The Rising Sun Christian Malford (Under New Management April 22)

This refreshed village pub offers hearty, well-executed classics, from tender Sunday roasts to freshly made sourdough pizzas, burgers, pasta, and comforting sides. Homemade desserts, including cheesecake and ice cream sundaes, round out the menu. A spacious garden with games and seating by the lawn creates a welcoming setting for groups of all ages, complemented by well-kept beer, a considered wine list, and a selection of gins.
