The Rising Sun Hall's Green Weston, Herts in Stevenage

Almost certainly the best Sunday lunch I have ever had outside of home. Well cooked and well presented with a great choice of veggies (including red cabbage and sweet potato) along with very succulent and tender chicken. Sticky toffee pudding was light and 'melt-in-the-mouth'. Great service with cheerful and really helpful staff. All together a lovely dining experience. What more could one ask for?

Have not been to this pub for a while and I’m happy to say it is as good as I remember it. Yeah it’s not a cheap place to drink or eat I had the house red wine and I must say it was lovely , I went for the prawn cocktail and 4 meat roast , loads of food for your money a cosy pub and a lovely outdoor garden for kids. I will definitely come back before Christmas and maybe have a late sitting for Sunday lunch so it gets dark outside I just love the atmosphere this pub brings. To the owners keep doing what your doing. Only negative is I did not get any crackling but I can also understand this might not always be possible. Very friendly staff especially a young gentleman with curly dark hair he really gave an added touch to the service and experience.

Superb meal, superb attentive staff, a great venue and highly highly recommended. The Sunday mixed meat was incredible, very tender. The potatoes were as they should not reheated as in other places.

Just had a fantastic meal at The Rising Sun with my partner Pete for our anniversary. The Pan seared duck breast was cooked to perfection and Pete really enjoyed his fish and chips. Natalie and Nigel added the perfect finishing touches by providing a lovely balloon and anniversary card. I would highly recommend this hidden gem.

Wonderful pub with most amazing garden to sit and enjoy a drink on a sunny afternoon. All of the staff were so attentive throughout our visit - we received the warmest of welcomes from landlady Natalie behind the bar and had a nice chat with landlord Nigel out in the garden too! A great example of how a pub should be run! Can’t wait to visit again.

For those who remember the good old days, this traditional English Pub offers truly delicious “pub grub”. Family friendly with a large beer garden, cask ales and excellent service. An establishment that caters for everyone and feels very inclusive. Hertfordshire’s best kept secret. 10/10

We chose the Rising Sun to host our wedding reception. The beautiful garden and marquee space seemed exactly what we'd been looking for. We had use of the marquee, and we were allowed to hire the whole of the garden too. We had barbecue for lunch and an evening buffet. To be fair, as it was my wedding, most of its blur as it flew by so fast, but it was an amazing blur! The food was delicious, the staff were amazing and looked after us so well. They are a credit to Natalie and her team. I was really nervous about being the bride, but I had a fantastic afternoon sitting chatting with froends in a pub gatden...exactly the relaxed vibe I had wanted. We've had so many comments from friends and family saying what an amazing time they had and that it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to. Thank you all! I can't recommend you as a celebration option enough!

This was our second visit as "ladies that lunch" and had a lovely meal. We find the Golden Years menu good value. Kelly and Freya looked after us well. We'll be back.

Lovely pub, great food and massive portions! Thank you Freya and Kelly for looking after us and our toddler so well. The service was excellent, we felt very welcome. Will be back 🙂

Rude bar staff and landlady! Me and my wife went for a quiet evening drink and got rudely shouted at from who i presume to be the landlady when i could not hear what a member of staff asked me which we both found surprising! On ordering our drinks, the landlady even went on to correct the way i pronounced the drink in which i requested. I will not be spending my hard earned money in an establishment who treats there customers like school children. DO NOT VISIT!

Well, where do I start??? My partner and myself found The Rising Sun via a app called BritStop. We where traveling to Hertford and though it would be great to stopover with a our campervan "Casper - because he is white and small" here for the night. The pub is absolutely perfect and how we love country pub. The staff couldn't be anymore friendly and the patron where exactly the same. Our campervan water carrier had a little leak and Natalie the Landlady offered to dry my partners clothes which is above and beyond what we would ever expect. The food and drink, we could not fault and tasted amazing. We HIGHLY recommend eating, drink or even if you use The Rising Sun as a BritStop stopover. Bleed'in loved the pub. :)

The food is exceptional, all cooked fresh, well kept ales, attentive professional staff and management.Great garden in the warmer months and a lovely roaring fire in the colder times of the year. A wonderful place over Christmas, beautiful decorations and a menu offering an excellent array of dishes. They normally have a selection of mouth watering specials throughout the year. The portions and quality makes other local pubs looking inferior and overpriced. We will be back many more times.

