Definitely the best roast I have had since moving to Cornwall. Great staff and good value. The rest of the menu looks good. Dog friendly

Visited on last day of weekend in Truro. Lovely setting, warm and inviting. Service was great, friendly servers. Roast arrived within 15 minutes of ordering and was absolutely delicious. I wish I had room for dessert as they sounded incredible! Malbec was lovely too! Would come back if in the area.

We were really looking forward to a meal out and as I had previously had a very good meal here, we were expecting good things, but unfortunately the meal in general was disappointing. The venue is lovely, good atmosphere and good service, although some of the waiting staff don’t know the menu or what they are serving, they are polite and pleasant. I had scollops, which were ok, but only 2 quite small scollops for £17 and served with some puree and apple which tasted good, but also came with rock hard, flavourless celeriac cubes which added nothing and were unpleasant to eat. The main was very bland, catch of the day served with fondant potato, but it wasn’t like a fondant I’ve had before. It was quite large and had no colour to it, it looked and tasted like an undercooked boiled potato. I was going to say something but the table next door said the same and the waiter offered to get a new one, which came back when they had finished eating and was just as bland. I didnt want more of the same so left it. I always thought fondant potato was meant to be buttery and indulgent, so not what I was expecting, especially as it was so bland is sucked the flavour out of the dish. The fish was overcooked - all in all, not a good plate at all. My partner finished mine off as he hates waste. His pigeon dish was good, well cooked and seasoned. We had pudding which was fine, although I ordered the chocolate parfait was very dense and frozen in the middle - more like chocolate ice cream than a parfait. My partner had the apple tart, but the apple was quite hard and undercooked. Good flavours on both dishes - textures just not right. My partners food was better than mine but we were both quite disappointed and underwhelmed which is a real shame. The bread and chicken fat butter at the start was delicious!

I have nothing but praise for the consistent quality of food, wine and beer provided by this gorgeous pub on the edge of Truro city centre. It's an award-winning combination under the masterful stewardship of Tom Hannon. Don't leave Cornwall without paying a visit. If you're a local, you should already know just how good it is. I'll be back, as soon as I can...

Wow… just eaten at the Rising Suns Friday night steak night …. The bavette steak was the best we ever tasted, everything from stat to finish was absolutely amazing. Great food, great people and great atmosphere, we ended up staying for one more drink I the bar after our meal. It was exceptional. We will certainly be back very soon. Our new favourite “local” eatery in Truro. Thank you for being amazing.

Very good and large Sunday lunch of roast beef and all the trimmings all for £19. Recommended. Starters and sweets are an extra and a bit pricey. Lighting in the dinning room is dim, take your torch to see the menu. Staff & service fine on our visit with a nearly full house. Parking for 4 cars outside otherwise in the street which is very restricted. Council car park down the bottom of a very steep hill

I was recommended by friends but my experience fell short. We arrived and was told to wait , a colleague would be with us soon. There was only one waiter who was also taking orders. My meal was fine but my husband ordered catch of the day with mussels. It arrived without any mussels and the wrong sauce. The waiter said that was how it was usually served but checked with the kitchen anyway. He apologised that the mussels had been forgotten and subsequently brought out 3 mussels in a pot but didn’t change the sauce. As it was my husbands birthday and I wanted to make a special evening - sadly it was not. Hence the 3 star rating .

