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.

The last tomatoes in Richmond gardens are coming indoors
The last tomatoes in Richmond gardens are coming indoors now, bundled in newspaper or lined up on kitchen windowsills. The green ones will never see another warm day outdoors. But they will ripen. Slowly, reluctantly, they turn from hard jade to blushing orange to full, soft red. You pick them before the first frost. That […]
