“ UPDATED 28 APRIL 2021: Sportsman's Arms is my ‘go-to’ place on a Thursday evening, especially since it is within walking distance of my place at Rihan Heights. The food is always good and it’s a lively place to have a few drinks and a good meal. I have never had a bad experience at Sportsman's Arms. The service is usually pretty good. I usually go on a Thursday evening and select the ‘all you can eat and drink’ package that runs between 7PM and 10PM. That always works out to be good value for money. I, and three colleagues, visited again on Wednesday, 28 April, for my birthday for their regular Wednesday evening steak night. The food was good and although the place was reasonably quiet we enjoyed the evening. Our friend, the General Manager, Francois, always takes good care of the guests. I have no hesitation in recommending Sportsman's Arms for your fun evening out. PREVIOUS COMMENTS ------ A chilled local eating place, walking distance from Rihan Heights. A regular spot for a reasonably quiet Thursday evening. Good food and drinks and service. ”
