The Rising Sun Country Pub & Restaurant in Cheshire East

I came here with my family on Sunday, the staff were amazing and very welcoming. Food service was amazing, had food on the table in no time! Looked and tasted amazing! Land lady was lovely and unlike many other pubs was very involved in the service. Has an amazing atmosphere will be revisiting.

I’ve been here multiple times and it’s lovely. The food is absolutely amazing! The staff are super friendly and so helpful. The atmosphere is just what I was looking for. It’s a beautiful pub just off the cannel, definitely make this pub your next stop for drinks/food!

Wow wow wow, what else can I say? Came in for a roast a few drinks and was not disappointed. Staff were really attentive, and whilst the place was really busy, they quickly managed to sort a table for the 4 of us. First things first, I had a pint of pedigree, hadn't had one I ages and was not disappointed, best pint I've had in ages, I tried a boondoggle as well which was really top pint - so very happy indeed and set the scene for a good meal. 3 of us had roasts and 1 fish and chips. The fish and chips looked very good indeed. The roast though was amazing, great selection of veg, amazing mash, crisp roast potatoes which had a quick of flavouring giving them an extra edge, then the lovely rich gravy, but all overshadowed by the star of the show, the beef - best roast beef I've had at a restaurant. Couldn't resist the cheesecake which was top quality. We stayed for a few drinks, the atmosphere was buzzing. We will certainly be back again soon.

The food was great. The new chef is amazing. The service was top tier and even the bar was table service. The landlady was very welcoming as she spoke to us about the food and wished my mother a happy birthday. Would recommend 10/10

We saw a lovely picture of the Sunday roast on Facebook. The food was excellent and definitely recommend this to everyone. Lovely setting, friendly staff and excellent service. Dog friendly, definitely worth a visit.

Had lunch here week ending 13th April. The scampi was very good and tasty, and the service received was first class. The lunchtime menu is varied and the atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing. Will have lunch there again.

We called and made a booking and the barman was excellent. Made the booking and asked regarding dietary requirements. We arrived to what was once a bustling pub empty on a Sunday lunch and this should have been our first red flag Upon entering the 2 front facing staff were wonderful and professional and started by apologising there would be a wait on food as the chef was on his own. I explained as someone preferring fresh homecooked food even though the pub was empty we'd expect a wait. How wrong could we be! Whilst waiting a disgruntled customer left having explained to tell the chef to get another job they'd not be back. Starters arrived black pudding stack. Luke warm but edible and fine for the £6 charged. The mains arrived and at £16 for beef brisket it was abysmal. The gravy was cold and like cornflour. So thick it was like jam on the knife. The mass potatoes tepid at best but glue consistency and the asparagus tips were *fridge cold*. I called the staff over explaining after the last customers out burst I didn't want to make a scene and microwaving wasn't an issue. They took it full of apologies microwaved it but it came back colder than before. By this point I accepted 2/3rds of the meal was inedible, didn't want to create more of a scene for the staff I'd already witnessed abused and picked at what I could When they collected the plates I kindly and calmly explained that the meal was the worst I'd ever had. That I absolutely didn't blame the staff or a chef on his own obviously struggling but management. Again they looked resolved to it, embarrassed and apologetic and cleared the plates. 5 minutes later the waitress reappeared. She said she'd spoken to her manager and the best they could offer was £5 off. I'd not asked for nor either expected a discount but as someone who'd run pubs feedback for what is obviously a once bustling renowned now failing gastro pub feedback is important. However again this only served to seriously make me feel disgruntled. Bad service I could accept, bad food occasionally it happens, bad management in hospitality there's absolutely no excuse. If the manager was available to speak to a staff member why didn't they make themselves available to the customers! We paid, the person before us paid albeit they did it vocally. Why were the staff taking the brunt? It's a beautiful pub. The staff were lovely and trying their best. I'm sure with support the chef would do a good job. If we lose this as another beautiful pub gone it's down to yet another failed, lazy manager who's already quietly quit. Sundays should be your busiest day. Be visible and be available to your staff and customers. Don't hide upstairs or wherever you were.

Do not believe google when it says they are open as they may not be. Hoping to have a drink whilst with my two babies as the car is having an MOT and it's not open so stuck here for 45 mins with two babies near a main road and can't get into the pub because it's closed when it says on google they are open. Had to have my mother come and fetch me and the children. Not happy.

Booked a table on Sunday for the following Wednesday for a small group of walkers, 6-8 of us plus dog. Told that would be fine, asked if we had any dietary requirements and then emailed us the menu so our gluten free friend could choose from it. So far so good. However, on arrival on the Wednesday we were totally ignored by the chap behind the bar. He went and spoke to the only other customers (4) and then disappeared. When he returned he said he had no knowledge of our booking. After waiting for 10 minutes we were informed that we might be served in an hour's time. We left and went to a neighbouring pub where we were greeted warmly and fed promptly. Sorry but we won't be back.