We had heard really good things about the food here, which is the only reason we waited so long and didn't get up and leave long beforehand. It took over an hour for my starter to arrive. The dining area was over half empty on our arrival at 6.20, our booking was at 6.30. I can see no reason why it should have taken that long. In all fairness, the food was good - when we eventually got it... The portion size was on the small side, considering the price, particularly the starter. However the service was appalling and it was obvious after a while we had been totally forgotten about, when it came to actually being served any food. We were seated right next to the kitchen serving hatch, on Table 2, so we could see and hear everything going on in the kitchen. After being seated, It took 10 - 15 minutes just to take a drinks order. They wouldn't take a food order at the same time for some reason. Which annoyed my husband. We eventually ordered, I had the pate and sourdough starter, and a monkfish and spring veg main, my husband just ordered a trio of lamb main. Most other diners arrived for 7pm. The kitchen and bar staff seemed very preoccupied with serving these tables. All other tables were served bread rolls and dipping sauce almost immediately. After we had waited 45 minutes, (at which point we were on the verge of walking out), I asked about my starter, which still hadn't arrived. The young lad waiting tables apologised and said it was on its way. Shortly after we were told our first round of drinks was free, by way of an apology. It still took another 10 minutes before we got the "complimentary" bread rolls everyone else had gotten pretty much straight after ordering. By this time, my husband was seriously annoyed. Another 15 minutes after finishing the bread rolls, my starter finally made it to the table. An hour and 10 minutes after we initially ordered. Followed by the mains in a reasonable amount of time. At this point every table that was seated after us had been served their mains before us. The staff were very polite but the service we received was disappointing to say the least... Needless to say we won't be making a return visit.

De verrassing begint bij het binnenkomen van het restaurant. Je komt eerst in het oergezellige pub-gedeelte, waarin niets erop wijst dat je in één van de toprestaurants van Truro bent. Leuke sfeer, gezellige drukte, veel lawaai. Op een vrijdagavond dan nog... We moesten even wachten tot onze tafel vrij was, maar dat is geen probleem als je in de pub een aperitiefje kan nuttigen. Lekker eten, goede wijnen, vriendelijke bediening. Enig nadeel: de prijzen. The Rising Sun is duidelijk zeer populair en dat merk je eraan. Ondanks de (soms te) grote porties toch aan de dure kant, evenals de wijnen. Toch een mooie zaak en zeer de moeite waard!

Wow, what an amazing evening we had. Fabulous quality food, all cooked to perfection & knowledge of dietary conditions impeccable. As a coeliac I’m always worried I won’t get the same meal or service as my ‘muggle’ friends but I could have pretty much anything on the menu! I can honestly say one of the best, exceptional quality meals I have ever eaten & a bonus that it’s here on our doorstep in Truro. Service was also excellent, knowledgable, timely & with a smile. I can see why they repeatedly win many awards! We would love to go back again soon. Many thanks to Tom & the team for a lovely eve!

Took my parents to try the rising sun & I am so glad I did. As a coeliac, eating out can be daunting but I needn’t of worried as the rising sun team went above and beyond to tell me what I could eat & what they could do for me. I had the scallops to start and they were devine - paired with walnuts which I never would have put but it worked so well. I had the beef loin with Pommes Anna, spinach and truffle - delicious . Finished off with a trifle which was amazing, rhubarb and pistachio! We were served by a young gentleman called Jack who was courteous, knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable and at ease. The wine list had plenty of options and some really great wines to pair Thank you to the rising sun team for an incredible and memorable meal. I can see why you’re in the top 100 gastro pubs now!

The price is high and the quantity and quality of the food is not. It’s a lovely pub which sadly seems to have lost its way. The food is expensive, you therefore expect a good standard of meal, but it just didn’t deliver. What’s more, the service wasn’t the best either. It’s a shame that a pub in a lovely location has become so poncey. People want decent food at a reasonable price, this place just looks to take as much money as possible from holidaymakers and locals. Disappointing.