Just celebrated our anniversary at this beautiful traditional countryside pub and restaurant with a warm welcoming atmosphere which is complemented by the hosts Nigel & Natalie and their team. One of us ordered from the main menu and the other from the specials menu, all our requests were catered for. The food was delicious, well presented and arrived in a timely fashion. Our compliments to the chef Alex.We will definitely be visiting again very soon.

Been here many times and always a good sign when you want to come back to try other options on the menu. Great home-cooked food and friendly professional service.

A lovely pub in a country setting that does great food that is so very well presented. For my own reviewing scale i reserve five stars for top of the range cuisine, where the food is a sensory experience. This is good, no nonsense food, such as chicken ham and leek pie or lasagne, but it is prepared with great care, and very beautifully presented, and so merits the top possible marks I can give of four out of five. The staff were friendly and full of good humour and had mastered perfectly the balance of being attentive, whilst also leaving us to enjoy our food. The bill came in extremely reasonably for three courses, drinks and coffee, and I have no hesitation in recommending The Rising Sun to others.As a side note, the humble chip is often maligned, but I think it speaks volumes when I say that the crisp, light and fluffy perfection that I ate today could light a fire under some of the high end frites that I have eaten elsewhere, which just shows that The Rising Sun has a kitchen staff that cares about detail and getting it right.

This has been one of our favourite pubs for years; is great for food and in a lovely, rural location. This weekend we had our wedding reception in the pub's own marquee in the garden. Natalie and Nigel and their wedding host Geri did an amazing job to make sure our day ran without a hitch. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly and we couldn't have wished for anything more. The garden is beautiful, with ambient lighting and play equipment for children. The pub itself is quintessentially British and just a pleasure to visit. Thoroughly recommended.

Popped into beer garden whilst on a dog walk with some friends.£4 for cheesy chips!! Literally a dozen chips in the bowl... And £10 for some salmon and prawn thing. This came with HALF a slice of bread! I mean, HALF!? What on earth...Nice pub, nice setting but terrible value-for-money foodWon't be back to eat here again.

This pub is a gem, equally fantastic for a cosy Sunday lunch by the fire, a sunny lunch in the garden, an event or a party! Truly a pub for all occasions. Fabulous location. Great beer garden, roomy modern restaurant and a cosy traditional bar. Food is a great mix of home cooked pub classics with an ever changing specials offering. Great for vegetarians and vegans. Well kept selection of cask ales. Great wine menu. Wonderful service, efficient, informed and friendly. Everything you could possibly want in a pub or a restaurant. Perfect for every season. Must visit!

Arrived 6.30pm just before a large ladies group so we were anxious to place our order quickly, which we did. We both ordered from the small Specials menu and enjoyed every mouthful of pork tenderloin with new potatoes and home made coleslaw and salmon with a crispy bake coating with veg..The helpings were substantial for us 'smaller appetite pensioners' but both dishes were well cooked and served well. They must be home cooked as it took over 30 minutes to arrive. We will return. There was plenty of outdoor seating as well as a marquee to sit in.

We always visit the Rising Sun whenever we travel to the area from Devon. We visited on Sunday 18/07 and the standard was as good as ever. The pub was busy but the welcome was as good as always even with some new staff.We ordered the roast beef each and wow it melted in the mouth. The veg and potatoes were cooked to our liking too. Pudding was to die for.Untill next time we are in the area thank you Natalie Nigel and staff for another great lunch

We had some friends join us last sunday for lunch and what a great afternoon was had. Highly recomnended. Staff, landlord and landlady are all great with the warmest of welcomes. All this combined with exceptional food.

