A POPULAR Somerset pub near Taunton has revealed that new owners have taken over after hoping to reignite the local community.

Situated near the Quantock Hills, the Rising Sun is looking to attract new and returning customers with their "delicious" Sunday Roast.

The Hill-view Inn offers simple rooms, a pub-style restaurant and a complimentary full breakfast when staying at the Somerset spot.

The owners, Joanna and Ray Matravers, decided to take over the reins at the Rising Sun, which reopened this month.

Food and drink are available with the kitchen team serving limited food options at the moment.

The new team will release full menus on November 10 with more options.

We have absolutely nothing to do with the previous management and will be offering our new menus from Sunday, November 10.

"We look forward to welcoming everyone back to their village pub and enjoying what is essentially a massive asset to the local area.

"Best wishes Joanna and Ray."