Food and service was pretty good. Staff were pretty friendly and couldn't be more helpful.

Great pub. See Iain Haggerty's review for further information.

A welcoming pub serving delicious food. Took my children out for lunch and they both ordered Panini’s, I ordered something off the specials board. Food was excellent and cooked to order and fresh. Service was great and we were well looked after we had a lovely time!!

Good food and can do gluten free 😊

Used to come years ago but lots of changes in management and poor menus put us off. Saw the lunch deal and that new management were in so decided to try again. So glad we did. Plenty of room on the car park plus parking in the street. Warmly welcomed by a lovely young gentleman and able to choose where we preferred to sit. 1st choice of food wasn't available sadly but plenty of proper pub food to choice from. Came pretty quickly. Was beautifully cooked with nice soft veg. Chips were amazing. Pub was clean. Dog friendly. Have said we will return and my friend messaged later to say again how.much she enjoyed the food. Will be trying breakfast and evening slots now.

Had a great Sunday roast here today! Lovely staff and lovely food!

Wanted to support a local business and booked a table for 6pm and arrived at 5:50. Only one member of staff on duty and had to wait for 10 minutes ( no problem )..Shown to table and left for 15 minutes before taking order. Waited 20 minutes for starters and then nothing. Eventually I told a member of staff that we'd been there an hour and only received our starters. She went to check and said that the food was being plated up. We then waited another 15 minutes before it turned up ( sausage and mash and quiche so nothing too difficult ) Very disappointed and unfortunately won't be returning which is a shame because we live just up the road and could have been regulars

Held our annual get together at The Rising Sun and requested a selection of sandwiches and platters of chips. The sandwiches were fresh and plentiful and the three times cooked chips were amazing. We will use them again.

We visited today for Sunday lunch and it was excellent, great food and friendly/helpful staff. Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant little pub! The food was spot on and it has a really good selection on tap 👌🏻

Below average pub food. Staff were friendly. This place used to serve up great food, until it was taken over. Its good Trip Adviser rating relates to the previous owners. Just really a drinking pub now, that sells a bit of below average food on the side.

Went in Sunday afternoon for a pint. No atmosphere whatsoever. First part of bar mainly occupied by people not welcome in other establishments. All effing and jeffing freely. Mostly empty there being only 7 people there apart from ourselves. Left after 1 pint. Don't bother visiting this place - it's as bad as it gets.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Ordered different burgers for the 4 of us (2x Inferno 1x Blue cheese and 1x Chicken) all cooked beautifully and tasted delicious. New management making the place great again, can't wait to eat there again soon.

We went at lunchtime. The car park was almost deserted apart from two cars and two old freezers by the back door. Everything about the place looks shabby. Inside, the only two customers were playing darts. We ordered drinks and looked at the menu, I chose a bacon sandwich that has to come with lettuce and tomato. Why? My wife chose Lasagne, which she said was fine. My sandwich has got to be one of the worst I've tasted. I don't know how you can make bacon so tough unless reheating day after day. I've had meals in transport cafés and greasy spoons, but none of them wood serve rubbish like that.

Just had some of the best fries I've ever had, with truffle oil and parmesan. Yum yum! A good vegetarian choice, very tasty home cooked food, and excellent value for money! Cheaper than a trip to a fast food joint, with well kept real ales to boot!

Lovely little pub, very friendly 👍🏼

Brilliant. What else can I say! Good service wonderful food . No al dente here thank goodness. Didn’t have a starter but good job as the main was filling.

lovely experience with a great pint for me and the hubby. staff were friendly and polite. atmosphere in the premises was friendly and ambient.

Cask ales, excellent food with a friendly host. Basic ingredients for a classic English pub to be frequented.

Another enjoyable visit to this establishment by our group. Post walk drinks were efficiently served, compliments to the staff, and washed down by all 🙂 Will be visiting again when next in the area.

. The Rising sun was excellent! The delicious home made meals were served by friendly staff . We had a lovely time and look forward to returning.

On Thurday 21st September 2023 this pub was closed.

Excellent pie of the day (meat and potato). Unfortunately now seems to be shut. Hopefully only temporarily.....

A Wednesday early evening. Disappointing food quality and menu options compared to the pictures on their Facebook page. Must be a change of chef/cook? Previously very good quality food although this was weekend visits. Atmosphere not good with ĺoud swearing individual dropping the f word frequently at the bar. Food served by an individual that wreaked of stale cigarettes. EDIT In response to the owners comments 1) I was not rude. 2) The whole pie was not eaten. The pastry was mainly inedible like concrete - cooked twice? 3) Correct, we did not pay for the meal, which was only fair AND you did offer to refund the drinks which I declined as there was nothing wrong with the drinks - so I'm being fair. 4) If you had checked back sooner I would have told you there was a problem. In summary it was a poor experience compared to previous visits which I gave good praise for at the time. The food served today was not worthy of a two for a tenner offer I expected better. You also fail to answer the other points raised such as the foul language by a customer when children were present.