On arrival at this pub we asked for an allergy menu due to one of our party having an allergy to mustard. We were told there was no allergy menu in existence so they would have to check with the chef. We placed our order and it was delivered some time later containing mayonnaise in the burger and a big dollop of coleslaw on the side. Waiting staff were asked about the mayonnaise and coleslaw to which they stated the mayonnaise was fine as its vegan but they didn't know about the coleslaw. 2 minutes later the waitress came back and said "thank god you didn't eat that as the coleslaw has got mustard in it"The plate was taken away and put on a new plate without the coleslaw (not freshly prepared!!)This is extremely poor and could have resulted in a medical emergency!

I took my grown up daughter here for a beer and a burger and highly recommend. It was the hottest day of the year so far and the staff were still adhering to the strict covid rules and were wearing masks at all times even outside . The food and service was amazing and I can’t wait to visit again

Excellent pub in a lovely location - we regularly meet family here and enjoy the lovely garden and excellent food Staff are really helpful and love that the garden and bar area are dog friendly - also great for children and a boules park

Brilliant pub, lovely food & 100% COVID safe.My Wife & I went for a lovely Sunday lunch in the sun, taking our 2 kids, our friend and 2 dogs. This was our first trip to The Rising Sun on recommendation from a friend.From the start all the measures in place are incredibly well done (as someone who hasn’t gone many places in the last 15 months) and the staff were great throughout. Food was delicious, such a relaxed atmosphere, great children’s playground and just amazing time. 100% rate this place.

highly enjoyable prawn cocktail and steak for dinner washed down with a couple of pints of new brew 'freedom'

We visited on Friday evening as our first meal out since lockdown easing. Food and service great as usual, even within the COVID restrictions. Big well done to the staff for the way in which they are ensuring distancing, face coverings, etc, while still providing a really friendly and efficient service and great food.

I called and booked a reservation for this ‘gastro pub’ and was told they could barely fit us in yet when we arrived all bar 2 tables were empty. We were expected to seat ourselves and then had to wait around 25 minutes for our order to be taken. No drinks menu was provided during our visit. When the food arrived it was ok at best. Not once was our drinks order taken after the initial order except when I had to seek out a member of the waiting team, none of whom were following covid guidelines and frequently removed their masks. The landlady was abrasive when we had a question and seemed to have no time for her guests. When it came to paying we had to wait almost 10 minutes for our bill to be sorted out at which point unexplained charges has been added which were never explained to us, This struck us as strange but instead of argue with the rude staff we decided to pay without a query at which point we were told we had underpaid and more money was taken from us which after multiple calculations was not owed to the restaurant. This was a abhorrent experience which I would not wish upon my worst enemy.

We are reasonable regulars to The Rising Sun and it's always a good place for food and drink, however, at Christmas this is always amplified. Great country location, roaring real fire, xmas tunes and tasteful Christmas decorations - all adds up to a perfect festive setting. The icing on this particular Christmas cake is the Special Christmas Menu! Great food, great value - totally recommend the Chocolate Orange Cheesecake! Deeeelicious!!!!!

So lovely to be able to go out for dinner again. The Rising Sun never fails us - always lovely food and the staff are great.

2 adults, 3 children, Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. excellent meat cuts cooked to perfection and served on warm plates with delicious gravy. country pub food just as it should be.

Visited for midweek lunch with friends. This was the first time I personally had eaten there. We all agreed the food was excellent, and the service was good: all in all an attractive country pub. Would definitely eat there again.

Went with friends for Sunday lunch. Very pleasant pub and service. Food was very nice. Only complaints, beef a bit underdone and thin and a bit stingy with the custard on the crumble. But small quibbles. Very nice and would go again, (but would have the chicken which looked great)!

Myself and my parents booked a table for 1;30pm. We were seated and soon severed with our drinks. The service was little slow but in current situations they did really well baring mind there were lots of people to serve and seat. The staff were lovely and attentive. The food was yum ;) overall a lovely Sunday afternoon out/meal.

We had a very enjoyable lunch experience today. The food was nicely cooked and presented, service was pleasant and friendly. Considering the present cov-d19 restrictions, the staff did an excellent job to provide a safe environment to enjoy our meal.

Lovely country pub with a huge garden to sit out in. Didn't eat here as they mainly do roasts (no sandwiches etc.) on a Sunday, but both the menu and the food looked good! Out of the way but worth a visit.

