Restaurant at The Sportsman's Arms — Restaurant in Great Britain

Fantastic food and a stunning location. Building is also very pretty and well maintained. Service started a bit iffy, I wanted to sit outside and there was only one other table occupied, I was very abruptly told I needed a table number, like I had just committed the greatest sin of the 21st century. After resolving my crime of the century my food was delivered to the table, a nice beef sandwich and chips.....no asking if I would like any sauces for my chips or anything like that, you get what you're given. Can't tell if this is because I wasn't a local or if it's because I'm a biker and it's an upmarket establishment.....which is funny because my Harley was worth more than 90% of the cars in the car park.....but I digress. When I went back in for a second drink, service picked up, I was asked if I enjoyed my meal and staff were friendlier this time.

I had a three course and by the end I was full and happy, which I guess you should expect. I think this place would suit many people especially if you’re thinking of a special meal with a...

Most will think before 5 stars are awarded to a venue of any kind. Well talking to a stranger who had driven one hour to eat at this wonderful Sportsmans arms made the recommendation sound to be the place to eat if you really want to enjoy superbe service, food and setting. Menu can be seen online and prices for staying in this old but tastefully decorated and garden layout. It's just one of those places one will never forget. We went back the next day for lunch it was that good the night before. Not the lowest in price but not the most expensive either, and the food quality is as the saying goes. You get what...