6 of us booked this evening, had drinks and main meal. Food was lovely, would defo return. Reasonable prices. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, friendly publicans, excellent food and ales.

Decent place, food was really good. Spot on Sunday roast 👌

Disappointed with the Sunday lunch,cabbage under cooked,when it said mash did not expect sweet Yorkshire pudding burnt.

Great pub, quite traditional, but not boring or cliche. Friendly attentive staff. Great place for family's or a few friends out for drinks. Highly recommend.

Took my wife for a birthday celebration and she was made to feel very special with an unexpected gift of a cheesecake complete with firework, candle and card from the owner. Thank you guys for a wonderful evening.

We went last night and the food was excellent fish n chips spot on the lasagna which I had was A1 in fact I'd just come back for that alone one tiny gripe the slot machine playing dance music every 30 seconds

The rising sun, a local to us and friendly pub. Calum behind the bar was very friendly and went out of his way to look after us. After a good pint of 61 deep we we very pleased with the food which followed. Chips that are homemade is rare but they are certainly homemade and cut in this pub and everything else we ordered was cooked too perfection. A chocolate Cointreau cheesecake for dessert to finish off what was a brilliant lunch experience and compliments to the chef. Highly recommend and will visit again.

This could well be a very promicing enterprise. The young man in charge was most helpful. However the local customers were rude. The power had just failed and everything seemed to go haywire. The proposed menu too was seemingly fast food - no electricity meant no food. Hopefully things will look up for them sooner than later.

Only went for a pint but the service was good and so was the beer

All ok but outside area is very dirty. Tables are filthy cigarette buts everywhere not very nice .only good thing is it's in the sun

Came for lunch with my brother. Food was spot on! The lady who served us was very friendly, my first time coming here but would definitely come back!

Nice beer garden and friendly staff

We went for a walk along the canal which was just up the road and afterwards we went to the Rising Sun for some lunch. We tried the three snacks for £10. There was a choice of 10 or 12 dishes to choose from. There were three of us and we ordered 3 each, as they were snacks and we were really hungry.. Lovely food, but 3 dishes each was way too much. Our fault though, eyes to big for our bellys 🤣🤣 The service and staff in the pub were very helpful and very friendly. The atmosphere was good too. We will definitely be going back, but won't be so greedy 🤣🤣🤣👍

Decent Sunday dinner at a decent prices Good ales

If you like pie this place is a must! Handy from the canal, good beer and the grill night also good. Great for the price.

First visit to this place for a very long time. Great staff, fantastic food. Fresh, well presented tasty food. Definitely shall be returning and tell my friends to visit. Thank you too all the staff for making our visit welcoming and pleasant

The staff were superb, friendly, efficient, really lovely (5 stars). The Sunday roast was disappointing. Cauliflower cheese fairly bland and missing the lovely grilled top. Chicken, 2 slithers, dry. Overcooked Yorkshire puds. Overall lacked flavour. Such a shame.

We didn't have lunch there on this particular day, but the food looked lovely. Service was very good. Friendly and warm environment

1st time on Sunday. 13 of us in the group. Wait was a little long, but I'm not surprised. Lovely staff, busy place, my roast was well worth waiting for .

After reading lots of reviews to find a decent place to meet my friend for lunch we settled on The Rising Sun. 4/2/23 I drove from Birmingham. My friend and I are 'foodies' and really appreciate good food know what we like and certainly dislike and will voice our opinions both good and not so.. We had starters of pate and bruscetto (sorry unsure of spelling?) They were lovely, generous portions. We opted for the Sea Bass with a pineapple relish, baby potatoes samphire and kale..My goodness it was EXCELLENT! Very well presented and piping hot. We each had a desert which were very good indeed. The service from Terri and team couldn't be faulted, friendly and quick. Prices were also more than reasonable; Ambiance welcoming. We left very happy indeed. Very well done to the whole team at the Rising Sun. As Arnie said...'I'll be back' (even though its quite a jaunt from Brum!)

Our first visit to this lovely rural pub and it won't be the last by any means. Good range of real ales, lagers and ciders, all in tip top condition made for a pleasant stay regardless of whether you were dining or not. But add the food and you are in for a treat, beautifully cooked, perfectly presented and generous proportions. Our sandwiches from the snacks menu and gammon from the main meals selection were excellent and looking around the meals were being enjoyed by everyone. They have a dog friendly area and off road parking and if you go for lunch don't plan for anything other than a contented afternoon nap ! We'll be back.

