They have a brunch menu with different stuff coffee tea cakes all look nice Jordan Willis5 January 2024 I want to say, how welcome everyone here made myself & my twin sister feel when we broke down outside. The landlord Freddie, all the staff and locals were some of the most accommodating people I’ve ever come across. Nothing was too much trouble to help us both. I couldn’t recommend The Rising Sun more.Google rating score: 4.6 of 5, based on 155 reviews
