felt very welcomed , every one went away with full tummies, many thanks

Another lovely Sunday lunch. Great service and super food as usual.

Great food, great service, lovely location, I highly recommend!

Hiking weekend in Dartmouth, just googled local pubs near to us, as we were driving around as not best place for signals lol and this place came up, great pub, staff were proper lovely, the food was very tasty and very reasonably priced. Would definitely visit again. Many thanks all from two weary walkers.

Had a meal here towards the end of our holiday it was so good we went back the next night (sadly that was the last night of our holiday). They were actually hosting a wedding that night but still had time to accommodate normal customers.

Great food, fantastic portions, great service, good value and a lovely premises. Give it a go you wont be dissapointed

Wow a beautiful country pub lovely food 😊

Excellent. Lovely decor and airy. Very clean. Great staff...very friendly. Delicious food, reasonably priced. Would definitely go again.

Lovely little place to go ,friendly helpful staff Lovely food it is dog friendly and in a great setting well worth a visit

Just visited the rising sun woodland lovely referb very comfortable and welcoming, food very excellent an reasonably priced, staff friendly and helpful well worth a visit.

A lovely dog friendly pub, with a range of natural dog treats on sale. Food portion sizes were big & food was piping hot as well as being delicious. Staff were all very friendly & helpful. Even though it was really busy & coming to the end of lunchtime service, they still managed to squeeze us in. I would definitely come back if we were in the area again.

I came here on a Friday night with my family to get dinner and drinks. The vibe was very friendly, it seems like it is a good family place for dinner and drinks. The service was very friendly, the food is great and there is a great selection of drinks.

Very clean open spaces for dinning very friendly staff good food will definitely return next year as only found on last day of holiday

Great pub with a fantastic menu and some well cared for ales.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and faultless service - we will be back!

Good pub, nice food, friendly staff.

Lovely food and plenty of it will definitely be returning

We used to visit this pubs few years ago and loved it. It has now been modernised and it’s still fabulous. Went for a Sunday lunch and the food was fabulous, the staff were very helpful and it’s a great spacious pub. Would recommend anyone to visit this hidden gem.

This is our second family visit to the Rising Sun, this time for Mother's Day lunch. We had an amazing meal, excellent quality food, service is exceptional, nothing is too much trouble. I would definitely recommend coming for a visit you will not be disappointed!! Just to top it off the price is very reasonable we are always surprised our family of five, 3 adults and 2children, 2 course meal with drinks, under £90.

Very good food and fantastic service.

This is an absolute gem of a pub. We wanted to try somewhere different that catered well for vegan/vegetarians and I'm so pleased we came here! The service was incredible and the food did not disappoint - honestly one of the tastiest veggie meals I've had when eating out. Will definitely be returning. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Really lovely food and excellent service. We didn't want long for our food and our party of 10 all had lovely got hot dinners which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommend

Great traditional food and real ale. Great for a Sunday lunch! Will be back :)

Nice friendly staff nicely refurbished .food average lovely beautiful location .

Lovely well kept pub, with welcoming open fire and log burner

Myself and my family have eaten at this pub numerous times over the past year or so. The new owners have a done a fantastic job of renovating the place, the food is excellent and you couldn’t ask for a nicer countryside setting. Today we had Christmas lunch and it was brilliant. Thank you again, we had a lovely day with you.

Lovely place! We come here when we can. Very welcoming and friendly staff with great service and great food and drink. We had our Christmas dinner here and absolutely loved it. The gardens lovely, it's a vast outdoor area, theres even somewhere to park your horse (post and rail with hay nets on the grass). If this place was closer to newton abbot town it would be packed all the time but it's in the beautiful countryside and makes a great stop for running, cycling, riding, car or motorbike clubs. The family have put alot of work into making an amazing pub, well worth a visit! The menu's changed since covid but the food is still spot on. Its been great seeing this pub get more popular as people discover it but its surprisingly spacious inside and never feels overcrowded even when it's busy. Highly recommended 👌

First visit in over 5 year, and what a magnificent change. The Rising Sun is now a modern light and airy Pub selling unpretentious great food. With 7 people eating we had a good range of the menu from traditional gammon to Mediterranean chicken flatbread, each plate of food was plentiful and delicious. We will be coming back again.

Absolutely gorgeous meal and the staff were excellent... would recommend 💯

What a little gem of a pub would highly recommend to anyone. Lovely and welcoming food scrumptious just what we needed.

Excellent food with very large portion sizes, great value for money with the staff being excellent and very welcoming.

Lovely place, lovely food, just no atmosphere.

Really good food, friendly atmosphere and staff. Looking forward to going back there.

Nice pub, friendly staff and great food.

Quite often i go to Ashburton through Denbury and stop here for a pint. On a lovely sunny day the view is quite hard to beat. Always a good pint, can't comment on the food though when i've seen it being brought out it looks great.

Brilliant place to visit, food is great and staff were very friendly and welcoming

Lovely friendly service and good food, we will be coming back

Really nice pub nice inside and lovely food. It was even og friendly made it even nicer for us meaning we didn't have to leave a family member behind.

Marvellous setting, really good service and wonderful food. All in all, a fantastic start to our holiday for the 7 of us.

Superb food: every single meal tasted fantastic and was beautifully presented. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Will definitely return next time we are on holiday in the area.

Superb customer service and wonderful atmosphere! All the staff were professional, friendly and went above an beyond to cater for us. No wonder it was buzzing with customers. I'm hoping that when we next come, they will have been able to put in the garden games that they hope to once Covid had calmed down. 🤞🏼 Will defiantly be going back but will probably try to book next time to ensure a table as it seemsa popular place.

Beautiful location and friendly attentive staff!!

We had 2 families eat and drink in this wonderful pub. The staff were amazing, very kind and extremely attentive. The food was fantastic and we all had such a lovely experience. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality meal with fantastic service. Such a lovely setting too! Excellent prices too! We will be back!

Very nice food and good service

An excellent meal for two. Fresh good tasting food with service to match. The environment is clean and well maintained. We will return some time soon and recommend the Rising Sun.

Never a dull experience dining and/or drinking here. Great staff that are very attentive to your needs and the food equally compliments the service: outstanding value for money and very tasty. Happy customers that will return again and again. Cheers.

We have been here a couple of times now and the food and service is fantastic. Really can not fault the place and will be back again soon. They also have a good selection of vegetarian options which is good for my daughter. They are also willing to adapter the meal like giving smaller portion of a main meal for a child and reducing the cost. Will defiantly be back. Sorry there’s no photo I was too hungry 😀

A fantastic gem of a pub, restaurant and dining with excellent food, exquisite gardens and a relaxing venue. It really is Devon’s best kept secret. Guaranteed to keep you coming back time and time again. We’ve tried so many of the so called Best Pubs in Devon and The Rising Sun has to be in the top 10 for us.

Great out of the way country pub!