Professional and very helpful staff, strict adherence to all COVID regulations, extensive menu, generous portions of beautifully presented Sunday roast.

Loved the Sunday lunch here. Service great. Reasonably priced. Will definitely go back again.. Many thanks to the Rising Sun

Visited for a birthday meal for my Mum on a Saturday evening. Plenty of space inside and large garden outside with external bar. Waiter service was ok but waiter was a bit shaky, maybe lost his carrying skills a bit during lockdown?! Reduced menu but still plenty to choose from, pie of the day was very tasty and herby potato bites were a great accompaniment. Food was good value and decent portions. Dessert cheesecake was also really nice. A pleasant location with plenty of space, great for a meal or drink.

4 Adults and 2 dog, out for a Wednesday walk, great place to go for a walk, then back to the Pub for a drink and a meal, Lovely greeting with excellent instruction on how the Covid precautions were being implemented. We went into the garden via the one way system and found a table, which were well spaced out. Drinks arrived via our waiter and our food order was collected, the food was amazing, I had the haddock and chips Oh Wow, perfectly cooked and the quality of the fish was fantastic, Ok you have to wait a little bit longer than you used to but we are in different times and I'm sure things will improve. All of the staff were helpful, happy and courteous. They do have a marquee tent with a bar for weekends which improves drink service.

Very warm welcoming pub, great social distancing measures in place making me feel safe the whole time and the best chicken pie I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend.

We had another of The Rising Suns legendary Sunday Roasts. I had the roast beef accompanied by a perfectly kept real ale, both simply delicious. I truly believe, it would be difficult to get better. We also visited during the week on a Tuesday night. We ate in the restaurant and felt very safe and enjoyed first class service. In these times of uncertainty with rumours rife of local pubs flouting safe distancing and lack of PPE, it was great to see the measures in place and not distracting from the overall dining experience. I had the, Steak, Shallot, & Mushroom pie, amazing!!Thank you so much to the Landlady, Landlord & great staff. We will be back!

Ventured out for a birthday dinner. So glad we went here. Perfectly adequate reduced menu full of tasty options served by super friendly staff who carried out safe procedures without detracting from the lovely atmosphere. Thankyou Nat and Nigel

I’ll start off by saying I am diabetic and therefore very cautious in going out and about eating. Not a problem at this pub though. One way system through the pub, plenty of hand sanitiser about, large pub garden and all staff are masked too. It’s nice to be out and enjoy a pub lunch without worrying you are taking a risk. Food was excellent,I had chilli beef nachos to start (nachos were home made), chilli had a decent heat but not too hot with home made sour cream followed by the halloumi burger which had a chipotle mayonnaise (it was lovely). If like me you are concerned about going out in these times because you are higher risk I would highly recommend this pub- you won’t regret it

Our first lunch out after lockdown ands such a happy experience. The staff have really worked hard to make everything good for safety and a really lovely time. Not only good for me as cook for the last hundred odd days, but also for both of us looking glam with our new hairdos, yea! People reading this in tens of years, if they ever do will wonder what on Earth I am talking about but do visit here, as the food and staff are fabulous, thank you

Returned for a yummy Sunday lunch. Natalie and her staff have put in good social distancing measures but it was a great calm and relaxed atmosphere. Tables inside were well spaced, excellent cleaning seen and minimal contact with staff but it was all done in a supportive and friendly way. Outside the garden had well spaced tables and a marquee and outdoor bar. The food was good. Thoroughly recommend.

We visited the pub to support them after the covid 19 lockdown. We were very warmly greeted by staff (wearing personal protective equipment) and were informed about the new one way system in place which reduces contact within the pub. The pub has also installed hand sanitiser stations in various locations which all customers were encouraged to use. The tables had been rearranged to accommodate social distancing for diners. The menu was reduced but still had many delicious options to choose from. Our party chose the Rising Sun Burgers and Chili Con Carne, with Crumble and (new) Cheesecake desserts. A single menu was provided to the table with an ordering sheet - this was a welcomed and innovative approach to taking our order. The food was delicious as always and we were very well cared for by all the staff who served us. We were very impressed with how the pub has reopened during these unprecedented times, we will all be returning to support the wonderful pub - and enjoy its wonderful food. Thank you all for a great experience.