A great little find.... Good choice of food on the menu, I had the sea bass which was delicious ♥️well worth a visit.

Great dog friendly canal side pub. Good value meals and well kept ales

Great food, very reasonably priced. staff we're very helpful and polite. Would highly recommend 👌

Nice little pub, friendly staff and quality food

Great traditional pub with great food

Great pub, great food,great staff

Fabulous food and great hosts x

One of our favourite places to visit for Sunday lunch the food is outstanding and the homemade Yorkshire puddings are nearly bigger than the plate! The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is so cosy especially when the fire is roaring! An extra shout out to the young gentleman who works in and out of the kitchens serving food - what an incredibly polite young man he is, he really makes me smile with his superb customer service. Always a pleasure to drop by and we shall see you all in the New Year.

Excellent food, good service and a relaxed atmosphere. Great value too.

Was in for pie night. Great food and great service as always.

We always have had very nice meals. The staff is amazing :) they made my boyfriend’s birthday so special!!! The prices and portions are perfect ;) Thanks a lot x

Fantastic food absolutely A1 food lovely staff perfect Sunday lunch 6 stars

Lovely dog friendly pub with great food!! The choice of bar snacks is great! We will be back very soon! Thanks Richie!

Friendly staff , good selection of wines beers and spirits, food was lovely too. Great country pub

Excellent quality of food,staff very pleasant n accommodating n friendly I would definitely go again n would tell ppl about the pub thank you 2 the staff 😀

First time here, met friends for lunch after a visit to Little Moreton hall, food excellent and staff lovely, deffo recommend, thanks

Great food, fabulous staff and friendly regulars. Plus well kept ale.

Really good. Nice food and friendly folk.

Highly recommended for food, atmosphere and friendly staff.

The staff were super friendly and the food was just amazing. We had a mixed bar snack selection of onion rings, fries, chicken goujons with BBQ & mayonnaise sauce. Just delicious! Ian the chef certainly needs a pay rise! (Although I think he’s just had one!). Definitely one of the best pubs in Scholar Green. 100% recommended if you visit the area.

Nice local pub with good food and drinks. Lovely staff and dog friendly. I would highly recommend this place

Visited the pub for lunch with my grandparents. Food was lovely, and the lady behind the bar was very friendly, although probably needed a hand as she was rushed off her feet behind the bar and waitressing. My grandparents had a lovely time and have said they would like to visit more regularly. Would have been 5 stars if the service was quicker (food was very slow).

Great atmosphere, lively surroundings and great food

Delicious Sunday dinner. Friendly attentive staff. Cosy, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Lovely food, friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere.

Dogs welcome, bonus in my eyes and they had a lovely pint of Wainwrights on tap. Seems a pub for locals, but nothing wrong with that... Must be OK if the locals use it?

Really good service, lovely food, really friendly staff. I would highly recommend

A homely pub that is very much 'a local' in the truest sense of the word. I feel that it is in need of modernisation - it is somewhat dated and dingy.

Great friendly service 👌, and fantastic food 👍

Bar man checked his watch when we walked in... at 1:30. "You have just caught us!" Not a great welcome. Pizza nice enough, vegan burger enjoyable, beer ok.

Coffee and hit chocolate were fantastic staff were friendly and gelpfull

Food was very nice, cooked quickly and beautiful presentation on it too. Dog friendly and with friendly staff, will be visiting again.

Great food atomsphere and good service

Went for the Sunday lunch and this was lovely, choice of two meat and they did let us do half and half so had beef and turkey, both very nice. Children's menu - Ordered the fish fingers @ £8 which is expensive compared to other pubs for a kids meal. Don't get me wrong they were homemade fish fingers and tasty but a waste for a nearly 3 year old, too fancy just would be better serving something like a Birds Eye Fish Finger and charging less. Kids one scoop ice-cream £1.70. So in all children's meal £9.70 and other establishments do £4.95 for kids meal with ice-cream included so a lot more expensive. Would return but please review kids menu. Friendly pub and good staff.

Always a lovely warm welcome, great that I can take my dog & very nice food too.

Fab beer. Trying Sunday lunch tomorrow.

Lovely mothers Day meal for my mum. Thanks we will be back.

Fantastic place Food is amazing and staff are brilliant Highly recommended 👌

Excellent beer..excellent food excellent service excellent value

Excellent food and service I would fully recommend.

Very nice place bar staff very friendly

Fab lunch today. Chicken stuffed with haggis. Lovely to have something different and beautifully cooked.

Great pub great food great landlord

Food is the best I've ever had, the chef deserves so much credit! Well above pub standards! Warm welcome and friendly staff. Very clean! The only thing I would say is please bring back the steak and ale pie to the main menu!

Great atmosphere lovely folk brill service
