The Rising Sun, Hampton Hill

Nothing curious about me registering to make a comment about a pub - after all, I AM ENTITLED TO MY OPINION!! Unfortunately I haven't got time to spend reviewing pubs all day, or drinking in them every day for that matter.
I certainly would pay more to drink and eat in a place like the Rising Sun rather than drink in a Weatherspoons (you obviously didnt detect my sarcastic tone). Who would want to pay �2.99 for a crappy dinner and a watered down pint??? The quality is hardly the same! If you drink and eat in the local area you would know that this is not the most expensive place to do either....mind you I don't see any other pubs in the vicinity that you have reviewed......
You are quite right we are all entitled to our opinions, your opinion is just different to mine. I do look forward to hearing your reviews though when the Bloated Mallard opens on the High St in August.

I'm not sure I would agree with the last comment posted. This pub has changed dramatically, an improvement in my opinion, from what it used to be, including the calibre of its customers. Who wants loud mouthed drunken idiots and fights at the end of a friday night when you just want a fun night out.
Most people will know that if you eat in the local area, the food in this pub is not overpriced and in my opinion is definately value for money and has always been very good when I have eaten there. The staff that work in the pub are excellent and always make you feel welcome, and when it is quiet (as a lot of pubs are during the day) the bar staff take the time to talk to you - a bonus when visiting on your own.
Judging by the popular quiz night and new curry night plus the local sports teams that have started drinking there I would hardly say that this pub is going down hill.
Of course this website is all about people giving their opinions however I get the feeling from what was said that the last comment may have been from a person with a vendetta. (If you want cheap grub/drink you go to your local Wetherspoons........... they are always good for atmosphere!)
The only way you will know if this pub is any good or not is if you try it out for yourself!