We went to this superb pub on 4/7/20 - the first day of opening after lockdown for such a long time. We were the first through the doors and were so impressed with the procedures they had put in place to reduce the spread of the COVID 19 virus. All the staff had masks on, there was a one way system in place and the wonderful conservatory had a reduced number of tables so customers had well in excess of 2m between tables. There was a huge number of tables outside in the lovely garden and a bar had been set up under a marquee (sadly the weather was not conducive to outside eating!) The main bar inside remained the same but all orders including drinks were done via the staff from you r table. There were hand sanitisers at various locations. The menu was written on a sheet of paper that you filled in and was collected by the staff. A great idea. It said there was a reduced selection but we couldn’t see what was missing! As expected the food and beer (my first pint in over 3 months - McMullen AK - superb) were of the usual excellent standard. Steak, red wine and shallot pie with herb potatoes and veg along with my wife’s scampi and chips.I cannot speak too highly of this little gem. If you haven’t been then now is the time to go. They deserve all the support we can give them. Book by phone first to leave contact and trace details. We could not think of anything more they could have done to reassure the public in these strange times! Well done The Rising Sun

In my opinion the Rising Sun consistently serves up the the finest ham, egg and chips. A lovely traditional family run country pub!

The Fish and Eels has just had a refurb and the renovations are simply stunning. They have a new style of menu and cocktails which are all amazing. I had the Pie of the Day and my Friend had the freshly stone baked pizza. Could not fault it. The service and ambience made a really pleasant evening.Thank you Fish & Eels

We had 22 people turn up for a birthday celebration.The staff were excellent the food was great and all on time nothing was too much trouble.Would thoroughly recommend this pub. Well done guys and girls.

The staff are friendly it’s a lovely pub. The food was excellent and we will definitely be going back xx

Lovely log fire and warm welcome at this traditional country pub for Sunday lunch. Attentive but not intrusive waitresses serve your choice of roast and several vegetables in separate dishes so no off-putting mountain topped by gigantic Yorkshire pudding which is fast becoming the norm these days. Wide choice of desserts and good coffee. It’s possible to eat in the bar but I advise booking a table in the separate pleasant dining room as the fire can make the bar a bit too warm!! Even on a frosty January day.

This property is fairly isolated and right on the far edge of Weston. Due to the time of year, the lateness of the booking and we were a largish party we found that our usual establishments were booked up, however we managed to book here. The staff were very efficient and helpful but some of the food was disappointing. Having had various Xmas dinners we decided to have the scampi as a main course. I have to say the scampi was best described as rubbery, the chips nondescript and some in the party had roast Beef or should I say fat with some meat, not very satisfactory. Others had the turkey roast which was apparently fine. The seafood as a starter was ok but I would say pretty standard. Not sure I would want to return especially as there are a plethora of good quality places around the area.

Extremely friendly old fashioned boozer with great quantities of decent pub grub. I had the chicken & tarragon pie with herbie spuds and veggie. Absolutely delicious

We took 2 of our closest friends to dinner on Sunday and for a roast there is only one place for us... The rising SunGreat food, great beers and warm and friendly service is the norm here.The open fire is now on so the smell of a wood fire and ale just makes this a quintessential English pub.Cosy in winter and a superb summer pub with a massive beer garden.Dog friendly too.Love it.One piece of advice...book to avoid disappointment.

The rising Sun is just far enough out of town to get away from the hordes of people that eat out. A really pleasant environment, friendly staff and great food well presented at a reasonable price.

I had a special birthday meal here with 12 of my friends. The landlady and staff were so welcoming, helpful, cheerful and gave great service. They made it a very special meal for us all. The food was delicious and served quickly. I can highly recommend this pub and we’ll be back

Great Sunday lunch at a reasonable price. Good menu choice. Service a fraction slow whilst staff sorted some large pre-booked tables, but well worth the wait.

