Contemporary-styled pub situated on the edge of Deal.

Despite the colour wash exterior, the building dates from 1683 and was originally a cottage for local farm workers under the Manor of Sholden (later licensed as a pub in 1836).

Entering through the front door you find yourself in a contemporary-styled pub with the large central bar surrounded by the main bar area and a small snug to the right.

At the back there is a large patio/garden overlooking the grounds of Walmer Cricket Club and Deal Hockey Club.

Their real ale offering invariably features a Kent brewery, with the occasional beer from further afield..

Traditional "Pub Grub" is served from Ploughman's lunches to cottage pie and lamb shank. On Sunday they serve up a Sunday Roast.

A variety of entertainment is on offer including quizzes, karaoke, live music & darts.Kent’s Public House Archive: Sportsman, SholdenPhotos courtesy of Sportsman, Sholden.
