Our Story

The Sportsman Pub was first registered as a ‘beer house’ in 1800 – the original building is over 200 years old. As a beer house, it was the main place for the hunt to gather with their horses & hounds, hence the name The Sportsman.

Matt Palmer took over the pub in 2009, and reinvented the pub to create a place where all were welcome, offering great food & a friendly atmosphere.

Over the years, the pub has established & grown each year, but still holds its values – to provide great food, drinks & customer satisfaction.
