    Still great food but they seemed a bit short staffed this time so the service was much slower - I hope this isn’t the beginning of the end :(

    We loved everything about our roast dinner Sunday at the Sporting Club, from the tasty food and the generous portions to the friendly staff and atmosphere - the pub fit out is great too, a lovely spot to have a quiet wine.

    Very ambient pub atmosphere. We were seated in the quiet section of the pub hotel as we had a large booking. Service was attentive. Food did take a little long to cone out but they apologised and we were offered free fries Food quality was great and portion size was good. Drinks were reasonably priced. We will definitely return.

    Sophie our host was lovely. It was a very busy night but she took the time to have a chat with us. I ordered the fish burger and it was yummo! Great ambience - all in all a great night
