Delicious food made by the new JLo’s Kitchen. Highly recommend. Yummy loaded fries and smashed burgers 🍔 can’t wait to try the rest of the menu
First time we've been here, heard plenty of good things about it and we were pleasently surprised. Had Sunday lunch and it was lovely, plenty of meat and vegetables. Well worth a visit and very reasonably priced. Couldn't believe kids under 14 only pay £1 with an adult meal, we'll be going again👍
I'm only reviewing this place on their music events. Shocking!!! The act didn't start til 16:20 after an advertised 15;00 start. The act wasn't great and people were leaving in their drives as did we. 40 minute + queue for drinks and just not well organised. We won't be back.
Spacious, Live music come up some days; you can host engagement parties, after parties etc screens for slideshows
Just back from playing a gig at The Rising Sun. This place is a community asset. The management. The customers. The staff. Had great fun and met most of the street, it turns out!
