The Rising Sun in Sheffield

Sunday lunch was really lovely. Service was a tad slow, but the place was packed when we arrived. Our table wasn’t ready when we arrived, but the staff sorted it quickly. The staff were a bit abrupt in how they spoke to us, but I think that is because its too busy for the amount of staff they had on. The food was lovely.

Not been to the pub for two years Due to previous landlord, have to say it’s a different world Can’t recommend enough, also disco tunes on a Saturday

Really lovely meal, a great service and very friendly staff. The food was lovely and we had a very nice night. A very nice, warm, welcoming atmosphere too.

Great service and value for money.

Small portions of food. Cold. Uninspiring. Rubbery, chewy 'Chicken Wings' Lamb Koftas? 🤣

Reasonably good value for a quick meal in a very pleasant building. But staff don't contribute to a pleasant experience - talking loudly to each other; chatting in group of 4 while customers waiting at the bar; untidy staff table with dishes left and clothes over chairs; robotic service with no sincere interest in customers. Very slack.

Really cosy pub. Lovely staff.

I regularly meet up with friends here at the weekend, for a few pints and a natter. Since the refurbishment, the place has gone from strength to strength. I really like the selection of beers on offer, and it's always a good pint. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. I feel lucky to count this as one of my local pubs.

Clean, comfortable and welcoming. Will be back.

My family and I came for an evening meal tonight. We ordered a kids meal of burger and chips for my son. His came with only 10 chips on the plate. I politely asked for a few more chips for him but was told we'd have to buy them as a side as "the meal was to spec". Lol. Awesome service! I'm sure a few extra chips wasn't worth this review.

Greeted very well on arrival, the guy behind the bar was friendly and helpful in finding us a nice spot to sit. We ordered two spicy chicken burgers with chips and was expecting the wait time to be a while as it was quite busy but the food was out to us within 10-15minutes max. The food came and it tasted amazing, both meals piping hot, the burgers were well put together and melted in your mouth. We sat by the fire which was really nice and feels like a cosy place to go and enjoy some wintery food. I would highly recommend here if you want a nice meal at a reasonable price, as well as a relaxed atmosphere and friendly service.

Food takes a while to arrive. Average tasting. Service rough and ready (with exception of one person). No interest in the feedback re certain items. Not my cup of tea and am unlikely to return.

You can really tell this place has been updated, out front and in the back. Warm cosy atmosphere and a great pint. You can tell the kitchen has been overhauled too! Food was great. Very quick, generous portion and tasted unreal. I'd recommend The Rising Sun to everyone, wether you've never been before or been a million times. 10/10

Nice place. Food was really good and came quickly. Would recommend

Great little pub, cracking food nice selection of cask.

We visited twice in the past month. Once for an evening meal and once for lunch. Evening meal was great. Food was excellent and service was very good too. It was very busy but our food arrived in no time at all Lunch, however. Again, great food but the service wasn't great. Nobody came to collect empty plates/dishes untill the next course came out, which meant they'd got no space to put the food on our table. Also found it took a lot longer to receive our food despite it being a lot quieter.

Lovey atmosphere, great food and amazing service. Staff very helpful and polite couldn't ask for more. Food came out quickly

Wanted a quiet area to meet with friends for a meal , table was ideal. Use a Birthday discount voucher I was sent to get 25% off the drinks.

I had two different experiences, the staff were very helpful and friendly. However, my food order was really poor, ordered a roast chicken. The chicken tasted old and was overpowered by bbq sauce which was unpleasant.

Only here for drinks. First visit with a friend who is a local and I felt right at home. Good service and friendly staff.

amazing service good food child friendly and dog friendly has a dog station with treats fresh water and dog bowls. A great selection of real ales all at reasonable prices.

arrived 1:20pm on wednesday, plenty of free tables, we ordered the three courses lunch under £12. all the ordered dishes were tasty. it was value for money

Great food, excellent set menu. 3 course £11.79 Sausage and mash with onion gravy and crispy onions is 9/10 good. I recommend strongly

Often pop in for a few after the match. Great selection of beers with excellent service each time. Pub looks lovely and all. Love it

The service me and my wife received from Tom (hope I got that right) and the team on our last visit was outstanding! Quick service, happy staff and high quality food. What more can we ask for. Will be paying a visit again.

Good food/service. The option to have a smaller meal would be a definite advantage.

Nice welcome, great menu. tasty food, pleasant staff. Soft drinks very expensive.

First visit, as with all Ember inns the service and food were as good as usual. Will go again.

Every meal bought here has been way above average, yes a bit more expensive than wetherspoons, but much better value imo

Lovely food, very clean pub both inside and out, staff are great! Food served in great time, looked lovely and cooked very well. The gardens are well cared for and large enough for children to run around in! All round a lovely pub with a great atmosphere.

