A year to remember

As it approaches its tenth anniversary, The Rising Sun in Truro has plenty planned to make this year one for the ages.

It’s going to be a big year for the team at The Rising Sun in Truro. October will see the team’s ten-year anniversary, and they’ve already started the year with a bang having received the exciting news that they are being included in the top 100 Gastropubs list!

Conceived in 2009 with the purpose of recognising the stars in the gastropubs industry, the list is created by collecting votes from more than 100 key industry professionals. Judges come from leading pub businesses, editors of media brands and food writers from around the UK, and for pubs like The Rising Sun, to be a part of the list is no small achievement.

To celebrate this and the upcoming anniversary, Managing Director Katie Hannon explains: “We are making this our best year yet with lots of fun events throughout the year. We have had an industry event already, a wine-paired lunch with a producer focus, and we have lots more to look forward to, including a champagne dinner at the start of May. This will offer guests a tasting menu paired with one of our favourite champagne houses, Drappier, whose fascinating history dates back hundreds of years. Also with an eye to the future, it was the first carbon neutral champagne house to produce exquisite, sustainable champagne.”

Later in the year, Katie and co will host an intimate and relaxed evening of cigar and rum / whiskey pairings, hosted by the incredibly knowledgeable John Strange. “The evening will be set in our courtyard garden surrounded by candlelight and around our outdoor log burner,” Katie reveals.

There will also be some chilled summer weekly seafood barbeques throughout the warmer months, with acoustic music and DJ beats. These require no bookings, meaning you can just turn up and enjoy the food and ambience. Oh, and if you’re planning on enjoying Cornwall’s festival scene, you’ll find Tom Hannon in action (owner and Chef at The Rising Sun) at Rock Oyster Festival, Falmouth Week and Truro Food and Drink Festival. 

Topped off with a big event to celebrate their ten-year anniversary, with details embargoed for now but to be announced soon, 2024 is set to be a big one for Katie, Tom and the team.
