user reviews of the Rising Sun, Coltishall

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

You'd be hard pressed to find a better situation for a pub and almost everyone was outside enjoying the sun and the views of the Bure when we went last Thursday. Doom Bar, Lacons Encore, Adnams Lighthouse and Woodforde's Reedlighter were the 4 cask ales on sale (my Reedlighter was good enough).

Went to the Rising Sun for an evening meal during recent tour of the Broads. Whilst the food and drink were absolutely fine, the attitude of the bar and waiting staff left a lot to be desired. Made the mistake of politely correcting the barman when he served up the wrong drink and from then on he had a very rude, condescending attitude towards myself and our party of four, even moaning at us to make sure we got our table number correct implying that the mistake wasn't theirs. The staff were clearly seen to gossip and joke about customers in front of them in a very 'bitchy' manner. It's a shame as would have been a very pleasant evening otherwise.

Potentially the best sited pub on the broads. Good value food and quick friendly service are ruined by the surly rude moron behind the bar, I shan't go back again.

Not the best pub in the world, but is certainly unpretentious compared with the Kings Head nearby. You get what you pay for and the pub claims nothing else. Good honest food and well-kept beer for reasonable prices.
Streets ahead of its neighbour!

I work in London and am used to overpriced beverages, sadly I've found another pub that gladly overcharges for mediocre beers and wine.
I wasn't the only one complaining about the prices as I overheard numerous customers remarking on the charges, not just for drinks, but also for food.
Only stayed for one drink as I didn't have any more money.

Used to visit this pub after Pike fishing on the nearby Coltishall common. Great for a warming winter pint, accompanied by the excellent sound of jets from the nearby base (now sadly gone). I have great memories of this place.

A quiet hideaway for the winter months, but lively and buzzing during the long summer days.
Definitely worth a visit.
Lovely views over the river from the dining area.
Also outside riverside bench tables for nice weather.
Good quality pub grub.
Bring a big appetite, the portions are plentiful.
The hot desserts are pudding heaven.
Sunday carvery for under �7.
Moorings available for boats 50ft from the pub. Large car-park.
Live music once a month.
