AMAZING!!! As far as I remember this place has won pub food…read moreof the year ever year since Ive lived in the area. Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.

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.

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.

Extremely friendly staff and Little Budworth (local village) folk. Real cask ales. What more could you ask from a traditional English country pub? I used to work in Chester a while back and was well aware of this hidden gem nestled in the picturesque Cheshire countryside. It was great to return last week whilst playing cricket at the adjacent Oulton Park cricket club. Only about half an hour away from Manchester this is a perfect spot to come for some lunch/dinner on your way back from Chester. Alternatively if you're a a petrol head like me, with Oulton park racing circuit just around the corner it can also act as a perfect pitstop on your way back after a few laps. Have yet to try the food but won't be long until that's rectified because the menu looks sensational. Highlights from it include the following. Pizza; 'The special one' (Goat's cheese, caramelised onions, rocket). Burger; 'The special one' (Cheese, beer soaked onions, gerkins, garlic mayo, special sauce, lettuce tomato relish) A special mention also for the Artisanal French cured meat platter (Yes that's as posh as it sounds) A selection of house charcuterie and paté from La Boucherie Candotto in South West France. In terms of drinks, not being a massive beer fan the only thing that stood out from the cocktail menu was 'The Egerton Refresher'. With Gin, home made marmalade, Mint, Elderflower and Pressed Apple Juice it looks right up my street.

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.
