25 - Sportsman-winners-edit
It was a double win for The Sportsman pub in Kent this year, after it managed to pick up both the Gastropub of the Year gong (sponsored by Estrella Damm), and the overall prize of National Restaurant of the Year, coming in at number one on the coveted 100-spot list.
Stefan Chomka, editor of Restaurant magazine, said: “It might not look like much from the outside, but The Sportsman is a magnificent place and Stephen Harris a well deserving recipient of this award. The Sportman’s journey to the top of this list highlights the eclecticism of today’s eating out market and proves that you don’t need slick PR, cutting edge restaurant design or a flashy London postcode to run an establishment that’s best in class.”
