About Rising Sun

The Rising Sun is a neighbourhood pub situated on Richmond Road in Twickenham, serving the local community seven days a week. With a reputation for well-kept beers, a thoughtful wine selection and Sunday roasts that draw regulars back week after week, it offers both a relaxed spot for a midweek drink and a livelier venue when live music is on. The comfortable outdoor seating extends its appeal through the warmer months, and the attentive service from kitchen and front-of-house alike gives it the feel of a genuinely community-rooted local rather than just another place to eat and drink.

Local area

Twickenham has always been a town that takes its pubs seriously, and the Rising Sun sits comfortably within that tradition. Richmond Road connects Twickenham to Richmond itself, placing the pub in a well-travelled stretch of the borough that blends residential streets with everyday amenities. In a town whose identity is bound up with community, the river and the occasional roar of the nearby stadium, a dependable neighbourhood local like this one plays a quietly important role — offering a familiar, welcoming space away from the bigger chains and the matchday crowds.

Why choose Rising Sun

For residents who value a pub that feels genuinely local rather than generic, the Rising Sun makes a strong case for itself. It opens at 11am every day of the week, giving it unusual flexibility for a mid-morning coffee alternative, a long lunch or an evening out. The combination of well-regarded food — particularly the roasts — live music and a warm front-of-house ethos means it works equally well as a dining destination or a simple place to unwind. A Google rating of 4.3 from over 725 visitors suggests this reputation is well earned.
