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.

Not a bad little pub at all - definitely on the way to being more of a restaurant if the truth be…read moreknown. We were on a trip down to 'Fords of Winsford' to buy a new car and having to build up the strength to battle the 1500 cars on offer, we decided a big fat lunch had to be on the agenda! Think country inn food and you're not far off, with all sorts of pub classics like steak and kidney pudding (which my wife had and was amazing), fish and chips and more. I went for the steakburger which was tasty but that was at the 2nd attempt - the first one that they brought out was stone cold (I'd asked for it medium but this looked like it had come straight out of the fridge and onto the plate. Thankfully the manager was very good and replaced it straightaway, giving us a couple of free soft drinks as an apology. Personally - I don't think this 2nd burger was cooked massively well (but I couldn't be arsed saying anything 2nd time around) and the chef could do with maybe hitting somewhere like Manchester's Filthy Cow burger joint to see how to cook it well but juicy and the pink in the middle... Besides the burger situ and my wife and myself having to eat our meals separately I'm still giving this place a 4 star as it was a great menu, surroundings and has friendly staff.

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!!
