The Rising Sun public house in East Hampshire

Booked a table online, taking a chance on a place to eat we had not eaten before. My wife and I were with another couple and had the following from the menu: Starters; 2x Ham Hock & Cheddar Croquette, Mustard Mayo. 1x Cajun Tiger Prawns, Asian Sauce, Mixed Leaves. 1x Nachos – Sour Cream, Guacamole, Salsa. Mains; 2x Slow Cooked Rack of Ribs, House Made Barbeque Sauce, Fries, Coleslaw (1x half & 1x full) 1x Quesadilla, Toasted Tortilla Wrap with Melted Cheddar, Onion and Peppers, with added Cajun Chicken 1x Cooked Venison Haunch Steak, Chive Mash, Seasonal Vegetables, Port Reduction, Berry Jus. The food was outstanding, all of our food pierced at the table hot and freshly cooked, flavour of all the dishes was fantastic. I had the venison dish and it was exquisite. Staff were very friendly and helpful, with table service and a good knowledge of the menu. We would all definitely return to this pub/restaurant. Food and drinks were reasonably priced.

Not sure what was going on our visit this evening? Loud music and foul language from a guest bedroom upstairs. I don’t know what else to say except it was very unpleasant!

This was close to where we were staying, so we just had to try it. Some good beers, including a local brewery were on offer and the menu looked inviting. It seemed a bit like a locals pub with people sitting at the bar. We were shown to our table and we ordered our drinks. We had the specials board placed near us and that’s exactly what we went for. Pan fried duck breast cooked beautifully. Moules mariniere with plenty of mussels, bread and chips. What was really good about this dish was the sauce! There was some parsley sprinkled on, but there was a lot of tarragon and it was beautifully creamy. We finished off with chocolate orange bread and butter pudding with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. This was very tasty and VERY filling. We enjoyed it so much that we changed a booking with a friend to here as it served a Sunday Roast, which he wanted. One pork belly and two lamb dishes were eaten with good roast potatoes, a good mix of vegetables and very good Yorkshire puddings and gravy. We finished this off with biscoff cheesecake x 2 and two scoops of blackberry and clotted cream ice cream. All went down well. Good service too.

The roast lamb is rubber couldn't eat and the gravy should be brown it was orange is not nice taste leek was bit uncooked and running swede too dry Yorkshire pudding also roast potatoes not bad but they put gravy on should ourself pour ourselves really we are not very happy about it my mum is old age not happy with it not valued not good service poor QUALITY nice staff lovely but sorry to say

Had the A very tasty Cajun chicken and Prawn Salad for lunch. Was the best salad i've had in a long time full of flavour would highly recommend a visit

The manager really takes the Covid very serious, as soon as we walked in we were told about the one way system, masks etc.Really made us feel safe.Tables were clean menus were clean. He brought the extra menu on the blackboard.Food was great and service was fantastic, Jerry was a fantastic host and we can tell the difference from our previous visit, we only live round the corner we will return

Having enjoyed a 5 mile spring walk through the beautiful countryside to get here, we were very much looking forward to a Sunday roast.

We went to a family Christening and found the food very acceptable and staff were friendly and helpful .We had a separate area for the party .

Comimos en el Sol Naciente la semana pasada, el primer plato de abadejo ahumado pasteles de pescado era muy bueno, lubina también era bueno, no era tan buena carne muy grasos. Pero el director tomó dinero de nuestro billl debido a esto. Las camareras eran muy agradables y continuamente registramos todo estaba bien. Realmente fuimos porque el menú de gin, es una buena carta pero necesita algunas mejoras. Los vasos que tenía mi medio fueron ginserved vasos de pinta lager con un tallo, esta es una preferencia personal, pero debe ser servido en Ginebra un largo vaso alto o el grande que mucho manteles individuales de pubs y restaurantes de uso. También debería ser la tónica, sirve muchos de los gin tonics con en el menú de especialidades, pero la primera fue servido con Schweppes y el segundo árbol fiebre como pedí tónica diferente, creo que es una buena idea tener un menú ginebra, pero sólo necesita ser servido correctamente. En general una noche agradable y buena comida y el servicio era realmente agradable. Intentará de nuevo en unos meses.

