The Sportsman in Seasalter has been named one of Britain's top 10 best gastropubs in Britain for a sixth time at the Estrella Damm Top 50 Gastropubs Awards.

The Shepherd Neame-owned pub, run by brothers Stephen and Phil Harris, took sixth place in the list announced yesterday (Monday, January 24) at a ceremony in Manchester.

Hundreds of votes were cast to determine the Top 50 by industry experts including food critics and writers, gastropub chefs and other food influencers.

The Sportsman, which has held a Michelin star since 2008, has previously topped the list in 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2021.

Judges praised Head Chef Stephen Harris' menu for being sourced almost exclusively from the land surrounding the pub. Describing his mission to 'religiously reflect the pub's surrounding geography, history and produce', they praised how he picks seaweed from the adjoining beach; makes his own salt from the sea, and uses meat from local farms.
