The Sportsman takes the classic British Boozer and brings it bang up to date.
With its beautiful Art Deco interior we’ve restored the original feature to their former glory. We won English Heritage Pub Design Awards in 2010.
A great pub needs great beer and The Sportsman clearly delivers on this count. Rotating cask & craft taps bring you the best there is in UK & world beers, fantastic real ciders and a fridge bursting at the seams with top class Belgian beers deliver what you’d expect and that’s before you start on the cellar aged specials and some of the 50+ whiskies.
Some amazing pictures from a truly amazing Delirium Day. Working shifts like these is why I got into bar work and why I love what I do so much. It was busy and non-stop all night, but the teamwork behind the bar made everything run smoothly. Seeing all the smiling faces from the customers, seeing people try this world class beer for the first time and their reactions to it, seeing so many people just so happy to be here... you genuinely can't put a price on it ❤
A massive thank you to everyone who came along and made the event so special and a huge thanks to Patrick from Delirium Brewery and Jim from Cave Direct. If you've still got a craving for Delirium, don't worry because we still have the Delirium competition on until January 1st, simply ask for a stamp card at the bar and get stamping!
'Twas the night before Delirium Day, when all through the pub Not a patron was stirring, not even a lush; The bottles were stocked in the fridges with care, In hopes that Patrick van Leijsen soon would be there; The bar staff were nestled all snug in their beds; Because this time tomorrow we'll be off our heads.'
Happy Delirium Day Eve one and all. Sleep well my previous cherubs, for tomorrow is Delirium Day!

Delirium Day is just too good to be over in 1 day so we had this crazy idea to do a Delirium promotion throughout THE ENTIRE MONTH of December! Starting tomorrow and ending January 1st, buy any Delirium product to collect a stamp, 6 stamps equates to one entry, every entry is a chance to win Delirium... tshirts, windbreakers, hats, socks, caps, rucksacks, books, and of course Delirium's The Big One Magnum bottle!
A big thank you to Cave Direct for facilitating this event. If you're a bar looking for a great supplier give Cave a shout!
Twas the night before Delirium Day, When all through The Sportsman, Customers were drinking whisky... Their dram was Ardnamurchan!
That took more effort than I'd like to admit to write that poem 😅 IT'S DRAM CLUB DAY! This week's offering is as wonderful as it is hard to pronounce: Ardnamurchan AD/!
A fruity, sweet single malt from Ardnamurchan distillery, AD/ was made with a combination of peated and un-peated malt and matured in both ex-bourbon casks and ex-sherry casks. Aromas of toasted marshmallows, pebble beaches, orange oil and popcorn fill the nose, complemented by notes of melted chocolate, marshmallow, lime cordial, sea salt, bitter orange, dark chocolate and salted popcorn throughout the palate.

Twas the night before Delirium Day,
When all through The Sportsman,
Customers were drinking whisky...
Their dram was Ardnamurchan!
