I went to the Rising Sun last night & I must say I was pleasantly surprised!!
Looks a bit shabby from the street but more than makes up for it with good beer & a warm welcome! well worth a visit!
Lets hope when Youngs "do" the place up, this time they will actually think a bit & not make it a carbon copy of all the other pubs!!

Unusual pub, sort of like a blast into an episode of Pheonix Nights. Haven't seen it packed unless there is a concert in Marble Hill park across the road and then a ton of very drunk people arrive to sing karaoke.
Sunday roasts are popular. I actually quite like the rising sun, it's one of the few non gastro pubs left in the area. Once The Crown closed it's doors on being a nice normal pub, it became our next port of call. One suggestion, the whole area is really missing a pool table --please!!! We are sick of gastro pubs!!

Im sorry to hear the Jazz night is stopping on a Thursday. It will be a sad loss to the local community as they really managed it well. Please dont tell me the comedy night at the Turks Head is to cancel.

Again, I am a local to the area.

This pub has a northern charm much like taverns I used to visit in the north of England.

The north of England 'pub' is loosing it's charm. I believe pubs like the Rising Sun will be more like my much loved warm, toasty, old school pubs, than the developing country up north. Not that the north's development is improving, just changing, what ever it I'm not happy and that's why I'm here.

Anywho, a lot goes on this pub and I believe there are loyal customers here. They have developed are really interesting set up of gigs and bands. Which, you would normally only see the likes of in Camden or Shoreditch or somewhere bloody ages away.

Unfortunately for this 'style' of pub people in St Margaret's don't want oldy worldy right now.

This may because there a many young families/ parents/ young adults here and they simply don't have time for an old school pub. They need high flying, bright, 'popular' pubs that make them feel in touch with the movement of the young people.

They love expensive cheap, second hand, mildy ruffled, arm chairs with modern art and a menu written on a black board. How gastro. How now.

Well the Rising sun has arm chairs that are great.

In regard to the food. I have not got round to trying a Sunday lunch yet, so it would be unfair to comment.

The alcohol is great. They have plenty and serve you at the table. Nice one!

Don't be put off if you go and it's quiet. Be clever and find out when a 'night' is on, and go then. Similar to a quiz night. You wouldn't go the night after, when everyone has been. Or maybe you would if you wanted peace.

Whatever, don't skit it until you tried it.

Sorry if my grammar and writing language is bad. I am not gifted with a pen (keyboard).

Nice beer garden, charmingly situated infront of the park, shame theres a big road in the way and everything is concrete. Went inside for a lager, thought I had gone blind from thirst, couldn't see my own feet, smelt like my grans gin soaked living room and was just as exciting. Something reminiscent of the Mary Celeste, nobody around, then out of no where an eerie pale figure slid behind the bar, A GHOST! nah, that really would have been too exciting. In actual fact it was an lady who funnily enough did bear a startling resemblance to my gran. thats what i call excitement, well worth a visit, if you look like your in pain when you walk and enjoy the odd game of bridge with a large sherry.
