Rising Sun Inn, Norwich

We visited the Rising Sun three times on our annual holiday to Wroxham and it is still one of our favourites. We were interested to see what we would find as I had seen on the Internet that it had been shut for a refurbishment. Our first visit was late on a Wednesday afternoon and it was quiet inside. While I was taking the photos, the landlord had a chat with me about what has happened since he bought the pub in October 2011. The whole of the inside has been refurbished. There is tiled flooring throughout, a complete redecoration and all new furniture. Most importantly, the toilets have been renewed which is good to see as they were in need of it. The inside feels more like a town centre wine bar or bistro than a riverside pub on the edge of a large village in the country, but it is a nice place to be in and has been done to a high standard. The landlord confirmed that it had cost a lot. Greene King IPA and Woodforde’s Wherry were available at £3.00, Old Speckled Hen at £3.40 and Abbott Ale at £3.60 which are very good prices. We do not normally eat in pubs, but we did here on our last evening. My wife had dressed crab salad and I had a burger and chips. Both were good and at £15.00 for the two, well priced. Food is served 12:00 - 3:00 and 6:00 - 9:00, and all day at the weekend. The pub is now better than ever, pay it a visit.
