The Sportsman’s Rest has been a beloved part of Porchfield since 1857. Popular with locals, and the perfect stop for walkers & cyclists this characterful pub is steeped in history. Reopened by the current tenants in 2023, this traditional village pub offers everything you’d hope for in a classic countryside retreat. They offer three real ales on the pump, usually with a locally brewed ale on offer, as well as a selection of bottled beers. You can also enjoy a classic pub menu with homemade meals. A rural pub.
