About the Riser
The heart of Frampton Cotterell is, of course, The Rising Sun, or as the locals call it, "The Riser". There is even a song about it... It has been the heart of Frampton Cotterell for decades and welcomes all, including our four-legged friends. There is even a song about it...
It is one of the few rare independent Real Alehouses left in Bristol. "A superb free house that has been the mainstay of the CAMRA GOOD BEER GUIDE for as long as anyone can remember. A former CAMRA pub of the year, renowned for conversation and conviviality.” (taken from The Good Beer Guide ).

Absolutely fantastic pub, great local ales (hop union formerly Great western brewery), good pub food, friendly locals and plenty of good dogs about too! Situated in the perfect position to be the start/middle/end of many a stunning south Gloucestershire walk!
Their own brewed beer is good! Also serving delicious food. I tried their pie, you would love it~ Although it took some time to wait for the food, it’s worth👍🏻👍🏻
A little longer than usual to wait for our food, but it was well worth it for the meat eaters. All fresh vegetables, good sized roasters, nice amount of meat and great tasting gravy. Daughter's nut roast not very good though, odd taste and very slimy. She didn't enjoy it at all. They redeemed themselves with the pudding selections. Definitely worth another visit.
Nice little find in a residential area. My husband said the beer was too nice and he had fight the urge to down his pint quickly. The consevatory restaurant area is nice and light and comfortable. We had Himalayan steak which we all agreed was delicious. This photo is minus the mushrooms which should come with it. I don't like mushrooms, but I loved the chips!
Edit from a previous negative experience below !! * I am highly disappointed from my recent booking today 5-3/23 at 12pm. My gf booked online for 2 persons. We were seated in the dining room , not the conservatory which was kinda ok initially although the decor felt like a holiday inn room. The Meal came quickly yet we were expected to share 1 tiny platter of veg and a small ramekin of cauliflower cheese, thought the server would bring the next portion of veg but nothing came . How is a single meal the same veg and cauliflower cheese for a couple when it’s double the price ? My dinner was not enough of a portion either. If this wasn’t bad enough that our dinner wasn’t fully equipped we had the whole football team next to us drinking eating crisps , swearing , shouting , my girlfriend being pregnant is not something I want to be around or expect when having a roast dinner in a dining area. Not once did the server offer to move us , check on us ( my dinner needed more gravy , where as my partners was swimming in it ), we were just left there. I couldn’t even speak to my partner during our whole meal and couldn’t wait to leave. The ambience was of a social club not a family dining. This was our first time and we are local residents and will not be returning or recommending. I would of complained whilst I was there but I just couldn’t wait to leave and the bar server wouldn’t of been able to hear me and I didn’t fancy shouting across the bar to explain my dissatisfaction. (We had to fight our way through the people at the bar drinking and queuing to get anyone’s attention and pay) I paid £34.35 for this disaster. If you are out with mates then it’s ok to drink but with a partner or kids avoid like the plague *Update* Since this review they reached out and offer to sit us for free. We attended today and were sat in the conservatory part !! This made a massive difference - the customer service was awesome and the food and atmosphere was much better !! Based off this experience I would now recommend this place and will come again with my partner ! Thanks it really shows that you care about the customers !
