We have decided to come to The Rising Sun for lunch as it has nice reviews and we can say the same. It is situated in the New Forest by itself with a large car park. The building is huge and pretty as the outside space with a space for the children to play and different ambience where to eat. Inside it is a formal and an informal room, the restaurant or the pub and outside there are different levels and terraced floors with tables and chairs. You can choose to be by the shade, under a tree or anywhere about. The food is ordered at the till and they promptly serve the food. There are lots of waitresses and the service is very good. We ordered a Sunday roast and it was very nice. We really enjoyed it. Fresh vegetables and no frying food. The portion was good and the flavour excellent. We also ordered a starter of pate which came with just one slice of bread and I think for the price, one more slice would be better. We just had coke to drink, it was a large glass served with ice. A very relaxing place full of people but everyone was enjoying their time there.

We had a lovely Bank Holiday afternoon at The Rising Sun. The welcome was friendly and the service was great, a special mention to Sally, who looked after us! They have three areas that you can sit, the restaurant and have table service, or the lovely garden with large playground or in the bar area. If you choose the garden or bar you need to order your food at the bar, the restaurant is table service. There is also an opportunity to have pizzas cooked from their outside pizza oven! The menu was good. I only gave four stars for food as we thought the burger was a little over priced! As you see from my previous posts my son does like his burgers! The fish & scampi were delicious 😋

They have invested in a brilliant allergy menu showing all ingredients. I’ve not had a meal there I’ve not enjoyed. The team are family friendly and patient making this a lovely place to catch up with our loved ones confident that any age group is going to feel welcome. The play area is awesome fun and perfect for a shooting game with Nannies!

Really nice food we had the chop and chips. Service was slow but worth the wait. Sat outside in the sun with nice quiet music . There's a play area for the children. Toilets were nice and clean. Plenty of outside seating.
