Rising Sun, St Mawes

Booked for a Sunday roast, when we arrived it was quiet, but within 20 minutes the pub was near capacity, so would recommend booking ! Had a lovely window table with views out to sea. The service was excellent, attentive, polite and helpful staff. Food was excellent, presentation 👌 served with freshly prepared vegetables and a massive Yorkshire pudding. The beef, slightly pink, perfectly tender. The pork, served with some amazing crackling. Followed by a couple of Apple and Beery crumbles - Delicious!

Our room was ready early, which appreciated. The superior double was wonderful with a sofa and lounge chairs. The only issue was the extractor fan for the kitchen was outside, behind our bed. The food was very good, interior and exterior seating was comfortable with good views. The evening staff were very attentive. Would recommend and return.

Stayed last minute for the night, great value superior double room, evening meal was fantastic, breakfast was great with lots of choices. Lovely lass from Sheffield behind the bar was really friendly and welcoming as was the really polite young man who took over from her later in the evening. And as a walk in customer the manager gave us a great price including breakfast. Can't fault the place. Martin. North Yorkshire.

Myself, my mum and my daughter stayed here for 2 nights and I couldn't fault the hotel. Staff were very friendly, professional and helpful and the food was excellent. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment which was lovely. The beds and bedding were so comfortable and lots of extras including dry robes, umbrellas and toiletries. I would 100% come back again and would highly recommend it. Thankyou for a lovely stay.

As usual had a lovely time. |Rooms are great and staff are very helpful. Breakfasts were lovely. Had a really nice and relaxing time. Slept very well. Really comfortable beds and rooms are all decorated to a high standard. Great views over the harbour and restaurant is very relaxing

We had dinner here with my parents and our two kids (4 and 2) The staff were perfect, on it with various allergies the small boy has, friendly, efficient, great with the kids, and very happy to make us welcome. Top notch service. Food, was excellent, although these days it’s difficult to workout what’s value for money and what’s not, but we spent around £140 for four adult meals, 2 kids, and desserts, and drinks. We left feeling full and happy, what more would you want!

While we haven't stayed here, we love eating here. The staff are extremely helpful and the food is lovely. The gluten free fish and chips are amazing. We had 2 teenagers with ASD and added a note in the online booking form to ask for a quieter table in a corner if possible, and they provided exactly what we asked for. Very happy and will definitely visit again.

We had such a wonderful stay. The staff were amazing so friendly and couldn’t do enough to help. The setting is divine. The food was amazing fresh and tasty, to say breakfast was included, so much choice and presented so well. Only thing was we had no view, next time I would definitely book a costal view!

Popped in for a quick lunch. I am not sure why many people have given 3 star reviews. I found the food and service to be perfectly decent for a small town restaurant. I ordered fish and chips with mashed peas and a pint of local beer. The fish was huge for American standard and quite tasty. The chips (fries) were just okay. There are nicer restaurants in town if you're any a proper sit down meal, but for what Rising Sun offers I found it great.

After catching the ferry from Falmouth across to St Mawes and being dragged through several shops, and with the treat of being dragged into several more, I dug my heels in and told my partner to rest her poor feet at this table outside this sweet pub and have a cup of tea, while I had a Guinness. They do have a few Cask ales here but none of them seemed to appeal to me. What did appeal were the Fish and chips that other customers had ordered and had it not been for the fact that I wasn't hungry I would have had some. They looked absolutely Gorgeous, had I know I wouldn't have seen any more looking as appetising for the rest of my Cornish visit I would have had some there and then (I am sure there are plenty of other places serving just as good but I never found anymore that week). Never mind it's a good reason to visit again.

Friday night is Fish and Chip night: for the biggest portion of F+C's this side of a whale, try it soon! The Rising Sun has been reinventing itself recently, from boutique hotel with a fine restaurant to something with more mass appeal. Sometimes they get it right, other times they fail to resist the temptation to gouge!

A venue that is superb but makes the mistake of thinking that trapped 'tourists' will put up with anything. Half pint of prawns that much nearer to shrimps, dry brown bread, plastic white bread, heavily laced with margarine and chips cooked on a very greasy over used fat - a waste of £25