Three of us had dinner here last night. We live locally and have eaten here before about a year ago, better meal then The pub is nice. The waitress was charming. It wasn’t very busy, restaurant side, and we could probably have been given a better spot, eg, not next to the ladies. This is highly priced but not particularly good food. 2 of us had scallops to start, £15. 2 very small scallops, to be precise, or possibly one cut in half, for 15. They might have been fresh but it wasn’t possible to tell, no coral. I think that is a lot of money per gram of scallop meat, cooked with something not very memorable. Passable in a culinary sense but not memorable and massively overpriced I’m afraid. The ham hock was fractionally cheaper, much more substantial and oddly not very nice. 2 of us had hake with the shellfish. Again, tiny pieces of fish. Huge pile of shells and some nice greens but still. We ate at Rick steins not long ago, also not cheap but a generous piece of beautifully cooked and presented hake which this just wasn’t. The fish was ok, the shellfish - clams - were gritty, the mussels not really good enough to use and there were cubes of nearly raw potato in the sauce. We mentioned this and asked for chips. I think the chips should have come off the bill for the raw potato, but they didn’t. Good chips. The duck was nice, but again very small. The lovely waitress might have suggested we order sides given the lack of substance to the mains but she was a newly. We are not massive eaters but the portions are lacking. 1 pudding was perfectly good. My husband had 2 beers which are 30% more expensive than in our nearest pub, my daughter had 2 drinks - a splash of coke or lemonade is 90p. With a £7 bottle of house wine charged at £25 and a couple of cocktails the bill was £300 not including service. It’s possible to get dinner bed and breakfast for 2 in a nearby hotel with a spa for that. Rick steins next time we want to spend that on a meal, because it will be worth it; this just definitely wasn’t and I’m afraid we will not be back

Nice gastro pub. Good selection of drinks and excellent, locally sourced menu. Food was good although main course not quite as good as hoped, touch under seasoned and potato was a bit al dente. Not a cheap meal, so would give it 4 out of 5. Service was quite slow, not the fault of the waitress who was very nice, she just needed another pair of hands as was running the bar and waiting tables simultaneously. I would recommend it overall though.

Sunday lunch was a bit of a disappointment as I had had a super Christmas meal there in December 23 but the pork and the lamb roast were skimpy on the meat and not proper slices but shredded pieces on cool plates . The roasties weren’t very crispy and I couldn’t understand why there was cheese sauce in a gravy boat . A roast is one of the easiest things in the world to get right so wondered what happened . However, the desserts were great , best brownies and homemade ice cream wonderful .

The bar and eating areas are perfect for a busy pub the clever well balanced decorating is in keeping with this iconic pub in St Mawes. Joe has an excellent team Ellie George were two who are smart professional and so helpful. We stayed for the New Year it was busy but the chef maintained a very high standard of food presentation and quality. The hospitality and high hygiene standards means this pub will remain very successful booking a table is recommended but walk in customers are welcomed and usually found a table. Well done team You’re amazing as always.

Truly excellent meal. We’re pretty picky as I’ve been a chef for many years. I mentioned it was my partners birthday hoping for maybe a cheery greeting or a candle on his pudding but we were given two glasses of very nice Prosecco. Thank you. I am gluten intolerant and the staff were knowledgable and kind. Both of the young waiters were very well presented and have clearly been well trained. We enjoyed a Sunday roast - one lamb and one pork- all beautifully cooked. Tender and tasty. If I had to be picky I’d say the red cabbage was a bit sweet and the crackling was a bit soft but it was very difficult to find fault!!

I'll start by saying, we went for Sunday lunch and the food was delicious. However, our visit was really let down by everything else. We booked a 12 o clock table and we had to wait 10 minutes to be seated. Once seated, cutlery was...

Located a few minutes walk (uphill!) from the shops in Truro. We visited for a late Sunday lunch in March. The pub was busy and had a really nice atmosphere. Friendly attentive staff and a well cooked roast. Recommended.

As locals we used to love visiting here for a special meal but unfortunately it has gone downhill. The menu is uninteresting, nothing you couldn't do at home. The mushy peas were just mashed frozen peas. The fish mediocre, had better from the fish and...

The ice creams here are beautiful! Really generous portions and are very well presented. The customer service we received was outstanding, my daughter had a massive meltdown (ASD) and they were nothing but supportive, understanding and helpful. We'd had a very tough day today with meltdowns galore and this one was by far the worst of the day yet I never felt alone or judged. People like you make the biggest difference and I am so very grateful for you going out of your way to help and care. Thank you x
