I was disappointed not to be sat in the pretty area as that for me is extra special. Service was great apart from a slight mixup with our request to have one dish as a starter but was sorted promptly. Still one of my favourite places to go, despite the small tables ☺️

It’s been 7 years since I last been. The food did not disappoint, it was as good as I last had it. Went on a Friday lunch, and they had an offer of any main and drink for £11. Bargain for such delicious food. Friday lunch had a few people around, so was nice and quiet. Sat to the left of the bar and was pretty cool despite it being a warm day. Despite feeling so full, the smells that came out of the kitchen were delicious, almost deluding myself into thinking I could eat more. Thame has some great eateries, The Rising Sun is one of them. I purposefully travelled from the Midlands to have my birthday meal here.
