Dropped in on Sunday night after booking one hour before on the way back from the Flinders Ranges. The food was beautiful - way better than we expected in a pub. It's not pub food - it's restaurant food! And the staff are super friendly - really good old fashioned country hospitality.
We enjoyed three plates from the entree menu as shared lunch for two. Serving sizes were generous, food was super tasty and you could tell a lot of love had gone into the preparation and flavours. A real find for GF diners as 90% of the menu was catered for this dietary intolerance, thanks Rising Sun! Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely stop in for a feed.
Had our last eating out pre Covid lunch here before lockdown the next day and it was sensational, just look at the photo..... and it tasted as good as it looked! Didn’t break the bank either. The lovely Ali also let us recharge our bike batteries so we could get back to Clare.
My husband and I dined here a couple of times whilst staying in Auburn for a few days. We were quite impressed with the menu as there was plenty to choose from and the prices are reasonable. I ordered the chicken schnitzel with mushroom sauce and hubby ordered the porterhouse schnitzel with pepper sauce. The mains came with chips and a side serve of freshly made salad. Both of our main courses were delicious and the mushroom sauce which was home made with fresh mushrooms, cream and white wine was simply to die for. The next time we visited we had a dozen Kilpatrick Oysters to start with and for main course we both ordered Rump Steak. Again we were not disappointed. The steaks were lovely and tender, generous serves and freshly made salad. We can definitely recommend The Rising Sun Hotel for great food at reasonable prices and friendly staff. We look forward to returning when we are next in the Clare Valley.
I stayed there with a colleague this week . We both booked rooms in the old pub building. Whilst they were slightly old, the rooms were extremely comfortable and clean. They have been done up. The bed was excellent and everything worked well. Shower was terrific. Towels thick and new.
We dined in the Pub restaurant. The food was just excellent.
We could not fault the whole experience. Compliments to the owners (Mick)and to their excellent support staff, Chloe.
This is a top place to stay and dine. One of the Best Value for Money country pubs I have experienced. Will be back.
I have already recommended Rising Sun to others.
