nice to see the sportsman in good hands,would have been a shame if chris took it back.he left because the black horse was so good and could not compete.sportsman is now fresh clean with good menu and was nice to see all the old faces back.very nice place to go on a nice day because of the views and the evening is good because of the food.i think its the only place to go in amberley as black horse is finished. went past last saturday and only 3 people in there,says it all really. good luck sportsman. molly

Went there a couple of weeks ago. Was not too impressed with the pub itself, bit smokey and was not too nice. But we had a meal and it was really nice. The landlord was also very friendly.

Visited Sunday 28 January for lunch, very good. On the bar, four real ales and a wide selection of good lagers and wines at very reasonable prices. Food, my wife had lamb and I had beef - all cooked perfectly and the sweet (fruit crumble) was to walk on hot coals for. The only criticism, the poor old chef got a bit unlucky with the yorkshire puddings! To the tourist, not easy to find but if you are visiting the Amberley Industrial Museum then this is all round better value for money compared to anything on the main road. We will go again - 8/10

Went to a wedding reception a few miles away and stayed here. Nice atmosphere, incredible views and friendly bar staff.
I agree the 'tea room conservatory' could be better but it's nice to sit outside and the views more than make up for it!

Although not very appealing from the outside it's quite cosy inside with a bit of character. Staff are friendly. Food is ok. View from the conservatory or terrace is very nice - wetlands area, we saw deer.
Going against the grain of opinion here we preferred it to The Black Horse.

No atmosphere, horrible place. They did us a favour, when after phoning to ensure that there were tables free for dinner, we arrived to find no space. Head to the Black Horse!

Must echo previous comments. A very sad demise of a once great pub.I never thought I would prefer the Black Horse.

Went this pub after reading about it in the good pub guide. Big mistake! a horrible pub stayed for a quick pint then straight out. There are a couple of tables by the bar with some appalling new age art on the walls for sale, hideous (made a dull room look like a crime scene). Main seating area is in an ajoining conservatory to left of the bar, looks horrible, bit like a tea room almost. The view out the window is very nice but pub its self lacks any kind of distinctive feature of interest, doesnt even feel like a pub to me. Somewhat disjointed and deadpan atmosphere. All the ales were off except London Pride which tasted abit off aswell. Horror of a pub, certainly won't return. Try if you wish, not worth the time if you ask me.
