The Rising Sun - Dover

Visited this time last year after checking on their website that they did food. It said they did but when I got there they said they wasn’t doing food at that current time and they hadn’t got around to updating their website. Back in the area now and checked their website again. Looked like its had a revamp and said that it was open from 2pm and that they served food from 2:30pm. When I got there at 2:40pm it was shut and the sign outside said it wasn’t open until 4pm. So so frustrating. Can’t do the very basics of keeping their website up to date and keeping potential customers informed of when they are open and serving food. Pathetic.

Came as a group of 19. Toni was so accommodating to us all, seated us in the garden and made sure the skittle alley was set up for us. Food was delicious, reasonable prices and my son (who had the mussels) said it was the best he’d ever tasted. A great day, fantastic food and brilliant hosts!

First visit. Match Day. Obviously a busy lunchtime. Staff were very good when the pub was so very lively. Really enjoyed the delicious Sunday pork roast lunch which arrived promptly. Pleasant venue with tables and umbrellas in smallish garden out back. Definitely will make a return visit.

A bit grubby. A free house with just one Fullers ale. One of the menu options was homemade Scotch Egg and an option for the same with chips. We ordered a Scotch Egg and two fish chips as we didn’t trust the look of the food coming out. We asked to get the Scotch Egg first for us to share. The kitchen refused to serve the Scotch Egg first as that would constitute a starter and they don’t do starters. Plus they were out of fish chips. We decided that anywhere who found putting a Scotch Egg on a plate too much to contemplate isn’t a venue for us and we left.

Visited with a large group of families for lunch. Fantastic warm welcome and friendly service and things to do for the kids including bowling alley outside. Really tasty food particularly recommend the moules and the nachos with vibrant hand made salsa and guacamole. Top place.