Yo era uno de un número de excursionistas que visitaron el Sol Naciente en Clanfield un sábado para disfrutar de una bebida y comer. El paseo tomó nuestra orden de comida líder antes de que comenzar el paseo por el South Downs, así que cuando volvimos a mediodía había demora poco en nuestra comida se sirve.

Ambiente encantador y la comida aún mejor, con una gran variedad de cervezas y ginebras. El pescado y las patatas fritas una pinta estupenda y mi dorada con espinacas y patatas condimentadas estaba delicioso. Los pudines era increíble - caseras y de tamaño generoso. El personal era servicial pero no entrometido brillante - sin duda volveremos.

Fuimos un lunes por la noche con amigos el menú gin era realmente bueno probamos algunas ginebras tenía el pescado tartas que me he comido toda la noche y lubina y gambas ajo para principal. La lubina fue la mejor que he probado en mucho tiempo la piel y pulpa suave y unas ganas de ir de nuevo

Todos los horarios de comida han cambiado. 12 - 3:00 y 6 - 9 pm todos los lugareños piden bebidas habituales, para conseguir dicho sólo hay ciertas cervezas y cervezas, debido a que la nueva renovación de licencias. Nada de sabor natural de patatas fritas. Un número limitado de bebidas para niños. Un poco de decepción, para ser honesto

Had a wonderful lunchtime drink with friends. Great staff, good atmosphere and lovely food. Well done to the new management and enjoyed meeting Lucy and Owen.

En general muy decepcionado por un número de razones.

Vine aquí para el almuerzo en el 27, pedimos coca-cola pero estaban fuera. Luego nos sentamos y los menús de vino. Dos bits de atornillado y luego aflojar papel manchado. Ambos pedimos pescado y patatas fritas, las comidas eran terribles. Nos registramos en demasiado rápidamente (después del primer trago). El pescado era tan pasada era asqueroso, seguros si era aceite o aderezo de la ensalada, pero cubierto el revestimiento placa de las fichas que les daba un sabor horrible (podías ver que cubren la capa inferior gruesa). Cuando las placas fueron aclaradas nos dijeron que no era muy buena, casi no se ha tocado (yo tenía un bocado de mi pescado). La camarera dijo que decirle al chef. . No oí nada de vuelta. y me dieron la factura cobrando tanto para comidas completas. Muy caro comida horrible, el director debería haber venido o alguien debió haber reconocido la queja, yo trabajo en un restaurante muy bueno, así que sé cómo debería haber sido manipulados.

Yo fui ayer con unos amigos y yo tuvimos una noche totalmente encantador. El servicio era muy bueno y la comida era encantador. El menú era sólo un menú provisional pero aún había mucha variedad. Una buena adición que tienen un menú de gin. Es genial que el pub está abierto de nuevo ya que el pueblo realmente necesita. Lo único que falta es que necesitan hacer uso del espacio interior, para el lado donde está muy mal cuidados, poner un poco de Turf astro y entonces tienes una zona de juegos para niños, con algunos asientos para los padres.

Desde nuestra última visita los propietarios han evolucionado. En el período intermedio vándalos han entrado en el edificio y hecho todo un lío. Los nuevos propietarios han hecho una renovación rápida y corta en el tiempo de Navidad y fiestas de Año Nuevo antes de un planeado reformas en 2017. Mi esposa y yo visitamos para un almuerzo rápido y encontramos el pub tranquilo, el personal amable y la comida buena, lo que augura bien para la cena de Navidad que habíamos reservado y pagado antes y permanente en el nuevo año. Hasta ahora tan bueno. Esperemos los propietarios mantener el buen comienzo han hecho siguiendo el alto nivel dejado por los anteriores dueños. Se hará una nueva visita en 2017.

Went today, was very busy but staff were very upbeat and efficient. The roast was excellent and plentiful with all the trimmings. The decor is standard for an old fashioned country pub, but I was there to enjoy the food, I did, and would definitely go back.

