Property details
The Rising Sun is set on Mitchell Hill, a historic part of Truro, just a short walk from the city centre. Truro offers a strong mix of local trade and visitor footfall, supported by attractions such as Truro Cathedral, a range of independent shops and cafés, and nearby green spaces including Victoria Gardens. The city attracts visitors throughout the week while maintaining a steady local customer base. Its position slightly away from the busiest streets gives the pub a more neighbourhood feel, while still benefiting from its proximity to the centre.
At the heart of the pub is a beautiful Lounge Bar with a roaring open-log fire and other traditional features, such as wooden beams, creating a warm and sociable space for drinks. This leads through to a series of intimate dining areas, with a mix of smaller and larger tables. 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. Food plays an important role in the business, supported by around 40 covers, with a clear opportunity to deliver a simple, well‑executed menu that encourages repeat visits.
Outside, there is an opportunity to increase the number of covers on the terraced seating area, creating a pleasant space for drinks and informal dining, particularly in warmer weather.
The pub includes private on‑site accommodation, comprising three bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen. All presented to a good standard.
