PUB NEAR BRISTOL WITH 'BRITAIN'S BEST BEER GARDEN' HAS NEW OWNERS

An award-winning village pub with an incredible beer garden has new owners. The team behind the The Keynsham Courtyard have announced they will take over at The Rising Sun in Pensford.

Nestled in the serene Chew Valley in Somerset, the pub is just a stone's throw away from the city. It is known for its incredible beer garden which overlooks the Pensford Viaduct, a disused railway bridge dating back to 1873. It provides the ideal backdrop to refuel after a walk around the stunning fields and woodland nearby.

Named England’s second-best beer garden in 2023 by Big 7 Travel, and number one by Union JACK radio in 2020, the garden has seating for up to 60 people and a barbecue gazebo area. Inside, there is seating for 60 punters and a function room for an additional 20.

Taking to Facebook, the team behind the The Keynsham Courtyard said: "I am proud, delighted and excited to announce that we will be taking over the running of The Rising Sun in Pensford alongside The Courtyard at the end of September!!! We’ve been ironing out the finer details for a while but thankful we have finally got this acquisition over the line

"We hope we can continue the great work that Lisa, Bex and the rest of the team have done and rest assured the pub will be in safe hands. Why not like & follow their page Rising Sun Pensford so we can let you know what’s beyond the horizon."

The first floor boasts an open-plan kitchen/breakfast area which leads into a second seating area, a modern-fitted shower room and a utility room. The bedrooms are split across both floors, with a second family dining area and family bathroom upstairs.
