We always pay the Rising Sun a visit when we are in the area. The location is great and I could sit on the terrace all afternoon watching the world go by. Good that it serves Cornish lager and the burger and chips were really good. Always reluctant to leave, especially when the sun is shining.

called in here for lunch with my disabled wife. We sat in the conservatory which was very comfortable with a great view out over the bay. the menu is varied with something for everyone and it does not disappoint. the food was excellent, and well presented. The staff were efficient and friendly making it a great experience.

St. Mawes lies in a superb location. A very special place. We only spent one night in The Rising Sun, found the accommodation quaint and cosy. The food reasonably good, but any problems were dealt with, swiftly and with a smile. As we are in the Tourism Business, we take our well earned breaks out of Season. In high Summer,... More

We had walked to St Mawes from the SW coastal path, on a rather windy and cold day, as we were staying in Cornwall rather early in May, we kept finding pubs and restuarants shut in the afternoons just as we had finished a long walk and were starving!, we found the Rising Sun, open for food all day, and...

This place really delivers. It would be very easy for a venue of this location to serve average fair with disinterested staff- but they really stand up to expectation. We came here on a grey lunchtime, dogs were welcome so long as they were on a lead and off the furniture. The antipodean staff (a young lady and a gentleman)... More

We visited The Rising Sun Inn on numerous occasions while staying in St. Mawes in May 2013 on our first trip to Cornwall. The food is fabulous and the staff are very friendly & obliging. The pub has a great atmosphere with lots of different seating areas, including a really nice outdoor terrace overlooking the harbour & Roseland Peninsula, ideal... More

Visited the rising sun for lunch on Saturday 27 April. Food was delicous. We all had different. One of us had the one of the vegetarian options. Which she said was heavenly. They have some different veggie options to the normal run of the mill stuff. Will definitely visit again. Lovely village, lovely pub fab views.

This is a well located pub type restaurant in the Centre of St Mawes, with some sea views sand plenty of outdoor seating in a Sunni and sheltered spot. The menu is indifferent pub fare at prices which reflect its location. Dogs allowed. Wine by the glass quite poor. No comment on accommodation since we only had lunch here.

We visited the Rising Sun for four nights with our two Border terriers. Our room was clean, warm & comfortable with a sea view. The specials in the bar/ restaurant were so good we couldn't be bothered to eat anywhere else. Fish &chip night on Fridays was particularly good and brought in the locals. Dogs were allowed in the bar... More
