The Rising Sun, Stanwell

Because of the customers I have always loved this pub, it is friendly, trouble free, one of the cheapest pubs in the area and as Trigger123 said has the best, warmest smoking area. After years of Kay and Dave 'ownership' it has recently been taken over by a new family. Tom and Nicky are a cheerful, happy couple who obviously love what they do. Since they arrived the pub is cleaner, happier and best of all food driven (one of the things that had let it down badly). It was a surprise to discover that the kitchen has an oven as before everything had been microwaved or deep fat fried in dirty oil. Now it is freshly made, has a huge choice, generous portions and very reasonably priced. As they are still new I won�t be too gushy but if it keeps going the way it is I�ll never have to turn my oven on again!
