Rising Sun Inn, Norwich

We visited this pub a couple of times on our annual holiday in Wroxham. It is still a nice place to be although it seems to attract customers, (normally elderly,) who are ignorant and think they have to be served first, and then get irate when they are reminded that other people are before them. This has happened on three occasions, which is a shame. The number of cars in the car park is not a true indication of how busy the pub is, as people park to sit in their car and watch the view without visiting the pub. Despite these two points, we look forward to visiting again next year.

Out of all the pubs I have visited in the area, this has to be my favourite. It is situated on the waters edge at the Coltishall staithe overlooking the common. There is an additional bar area with a pool table to the right of the well stocked small main bar. On the left there is a restaurant area leading through to an additional restaurant area in an old granary. Both are traditionally furnished and roomy, selling the usual pub fare at sensible prices. When I visited, Woodforde's Wherry, Adnams Lighthouse and Wychwood Hobgoblin were available on draft. Understandably busy in the summer it is worth a visit to sit outside and enjoy a pint. A good way to visit is to hire a day launch in Wroxham, and travel there and back on the River Bure.
