The Sportsman

The Sportsman

Welcome to The Sportsman, a friendly and welcoming pub situated in the heart of Preston Village. We are proud to offer the perfect combination of proper home-cooked food, warm hospitality and excellent value for money. Whether you are joining us for a relaxed lunch, an evening meal, a traditional Sunday roast or simply a drink with friends, our aim is to make every visit enjoyable and memorable.
 
Fresh food is at the heart of what we do. Our chefs are passionate about preparing hearty, honest dishes using quality ingredients, with meals cooked fresh to order wherever possible. We endeavour to source as much of our produce from the UK as we can, supporting British farmers, growers and local suppliers. Our menus celebrate pub favourites and contemporary dishes while also offering lighter and seasonal specials with plenty of choice for different tastes and appetites.
 
We understand how important it is to provide choices for everyone. Our menu includes vegetarian and vegan dishes, as well as a wide range of gluten-free options. Our team will always be happy to explain the choices available and discuss individual dietary requirements or allergies before ordering.
 
The Sportsman is more than somewhere to eat—it is a proper community pub with plenty of character. Our outdoor area features colourful work created by local artist Mark-One87, together with sheltered, canopy-covered and heated seating. It provides a distinctive and comfortable place to enjoy food and drinks throughout the year.
 
We believe great pub food should be freshly prepared, generously portioned and reasonably priced. During North Tyneside Restaurant Week, we invite you to visit The Sportsman, discover our food and experience the friendly service for which we are known. Whether you are already one of our regular customers or you are visiting us for the first time, you can expect a great service, delicious food and proper North East hospitality.
