And what a wonderful pub to drink in! Not only do they have a fantastic selection of real ales, the staff are friendly and everyone is made to feel welcome! Well done Ray, Sandra and the rest of the Rising Sun crew! :0)

Such a shame about those plans to demolish the Rising Sun and Railway and replace with flats and a supermarket.

The plans are for the King Street car park with a supermarket at ground level and adapted flats above it. However I am aware that nothing has been confirmed and in fact it doesn't look as though it'll be going ahead anyway. I can assure you that the Rising Sun will be around for many years to come.
