Rising Sun

Could you run this Truro pub?

Overview Could you run this Truro pub? The Rising Sun in Truro is a stylish yet welcoming pub, tucked away on Mitchell Hill in one of the city’s historic quarters. It’s the perfect spot for relaxed dining, where contemporary touches meet the comfort of a classic pub. Pub and Location Visitors often call this pub the “Tardis”, as it is modest from the outside, but surprisingly spacious and full of character once you step in. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a snug bar featuring a log burner, rustic wooden beams, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s the heart of the pub, perfect for casual drinks or a chat with the locals. The bar space opens into intimate dining areas with a mix of small and larger tables. The décor is warm and understated, with soft lighting and vintage touches that create a homey, elegant ambience. Guests love the terraced seating in the small outdoor area, where guests can enjoy drinks or bar snacks in the fresh air. It’s especially popular on sunny days. The ideal Publican will maximise the use of the 40 covers in the main dining area, offering a balance between intimacy and buzz. You’ll discover the Rising Sun on Mitchell Hill, a quiet, historic street just a short stroll from the heart of Truro, Cornwall. It’s perched slightly uphill, giving it a peaceful, almost village-like feel despite being so close to the city centre. Nearby landmarks and attractions include Truro Cathedral, a boutique shopping and café hub and Victoria Gardens. Old Bridge Street leads you down to the riverside and into the main shopping and dining areas of Truro. Despite its central location, the Rising Sun feels like a hidden gem, surrounded by leafy lanes, historic buildings, and views of the cathedral spire peeking through the trees. It’s a lovely blend of countryside charm and city convenience. Ideal publican We’re seeking a characterful publican to run an easy-going and honest local where guests eat well and feel welcome.
