The Rising Sun Knapp

The Rising Sun, owned by Barry and Sarnia McGoun and managed by chef Olly Jackson and his charming wife, Rebecca, is one of the loveliest traditional pubs I've ever had the pleasure of visiting in England (the Highlands of Scotland where I live doesn't have pubs as such, just bars). This country pub with its 600-year history was completely and tastefully refurbished after it was purchased by the couple, who live next door. The Rising Sun retains much of its Elizabethan charm and features. As the owners point out, although a food-led pub, it's preserved as the village local. Drinkers are most welcome, for a night out with chums, popping in for myriad beverages and freshly baked pastries. Dogs...

By far the best meal we have had in a very long time. Staff were warm and welcoming as was the ambience and the food. We'll worth the drive into the sticks to find it and can't wait to go again.

I had the most amazing meal in a laid-back and welcoming environment. I was disappointed to hear that this was one of the final services before closing for a period of time.
