Great place .been wanting to try for a long time and finally did was defo worth the wait . Food top class . Great chef. And great service as well. Will be back and would highly recommend.
We were a party of 8, for a birthday and the evening combined fresh, unfussy but beautifully presented food, with interesting flavours and locally-sourced, high quality ingredients. They can tell you not just how the lamb is cooked and what it is served with, but about the (local) farm it came from.
I had the catch of the day, and it tasted very, very fresh.
There is a wine list has been carefully chosen; everything gives the impression of being carefully chosen.
The desserts were works of art, and we had dessert wine to go with them.
Our party had almost all different choices for each course, but everything was served pretty much together. The atmosphere was lively, but the food was the star.
I'm already planning going again.
I have been to the Rising Sun multiple times for drinks but last week finally we went there for a date night. We had a lovely seating. The service was outstanding. But the highlight was the food. It started with the outstanding parmesan and chorizo bread rolls which were so delicious. We then ordered the scallops for starters - which was fresh, and delicious. For mains, we had the duck and 10-hr lamb. Both were outstanding but we were in love with the lamb. For dessert, we went with the trifle. Each dish was delicious. We had tried multiple times to book a Sunday roast here but for our lack of prior planning, we thought a dinner would be a good idea and we were absolutely right!!
Rated as Truro's best pub/restaurant. It was my first ever visit, and I completely agree!
Fab food and ale in the historic pub with a great ambience.
If you haven't been before, I can recommend the seasonal mussels for a start followed by roast lamb with all the trimmings.
Excellent food quality and generous portions for the money too.
I will be back!

Surprisingly for a local pub they offer a fine dine , with a delicious menu .
Tiny garden 🪴 however well and efficient layout with a well needed heaters .
The pub itself it’s a low ceiling beams , gloomy tradition type rooms , relatively small. Fine wines, more then an usual offering number of two . Beverage of a few ales ( not local , unfortunately)and Italian draft beer 🍺.
We had a starter of oysters 🦪 made an unusual way( see pictures) tasty 👅 though. Cheesy chips 🍟 one of favourite well prepared. Will definitely pay a visit again. 😉🙏😊
Our first visit to the Rising Sun and a special occasion to celebrate our anniversary. Wow! It was stunning. The best meal we’d had for a very long time. Service outstanding. Food inventive and mouth watering. Atmosphere was great. Will definitely be back. The extra touches the staff did to mark our anniversary definitely went above and beyond. Thank you to all the team at The Rising Sun.
An excellent Sunday Lunch , the tenderest slow cooked pork and lamb , six different fresh veg ( some a little al-dente ), Cauliflower with separate cheese sauce was good, crispy Yorkshire Pud ( not charged but have to ask ), good roasties . Loved the home made ice cream as well. Chose the Rising Sun for its consistently high reviews and wasn’t disappointed.
This is one of our favourite places to eat. The staff are so lovely and relaxed, the food is probably the best in Truro and it's always a great atmosphere. The only tiny niggle, this time the music was a bit loud for us.
Other than that, a must visit pub/restaurant. 😋😋😋😋😋
A lovely interior and atmosphere and absolutely superb (if pricey) food.
I had some stonking homemade bread, followed by a scallops-based starter, a loin of beef main course and a chocolate fondant for pudding. Normally I can't manage three courses but the portion sizes are perfect (and I hadn't eaten all day).
ate here a year ago and last night. Standard is still high, much better than standard pub food. Friendly and welcoming. Decent wine and ales too, which is why I can't remember what it all cost.
Amazing Sunday lunch. The lamb was perfect as was the spinach wellington.
Eat in the garden on a mild October day. Survive was friendly and make a great meal all the better for it.
Amazing roast lamb lunch + a brownie, malt milk ice-cream with pouring cream ( do you really need it, um, maybe indulge yourself 🫣) was the best pud I've tasted in an age! Service was slightly but it was Sunday best enjoy it all. ❤️
