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!!

Nice pub, good quiz on a Thursday night - been going on and off for 3 years. Badger ale is good. Looks small from the outside but is usually plenty big enough except on a quiz night when you need to get there a little early if you want a seat.
Has shown a consistent standard over the last few years and I would recommend it for a friendly beer.

Nice enough layout, liked the booths for sitting and eating/drinking in. Not a great choice of ales/lagers but could live with that. Biggest problem at the Duke is the food. Nice selection on the menu but when the food arrived, it was very salty and we felt a bit sore with the price we paid for that standard of meal. Very limited snacks menu. Friendly service but left early after blowing more money than we initially wanted to on a very poor quality meal.

St Margarets Tavern, St Margarets
Plenty of room, some nice seats near the fireplace. Food/drink is overpriced, service isn't always pleasant. It has the feel of a pub that is ripping you off.