Having pre booked lunch with 4 colleague. My Lasagna was sent out burnt black. After managing to get the waitresses to replace the meal she brought the replacement after several minutes drop it on the table and left leaving no cutlery. I feel both manager and waitress could really do with attending course on good customer services. After using the restaurant to meet up on several previous occasions I think that this new management is not a patch on the previous management. We will not be returning and would never recommend this restaurant. I have only given 1 star because I could not leave none.

Went out for a birthday meal, the waiter was lovely and the food was excellent!!

the food was beautiful and delicious, the staff are super friendly and nice and welcoming, it is really dog friendly with treats and water provided for your dog, highly recommend

Really nice pub, Tom was so friendly, helpful and accommodating!

Good food, the waiter was absolutely on it !

A great pub with delicious food and really good service. We held a leaving so here for a large number of people. The buffet was varied and tasty, the atmosphere welcoming and relaxed and the service was excellent. (Molly was particularly helpful.)

Very nice lunch relaxed atmosphere. Good selection of beers

Always 5 star, new Assistant Manager Tom, what an asset. He's so good with customers, he went out of his way to chat and interact with a special needs customer. He should be proud of himself. Ember Inns, this man is destined for greater things

Lorraine, Molly and Tom were on their game and exceeded our expectations. Service with a smile and some dry wit rolled in for good measure. Food was excellent as were the drinks. We'll be back yet again.

Not good portions were very small steak was very tough puddings OK

An afternoon in the rare sunshine with my luncheon ladies Very pleasant afternoon in a lovely quaint pub. Very nice staff and manager, Mark I think his name, was very jolly and helpful It’s in our diary for our July catch up

Had a really nice meal today, great burgers 🍔 lovely atmosphere and service. We will visit again.

We had our Wedding Party at the Rising Sun on Saturday 18th May and it was wonderful. The staff (Mark and Lorraine) went out of their way to make sure that everything was perfect for us and all of our guests. The food was excellent and plentiful, and our toast glasses constantly refreshed.

The food and drinks was beautiful. Really nice and thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks to the lovely chefs and thanks to Molly and the boss I was presuming that brought the drinks over. Due to myself forgetting you had to go to bar.

Sensibility priced food, good service, nice atmosphere. Nothing needs improving.

My wife and i thought we'd try the Rising Sun for a change. Everything was OK except for my steak on my mixed grill. I asked for medium but it was really well done like chewing a Wellington boot and my wife had the Duo which is half a chicken and gammon but she only got a chicken leg, apart from that spot on

An hour wait for main course. Not particularly busy when we arrived. Almost all items on lunch menu out of stock! Nachos amazing but main courses (our 2nd choice as all first choices unavailable) ok but not really what we expected. Small bits of over cooked breaded chicken in a ciabatta that was too big for the portion of chicken. Wasn't worth the wait. Won't be hurrying back!

The food is amazing very fast service and really good price for what you get, the staff seem really friendly and go out their way to help whenever you need it

Myself and my partner have just been for Sunday lunch. My partner had the beef dinner and I had chicken. The beef was lovely however the vegetables were hard. Wrong side of aldente. Yorkshire and roasties were fine. My chicken was tasty but tough. I had spring cabbage, leeks and peas which were lovely. Having finished our main, we were left with the dirty plates on the table for over 15 minutes, to the point where I became annoyed and had to physically ask a member of staff to clear our table and find out where our dessert was. 10 minutes later, what can only be described as a dish of mush, pretending to be Apple and blackberry crumble, was served to my partner. My Eton Mess Sundae was ok. Sadly a disappointing experience.

Staff were very friendly, bathrooms are clean and the atmosphere of the restaurant is great, very cozy and adorably decorated! I ordered the burger which was pretty bland but good and fries which were nice as well. Would come again!

Always get a good well prepared and presented meal reasonably priced too

Its an Embers Inn group so you expect typical pub grub but you don't expect your meat to be too be burnt and your accompaniments to be small child sized. Staff were happy to speak to the chef about that though.

We recently held the reception at The Rising Sun following my Mother's funeral. The staff couldn't have been more helpful making the arrangements. Everything was ready on our arrival, the buffet freshly prepared and brought out hot. The food was plentiful and catered for varied tastes. The area we used was nicely laid out, clean and well presented and the seating arranged so groups could be together. Would highly recommend for similar occasions.

Food was ok but not up to usual standard. For example, burnt tomatoes, overcooked fried eggs on gammon, not a great piece of gammon

Went for Sunday lunch not great having table service had to order at busy bar which took a while.Drinks were fine and reasonably priced but Sunday lunch was not particularly good with everything coming to the table piled on top of eachother and tasted rather bland with roast potatoes straight from the deep fat fryer.Overall had far better in many other places so wouldn't be returning but that's my opinion

Went there for a funeral wake. Background music was very loud. Didn't like to ask for it to be turned down under the circumstances. But they should realise that people, mostly elderly, want to talk. Food was tasty.

