The reviews looked great so when on holiday we decided to visit the rising sun. When ringing up to book a table when we mentioned a high chair we were told the establishment didn't welcome children - only quiet children and if he made too much noise we may have to move! I find this attitude absolutely disgusting in this... More

Dined here for lunch on My Day with my children. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was only a quick lunch so we just had main courses and had three different burgers. Very fresh, very tasty and really enjoyed it. As it was sunny, we sat the rear garden pretending it was hot but it was a bit too... More

I visited this pub/restaurant early evening last Saturday and found a warm and welcoming pub with friendly and efficient staff. Four of us had a meal prior to visiting the theatre in Poole. We had pre-ordered our food to save time.The menu is varied and well priced. Portions are a good size. One of our party had ordered the liver... More

Staying away on business alone isn't much fun but finding this place definitely cheered me up. The chicken and mushroom pie was totally delicious and packed full of filling. I will definitely be back, hopefully with the wife, so we can make a night of it.

Lovely restaurant, candlelit with interesting decor which gives the place a lot of character! Also has lovely outdoor seating area with music. Would highly recommend and would definitely come again. Food and staff both excellent! Every member of staff we came across were lovely, friendly, smiley and chatty. A very enjoyable evening.

Had a great evening out with friends to celebrate a special day. Thought the atmosphere was vibrant and the staff friendly (Now playing Golf with one!) Food was better than I expected with me wanting to try others dishes. I've noted the comment regarding children and whilst a little surprised with the rule being applied at lunchtime I understand a... More
