The Rising Sun, Wimborne

Visited (passing through) on a beuatifully sunny Friday evening. Seemed popular with the locals. Food was tasty and generous portions.
Sat at the outdoor seating/decking area, by the river, hemmed in by buildings a bit, but there is a fabulous weeping willow just up stream.
Shame that gardens have such a high percentage of smokers these days, and being a smallish area you couldn't get away from them.
We arrived at 6.56pm and were told food stopped being served at 7, that customers were served in strict order (3 ahead of us in the queue), and that if we didn't get our order in by 7 it would be too late. Fortuntely another staff member wandered up to help serve, and the queue were only ordering a couple of drinks each. I was left wondering what I would have said if we had missed the 7pm deadline. On the plus side, my husband was still parking the car, and I had no money on me, but he still accepted my order. So overall, a likeable pub, and a 7 rating.
