Our restaurant & workshop share space, but more important are the views we share - that if we can make it ourselves, we will. That traditions guide but do not rule. Rising Sun Workshop does not support factory farming, what we buy in we buy local, from roasters, smokers, brewers, growers, winemakers & distillers who share our philosophies - our mates.We’re here for your crazy & not so crazy dietaries, not all things are possible but with a little notice they might be.

Great pub, love the new space. So much more room now there isn't the dingey pokies room. Menu has changed a bit and didn't have vegan cheese on the night we went. Hopefully sorted out for the next visit.
