| This is the local of a couple of friends of mine, so I have visited it many times over the years. It has always been a friendly pub and remains so to this day. I used to call it "the dirtiest pub in the world" but since Sean & Donna took over a couple of years ago they have worked wonders refurbishing the pub inside and out. The gents are a delight although I do miss the horseshoe bar and I'm not too sure about the tall tables! The beer garden at the rear is a real oasis with a covered smoking terrace, there's plenty of screens for sports, pool and darts teams, it's a good local of the old school. flashharry1965 - 22 May 2009 11:15 |
| I have recently moved back to the area after 2 yrs working away, noticed the amazing change to the front of the pub which made me curious as to what it was like inside. Well I was gobsmacked, it was like walking into a completely different pub. Its been refurbed beyond recognition, Its fantastic, clean, warm and welcoming. The ladie's toilets are fantastic, very well decorated and kept. The staff and customers are very friendly as are the new owners. My freinds and I will definately be using the rising sun on a regular basis, great pub Ladybird.118 - 2 Dec 2008 16:47 |
| Recently heavily re-furbished and now looks a bit less traditional than before. Its a pity they've lost the horseshoe bar. Though the new clear glass windows mean that you can see in from the street which seems to help quite a lot. And they still have the big garden out the back of course. The London Pride is decent enough and a welcome change in a bit of a real ale desert (not so sure about their brief flirtation with Speckled Hen) Still very much a local and all the better for it. One of a dying breed in London. bob_brown - 8 Jun 2008 18:43 |
| This is a traditional local pub. It had a reputation for late night lock-ins (but actually always had a late license) and would loock the doors after 11.00. It changed management last year and is improving (it was a bit of a dump) so visit and encouage it!.Its been partially refurbed (May08). The staff are very competent and friendly. It keeps London Pride very well and has just added Speckled Hen. Prices are reasonable (£2.70-£2.90 pint). Big on darts and pool and, for those who smoke, it has an excellent outside paio/garden area. Often fee food on offer from pool/darts tournament wihich the staff invite customers to take. Clientele are quite mixed - worth popping in for a pint if you're passing - plans to do food menu soon. realbeernow - 6 Jun 2008 14:44 |
| I think this pub has been taken over recently. The beer has come down a little in price, about 20p a pint but it makes a difference. I was in here on a big darts night the other week and then went back at the weekend. I was impressed by how friendly and mixed the staff and punters were. The back terrace and patio were full of happy smokers and the pride was pretty well kept. I'd recommend it if you like a proper pub. crampsfan - 12 Feb 2008 15:24 |
