What they say

A hidden gem, a proper pub, friendly staff, great pizzas, good range of beers, and plenty of screens to watch football, whats not to love!!

Thomas Hore

Popped in on my way home and had a pint of Butcombe Original. Enjoyed it so much I had another! Good beer and friendly service is what a good pub is all about.

John Treloar

Fantastic pub in a great location. Superb for watching any sport.

Damien Bryane

A real great hidden but not so hidden pub on Gloucester Road! Always a nice atmosphere and nice staff on the bar. Only tried the burgers and can say they’re the best burgers I’ve ever had. Fair play to Fattso! Can’t wait to go back in the summer and experience the outside seating!

Adriana Jones

Simply put a great pub. Lots of pool tables, easy to get one during the week or arrive early on the weekend. Affordable pints and great pizzas with deals in the week. Lots of TV screens for watching sports which shows all the main games live. Great outdoor area for smoking, drinking and watching sports on the big TV. Great annexe area for even more seating. Music selection is always really good here, never generic pop music. Darts boards upstairs.

Connor Andrews

Lovely, friendly pub with great pizzas and burgers. 8 pool tables, darts, dog friendly and 2 pubs, main pub sportsman and an annexe pub with a friendly more family vibe, 2 beer gardens and friendly staff. Come check this pub out! 👍🏽
