The Rising Sun & Pad Thai Cuisine

Wow! excellent, friendly, real thai food.. i only popped in for a beer but ended up eating..really really good... you just gotta go there

Oh dear! our visit was a dissapointment- perhaps even a shambles. my partner and myself went, along with 8 other colleagues, on a saturday evening. i had previously informed the pub (as requested)of our requirements (starters and main courses). the pub was very busy- good- it's great to see a pub heaving, but nobody seemed aware of our order. not one of our party had a starter- 2 bowls of crackers (at £4.50 a pop) were dumped in front of us all to share, whether we had ordered them or not, even though i had informed them previously we wanted 2 particular starter dishes. we did at least receive our main dishes. ours were fine. my partner would have died for a coffee, but nobody offered her one- if they did we missed it. a 10% service charge is imposed- and it's mandatory. we will not be returning for this reason alone. the service was pretty poor- i rated it 4/10. i admit it was very busy and the staff were rushed off their feet. perhaps going on a saturday evening was a mistake- the pub seemed to assume we were doing them a favour by giving them our time and money. paying was a shambles too. i wish the rising sun all the best, but i'll be giving it a very wide berth in the future.

Very busy pub. great menu really enjoyed the food. service was good.

Wonderful service, tasty food, a hidden gem for food in the middle of thame! update march 2023 a wonderful find in sleepy thame! beatifically cooked and presented thai delicacies served promptly in a beautiful environment. you enter through the busy country pub, will warning smells of wood smoke and delicious food, friendly greeting at the bar, then transform through to the restaurant, like a tardis, tucked away at the back of the put. we were undecided what to choose from as didn’t want to have something they wasn’t to our taste. we decided eventually to choose from the set menu, with some small tweaks, which suited our needs impeccably. 2 glasses of prosecco, 2 pints of estrada and half a guinness (it was st patrick’s day!) came to £88. not cheap but reasonable.
