The Rising Sun Inn - Carte

Open on Monday for a start! Hadn't been for a long time and pleasantly surprised by large portion sizes (fish chips and faggots). Service was also good and friendly. Definitely worth a visit as nearer to a traditional Forest pub than the others nearby.

Had a roast pork lunch. The meat was plentiful and melted in your mouth, the veg and roast potatoes were equally as tasty. The young staff were very polite and friendly. Couldn't fault anything. All this whilst being entertained by a great free covers band in the outside marquee.

The choice of food regarding you go for steak on scampi and chips was absolutely lovely. Proper local place too and everyone were very friendly. Staff very modest when we complimented their food. Sat outside which is great even if raining massive marquis/teepee thing. Kids had a swing and playground, pet friendly. Lovely evening meal Voir le carte

Stopped by on midweek lunch time recently while cycling in the forest. Nice rear garden with a lily pond , and ample seating in the sun or under a large tented roof. Are hot sandwiches , cheese and pickle, Brie and cranberry. Both were good. Space inside for hot meals. Disappointingly, no Guinness….but that’s fairly common in the new forest area.

Great pub, dog friendly, plenty of outdoor seating with lovely forest views. We are not foresters, but locals. What I like about this pub, is that you are greeted like friends. Local, or tourist. It just has a nice vibe. Plenty of live music on Sunday afternoons, with brass bands playing Sunday evening. Rattler cider on draft is really good. Come here regularly.

Visited last weekend while camping in Parkend. It was a lovely day so we sat in the garden and ordered food. It arrived quickly and looked impressive. Large Yorkshire puddings, a good quantity of sliced meats and separate dishes of vegetables and gravy. It didn’t disappoint. Everything well cooked, meat tender, roast potatoes and parsnips crisp and vegetables cooked perfectly. Very enjoyable experience, would definitely return. Voir le carte

Visited for an evening meal and was quickly found a table as it was not too busy. The homemade food was delicious but unfortunately due to a bit of a mix up with the staff, the soup starter and main meal were both delivered at the same time ! This was quite quickly rectified and I had an apology. Before turning up for a meal I would recommend pre-booking a table as they do get busy. If you just turn up you are quite likely to be disappointed. The surrounding area is very pretty.

Went for lunch with my friend Saturday 24th June 2023 .. I ordered lasagne .. when it came it looked like a square lasagne in the middle of a dish of gravy/ sauce .. took a mouthful and it was cold in the middle. I took it back and they must of reheated anyway as I’m not one to complain I did eat some of it .. last night today feeling really poorly sick, stomach cramps diarrhoea. I haven’t eaten anything since that food because of bad stomach.. so must of been that .. would not recommend :

Staying nearby so decided to visit this pub for a late afternoon dinner. Children’s play area outside and little wooded area which the kids enjoyed. Easy to park, but couldn’t find the entrance, think the car park is at the back and has to go up some steps and through a gate to find the front door. Nobody welcomed us so I went and found some menus. We found a table outside and then went back in to order drinks and food. Food came quickly. I had sweet potato and butternut squash curry with chips and rice. Chips were ok, but didn’t taste fresh, nobody else liked them. Curry had a nice taste, but skin was left on the butternut squash, which ruined it. Bacon and Brie baguette was nice. Kids Mac... Voir le carte
