What Allan Marco Oliveira da Silva likes about The Rising Sun:
A group of Motorcyclists booked for lunch. everyone enjoyed the food. My bacon, cranberry cheese pannini, served with coleslaw, and garnish was really tasty. Washed down with a ginger beer and glass of water. The service was first class, making us feel at home, in a separate area just for us. Thanks everyone for a great lunch, we will be back.
