The Rising Sun Country Pub & Restaurant in Cheshire East

We were there for Christmas Day at 12. Lovely atmosphere and staff. Unfortunately we didn’t get our main meal until 2pm. The turkey was beautifully cooked and there was plenty. I feel there should have been more veg. We had 2 carrots a lot of cauliflower cheese which was great a little cabbage and a few sprouts which were like bullets.You couldn’t put your fork in them. The soup and Christmas pud was lovely but I was disappointed with the main meal and the time we had to wait between each course.

It was very dissapointing to say the least I went with my friend for an enjoyable night out. There was no one inthe place at all which says alot. My food I ordered the steak and ale pie which was so so hard it was inedible the meat was dry had to leave it the chips looked and tasted like they had been warmed up for days. My friends meal a quice was better but the chips were the same they also said said they had run out of peas?? The night was not a success we certainly will not be going back. They did not offer any replacement dinner or any refund.

Booked a table for a Sunday roast. The staff were very helpful. The roast was very good and a bargain price as there was an offer in place. The pub is easy to find in a rural setting with plenty of space for parking. The choice of beer was good. The pub was very busy so make sure to book a table able if you want a sit down meal.

Beautiful place and lisa was very welcoming. Food was amazing, we will be back. Highly recommended

Post walk pint, not a great choice on cask... Was a quiet Saturday afternoon

I’ve not been in here for some time. Went with in-laws for lunch and was not disappointed. Food, steak and ale pie and a vegetarian tart was good with salted chips and very decent frozen peas. I’d recommend you try the chips before salting them yourself. More than enough food for me. A pang to see Directors Bitter on tap as I was driving but the Memsahib had one and gave it the thumbs up. We used to keep a narrowboat at the marina here so used to be a regular call and I well remember the steak and Stilton pie ( just a suggestion) that always sold out in a flash. Yes, we’ll be back.

AMAZING HOMEMADE SUNDAY ROAST Called in at the Rising Sun for drinks for the first time today and so glad we did ,we ended up having the most amazing Sunday Roast, everything perfect. Staff very friendly, nice atmosphere and food value for money ( 2 Sunday roasts with plenty of meat ,of your choice for £20 ) Thank you from Karen and Shaun , will definitely be back very soon

Sunday November 10th teatime with family and two grand children for my partners birthday. Greeted by very friendly staff. Pub had been modernised since i last went. The Sunday lunch was 2 for £20 very good value if that is what you wanted. The Sunday menu is very limited for other choices. The Sunday online menu needs updating for choices. What a shame the Yorkshire puddings were burnt and the vegetables were overcooked, the carrots and swede were actually mush. The meat was delicious, melted in your mouth and the mashed potato was lovely. The sticky Toffee and chocolate fudge cake puddings were a generous size although custard was lukewarm. Sent it back to be warmed, came back exactly the same. 😔 I didn't complain as didn't want to make a fuss. The plates were cleared before I had finished my pudding which in my opinion is bad manners, and let the pub down in my opinion. Shame.

Such good value, home cooked and service with a smile. Pastry was homemade too Super friendly staff. Veggie bake was delicious

Lovely cosy pub to have a delicious and extremely filling Sunday roast. Dog friendly too

Went for Sunday lunch and was not disappointed! Food was absolutely lovely, good quality ingredients well cooked and very generous portions. Staff were lovely, very attentive and polite, we will be returning!

What a friendly pub, staff were terrific, the drinks well priced and all good. Visited most nights over a week and can only praise the ambiance and cosiness of the place plus the special offers on Ales. Superb leather Chesterfield chairs in the corner added to the pleasure and are a must try. Fellow patrons were also friendly and relaxed, if you want the country pub feeling in this area this place ticks all the boxes.

Lovely Sunday Roast today! Amazing value for money. Delicious food! Loads of veg which I love and we are coming back next week definitely :)

Hi I visited Sunday 20/10/24 for a booking @ 3pm.When we arrived we were asked how many of us would be dinning. My daughter informed the amount and was told that’s ok anymore you would need to wait. This was booked a week ago. When we were seated the young lady asked if we required a drink and took the order.This was very quick in coming to the table. We were then asked what we would be eating and advised there was no beef left but there was turkey and ham.We all ordered the mixed turkey/ham Sunday lunch.This took 35 minutes to arrive at the table,when it did arrive we were told there was no ham. My plate of food consisted of two batons of carrot, two stems of Brockley eight green beans,one roast potato and portion of mash which the turkey was sitting on.Also two small Yorkshire puddings. These seemed to be the ones you buy in a pack from supermarket. Other customers on the next table had what looked like homemade. The young lady serving us five minutes after serving brought out a bowl with more roasties in. We had no stuffing no parsnips which were shown on the menu. We were asked if we would like another drink which we ordered these never came. We all had sweet both my daughter and I had sticky toffee pudding and custard the custard was warm not hot. Very disappointed with our experience after reading some reviews.

