Community

Here at the Rising Sun we are a truly local pub in the village of Nether Green. We pride ourselves on our community spirit and it’s important to us to make each and every customer feel a part of it. We are also a family friendly pub (including treats for any canine companions!).

Children's Charter

Under the licensing objectives we do have a requirement to take steps to protect children from harm on our premises. In order to do this we operate a Children's Charter. We request that under 16's who are not dining please vacate the premises by 7:30pm, and those that are dining by 9pm. We also ask that children remain with a responsible adult at all times and are not seated in the bar area. We regret that we cannot serve children directly at the bar, even for soft drinks and snacks. Thank you in advance for your co-operation.

Field to Fork

Are you green fingered and a fan of a nice cool drink after a hard days graft in the garden? Then this might be just the scheme for you. Since launching our new kitchen back in 2015 we aim to have a seasonal menu featuring the very best fruit and veg available at each time of year. This is where you come in!

We offer an exchange scheme where you can swap your excess home grown fruit & veg for beer tokens, which entitle you to any draught beer or cider priced at £3.50 or below, or a 175ml glass of house wine. Either drop us an email on risingsun@abbeydalebrewery.co.uk or pop into the pub and speak to Garry or any of the team if you are interested in taking part.

Charities

RAIN Rescue

We have been supporting local dog rescue charity RAIN Rescue for a number of years. Primarily they take dogs out of the local council pound to avoid the threat of euthanasia. You can read more about what they do here. You can help us support them throughout the year by donating any change in their collection buckets on the bar and of course by partaking in the Annual Sunfest Dog Show!

James Brownhill Memorial Fund

Every year, our Sunfest festival supports a local good cause – in 2019 we chose James Brownhill Memorial Fund. This fund has been set up by James’ family following his death on 1st July 2011, on the Frendo spur, Chamonix, France. They provide a number of buseries encouraging safe practice and training for moutaineers.
