The Sportsman

Monday, October 05, 2009 - The next seafood dish, a crab risotto, was probably the best risotto I've ever eaten in my life. It wasn't just the superbly seasoned mixture, the confidently straightforward presentation or the perfectly-judged portion size. No, what most impressed me was the way they had used the brown meat to make the rice mixture and topped it with a generous portion of the sweet white meat on top...But what was most impressive about the Sportsman, aside from their attention to detail, generosity of spirit and effortlessly charming service, is the fact that at its heart, it's still just a local pub that happens to serve incredible food.