Four of us had Sunday lunch, food was amazing, Emma and all the staff were just lovely and helpful, highly reccomend and will definitely be going back 😀

We called in after a walk down the canal for food and a pint. Neck oil on draft was a bonus and the steak and ale pie was delicious. Will definitely be back again.

Excellent service in the bar this afternoon, very friendly staff with delicious food. Lovely music and atmosphere! Hannah was very smiley and nothing was too much trouble - will definitely return!

Just been for Sunday lunch and wow wow wow Special offer 2 meals for £20 All home cooked and the meat was amazing Melt in the mouth Choice of meats Beef was plentiful and cooked to perfection So was the Turkey The staff were friendly and nothing too much trouble I cannot understand why they are not queuing out the door Traditional pub that accommodates for all ages dogs and muddy boots Close to canal Will be back

I have visited a few times recently with my family and we all absolutely love it. The food is all home cooked and tastes amazing. There is always plenty of choice and that includes for the kids as well. The staff have always been incredibly welcoming and can't do enough for us. We've been fortunate enough to visit when they have had live music on and really enjoy the atmosphere and the real ale. We can't wait to our next visit.

Me and my husband popped in for food and drink. The food was amazing! The staff were really friendly and the place had a real warm feel to it. Definitely be back!

Such amazing food, friendly service, if you want a real tasting country pub then I would definitely recommend this one. We stumbled on this one and it definitely didn't disappoint. Give it a try and sure you'll agree.

Visited on Saturday evening, August 31st 2024, Only one draft beer and bar man had no idea what it was. There was no food of any sort available. I think that the sun has set on this establishment and walked out in disgust. If you are not serving food please remove the sign on the tow path to save boaters the frustration of mooring and walking only to find you are not serving food.

Small menu but excellent food and friendly service.

After a wall along the canal, we stopped for a bite to eat and a drink. The staff were very friendly and the food was gorgeous and came quickly. We will definitely be back.

Ate here in the evening of the 14th August 2024 . There were 7 of us. The Service was excellent and the delicious food was beautifully presented, of excellent quality and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended. ( I understand that at the time we ate here it was under new management. The variety of food was greater, more varied, than that listed below)

Had a lovley meal with the family. Just of the canal where we were on our canal holiday. Will visit again when we are back in the aria. Thankyou

We had a lovely coffee and cake on Saturday 13th of July, very friendly staff and the staff were really helpful. There was a large group of us, we all had dogs and they were as welcome as we were. Fab We'll be back

Lovely looking pub in a tranquil area and a lovely atmosphere with other boaters and locals. Unfortunately that’s where our good experience ended when the food came out. Starters were great with the mushrooms on ciabatta and spicy carrot soup but when the main course eventually came out 3 of us ordered the Daddy burger ( although only 2 came out. We got the 3rd in a doggy bag) which if I said was disappointing would be a massive understatement. The chicken leek and ham pie my wife had looked like it had been squashed and didn’t had much filling. It was more like a cheap frozen pie. We were going to stop longer for a dessert but opted against it as we were so disappointed with the main. There was some restoration work going on so not sure if that had something to do with limitations on what can be cooked but even then the standard was well below par. The staff were pleasant and friendly and couldn’t be faulted.

Friendly, helpful proprietors. My nuisance diet readily accommodated. Good beer and excellent pub food. The most generous ploughman's I've seen!

9 oroplefor a Sunday lunch for an 80 birthday

Nice little country pub, needs a tad of updating though

Food was amazing, great pint of asahi which is always a bonus, only downside was the bar lady didn't know what asahi was, apart from that fantastic pub with new owners making a proper go of the place

What a fabulous pub!! We had a family gathering here for my father-in-law’s birthday who is a regular, they went above and beyond to make the night perfect, even letting him have his favourite band play, the amazing Goodfellas. I’ve been her a few times now (we’re not local) and we always have such a lovely, warm, relaxed welcoming and the food is always spot on, especially the Sunday roast 👌

Very disappointed in our visit here. Don’t generally write a review but we ordered beer battered haddock and a portion of onion rings. The batter was soggy and pale which made the fish wet. It also said pea purée and it was actually garden peas.When we mentioned to the staff that it wasn’t acceptable he just walked off without saying anything!

Lovely welcome Brody the waitress was so friendly and welcoming. I am vegetarian and have allergies and they could not have been more accommodating, trust me this is not always the case. We are able to take our well behaved dog into the bar area. The food was delicious, large portions. Really tasty. Attentive staff. Great experience the only issue I have is it’s a lovely little place and if more people find out about how lovely the food and staff are maybe we won’t get in next time. Lovely little hidden gem. Thanks for looking after us. Thanks to the amazing chief for the food and making us something to fit my allergies and to Brody for your amazing care, attention and smile throughout even though you were clearly busy.

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!

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.

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

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.

Great atmosphere, friendly publicans, excellent food and ales.

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

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.