We went for a meal to celebrate my mums birthday and the staff went above & beyond to make it a special occasion. We really couldn’t have asked for more. Their attention to detail was brilliant! Great hospitality & lovely food! We would definitely recommend & look forward to visiting again soon!

What a great place this is. Sunday roast was excellent and plentiful. Staff were very friendly and not at all pushy. We had a very relaxed meal and would definitely recommend this place. A shame it's so far away from me, otherwise we would visit more often. Thank you

Certainly worth a trip if you want good hearty pub grub. Plenty of options and the pies are pretty cool. I had the steak and kidney pudding it was absolutely delicious. Wife had a very tasty steak.

I booked the Rising Sun for my birthday get together because of the reviews and also because it had a play area for the younger children and I was not disappointed! On the contrary - the food was amazing and the staff couldn't have been more kind and helpful. We were lucky that it was a beautiful sunny day so the children were able to take full advantage of the outside facilities. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would like to thank all the staff for helping to make my 'roundy' birthday so special.

Arrived to a busy and slightly chaotic Sunday lunch. Our table wasn't ready so we had a quick drink at the very busy bar. Table was ready after 10 minutes and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The girls work very hard and we're brilliant even when stressed.

Overall we had a lovely evening. We waited quite a while to be served at the bar but they were busy and apologetic. We took our drinks into the lovely peaceful garden before going back inside to eat. Our food was gorgeous and the only downside that put a bit of a damper on the evening was one of the waitresses, she obviously didn’t want to be working that night but we did manage to get a smile eventually!

My friend and I met there for dinner the food was great and the staff were lovely. Atmosphere was good old style country pub with a big garden.

Exceptional hospitality with friendly attentive staff. A more extensive reasonably priced menu than most pubs. Food well cooked and presented.

Visited this evening and received a warm welcome from the landlady, who showed us to our table & took our drink order. Extremely pleased with our food (highly recommend the steak, ale & Stilton pie and the hot chocolate cake).

just had to write a review about the meal me and my partner had at the weekend,once again we had an excilent meal . my partner chose the fish from the special menu,she said after that it was the best meal she had in ages.also the staff are so freindly and helpful. always smiling,its an excilent little country pub nice atmosphere lovely garden and great service. would definatly recomend a visit

We came to the rising sun on a Saturday lunch as 4 adult friends and 2 children. The pub garden is good for children with swings and a slide. They are pet friendly and the children had a good time. In terms of the food we ordered late (last orders 1415 and we ordered at 1400). Service though was slow particularly with very few patrons, it was very friendly though. The chicken burger was nice, the chips though were pretty average. I went for the pie special (chicken, ham and leek). The pastry was cooked very well and the filing was plentiful although the chicken was to big and could have been cut up more. The veg was to al dente for my taste. All in all at circa £11 to £13 per main course I thought it was a little pricy. They have a good selection of beers and wines at pretty standard prices for the south east.

Didn't find staff overly friendly non the less ordered lunch. Upon eating my burger found a hair in the middle of it. Therefore will not be returning.

Certainly worth a trip if you want good hearty pub grub. Plenty of options and the pies are pretty cool. Need to be more pie like though rather than pastry tops and bottoms.

What a wonderful place. The food was lovely and the staff were amazingly friendly and welcoming. We didn't want to leave it's just a really beautiful place and area. Will return many times over.

we visited this as a party of 6 women for our annual get together - the food was good when it arrived but there was a long wait for every course, this was not our first visit there as the food and price is always of a good standard

We booked a table for 7pm. Even though the restaurant was only half full it took 45 minutes before 2 starters were brought to our table . Eventually we got our mains at 8.45 !!! Other diners were also wondering where their food was . We were offered no explanation or apologies when the meals came out . The food was lovely, well cooked, hot . A shame the service wasn’t at all good. I would think twice about going again .

The Rising Sun hosted our end of season dinner for 30+ diners. The communication and organisation prior to the vent by Natalie was excellent and the evening went without a hitch. The set food menu choices were varied and of a high quality. The food was well-cooked, delicious and served piping hot. The service was exceptional with everyone being served simultaneously. The venue is ideal for this type of large group with the perfect atmosphere. Every one enjoyed themselves and thought it good value for money. We will return next year.

