I don't think the photos online do this little pub justice. The views from the garden across the Tamar valley are fabulous and inside is the quintessential olde world pub. We sat outside as it was a lovely summer's day but I imagine it's a cosy place to sit by the fire in the winter. Didn't eat so can't comment on food but good selection of beers, had a nice pint of Legend and another of Sea Fury. If you happen to arrive by train beware the ENORMOUS, almost-vertical Stony Lane to get back to the station. You'll certainly feel it in your calves!
Visiting on the ale trail, went back with the family. Great pub! With the open fire for winter and plenty of stable outdoor seating and cover for the summer (with a view) - a place I'd highly recommend to visit. For lunch, dinner or an ale session! Welcoming attentive staff to top it all off.
We were visiting Cornwall to deliver our son to a friend's wedding, with no other way for him to get there during a rail strike. It was a very long, wearisome journey - to and fro from Wiltshire. A comfortable watering hole was desperately needed!
Thank heavens for google maps, which took us to the Rising Sun. It's clearly a pub that caters to locals, but we were made welcome by everybody there. It's one of those places that is quirky, traditional, and full of character, and we absolutely loved it.
The location is hidden away down narrow lanes, but it really is worth searching out. The welcome is warm, and the food and drink are very good. I would return without hesitation....
Popped in here after ringing the bells at St Andrews church. A very welcoming pub. Great landlady and locals. Perfect selection of real ales especially Sea Fury and Legend. First time I’ve seen them on tap at the same time in any pub. Made a great end to a good night
We went there the other night as on holiday, what a lovely little pub, in good beer guide, so wasn’t surprised the beer was excellent, staff really friendly, good pub atmosphere, basic pub food, would totally recommend!
We headed straight to The Rising Sun for some real local ales (The Legend) recommended by a local was indeed great. The Rising Sun is a 17th century pub with Very friendly staff and in addition to indoor seating there are outdoor blend-into-nature seating options with clean toilets too. Free 🐕 gy beer too for your pets. Car park available. There are some short walking options available taking you to the river in the valley.
Over a quarter of a mile outside Gunnislake on Calstock Road, this is in a very pastoral setting. Some of the menu choices were not available, and I went for the chicken curry. Service was prompt and the curry very good. Washed down with a couple of pints of Jail Ale. If you are using the train as I did, beware, nearby Stony Lane (nicely resurfaced) is very steep, and I mean steep. Give yourself plenty of time for a few 'breathers' on the way up!
Called in today looking for a Sunday Roast and was not disappointed. Great to have local Topside of Beef and lots of vegetables and a big gravy boat and even a pot of cheese sauce!
Friendly, helpful staff in a wonderful, proper pub. Will be back again to this place, as it's full of character.
Wow,when you walk through the door you know you're stepping back in time. Low beams,nice cosy areas and it's even candlelit! Great staff and food too.
Awesome Sunday Roast, beef, roast potatoes & vegetables cooked to perfection & the red cabbage was to die for.. definitely reccomend
