Top 5 sports you can watch at a Hungry Horse sports pub
Sport has the ability to bring us together. It’s the thrill of a game and the passionate spirit of competition.
Gather with a crowd to cheer on your favourite team or throw your support behind a skilled player. Witness nail-biting tension as two top contenders battle it out, the mind-blowing displays of grit and guts, or those unforgettable comebacks from the underdog.
From pitches to fields, courts, and tracks, cheer on the big wins and commiserate the losses. And at Hungry Horse, we think there’s no better place to do it than a sports pub.
The pub is better than the pitch
Ok, hear us out on this one. Sure, there’s something special about the buzz of a live game. Seeing the players right before your eyes, feeling the electricity in the air, and hearing the roar of the stadium crowd around you.
But there’s also eye-watering ticket prices, nosebleed seats that require binoculars just to see what’s happening, freezing cold temperatures to grin and bear, and crowded waits for the train home after. It can often feel like an own goal.
Live sport is best enjoyed in a crowd, but why bother with the pitch when there’s the pub?
Get a great view of the action from the large screens, enjoy a frosty pint, cheeky cocktail, or crisp glass of wine as you watch. Feeling peckish? Tuck into a bite to eat or treat yourself to a full-on feast. Fancy a slice of pud alongside your penalties? Who is gonna stop you?
You can enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow customers, cheering on the wins together, and riding out the lows. This isn’t just a sport, it’s an event. So make it memorable.

Fun for the whole family
We’re a great sports pub for the whole family. Kids can blow off some steam in our outdoor play areas or head to one of our pubs with a Wacky Warehouse soft play centre and keep one eye on them and another on the game. Sunny day? Why not swing by one of our pubs with a beer garden and enjoy some al fresco feasting? Plenty of our pubs have screens outside too, so you can enjoy the sporting thrill in the fresh air.
Football
Often named ‘the world’s sport’, football truly is the beautiful game. Whether you’re cheering on your beloved team or your nation’s squad, those 90-minutes can feel like pure magic. The Premier League has a global reach of over 200 countries, but there’s also the World Cup and The UEFA European Football Championship that both take part every four years, uniting England fans in the hope that football may one day come home! Stop by your local Hungry Horse to witness every moment on our screens. From kick off to final whistle.
