Great place for a meal. Eleven of us and every meal was perfect, including the two fussy ones. The chef popped out for a chat with our “gluten free” one. Landlord was very welcoming and all staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend the Rising Sun.
Our 1st visit. Great family meal here tonight on a hot summers eve. Lovely atmosphere & friendly staff. Always dubious when eating out at places with a large group as quite often it comes out wrong or cold, but here the food was really lovely and came out all together. The owner and chef were really kind in adapting a pudding for one person who is Celiac. Definitely recommend a visit here. Though I would book ahead. It does get busy.
I dined at this pub and it was great.
The food was excellent, and I highly recommend trying their delicious Scotch Egg, a true specialty.
The service was friendly and attentive, making the visit even more enjoyable.
The interior was comfortable and inviting.
Brilliant. Good food, well-sized portions, excellent service. We had a lot of fun while enjoying a good meal. Worth the trip from Dover!
Excellent food and service, dont waste your time going up the hill when you have a lovely welcoming place like this.
Phoned to ask if they were doing food and nice lady booked us a table.
On arrival table was waiting ready for us, no waiting. Food was served in good time and was very nice.
We will be back
Went here for our last night of our holiday. Food and desserts were delicious and my kids really liked it too. Even a homemade bowling alley outside. Would definitely visit again
Lovely food and the portions were generous. My only problems was the knives were not sharp enough to cut the meat. However, the meat was lovely and tender. Enjoyed the meal, staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean and tidy.
Wonderful pub, has several vegetarian options such as a delicious Halloumi Burger. Unfortunately they don't normally do take out, but there is plenty of seating in the pub itself, or, for a bit more quiet, in the pub's backyard garden. Dog friendly.
Above and beyond, despite being well booked up, they tried their hardest to fit us in. Two people and a dog 🐕 that's no mean feat.
The food was top-notch, and just perfect, as was the service and staff well done all.
I've popped in here a few times in my visits to Kingsdown. I always find the staff and patrons to be very friendly. Recently we had Sunday Roast there and it was pretty good. Easy to get a reservation too.
This place was a life saver for me. I had just trudged 2 hours in blistering heat from Dover to Deal and I was desperate for refreshment!
The barmaids smile was the most welcome sight I could've imagined at that point and the 2x ice cold orange juices she served me were godsent!
She filled my refillable bottle with beautiful cold water too. It was literally heaven here!
Out of all the pubs in the area this is the one to go to! lovely staff who since the chef was on holiday offered that we ordered takeout and ate it in the pub with their cutlery! so homely and smells amazing! really nice friendly beer garden!! couldn’t recommend enough thank you!!