I rarely leave reviews but feel strongly in this regard so we have to as we are so disappointed. Not very friendly for disabled having reserved a table for Mother’s Day. Was greeted by the landlady who took us to the wrong table despite having pre booked one closer to the door due to her disability. Was rudely spoken to and advised all bookings are computer generated. After she struggled to walk the length of the pub, we sat down and noticed the wrong name on the table reservation. Despite checking again I was rudely spoken to and told it was our table. 5 minutes later we are asked to move to the front of the pub, where we wanted to sit as they have got our table wrong and had written our surname wrong on the table against the booking sheet the landlady had at the time! The waitress was brilliant and was embarrassed herself for the errors! The Sunday carvery was poor and wish we had booked into the Toby carvery instead. We ordered half a chicken dinner and got 2 legs and the gammon dinner had as much fat as gammon and the vegetables were so hard one flew off the table when trying to be cut. Sadly will not be returning.

Friendly staff , tasty food and good value for money

It was great service, friendly and helpful. The food was excellent.

Hi went on a Friday evening bar staff lovely Table area cold hole in wall behind table with ventilation grate fell off stuck on floor noisy area near bar for a meal Thought we'd try the 3 course menu in a quick message don't bother you get what you pay for packet food .

Unfortunately we had a bad experience at the Rising Sun - The chap behind the bar and the young girl serving were friendly, but the older lady should be nowhere near customers. Rude, unfriendly, and treats you as an inconvenience rather than a valuable customer. Food order arrived wrong, rectified quickly but still wrong. Not an experience we are likely to repeat.

Lovely pub, owner and staff very welcoming. The beef Sunday Roast was excellent, tender thick beef on the bone with fantastic gravy. The burgers were juicy and well cooked.

Pleasant atmosphere, good service, tasty food, enjoyable Valentine's day lunch 😋

The staff were very accommodating when I went in to book for my Dads funeral wake. I arranged the silver buffet with cake and teas and coffees, everything came out hot and was all good quality and nicely served

Our visit was perfect. We had booked a ‘wake’ and the staff at the Rising Sun made it run like clockwork. We are so grateful for everything you did for us. The food and service were 5*. The staff were so helpful and professional.

Enjoyed a lovely meal with my grandson. Service was exceptionally good. Hope to visit again soon.

Well, where do I start. I can not praise this establishment enough for what they have done for us and our family/friends. We booked a 'Wake' for 25 people and this establishment gave us more than expected. I wasn't very good with the booking on-line so rang them and the land lady sorted it all over the telephone for me. She was so lovely and very helpful, thank you so much, I really appreciated it. The price was more than reasonable for all of the lovely food and service. The food buffet was just perfect. The cold food was chilled and the hot food was hot. The amount was really good, everyone had more than enough with plenty to choose from. Molly was very patient with me when ordering drinks for everyone as they arrived. I lost my way with who had ordered and who hadn't but Molly being a true professional stepped in and helped me. How she remembered so many drinks was beyond me but Molly, just like magic sorted it, thank you Molly, you saved me. During our visit Sally also helped us, yet again so professional and very helpful, thanks Sally, I really appreciated your help. I know many others must have been involved in the background to make sure the 'Wake' went as planned, it definitely exceeded our expectations. Thank you to all of you.

Fantastic food, the ultimate burger is brilliant. Highly recommend

Very nice pub with some good beers. 13 of us had a meal here and all of them were impressed with both the food and service. 👍

A friendly owner and nice well looked after building with good atmosphere. The food unfortunately was awful. The crispy chicken ciabata was cremated to death, black and so dry it was in edible, the ciabata looked suspiciously like a baguette piece, but we were not informed of any substitution. Shame, cause really would have liked to go again. But the food was not worth the cost. It did come out quickly though.

Late lunch. Nice atmosphere and pleasant staff. Not too long wait for food. Lasagne tasted like shepherds pie with pasta.

The service and quality of food were excellent, the staff were friendly and efficient.

Nice pub and some good food, with friendly staff

The good was amazing, we had the Beef Sunday dinner it was really gorgeous. Soup, Nachos, sticky toffee pudding and apple crumble was lovely too. The land lady is hilarious, stood chatting away to us. Excellent all round xx

Look, my wife and i have been to this friendly pub quite a few times and have always enjoyed ourselves. Good food, quick service, friendly staff, cosy atmosphere. We like it.

