The Rising Sun - Hinckley and Bosworth

I have visited this pub several times now and have always enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, excellent service from the landlord and bar staff, and delicious food (I plan to try the pizzas next time I visit). One time, I arrived on a Monday afternoon before the pub opened, but the landlord opened up just for my friend and me, serving us a much-needed beer. We sat outside under the covered seating area with the heaters on, a truly enjoyable experience. I would recommend this pub to anyone looking for tasty pub food and a great selection of beers and wines.

We arrived and ordered at and did not receive our food until We had tried to book a table inside but were told it was fully booked inside although it was practically empty the whole hours we were there (although there were...people outside) The waitress was rude. She singled us out as young couples to make us pay as soon as we had ordered. I can understand concern that people may leave without paying when sat outside but they did not do this to any of the surrounding tables. The burgers were wet, the lasagne was dry and crispy, the nachos had practically no toppings. All had clearly been sat under a heat lamp for a long time. We had to ask multiple times where our food was and told twice that we were next in the queue before another waiter finally told us that there was a wait and apologised. Would not recommend. I can guarantee that the meals we received were not worth the wait we had or the price we paid.

We visited today for drinks outside following the reopening yesterday. Absolutely brilliant table service outside. Warm, hospitable and friendly. Great ales. Will certainly return.

Called in for lunch today, having not visited this pub for a number of years.Lunch is now served in the bar area, so you eat listening to cross bar conversations today on the subject of rat catching!There is a reasonable choice on the menu,...however, having been made to feel less than welcome when we arrived, no sooner had we sat down than the bar lady came over Just to say there's no soup, the chef hasn't put it on yet and there's no fish cakes' A sorry' at this point might have been appropriate, but was not forthcoming. The food we ordered, when it arrived, was nicely served by a pleasant lady, but the whole unwelcoming experience means we are not likely to return! PS The restaurant area looked nice, though obviously not in use at lunch times.

Popped in for dinner about Staff and locals friendly, ate in bar as cricket on and the food was lovely. Tried the chicken with haggis which was lovely (just a little too much cream in the sauce for me), partners sea bass was amazing...and the beer was ace. Best pint of TT's Landlord around.
