  • 5/5 Rod C. 4 years ago on Google
    Read a few of the reviews on Google and was really hungry after a night of drinking. I walked up and saw two people sitting outside. it was too hot for me to sit outside so I walked in and surprisingly the place was empty. I motioned for a table for 1 and was told I could sit anywhere. it was my choice since the place was empty. I made a jovial comment "not sure if that is a good thing or not". The hostess smiled and said don't worry. it was morning so I orders the Sportsman special which came with eggs (any style), hash browns, toast, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, coffee and baked beans. I also ordered a bottle of water and a pineapple smoothie. Order came out in a reasonable time. Food was fresh and very tasty. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. When I finished eating, I asked if I could take a picture of the staff. They giggled and agreed. They were very beautiful!!! Breakfast was great so I will be back for a lunch or dinner while I am here.

    Maybe the best breakfast in Pattaya? The full English is not for those with little appetite. Expensive maybe, but considering what you get i would say worth it. Also very good place for lunch and dinner. Fast and friendly service. My go to place for many years when i want a decent breakfast.

    My first visit here was 20 years ago and it still stands as the only breakfast I couldn't finish. Today I enjoyed the Sunday Carvery. Everything was spot on, just lovely. The cheesey cauliflower was a stand out as well as the onion gravy. I had 3 big plates and sampled everything except for the kidney stuff. The staff were fun and courteous.

    Based on overwhelmingly good reviews I tried the Lamb Roast here. The yorkshire pudding was nice and soft, the roast potatoes were crispy and browned near perfect, the vegetables not overdone but timed well with a solid crunch, and the stuffing was fantastically savory, all topped with a hearty gravy. The lamb itself however was a huge disappointment; it was tough, and lacked any flavor. Especially taking a bite of it after a mouthful of the savory stuffing - the meat was just terribly bland. I don't recommend this dish. +1: Staff are all really friendly and hospitable; very good English too.

    I always visit this pub while in Pattaya for the past 15 years. Wide selection of food and very tastefull. Its not only an relaxed "pub", the food here qualify this place as one of the best restaurants in town. Yesterday I tried their spareribs. The meat easy fell off the bones. Good taste!

    Stopped by for a quick beer. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise. They had a good variety of beers including some wheat beers, ale and stout. It was not very loud when compared with other bars in Pattaya. The seating was comfortable and cold beer served quickly. A nice place that one would like to visit again.

  • 5/5 frans a. 6 years ago on Google
    Usually I have my breakfast here at about 2PM. If hungry, I go for Full English Breakfast, including toast with marmelade and coffee or tea, 195 Baht. If not so hungry, I order scrambled eggs with salmon on toast, also 195 Baht. Coffee or tea 50 Baht extra (with free refill). Maybe not cheapest in town, but quality is always good. I prefer to sit outside, but only three tables there, so sometimes I have to go inside, which is also very pleasant, if you don't smoke. Sometimes I think 'I have to go somewhere else for a change'. But then I ask myself 'Why should I?

    Quality British style boozer in a quiet street in Central Pattaya. The all you can eat Sunday carvery is the best you can find in Pattaya. The staff have a good laugh and make you feel welcome

    We always go here when in Pattaya. The service is always fantastic and friendly. The food is amazing. It has indoor seating which has plenty of sports on multiple TV's and air-conditioning. There is seating for smokers outside. The owner was there last time we ate and stopped by our table, very nice touch. The dish in the picture is the Cottage Pie.

    I took a lamb kebab, with a pint of Tiger, and finished with an espresso coffee. On the quiet terrasse, with a morning chill breeze. not cheap, but I don't regret any baht, I felt like in Heaven (or Holidays in Covid times)

  • 5/5 Mzi M. 1 year ago on Google
    The Sportsman bar completely blew our minds. The food was amazing and the portions were massive! There are plenty of classic British, Mexican, and Thai dishes to pick from. There also are British selections of drinks such as cider which is great. The owner seems like a great person, he held a quiz night the night we went. It was fun to join in and listen too whilst eating. The staff were also very professional and helpful with their services. Highly recommended as a pub to visit to have a chat or or a nice meal.

