Help - Where To Watch The F1 On Sunday Nr Heathrow?!

[356Speedster]

Here's a random one for you.... my wife & I are off on holiday this Sunday (27th Sept), flying from Heathrow @ 6:30pm. We live in the Midlands and will be coming down the M40.

What I'm looking for is somewhere (a nice sports bar?) between Heathrow & maybe Oxford, where we can pull over, have a meal and watch the Singapore F1 race. Can anyone recommend anywhere? T5 don't have any sports bars listed on their website, so I don't want to risk getting to Heathrow super early & being disappointed / trapped!

Any advice from you guys would be much appreciated... if you can name any bars, I'll give 'em a ring and get an answer.

Thanks, Mark

One of the hotel airport bars would be a good bet I'd have thought..

That's what I thought, but so far, none of them have committed to knowing what they're planning on showing The phone calls continue, in lieu of any local knowledge from fellow PH'ers!!

Yates in bicester, but thats probably a massive long shot, they usually have footy on though.

If you want to be near the airport then you could try The Jolly Waggoner on the A4.

I often pop in there for a beer at lunch-time and the landlord is a decent enough chap and the beer's always in good nick.
Give him a call just to make sure he has the F1 on tho

Are Mercedes Benz world still showing them, not a sports bar but you can get fed there and stuff.

The Monkeys Forehead in egham would be my bet, but it can be very studenty at times and it is threshers week.

Yet another pub I pass every single day but have never stopped in.

Why not suggest an evening of drinking there then?
