I used to call into this pub on my way back to college after home visits - between 1971 and 1974!…read moreIt has been updated a few times, but they've never lost the friendliness inherent in the pub. It's nice to know that it is still doing the quality meals it has always been known for as I haven't been for a couple of years now. This pub was originally a stop for us as it has a decent carpark and is difficult to miss on your way through Tarporley. It was a lucky find, as, at the time, it was one of the few friendly pubs in the area (to students that is!). I would recommend the Rising Sun to anybody, without reservation, but - they need to improve the choice of real ales a little.

Went here with my Mum recently. The place had been recommended by some of her friends recently and…read moreI would recommend place too. Didn't realise until afterwards, but looking at their Instagram it only opened about 3 months ago. We didn't book a table and lucky to get a table as all the empty tables we saw when we walked in were all reserved. They sat us on a table for 6 which was free. Its a nice interior to the building, sort of Northern Quarter (Manchester) in feel with the vintage (I think called Edison) lightbulbs. The bathroom is nicely decorated with nice tiles etc - see my photos. The waitress suggested 2-3 tapas dishes per person. We ordered 7 in total. The menu is split into different sections of: Little bits Little plates Little sides Little lunch We ordered from the Little bits and Little plates section and they were fairly similar in size. We had the Artisan bread and the Crispy Squid from the Little bits section. From the Little Plates we got the: Chicken kiev Tempura cod cheeks Lamb rump Crispy Belly Pork - we ordered 2 of these and good job! All the dishes were really good. Some delicious. In particular the cod cheeks and belly pork. The lamb was tasty and tender. The only thing which was not at least really good was the chicken kiev - it was OK, just not really good. So I would recommend coming here if you are ever in the area. Or even not! Depending on time/day - you may want to book.

Picturesque Cheshire pub just outside Eaton village on a bad bend on the A49, a popular stop for…read morethe traveling trade. It's a cracking looking building, and there is a big shire horse connection - the inside is decorated with hundreds of photos and rosettes, and there is a shire horse centre nextdoor. It's got an olde-world feeling to it - not in a 17th century way, but it looks like not much has changed for about 30 years inside. Which is nice. Sadly, I'm only going to give it 3 stars. I had a decided average ploughmans lunch here yesterday, which at 9.95 was super-expensive. For that sort of money, it would have to right, and it wasn't all there. The ham was good, but there wasn't much of it. The cheese was pretty standard mild supermarket fayre, and the salad wasn't up to much either. Robinsons is on tap, but again my first pint of bitter in about 4 weeks was a touch on the ropey side. Worth a look, but don't order the ploughmans. I should have had the gammon.

This place has the potential to be truly amazing, based primarily on its location. Situated right…read morealong the Shropshire Union Canal, the outdoor seating provides an excellent spot to sit and enjoy the sunshine while watching the canal boats cruise by. On top of this, visitors have a direct view of Peckforton Castle up on the hillside. The downside to this pub is a combination of poor service and low-quality food. The menu gives the impression that they raided the local grocery store and put it all on the menu. When asking about the day's dessert options, you'll be overloaded with about 15 different cakes and then ice cream, of which they only carry Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry. No idea whether it could be local, such as from Cheshire Farms, or just some generic brand. I have been here on two occasions, both were beautiful days and a great chance to sit outdoors along the canal. However I have been underwhelmed by the service. If this place made an effort (landscaping, service and food-wise), they could be an excellent place for lunch or dinner, or even a drink.

Not good considering most of the custom was hard working class builders ,farmers and tough country people, Anyhow I booked my farming family and friends in for Christmas dinner promised only good things by the staff beforehand , How wrong was I !!!! I'd would of gone if there was anywhere else open to eat at on christmas day. The starter was vile all the main course was dry or burnt ,didnt eat pudding . Will not be eating or recommending this pub at all!!
