The BLACK SHEEP GASTROPUB, owned and operated by local restaurateur and realtor, Kenny Breedlove, has quickly established itself as the go-to restaurant for pub fare that is popular in England, Ireland, and America.  It’s a full-scale restaurant that is helping to make the Redding Sports Park a destination, even if you’re not attending a sports event. 

According to its Facebook page, the BLACK SHEEP GASTROPUB’s menu features a variety of options, including finger-lickin’ good chicken fingers, cheeseburgers with melted cheese, and hand/cut fries, plus kids’ fish options, with some awesome local flavor like Elwood Ranch Beef, R&R Meats, and Lulu’s Jams and Jellies.  And, as Breedlove says, “The vibe is right, especially since we’ve added a game room, with games such as Jet Pong, and it’s all coming together for something special right here in our community.”

This special welcoming ceremony, which was held on Thursday, April 16, 2026, was also attended by the following Shasta County businesses and entities:  Poke The Hornet’s Nest, Shasta Biz.com, Shark Law, Sundial Assisted Living, Big Bike WeekEnd, Hells Angels, Nelly’s Tasty Bread, Sovereign Marketing, Mary O’s Table Top Advertising, Upstate Hearing Instruments, A-1 Tree Service, Sunbelt Rentals, Hayward Auto Detailing, Suberama, Biggin’s
