Rising Sun in Tottenham

You know, when I think about the Rising Sun, it's one of those places that just feels like a proper London gem – all that charming 19th-century decor makes it a lovely spot to pop in for a pint after a wander around the area. The staff really stand out; they're so approachable and eager to help, whether it's guiding you through the beer options or checking in to make sure you're enjoying your meal. The food doesn't disappoint either – I had the fish and chips, and it was spot on, with generous portions that leave you feeling chuffed. It's especially brilliant if you're into watching the footie or rugby, as they've got the screens sorted and a real community vibe. On the flip side, it does tend to fill up quickly on match days, so you might end up elbow-to-elbow if you don't plan ahead, and the menu's pretty straightforward pub fare, which won't wow you if you're in the mood for something a bit more exotic. All in all, it's a solid choice for a casual get-together, and I'd say it's well worth seeking out for a relaxed evening out.
