Sportsman Pub in West Bromwich

13 High St, West Bromwich B70 6PP

About This Pub

Ah, the Sportsman – it's one of those pubs that feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what folks are saying, the food really steals the show; think succulent mixed grills and flavoursome curries that leave you wanting more, all at prices that won't dent your wallet. It's been family-run for over 20 years, which gives it that homely feel where you're treated like a regular from the get-go. The drinks menu is spot on too, with plenty to choose from to wash down your meal. On the flip side, it does get heaving during big football matches, so you might end up jostling for space, and if Indian-inspired fare isn't your thing, the options could feel a tad limited. Still, it's a solid spot for a casual catch-up or a bite with friends – I'd say it's worth popping in for the experience.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The food is absolutely brilliant, especially the curries and mixed grills – they're packed with flavour and always hit the spot
Prices are really reasonable, making it a wallet-friendly option for a night out without skimping on quality
It's a family-run spot with a warm, welcoming vibe that's perfect for catching up with mates over a pint
They've got a great upstairs function room for parties or events, which adds a nice touch for special occasions
Wide range of drinks on offer, from beers to spirits, so you can easily pair something with your meal

Cons

It can get pretty crowded on match days, which might make it tricky to grab a table or enjoy a quiet chat
The menu leans heavily towards Indian dishes, so if you're after something more varied, it might not be your first choice
With closing time at 11 PM, it's not the best for those late-night sessions when you fancy lingering a bit longer

Great spot for a curry or a mixed grill, traditional Indian food for a fair price, highly recommended

One of few places that grill above charcoal now, the pork steak and chicken tikka are fantastic

Back to excellent standards. Been many years since I was last here but glad we have gone back. One of the oldest and original tikka bar and grills in the area and again worthy of its strong reputation. Good quality food, well presented and good value (by today's prices).

Fantastic food, four of us split a mixed grill, butter chicken, chicken jalfreze, rice, and naans. We enjoyed everything, but the onion bagee was my personal favourite.

A lot of nostalgia and memories involved when discussing this Desi-Pub. I've had many great nights in here over the last 20 years, to the soundtrack of the Punjabi songs on the jukebox! Also been in on West Bromwich Albion match days when it's absolutely packed. Quite busy when big matches are on tv too. Food-wise, it's one of the original Desi-Pubs where people have been going for a Mixi. It may not always be to the taste of newer people in the mixed grill scene, but a lot of us older guys love it. Visited recently for the first time in years and was surprised that they've finally introduced table service. There had previously been occasions where I've ordered over £200 worth of food in a big group of lads, and we'd been made by the chef to collect it all ourselves! It's still the same main chef there though. Good selection of drinks. Noticed the prices have gone up a fair bit, but that's just life at the moment with almost everywhere. Bar area is great for chilling out with a beer, playing pool etc. Separate restaurant area is very comfy with big booths for large groups. Big outside space too for smokers or drinking in the summer.
