The Rising Sun - Carta

Visited in July and was delighted with the quality of food. The pub has a large outside beer garden where we enjoyed a ploughman’s and the best ham and cheese omelette ever.

Lovely service and staff, but the journey was made worth while due to the amazing ratatouille served with every dish. Even cold we enjoyed every mouth watering morsel, would visit again.

Three of us had the black stone steak, the steak was amazing and very lean. Great and novel way to cook your steak. My daughter had the burger which was also cooked perfectly. Service was first class, set up well and following the covid rules. We all felt very safe, can’t recommend this pub enough. We will return. Ver carta

Had a lovely evening at the Rising Sun. Wonderful Christmas meal-such a difference to have proper home cooked food. Portions were generous, all delicious and the staff friendly and helpful. The pub was buzzing, lots of locals which resulted in a warm and welcoming atmosphere I can highly recommend, oh and the red wine was excellent! Will be back

Credit where credit is due. The Husband and I partook of the current eat out to help out incentive last night. Just like the previous week it was so very very busy with the weather doing it’s little bit too. We both had the Texas Chicken from the specials board. Delicious, light and plenty of it. Ideal for a hot day. All the staff should take a bow, from working in a stifling kitchen to managing the vast numbers of customers and the phone ringing off the hook. You all know who you are.

I stumbled upon this amazing gem and it far surpasses going into Sidmouth itself. The landlord and landlady are absolutely wonderful, and the pub has a traditional feel with a fantastic selection of beers and ales. The local customers are friendly and welcoming, and the value for money is unbeatable. The garden is lovely, especially in the sun, and there are also traditional games like skittles, pool, and darts available. Every Sunday, there is an excellent meat raffle supplied by a local butcher. I never want to leave and can't wait to return. Thank you. Ver carta

There is a large sign outside advertising freshly ground coffee. When we ordered two coffees, we were shown a jar of instant coffee by the server, which was disappointing. When I asked for tomato juice instead, I was told they didn't have any because nobody had asked for it recently. It made me wonder if they really want customers. I suggested they stock a few bottles of tomato juice and consider removing the misleading sign outside. I understand the importance of supporting local businesses, but they need to make some effort to accommodate customers. Ultimately, we decided to leave.

We were struggling to find a pub that offered food on a Sunday evening, and found this on the internet. We were not sure when we arrived, pub was virtually empty we had passed it a few times previously and it never seemed that busy). Pub was basic and old fashioned, and had atmosphere. Food was very good albeit fairly limited. I had an apple and cider cake for desert, homemade, and superb, very light and tasty without being overbearing. Helpful and friendly staff . Good local beers, albeit I was driving so only could have one. This is the sort of pub i say USE IT OR LOOSE IT !!. Note car park is down the road behind the Spar shop and is a council pay car park.

We used to go to the Rising Sun for the monthly quiz which, obviously but sadly, has been suspended until this current nuisance is beaten and the world returns to the old normal. It didn't stop us from going there on Monday last week and again last Thursday and our tables were suitably separated, being far enough apart to be safe but without our needing to shout. There was a plentiful supply of hand gel at the entrance and we had to give our contact details. We also had to wear a face covering when away from our tables so all necessary safety measures were in place. Unsurprisingly, the main menu is a little limited for the time being but there's a new small plate menu which offered over a do... Ver carta
