Bedrooms

The Rising Sun has four comfortable en-suite bedrooms, each with views across the river or common. Rooms are individually styled with a light, contemporary feel, providing a calm and welcoming space to unwind after a day exploring the Broads. Expect comfortable beds, modern bathrooms and thoughtful in-room amenities suited to both short breaks and longer stays. The peaceful waterside setting ensures a restful night, with the gentle rhythm of river life just outside. Dogs are welcome on request, with prior acknowledgement directly with the pub in some rooms and others are suitable for families.

Food & Drink

The Rising Sun serves classic pub dishes alongside seasonal specials, and wood-fired Neapolitan pizza. From leisurely lunches on the terrace to cosy evening meals inside, the atmosphere is informal and welcoming. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients feature across the menu where possible, complemented by a well-kept selection of ales, wines, and spirits behind the bar. On warmer days, dining outdoors by the water is a particular highlight.
