A modern vibrant interior in this pub which is home to a fab Thai restaurant. The service is upbeat and attentive and the food excellent. A good menu choice and plenty of tweaks available such as with or without garlic and chilli. Portions are generous.Vegetarian options: There’s a special veggie menu which is veggie versions of the main menu all of which are excellent. And saves having to read the meat options ?

Service was not as expected had to go to bar to order drinks which was disappointing as there was more than adequate staffing levels on evening.No clear direction and no obvious front of house manager.Starters was expected (basic and simple)Mains and side dishes were well below expectations.The staff were pre occupied with their own private conversations.Prices exceeded acceptable standards.Would not visit again.Parking: Not enough space.

We had a Christmas do in The Rising Sun. Lovely place, beautiful interior and friendly and organised service. We had a great time! Food is fantastic with generous portions. Definitely recommended.Parking: Parking at the back of the restaurant, spaces for about 15 cars. There is a nearby paid parking lot, approx 3 min walk.

Met with a friend for lunch and opted for the reasonably priced 2 dishes for £15.50.I'm allergic to chillis, so it is we nice to be able to check the menu before arriving on the website to know that there were going to be dishes that weren't spicy included, and to confirm no chillis were in the dishes on arrival (especially as I love a chicken satay!)There is a small car park which was great, and the decor and general atmosphere was warm and inviting. It was a little busy even for an early lunch service, so I think a popular choice with locals.A small thing, but a touch both myself and friend enjoyed, was out soft drinks being served on wine glasses.Food was well cooked and tasty, although I found my BBQ pork a little underseasoned.All in all a nice little place to meet for lunch and I would happily go again.Parking: Around 15 spaces.

Very tasty. Nice drinks too. Will return soon.?Vegetarian options: I ordered of the vegetarian menu and vegan availableDietary restrictions: Can ask for gluten freeParking: Parking can get tight

We had an amazing group dinner for 15 last night at the Rising Sun. The food was outstanding, service quick and staff friendly and helpful. A great evening out - I would recommend to all! Thank you Rising Sun, Christchurch!

We enjoyed the warm and friendly atmosphere at the Rising Sun. There is a choice of cask and keg beers, draught Guinness, wines, and many other drinks. We have brought our friends to the restaurant in the past, and they shared our enjoyment of the food, and the friendly service of the staff. There is plenty of seating, both inside and outside, very comfortable throughout the year. George, the manager, is always welcoming, helpful and efficient. We would be very happy to return to the Rising Sun in the future.

We are sat here now, my regret is I have not found it before. The ambience is amazing, so we'll thought out ??. We than move to the food - absolutely stunning and so much of it. Love this place.Then we move on to the staff, the owners should be so proud, they have found the best staff around here. I cannot praise the girls enough.This place should not be missed, an absolute hidden gem. Cannot wait to come back again. We all love this place.Well done to you all.