    British pub with many sports games to watch. They have specials during week. The Carvary buffet if a great value offering roast meat, lamb, pork, chicken and two kinds of soup. Lots of vegtables meat pie and dessert. It's probably one of the best places to satisfy any carnivore.

    I have been here 3 times. Twice for the Friday buffet and once for the Sunday buffet. I enjoyed the Sunday one because of the various meats but Fridays pizza and pasta was great to.

  • 5/5 Jain G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Perfect place. Tasty beer. Friendly staff. In general, everything is very good for Pattaya 😁 which was very surprising is the portions, they are huge, you can safely take one for two. Prices, by the way, are not high enough. Based on the foregoing, I recommend a pub to visit. Welcome ) (Original) Отличное место. Вкусное пиво. Приветливый персонал. В общем все очень даже хорошо для Паттайи 😁 что очень удивило, так это порции, они огромные ,можно брать смело одну на двоих. Цены ,кстати, достаточно не высокие. Исходя из всего вышесказанного рекомендую паб к посещению. Добро пожаловать )

  • 5/5 Scott C. 1 year ago on Google
    Ten years ago I had my first Roast of the Day at The Sportsman. Today was probably my 50 roast, unchanged in both size and quality over the decade. Perfect! Oh yeah and the beer is cold and the staff are friendly.

    Best club sandwich ever and even the french fries were yummie. Kind and attentive staff.

  • 5/5 Gary H. 5 months ago on Google
    There's only one thing you need to know; The food is outstanding and don't hesitate to come here. Got a hangover or just missing food back home? The sportsman breakfast is perfect and I couldn't fault it at all! As for the daily roast, it's a generous serving and the Yorkshire pudding (my most important part) is truly homemade and just like home. A couple more roast potatoes would be perfect but you can't have everything! I'll be back a couple more times before I leave for home.

  • 5/5 DAVID C. 2 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Bayrider J. 2 years ago on Google
    I had Thanksgiving dinner here and came down with a stomach ache. I really do not know what it is attributed to. The chef kept coming by my table and touching and commenting my food. I really do not understand that. I have never seen a cook come by my table and touch the food! He had the blue color heavy plastic gloves hand and kept coming by and touching my food. This is without any prompting from me! Overall a rather not too pleasant experience last night.

  • 5/5 Aaron H. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered grab food from this restaurant for the family and I for the first time and I must say the quality and quantity we received was absolutely fantastic. I look forward to visiting the restaurant for dining out in the future to come. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Tom R. 1 year ago on Google
    It was Sunday so had the carvery. Good value at B450. Good selection of meats and vegetables. Cauliflower cheese deserves special mention. They serve Guinness and at B250 thought I'll try it. Only problem was trying to keep it cold as I was sitting outside. Not as good as at home but went down well.

  • 5/5 MatildaVaux 1 year ago on Google
    Their Friday Buffet is worth it. Everything tastes good. Wouldn’t trade it with other Italian restaurants. ❤️🥰

  • 4/5 Be K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice cozy spot to have a meal and a wide variety of beverages. I had the roast pork and it was okay, not as good as I’m used to but I can understand if it’s not purchased often there are shortcuts necessary to keep it on the menu. I’ll return to try another dish another day. Popular spot for white foreigners with the comfort foods on the menu, sports on display, laid back music and indoor or outdoor dining. There looked to be a father and son playing a little friendly game of pool and the staff provides excellent service. Sorry, I forgot to take a photo of my meal before I ate it up.

    Had the Fish and Chips. Cod was nicely battered but I'm knocking a star off for them serving it with frozen french fries ! Surely a restaurant that prides itself on serving authentic English food should give you home made freshly cut chips .

  • 3/5 Wade and P. 3 years ago on Google
    Went here on two occasions. First, was breakfast and thought it was good food so returned for lunch a few days later. Ordered our food and drinks... They brought out our beers... 10 min later they tell us the food we ordered wasn't in stock. I had come here specifically for the burger I seen on menu from breakfast. We looked over menu and didn't see anything else. Here we were stuck with 3/4 beer and it was getting late. Ultimately left the beers behind to find food before it got too late. Should probably check stock of what people order before getting beers to the table. Paid for beers I wouldn't of ordered if the food I wanted wasn't available. I'd recommend everyone ask if they have what ya want before ordering drinks
