Welcome to The Rising Sun, a fun, family and dog friendly pub on New London Road.
Located at the top of New London Road and Moulsham Street, we’re your ultimate family and dog-friendly local. Whether you’re stopping by for a cold beer, a signature cocktail, or a glass of fine wine, we’ve got something to lift everyone’s spirits - including free treats on the bar for your four-legged best friends and kids play area.
Step inside for an great atmosphere with Sky Sports and TNT, lively quiz nights, and buzzing evenings, or slip out back to discover our hidden secret beer garden - the perfect spot for sunny afternoon drinks.
Hungry? Our kitchen serves up incredible pub classics alongside delicious South African specialties (and yes, we’re huge Springbok fans, so expect an unbeatable atmosphere on match days! 🇿🇦).
Bringing the little ones? Kids are always welcome with their very own menu (we just ask that they're supervised and head home by 8 PM).
Planning a party? From milestone celebrations to weekday private hire and wakes, we offer flexible food and drink packages. Drop us an email to chat about your event!
Note on parking: While space at the pub is limited, plenty of street parking is available just around the corner on Moulsham Street.
