Rising Sun

Sitting proudly at the bottom of Silver Street and just a short stroll from Kettering town centre, The Rising Sun is a true community favourite — the kind of pub where everyone knows your name, the banter flows as freely as the beer, and the atmosphere is always buzzing.

This is a lively, character-filled local with a reputation that stretches far beyond its postcode. Known for its legendary fundraising efforts, passionate sports-loving crowd, and a warm, no-nonsense welcome, The Rising Sun is the beating heart of its neighbourhood.

What Makes The Rising Sun Special

• One-bar operation with real charm The layout is simple, social, and built for energy. It’s the kind of bar where conversations spark easily and regulars feel right at home.

• Multi-level garden with TV screens A huge asset in summer and a magnet for sports fans year-round. Perfect for big match days, outdoor events, and creating a real destination space.

• A function room with untapped potential This is a standout opportunity. Whether it’s private parties, community groups, live music, quizzes, or themed nights, the room is ready for an operator with vision to turn it into a serious revenue driver.

• A loyal, lively customer base The Rising Sun’s regulars are full of personality — sociable, supportive, and always up for a good time. They love their sport, they love their pub, and they love getting behind a great cause.

The Rising Sun sits in a prime spot at the bottom of Silver Street, one of the key routes leading directly into Kettering town centre. It’s perfectly positioned to capture both loyal locals and steady footfall from shoppers, workers, and visitors moving through the area.

Just a few minutes’ walk away, the town centre offers a mix of independent retailers, national brands, cafés, takeaways, and essential services, creating a constant flow of people throughout the day. The nearby marketplace and pedestrianised shopping streets help keep the area vibrant, especially at weekends.

The pub also benefits from being close to several residential neighbourhoods, giving it a strong built‑in customer base. Many locals see The Rising Sun as their go‑to meeting point — a place to watch the match, catch up with friends, or unwind after work.

Transport links are excellent. Kettering’s train station is within easy reach, offering fast connections to London and the wider region, while major roads like the A14 and A43 make the area accessible for visitors and event bookings. This connectivity adds real value when promoting the function room for private hire.