We had a very enjoyable evening at this great restaurant. The menu was extensive and the food was good. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Awful! is about all i can say. We ate there 2 weeks or so ago. Stopping in on our way through the village it looked lovely from the outside - we should have left it there. The inside was a totally different story! Not only did we wait an age to be seated and served but we had to remind the waitress about or drinks. When the food did eventually arrive it was warm at best and i certainly wouldn't recommend it, i've had better microwave ready meals. The pub its self looked in dyer need of a good clean it was disgusting. I have used more hygenic public toilets and my partner said that the men's was even worse, with waste water from the urinals all over the floor. Im amazed they are allowed to stay open. The entire place is a hovel.I don't honestly have a lot more to say about this place other then its an utter disgrace. The bar staff leave a lot to be desired. Not only are they miserable and lack luster they were useless, forgetting orders and clearly not capable of even the most minimal customer service. They were more content standing about chatting and helping themselves to drinks. it was more like a youth hostel then a welcoming local pub. - wont be going back.

Called in for a coffee whilst walking around Clanfield on a mild September morning. Warm welcome and plenty of room in this proper pub in the village. Although we just had coffee and hot chocolate on this occasion there is an excellent range of beers on offer, Amstel, Moretti, HSB, Guinness and more....can't wait to try them soon! Staff helpful and friendly, toilets clean and a good feel to the place!

Attended with 3 friends for Sunday lunch. The car park was full which bodes well for the lunch. The roasts were either beef or pork and we ordered 3 pork and 1 beef. All were good and enjoyed. Only one of the party had wine, the rest having lime and soda. The young staff were attentive and friendly and very active with clients. While I do not approve of smoking, the cigarette end containers outside the door were full and there was overflow on the path. My wife reported this and it was immediately cleared. The pub has changed hands again recently and they will have to try hard to keep up the standards of service and food established by the previous publican. I will keep watch!

This pub has a friendly welcoming atmosphere. We had been out with the dogs and were wet and cold. The bar staff made us so welcome and made such a fuss of the pack we stayed for food rather that just the drink we originally went in for.We had a selection of bar snacks and they were all superb. The pub has a lovely rustic feel and is definately one we will be returning to.The main menu had a good and varied choice and from we could see the meals were all pretty hearty.

Visited the rising sun today with my 6 year old god daughter for Sunday dinner I had the Spinach and mushroom cannelloni it was cooked to perfection and my god daughter had chicken nuggets, chips and beans she ate the lot and said it was delicious, the staff were very friendly especially Stacey the manager, they provided her with colouring pencils and paper which kept her entertained. We didn't have to wait long at all for are drinks or are food to come out. Will defiantly be back very soon.

Went to The Rising Sun at the weekend. Great ambience and Stacey made me feel hugely welcome. Enjoyed a really juicy steak which was perfectly cooked and the wine was superb too. I will be back!! Thank you Stacey. Stewart

I take my daughter to The Rising Sun for dinner at least once a week. The staff and manager are friendly and helpful. The food is always very tasty and presented well. They always give her colouring to keep her entertained. The lighter bites menu gives a great choice for kids. There is a real team atmosphere. I've read some of the negative reviews and none of them even sound like the same venue. I highly recommend steak night 2 steak dinners and a bottle of wine £20 bargain. I also look forward to trying out curry night. I noticed they have a Monday quiz, Tuesday steak night, curry night and weekend entertainment. What more can you ask of from your local. We look forward to dining with you again soon. *****My only request is can you put the ribs back on the menu they are amazing.

