First rate service food is what you would expect from a high end restaurant. Can’t rate it enough have been there several times with friends who live locally and use it regularly. Look forward to our next visit.

I attended a wedding reception in the blazing September sunshine in the absolutely stunning setting of The Highwayman garden. It is a truly beautiful spot with breathtaking views of the open countryside along with an extremely well planted and tended garden. I have titled this...review faultless because it was. The Highwayman staff were utterly amazing with first class attentive, efficient service alongside the most delicious food. It was without doubt faultless and I highly recommend this establishment.More

Can't fault this experience at all. We shared a starter on a previous recommendation in order to enjoy our main courses, Halibut and Rabbit pie, delicious. Had room for a shared dessert too, honeycomb cheesecake, yummy. Will definitely return, 2 course Sunday lunch sounds good.

Went back for lunch after a business meeting. Asked for a quieter table & we went through to the spacious back bar which was ideal. Service very attentive despite it being pretty busy. The menu was varied & enticing. We had home made scotch egg...which was excellent but very filling making the tremendous open pies hard but enjoyable to finish afterwards. No room for desserts but the staff were very keen to know that we had enjoyed our meals and we left feeling full and thoroughly well served.More

Not surprised that this pub has become so popular. Very friendly and helpful team of staff, excellent menu choice, probably with something to suit most tastes. Yes, there are probably more elaborate food establishments nearby, but this gets my 5* award for overall combination of...food quality, staff and value for money Would certainly not hesitate to recommend.More

We had an excellent lunch today. I can thoroughly recommend the Guinea Foul, my husband had a steak both extremely good. Very friendly staff. A very enjoyable lunch and very good coffee! Thank you.

Went to this wonderful place on9th July for Sunday lunch. It was beyond excellent. Superb food. We were a table of friends and family and everyone agreed best Sunday lunch they'd ever had. Would definitely recommend.

I had not been to The Highwayman since I left The Oratory School as a pupil in 1976. 6 th formers were allowed to visit The Highwayman in those days which we did as often as funds allowed. Not surprisingly it has changed dramatically over...the intervening years. It is now a wonderful pub with excellent food and service. The beers are still as good as I remember and the patio terrace above the pub is a great addition and an ideal place to eat on a warm summers evening. Lovely to return and remind myself of the misspent hours at The Highwayman.More

Let’s do the good points first. From the outside the Highwayman is a quaint little pub but inside it’s a veritable Tardis with several, well decorated rooms and tables placed a decent distance apart. Overall this creates a pleasing atmosphere. The staff were attentive and...helpful and the service, in general, could not be faulted. For a mid-week lunch there is a good selection of dishes and the prices, considering we are in inflationary 2023, seemed fair. However…. we were both underwhelmed with the food. I have no doubt the chef knows how to cook and present a dish well. But my garlic mushroom starter was pieces of chopped up mushroom in a soup (they give a spoon with the dish) swimming in an over-creamed sauce, with no trace of garlic whatsoever. My main course of rabbit pie came, as a previous report mentions, with an open top, so not really a pie. There were minuscule amounts of rabbit in it and what there was could hardly be tasted as, once again, it was awash in an over-powering cream sauce. The same one I wonder as my mushrooms? My partner often makes a rabbit pie (she gets the rabbit from Vicars not 12 miles away) which is much tastier and filled with meat. So relatively this was very poor but in absolute standards poor as well. A pity and I could not recommend the place based on this experience.More

Sunday lunch was absolutely delicious . Tender beef perfectly cooked. Magnificent Yorkshires. This is fantastic food at a good price. I would recommend it. Great veg and starters as well desert. Apple pie was yummy.

All I can say is fantastic!!! We had my fathers funeral wake here. Louise, Poppy and there team did an exceptional job. Food was great along with the service. Can not recommend enough!!!!!

Great service, delicious food. A great experience. The only reason I didn’t give this a 5 is because the spotlights really let the historical pub down decor wise….
