We went to the Highwayman in to celebrate my dad’s birthday, who is now in his mid 70s, knew that any place that does carvery on a Sunday can be busy so made the call to book a table of 10. The lady who answer the phone was really accommodating, explain it was a large group in before us, so we amended our time accordingly..
When we arrived, the welcome was warm and friendly. They Carney put us in a small room on the top of the stairs, which is perfect as it was incredibly busy as a half an hour wait for food, but it didn’t matter for us because we were taking her time catching up with each other. .
In the day we went was the first day of them starting a delivery service so it’s really really busy. I think it was a little bit annoying. Was them serving up the delivery packages in tinfoil as you are queueing as you could see that that food was going out quicker than those in the pub.
My suggestion would be that they said this app in the kitchen. Not only would it benefit them because of the small space at the front of the customers as they wouldn’t see 6 to 8, please being dished up while waiting for yours.
Another suggestion, which may work or not would be for the meat to be carved up at the back as well and there might be an issue a temperature here and keeping me warm but again when you’re really busy just try to think of a quick and official leave serving people their dinner .
Overall, everybody we dealt with her incredibly friendly. The food was lovely from cauliflower cheese, carrots, red cabbage, Yorkshire puddings potatoes, parsnips peas and not forgetting the meat which was ham beef pork and turkey and chicken I think .
Absolutely loved food here. It tastes hommade! Good old hearty food with a lot of options too.
Very best of traditional English cuisine.
If somebody would ask me I'd call it "on the road gastro pub"
Lovely warm and homely place the foo was first class and worth the value the staff were amazing and very helpful full the drinks were lovely fair price and well worth the visit
