The last time I was in this pub, I was on my knees with my uncle pouring Sambuca in my open mouth and lighting it. This was my cousins Stag Night some years ago and The Sportsman was considerably quieter on this return visit.
Situated on a roundabout at the top of Scots Hill the Sportsman is one of those pubs that you pass many times, but rarely stop in for a pint.
On our trip to visit Northwood we called in briefly to sample The Marlow Brewery's Rebellion Smuggler (4.2%) followed by Dark Star's Revelation (5.7%).
The Smuggler was an amber coloured bitter, which had a lovely smooth finish. The Revelation was much stronger but a lighter tasting American Pale Ale.
No frills but a worthy 3/5.
