Description

Nestled by the canal, Rising Sun boasts an inviting ambiance and friendly staff. While the location enchants with picturesque views and a cozy beer garden, the culinary offerings can disappoint, particularly the underwhelming ham and cheese platter. Patrons celebrate the excellent “riser bitter” and a lively atmosphere, though reports of overworked staff and a dysfunctional management dynamic linger. Despite these concerns, visitors are drawn back for the warmth, charm, and community spirit of this local gem. For a delightful drink amid charming surroundings, Rising Sun remains a noteworthy stop along Berko's canal-side pubs.

I recently visited the Rising Sun, which is situated along a series of larger pubs by the canal. It had great reviews and a lovely appearance, so I was looking forward to my experience. However, the ham and cheese platter we ordered left much to be desired. We were informed that one of the apples was missing and that more cheese would be brought out. Unfortunately, what we received was disappointing: a small amount of dried-out blue cheese, two cheap slices of ham, four tiny pickles, and a small baguette that tasted more like something from a supermarket. For £9, it was truly underwhelming and not at all like the appetizing photos we had seen in the gallery. After finishing our meal, we noticed two other pubs just 20 meters down the canal that appeared to offer much better dining options.

The restaurant features a lovely ambiance with beautiful people and a great location. They have an impressive selection of beers. Additionally, their delicious flower and nachos make for a perfect lunch break by the canal.

Great pub with a lively atmosphere and enthusiastic staff. We had a wonderful time enjoying the place on a warm summer evening during their beer festival. We sampled all 15 local ales on offer and were very pleased. Highly recommended!