The pub is very welcoming and a nice place to visit

Had Christmas day here and it was a lovely place, great service and lovely people who work there. The food was lovely but the veg was a little crunchy for the wife, a little picky I know, but some people like and some don't

We had to cancel Xmas day a couple of months before & transferred our deposit to Boxing Day. (£59.95) The advertised Boxing Day price was around £30 -£35 per head we were charged £78 additional total over £130 for 2. I feel we have been had considering there was only 2 of us with 2 Peroni, 1 Pepsi and a cheeseboard

The family and I went here for Christmas dinner. Without a doubt it was the best quality Christmas dinner we have we have ever had away from home. The staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough to make the day special. Our server Vicky was enthusiastic and genuinely committed to making sure everyone had a great Christmas experience. I cannot recommend this venue enough. We are already in the process of booking for next year, next time it will be for about 25 people. Thank you for making our Christmas dinner special, what an amazing team!

Large traditional pub. Welcomes families. Food. Large car park. Great atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic! Had Christmas dinner here with the family today. What can I say! It was absolutely wonderful, succulent turkey and amazing fresh vegetables. The waitress was lovely and couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome. We will definitely be booking for 2024. Thank you for making our Christmas so memorable.

A lovely little watering hole with a great extensive range on the menu. Great for a homely feeling this time of the year.

So lovely food brilliant we Christmas menu best Christmas pudding ever 😋

We booked a festive meal for our family to get together and it was very enjoyable. There was a lovely warm fire, radiators were piping hot and we had a nice table in the back room which had plenty of space for us all. The servers were all nice and polite. The portion sizes were very good and more than ample for us. Most of us had the turkey dinner and the meat was tender, there were loads of roast potatoes and a very good veg selection.

We visited the Rising Sun, Abbey Lane for a relaxing family meal. We booked a table for 12.45 and arrived promptly. Firstly, the draught, guest beer was sour. We ordered the meal at 1pm. The starters were late to arrive about 1.30 but were good. The main course arrived at 2.15 with no explanation or apology for the delay. Both mixed grills were tepid when they arrived and the chicken breast was over cooked and burnt (see photo). My chargrilled chicken breast was also over cooked and cremated. I would have been ashamed to present this meal. The waitress did not enquire at any time whether our meal was ok. I did complain when I went to pay the bill as both mixed grills had been wasted as they were cold before they were finished. I was given a refund of one meal and an apology at this. However, it would have been preferable to have enjoyed a timely, well cooked meal. It appeared that others were being served in preference to us. We will not return.

Great little pub friendly service and Helen does amazing in the kitchen 😀

It's a nice pub and the beer is good and well priced. But the food really isn't great, so much deep fried and in breadcrumbs - all that was hard to avoid!

Part of a chain with decent deals on the app and sent via email. we arrived about 5pm loads of tables already booked and really busy for a Monday night. Nice atmosphere, lovely staff, decent meal without costing a fortune.

I had pre booked a table as I know it gets busy we got seated straight away and I order drinks and food of the ember inns app this is the start of things going wrong it was 15 minutes later for someone to bring us the drinks we ordered and 30 minutes for the food to come and when it did it was freezing cold some items where missing and veg was under cooked on mine And my partners plates I did say to a staff member that it was cold and items where missing but nothing was done about it so we really did not eat any of it we them order a sweet I had a apple pie With custard it was freezing cold again my partners was ok I spent good money with you that night and we don't go out that much and you ruined what was going to be a good night I am very angry and disappointed with what I got that was not food I would not feed it to my dog it was that bad and the service a joke to

We held a wake here this afternoon. Private reserved area. Organisation was fantastic. Food Buffett excellent. Everything from sandwiches, to Nachos, Garlic Bread and Chicken, Indian etc… Hot food was hot. Staff were extremely helpful and dedicated bar. Thank you Rising Sun staff for making a tough day so amazing.

My wife and I have been going to this pub for years. Whike we go less frequently these days the service is always great and it has a nice atmosphere especially when busy at the weekend

Good choice of drinks and Good food at a good price

Good pub good food quick service friendly staff

Great service. Friendly staff. Lovely pub. Food okay.

Well the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, the minute you walk in it feels like your a regular. Food was good quality and reasonably priced. Great selection on the bar. Will definitely be visiting again soon

Great place, lovely staff and food.

Lovely pub , very welcoming and friendly helpful staff

Amazing evening. Steak night on a Thursday, See you next Thursday

Had lunch with friends. Plenty of choice and good service throughout our visit.

Service was fantastic (only 2 on and they were amazing) Atmosphere good Fire on so nice and cosy Food good and great value for money. Main topper was the 2 staff members on. Couldn’t do enough and despite being the only 2 you would never have known. Plus food came quickly, nicely presented and hot (unlike TGI Fridays last week, this was definitely worth the visit!!)
