Not had the food - but I'm sure it would be great! Love the atmosphere here, a real classic pub. Also a breath of fresh air that you can get two pints for less than a tenner (two pints of sovereign). Brilliant pub - would recommend to anyone
Another Samuel Smith's pub with their fabulous beers, and spirits. Good food too as I had the Steak and Ale pie and that was one of the kind. Thanks guys and keep it up!
This is a nice Sam Smith's pub that's worth a visit in this area. It's off the beaten track for tourists and whenever I've been there it's been pretty quiet, sometimes the bar staff had disappeared for a bit and it was just me and my bud on the whole main floor. I do like it's not busy.
There are some really good pubs in this area and for a crawl this should be on the list I think. It's right next to St Bartholomew's hospital and there's a lot of high end places to eat near by like St John.
I like Sam Smith's brews so I really liked hanging out here and letting time pass. I think the bar staff should be more available though.
Brilliant. Handpulled Sam Smiths and sweet potato chips, upstairs with a fabulous view of St Bartholomew The Great. I had been warmly welcomed to join the bellringers at their practice night. The Rising Sun is a standing item on the bellringing practice agenda. Loved it.
Wonderful pub and the barman was really friendly. The food was good and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

❤️ A traditional Sam Smiths Smithfield boozer.
.
Getting here is easy, it’s just a short walk from Barbican or Farringdon stations. If you’re walking from Farringdon station be sure to check out the William Wallace Memorial which is on West Smithfield.
.
As with all pubs around Smithfield, this pub is easy on the eye. The pub is located on Cloth Fair and tucked in to a passageway which makes for a great setting.
.
The decor here is unmistakably Sam Smiths. The ornate dark woodwork, stripped wooden floors and fireplace all make for a traditional pub experience. There is another bar upstairs which is predominantly used for dining.
.
Now on to the beer which seems to be akin to marmite on most forums of discussion about Sam Smith’s pubs. I’m a lager drinker and always go for either the Double Four or Taddy Lager, both of which are good session beers and not overly priced. However a lot of people have got the hump with SS’s because post covid they stuck £1 or more on a pint to make up their losses. The price point is still reasonable, you still get a pint for around a fiver where the average in London for a lager is around six quid. There was one cask ale on at the time of visiting.
.
I was served by The Guv’nor who was a top fella and very welcoming. He was chatting to a couple of regulars around the bar and having a bit of banter. The atmosphere was laid back on this Friday afternoon, there were a few punters inside and few in the passageway outside having an alfresco pint on this warm August day.
.
Around Smithfield Market there are some fantastic boozers, you are really spoilt for choice. The Rising Sun is yet another quality pub to visit around this part of Town. So whether your with your mates or with your other half or like me on your todd, add this pub to your list.

Sleepy little place with old floral and lace wallpaper that my grandma would have loved. The service was great - a charming old guy behind the bar. The food was solid - we both got the steak and ale pie, it came with steamed cabbage and turnip mash and chips. The sticky toffee pudding for dessert was tasty, albeit it painfully sweet. It’s the kind of dessert you share. Nice, chill experience.
Bartender was super friendly and helpful, he offered a ton of info about the pub and the surrounding area. We went around noon and there was only 3 other people having their mid day pints. I had a pint of lager and it was amazing. The fish and chips they have were not bad either.
Really enjoyed this pub because it has good food and good beer. I like a full strength craft brew (I'm from Seattle) and their organic lager was spot on. The bangers and mash was superb with a nice treat of two onion rings on top! Afterwards we enjoyed darts in the first floor pub portion of the establishment (restaurant is on second floor). Red Cow and Shear and Hand were jam packed on a Friday but there was plenty of room here. I guess it's a hidden gem just a block from the others.
Classic Pub interior, great food and friendly staff. Sunday dinner was delirious, their Yorkshire pudding melts in your mouth. A must try while in London.
Cosy pub in Smithfield near to Church of St Bartholomew - serves a good choice of Samuel Smiths beers and lagers and friendly service 👍🍺
It's a lovely quite little pub in the city. Nice stout and a nice atmosphere, with great old-fashioned interior.
Sam Smith's pub. Great beers and great service as expected. Looks classy and traditional and that's how I love it. Really friendly people behind the bar and food was good too. Location is slightly hidden but it gets crowded after work like most other places around here. Go for it.
Nice quiet Samuel Smith's pub, very friendly bar lady there aswell.
Lovely quiet pub, Sunday lunch was absolutely delicious as was the beer, nice genuine and friendly staff, couldn't ask for better service..
