Great 15th century pub with super staff. Sunday lunch was out of this world, with carve your own meat. Next time we are in this part of the world, we will be

Regrettably I was late finding this place before it closed. Had a few good experiences there. Did not know what was awaiting when I revisited. To be fair the food and drinks were OK but the atmosphere was severely lacking. The pub was dark. In fact I thought it was closed on arrival! It was cold despite a log fire. We could not take our coats off! The welcome was also somewhat lacking. A real shame as we are local and was looking forward to finding a cosy pub for regular use. Nevertheless I hope the business does well.

What a treat!You drive down what seems like a hunting road and happen across this little slice of authentic, historic pub except that it’s not pub food.. it’s delicious quality restaurant food. A great find.

This pub is lovely, friendly and the food, wow, incredible, can't recommend highly enough. 1st visit but we've already booked to go back.

It’s just reopened so wanted to give it a go again. Greeted by a lovely lady who was very friendly, attentive and helpful. She also gave us a tour of the changes that have been made which are lovely. The menu was good, the food very tasty, although the portions were huge so go hungry. The new landlord, and chef, came out and spent time chatting to us which was nice. It was very quiet but hopefully that’s just because people don’t know they’re open again. I’ll be back to try again for sure.

Under new management and what a fab meal we had tonight! First night of food and it was 10/10 - well prepared and plated, excellent staff and our new favourite haunt. Not to be missed

The most fabulous meal in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere... gutted to learn this was one of the last şervings before closing for a while

We came for Sunday lunch and had a fabulous meal. Service was excellent, the food exceeded expectations, simply superb. Could not have been better, thank you.
Wow what a find ! After reading the reviews I decided to book a table for dinner as we were staying at a house in the neighbouring village. I called ahead and explained that the dinner was a surprise for my husband’s 50th birthday and he didn’t know our friends were travelling to join us. From the moment we arrived the staff kept the surprise a secret and my husband had no clue and was so shocked ! The food was sensational - our guests said they hadn’t tasted food like it and the customer service was second to none. Our only regret is that we don’t live closer as we would definitely become regulars ! We will definitely visit again when next in the area.

This is a lovely pub, lots of unspoilt character, fresh white table cloths, fresh flowers and a really warm welcome. The star of the show was, however, the food which was seriously good, served in ample portions and with a good value lunchtime menu. We will definitely return.

We visit The Rising Sun on a regular basis but after a wonderful meal there after we got married in December I had to write a review. We spoke with them about having a 3 course meal for 19 of us after we got married at Taunton Registry office, it was a small celebration but it felt so special. They prepared an incredible three course dinner for us including pigeon, scallops, sirloin and duck and all of it was absolutely perfect. We could not have wished for a better meal and evening, all of our guests complimented them on the pub itself, it was warm and cozy with the Christmas decorations up and the fire roaring! The service was great as normal and we just could thank Becs and Olly enough for such a memorable day!
