The Rising Sun is a traditional riverside pub, restaurant and B&B in the Norfolk Broads. Adjacent to Coltishall Common, we are a popular destination for both locals and tourists looking for good food and a relaxing drink overlooking the delightful River Bure. Our extensive menu has something for everyone, from our take on pub classics to authentic wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas.
Coltishall is situated in the Bure Valley, a beautiful stretch of countryside that follows the River Bure from Aylsham to Wroxham.

Services
Food is served all day from midday until 8pm Monday to Saturday (7.30pm Sundays) and we are not currently taking reservations - all our tables are available on a walk-in only basis. Please check in with the NHS app when you arrive and we will find you a table.
Our pizzas are made in the traditional Neapolitan style, hand-stretched before being topped with homemade tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella, then cooked in the wood-fired oven - which burns at 450-500 degrees Celsius - for only a few minutes.The end result is a pizza with a thin centre, a crust that is crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and a fine balance of quality toppings - traits that are typical of an authentic Neapolitan pizza.

Smashing takeaway meal from here..
Sat in restaurant in past and been plagued with so-so meals and small for the owners group portions (Recruiting Sargent and Buck at Blicking much better)
The portion sizes were great, the food was so top notch, I keep trying to plan another visit..
Went for stroll before, got back bit early so bar staff told kitchen who helped bring it together a bit earlier.
Will recommend to all to give a go!

Stayed the night recently at this nicely positioned pub on the banks of the River Bure with a nice scenic view. Room was very clean and comfortable. Had a good nights sleep in a comfy bed. Shower was nice and hot and all at a reasonable price which included breakfast. Breakfast the following day was amazing, the best full English breakfast that I have ever had. All cooked while you waited and good and fresh. Staff were nice and friendly and very helpful. I would have no hesitation on revisiting.

Great food in a great location. We came here the other day with the family to enjoy a good old pub lunch. The ladies serving you there are, from the first contact, very friendly, professional and efficient. The food, what can I say, every single person enjoyed what they ordered from the lamb to the pizza. I had the pleasure of enjoying the beautiful, warm chocolate browny to finish off the meal. All in all, a great value meal in an idyllic setting directly on the river. Highly recommended!

Fantastic food in a lovely traditional style pub. Staff were welcoming & friendly. Squeezed us(family of 3) in whilst on our holiday despite us not having a booking & them being pretty busy. Food was well-cooked, well presented & served within 10-15mins of ordering. Would highly recommend & hope to visit again in the future.

Lovely pub. Great location along the river, watching people boating, kayaking and paddle boarding. Spent 6 hours here today on a warm September afternoon, loads of food and drink. Staff were great considering how busy it was, very polite. Service was a little slow but didn't really care. Would definitely recommend a visit.
