Agave Spirit Tasting with Starmoreboss

The second of our tutored drinks tasting sessions in partnership with local wine & spirit legend, Barry Starmore of Starmoreboss is now available for booking.

Barry will use his expertise as a local purveyor of fine wine and spirits to guide you through the tasting of a selection of agave based products (namely mezcals and tequilas) over the course of the evening. Tickets are £17.50pp and limited in number to 28 places, so book early to avoid disappointment by calling 0114 230 3955, emailing [email protected] or popping into the pub and speaking to a member of the team.

Bookings can also be made online here.

Join us on Monday 4th July from 7pm.

 Quiz Nights - Every Wednesday & Sunday! 

Our popular quiz nights run twice every week and cost £1 per person to enter, with beer & wine prizes to be won. On Sunday we host a Noughts and Crosses bingo style quiz - a favourite with our customers, as you don't need to have all the answers to stand a chance of winning. Meanwhile, Wednesday's quiz takes on a more traditional format for those that relish a challenge. You can also purchase a raffle ticket for a £1 for a chance to crack our safe and win the cash prize contents. Quizzes start at 9:30pm and last until around 11pm.

Team tables can be booked via the website booking system or by calling 0114 230 3855, but booking is not compulsory.

Sunfest 2022 - Update

We’re sorry to announce that 2022 will sadly not see Sunfest return to The Rising Sun. Sunfest is an event which requires huge amounts of time and energy from the entirety of Team Abbeydale, usually starting in December, and with circumstances having still been in a constant state of change we cannot be fully confident in being able to deliver the event in the way in which you all expect (and how we would want to run it!)!

We are first and foremost a brewery, and a pub - we need to focus on rebuilding our core business after the Covid pandemic and looking after our staff and our customers to the best of our abilities. We will still be selecting a charity to work with this year and creating a beer for them as we would for Sunfest - our community spirit is a key part of who we are and we certainly won’t be letting that go! The Rising Sun is looking at new ways of using the extended and improved outdoor space too so we will be sure to keep you in the loop - please do join us for an al fresco pint or two! We hope you understand - and please watch this space as we DO hope to have some exciting news about our future plans to share with you all soon.

Cheers,

Team Abbeydale x
