The Rising Sun - Chippenham

The view and garden from this pub is great, but we found the food to not be worth the money. The quality was great but not the quantity. We had a table booked for 6pm, once sat down we were told there was only beef left, they’ve had a busy day, fair enough but they should make sure there’s enough roasts for bookings. There was also no cauliflower cheese or stuffing available. The food came and the presentation was great, but for £25 i think you should get more than one carrot!

We visited the newly refurbished and re-opened Rising Sun recently for lunch. We were very well looked after by the very welcoming staff and enjoyed and really good lunch. It was good to see that the inside las lost none of its charm and that there are stools at the bar so you can just sit and enjoy a pint!
We've put the rising sun back on our list of pubs to visit regularly, for food or just drinks.

We recently visited The Rising Sun in Lacock to celebrate my mother’s birthday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our group of 14 was seated in the conservatory, which offered stunning views of the valley, making the meal even more special.

I opted for the 9oz sirloin steak, cooked to perfection, and paired with hand-cut chips, garlic bread, and a rich peppercorn butter. The main was hearty and delicious. For dessert, I had a syrup sponge, which came with both custard and a scoop of Lacock vanilla ice cream, making it a delightful treat. The mix of warm syrupy sponge and creamy ice cream was divine. To finish, a well-brewed latte provided the perfect end to the meal.

The service was impeccable. Despite our large party, the staff were attentive, friendly, and made our visit feel seamless. The setting of the conservatory, with its beautiful view, added a peaceful and elegant touch to the event.

All in all, it was an outstanding experience, and I would highly recommend The Rising Sun for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion. The combination of superb food, stunning surroundings, and excellent service made my mother’s birthday meal truly memorable.

We stayed a night at the apartment above the pub in December 24 . We could not sleep at all due to awful smell of massive outside bins belonging to the pub. The sofa bed in the front room isn’t suitable for one person let alone for 2! There was no coffee machine despite it being included in the amenities list . There was no water provided for making tea or coffee anyway . The staff turned the radio on full volume in the morning at 8.30 ! The owner doesn’t like constructive feedback so he just goes on attack mode and calls you awful customer without giving a reason as to why you are awful ! It is a shame as the location is great and beautiful but that is the only good point about this place . We got up and left as quickly as we could to get some breakfast as they don’t provide breakfast either .

A lovely pub with nice views
We were seated in the lodge
The lighting was dull so had trouble reading the menu
It was also very hot
The menu was good and the food was very good.
Next time I will sit inside the pub

A great place for a family meal. Great staff, great service, and good food. The only downside for me was that the conservatory we were in, with terrific views, was extremely cold. This wasn't helped when staff kept leaving a door open. Otherwise, it's 9a top rating. I will visit again, but in summer!