Live Locally. This is the best Sunday Roast in the area. The food is always served piping hot. The meat is always tender and there are plenty of vegetables including a delicious cauliflower cheese. The gravy is homemade and particularly tasty. The staff are very efficient and the atmosphere is very welcoming.

Following couple of evening meals which were Absolutely wonderful we had a few friends round and we all went for a Prebooked Sunday lunch . We were not disappointed,again this lovely friendly country pub surpassed every expectation. We all came home absolutely full of lovely food that was cooked to order not kept ready and microwaved.

On visiting the Rising sun for the first time was very happy with the pub and restaurant. We had the roast .was a little surprised how little vegetables for 6 .also would have liked more gravy but would have been extra .also sweets very disappointing .so was disappointed overall with our first visit

I had searched for a "child friendly" restaurant and the Rising Sun was exceptional for this. There was a highchair provided, toys to borrow and the staff could not have been more accommodating! There is also a children's play area outside.

Been to this pub many times various days.

So very silly as nice day decided to set off with dogs and 8 year old to Halls Green for lunch, only checking website and not checking by phone if open or not for lunch. When we got there there was a function in full swing and very busy. Worried no food after long walk and 8 year old starving. After asking nicely if any chance the pub was more than welcoming and above and beyond to get us fed. Much to 8 year olds delighted as she has firmly decided that the Rising Sun does the best homemade chicken nuggets ever. Dogs chuffed as spoilt with treats. My partner and I extremely happy with our lovely lunch. Thanks Rising Sun.

So another 'we can't be bothered to cook Tuesday'

Only popped for a couple of pints, and was impressed with what we found. Local ales are lovely, the staff warm and friendly, and the food being served looked and smelt divine! The crackling fire, chilled acoustic music being softly played, and funny little quirks in the decor made a very comfortable pub to comfort and relax in. If we ever find our way in this area again, we'll definitely come back.

This was a great choice. We met as an NCT group six years on with our children and siblings. We were given the conservatory the Saturday before Xmas. The food was great, we were given plenty of room, the kids played outside between courses and we had wonderful service. I thought we may be moved on some two hours later but we stayed some 3-4 hours. This was a great venue with us coming from as far as Birmingham and Berlin. Thank you and we will be back!

Went in early December for a get together with friends. We all had pre ordered from the Christmas menu, it was all really good. Roast beef was perfect. Staff were friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. Very pleasant evening.

Decided we didn't want to cook so popped down to The Rising Sun.

Had a wonderful time for a get-together with friends before Christmas. Food was excellent and everyone so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely evening and can't wait to go again

Our second time visiting for Sunday lunch , and decided on the 4 meat roast and prawn cocktail to start with , both was amazing and worth every penny , the best roast I have had out by far , will be coming back as soon as we can.

Had lunch at the Rising Sun. Great staff really friendly, the roast was amazing. We will be returning, thank you

The Rising Sun is situated in the tiny village of Halls Green and some would say it is in the middle of nowhere!

Always a bit of a risk going somewhere new but I have to say the service, food and setting at the Rising Sun were all outstanding.

A very warm friendly busy pub . The food offering is extensive and of High Quality , as is the choice of Real Ale- The Prices are mid range and reflect the quality of the Food .

A big , huge thank you to Natalie and co for squeezing us in ( as we forgot to book) . The meal was fantastic as was the service , as usual an outstanding visit , we love this place !!!

Where else can you enjoy a freshly cooked four meat roast with all the trimmings for £12.50?

Tried this place out and wasn’t disappointed.

After our daughter’s marriage ceremony the Wedding Breakfast and evening reception was held at the Rising Sun in Halls Green which was the ideal venue for celebrating this Special Day with family and friends.

This is a great pub for Sunday lunch in the garden on a hot summer's day. Thankfully though, it was not the hottest day that there has been this year.

We went to this pub for an evening meal. The staff very friendly. We ordered burgers and they were OK, nothing amazing really. The outside space is amazing though. Great for a summer drink.

This review is long overdue as had a family meal end of July.