We visited this pub to celebrate my grandmothers birthday. When we ordered our food my husband asked to "upgrade" his chips to include cheese and bacon (which was offered as a side) and he would pay the cost of the side in addition to his meal. We were soon informed by the waitress that the chef had refused this request as he "does not accept alterations to the menu". I'm sorry? What? We had simply asked for something on the menu to be added to a meal and were paying for that. We therefore ordered a separate portion of chips with cheese and bacon as offered as a side on the menu, expecting this to come with the rest of the mains. These chips were then delivered to our table before our starters! We obviously sent them away. Starters were ok - not great. Our mains were then delivered to our table with the cheesy chips. They had very clearly just put the original portion under the hot plate and bought them back out at the right time. The cheese was solid and the chips were dry. They also forgot the sauce my husband ordered with his meal as well as half of the bits and pieces it was supposed to come with, but by this point we could not be bothered to complain.The arrogance of the chef is unbelievable, particularly given that the food is at best acceptable. I can understand if we had asked for the meal to be substantially altered, but we simply asked for a portion of the cheesy chips that he already offers on his menu to be put on my husbands plate. This is not a fine dining restaurant and if this attitude continues you will soon find yourselves alienated from the local community as there are plenty of places that will cook what the customer asks for. Service was slow. The waitresses knew absolutely nothing about the menu and they had to go back to get all the bits and pieces they forgot to add to the order which extended the time it took to serve our main courses.All in all a poor show and we will not be returning.

I was very disappointed with the service, to say it was like pulling teeth to get a drink was an understatement, there were several staff chatting and laughing to busy to serve the larger lady posing as the manager said she would sort it love after supping out of her pint.The food was warm and not of the quality of our last visit, also people were smoking by the doors mainly staff also smoke was blowing in to the restaurant where we were sat eating we certainly wont be returning anytime soon how a lovely village pub can become so poor in such a short time its a shame where have the polite well mannered well spoken staff gone I wonder to be by a scruffy lazy team.

A September Tuesday evening found six good friends taking advantage of Steak night at the Rising Sun. £20 for two steak dinners with a very passable bottle of wine. The food was well cooked and well presented. Everyone in our party enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere added to the enjoyment. The restaurant-pub was very busy but this did not impact at all on service, there was no delay in food arriving. The staff were very attentive and cheerful. We are going to repeat visit for another fun evening.

Well, this has dropped a mark due to the place removing Stella from the choice of Lagers. I've lived here for 6 years now, unfortunately I feel massively let down by this change. When I asked, there was no explanation. Very disappointed. :(

The rising sun is a lovely old village pub. It has a good choice and quality of food. Table and Bar service is always very good too.On some evenings the pub offers quizzes and bands which are well attended. Because of its village location the pub always has a friendly atmosphere and this is definitely not the sort of place where trouble might break out. The Rising Sun also offers B&B and although Ive never used this service I have heard the rooms are well kept and the service very good. Not a cheap pub meal, more a better home cooked food kind of price. Would definitely recommend a visit.

I stood here for 20 minutes on two separate occasions waiting to be served. On one occasion there was nobody behind the bar and the second occasion there was a young blond girl who was too busy pouring herself a tomato juice then, upon checking her glass realised it had lipstick on, pouring it away before helping herself to another. She then had a sip and walked out the back. I thought that I would see how observant the staff were on this occasion and the answer, they are not. The staff all look miserable as if they do not want to be there and, of the three working on this particular day, only one was paying any attention to the bar area - it wasn't the blond one or the fuller figured dark haired one who just sat at the bar on the customers side most of the time.

Re-visited this establishment on my wife and I's wedding anniversary and found nothing has changed - good food, fair prices, good staff clean establishment. Only downside I heard that the owners will be leaving some time in the future! What a loss for Clanfield! I wish the proprietors well in their new venture wherever and whenever that may be. They certainly brought the Rising Sun up in the world.

This place is a joke if you stand at the bar you should expect to be served if not that busy. I waited 20 minutes to be served in a pub that wasn't that busy. 3 staff on and not 1 behind the bar. I should've just helped myself!!!Speaking to regulars, this is not unusual. They told me that they are quite often left with no one behind the bar and when they do come round, they serve the first person they see not ask who is next.The staff that I spoke to complain about their bosses and most cannot wait to leave stating they are on no contracts and some staff have been sacked for "personal complaints" but none of these are proven. I could not pass comment on this side of it but certainly feel that the staff are in general an unhappy bunch.
