The best of Lynmouth restaurants
Here at The Rising Sun we are passionate about local food. We serve the very best in fresh seasonal produce, cooked just how you like it. Our menus have something for everyone, from fish lovers to vegetarians, with an ever-changing selection of specials to reflect the best of the coast and countryside. Perfectly complemented with a great wine list and well-kept real ales and ciders.
With a location so close to the sea, we are in an excellent position to make the most of the local catch. Depending on the season, diners can expect anything from prime lobster to fantastically fresh sea bass and local mussels. Quality is everything for us and the only frozen food you will find in our kitchen is the ice cream!
Non-residents are very welcome to eat at The Rising Sun, but we do recommend booking a table during busy times.

The best ploughman’s I’ve ever had!
We were staying at Lynton and got the delightful cliff railway down to Lynmouth, we stopped here for a quick drink but on looking at the menu, we decided to stay for lunch. The best ploughman’s I’ve ever had, everything was homemade. Hubby had crab sandwiches, thick, chunky bread and utterly delicious. We highly recommend eating here, the food is amazing. The setting of the pub is in a beautiful location, right beside the sea, very traditional inside, just my favourite type of pub.
Vicky on TripAdvisorAnother brilliant stay!
Another brilliant stay at the Rising Sun, Lynmouth. STUNNING location – beautiful accommodation (so clean) – EXCELLENT food, staff so professional & friendly. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble – all they care about is looking after YOU the customer. Cannot RECOMMEND enough
Andrew Giles on TripAdvisorLovely hotel and restaurant!
This is the second time we have stopped at the Rising Sun within a year and both stays have been perfect! The staff are very helpful and provide a superb service. We would highly recommend staying here and having a meal in the outstanding restaurant! We have stayed in two different rooms and both have been lovely with beautiful sea views. We will be returning very soon!
