We're getting back down to the business of serving our hugely popular roasts on Sunday from midday to 4pm, followed by music from the brilliant Emma Sorrell.

🤔🤔🤔 Friday night is Quiz night. A fun, free to enter quiz with rounds to suit all specialities. From 8.30pm- last food orders at 6.45pm. Prebooking highly recommended. 🤔🤔🤔

On Saturday we have twice the fun on offer. Kicking off with a fantastic set from Marilyn Sky, singing all your favourite rock, pop, jazz, soul and country favourites from 6.00pm, followed by karaoke from 8.30pm to round your evening off in style. Join Anne and friends in raising a glass to the much-loved and much-missed Ger Anthony Mulrooney on what would have been his birthday weekend- silly t-shirts optional but appreciated.

Our kitchen is open from midday to 6pm on Saturday, offering pub classics from our regular menu, so why not make an evening of it, enjoy some great food and music before grabbing the mic and showcasing your vocal skills?

Our Sunday entertainment comes courtesy of Three Shades of Grey, making a welcome return to the Sportsman and performing rock classics from the Eagles and Springsteen to Fleetwood Mac, with plenty in between. Why not enjoy lunch first? Choose from a traditional roast, a generous salad, Ploughman's or charcuterie platter, all served from midday to 4pm. The music starts at 4pm- booking is a must for those who want to eat, to avoid disappointment, and we're expecting a great crowd for the band too.
