The Rising Sun

Outstanding.This was our fourth trip to The Rising Sun. We love it and today we enjoyed the family lunch of dreams!Such friendly service, delicious food, a magnificent view in a country setting and great attention to detail, allowing our severely allergic family members to enjoy a relaxed dining experience. The children ate very well and enjoyed the play area so much that they didn’t want to leave. Looking forward to booking another meal soon. Thank you to the team for a great afternoon.

A Lackluster Experience at Rising Sun Restaurant in LacockMy recent dining experience at the Rising Sun Restaurant in Lacock unfortunately fell short of expectations. Despite a promising start with a clean and inviting atmosphere and friendly staff, the culinary offerings failed to match the impressive views and left much to be desired.To begin on a positive note, the Rising Sun Restaurant boasted a clean and well-facilitated environment. The staff, although a bit stressed, greeted us warmly and allowed us to choose our seating on the charming garden terrace. The views from there were truly spectacular, and the menu appeared enticing, leading us to have high hopes for the meal ahead.Regrettably, the food at Rising Sun Restaurant did not live up to the breathtaking views. Our group ordered a variety of dishes, including a prawn salad that lacked flavour, pork belly bites that arrived lukewarm, an asparagus and goat cheese dish that was passable, a Thai curry with next to no sauce and oversized tasteless broccoli florets dominating the plate, and an incredibly bland chicken burger that was surprisingly lacking in seasoning or any discernible flavor.Our dissatisfaction with the meal reached a point where we left most of our food uneaten and opted to cook our own meal at home instead. This decision speaks volumes about the overall disappointment we experienced with the taste, quality, and execution of the dishes we ordered.In conclusion, my experience at the Rising Sun Restaurant in Lacock was far from satisfying. Despite the initial positive impression created by the clean ambiance and friendly staff, the lackluster and flavorless food ultimately overshadowed these factors. It is my hope that the restaurant takes note of these shortcomings and makes necessary improvements, the small refinements to the food to match the great sounding menu would easily elevate the dining experience and ensure that future patrons can enjoy both the stunning views and the culinary delights they anticipate.

Excellent locationFood was nice, but very expensive for a pub.The place looks and feels a bit tired and could do with a clean up and freshen up.Can't beat the views though.Staff was lovely.

Great view, friendly staff, but ultimately underwhelming, tasteless, poorly prepared, overpriced food. Avoid the burger and Welsh rarebit - our experience. Would go back for a drink, maybe, but for eating there is much better within 5 miles.

Beautiful location with stunning views of Wiltshire. There are pods you can dine in outside with heaters if it gets chilly.We went here for Sunday lunch.The staff were waiting for us at the door and greeted us by our names. I was really touched by that.The staff were very professional and attentive. The food was very good. I really liked that they served it all on a wooden board so you could help yourself.There is a good sized carpark and it’s dog friendly.Definitely worth a visit if you are in the areaand visiting beautiful Lacock.

(bear with me)Samuel Pepys described the pub as the heart of England". This pub lives up to that idea.Unfortunately most pubs desecrate this sentiment and spit on the magical idea of a pub. Unfriendly

Beautiful views from the garden, the older tables were a bit tired and tatty. We ordered snacks which were OK, good soup, chips tasty but small portion and to save dishes the last snack was on the same plate as the chips! Good but not brilliant.

Delicious meal recently up at the Rising Sun in Lacock.Neil & the team are professional and friendly, the catered to our every need.The food was delicious and well presented.The little play are is perfect for the children to enjoy and the view over Lacock & the local area is just beautiful!

Came here for a birthday meal and it was lovely, we had a dining pod that had an electric heater and lights. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding, friendly, welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely be going back.
