Great food, simple menu of british classics with great open fires and service to match.
Surprised
Had Lancashire Hotpot - very little meat nor carrots. It did have a good enough taste and the sliced potato on top well done.

WOW, went to the Highwayman yesterday 28/08/11 and the food, selection of drinks and attentiveness was spot on. I've not enjoyed a meal out as much in a long time - what a little gem!
I had the roast beef Sunday lunch, the rib of beef was sublime and my partner had the duck, not too strong with a lovely garlic potato gratin.
Thank You

Food average, service slow, if as much effort went into delivering great food as they put into marketing and telling you the grid reference of what was on your plate was reared, it would be fantastic

Went here on Sunday lunchtime, car-park was almost full but we got seated straight away. The staff are all lovely, welcoming - all smiling. The price of the food was very reasonable for the quality of what was served. Everything we had was sublime. Even the drinks weren't too pricy - £2.25 for a cappuccino with a slab of Grasmere gingerbread was really good for a pub with great food as you often find they hike the drinks up. We paid £53 + tip for 3 courses, two pints, two soft drinks & a cappuccino - very good price for what we got, and we couldn't eat another bite all day!!

12 noon Thursday 6th March 2008 found us on the Car Park of this lovely place which used to be a 'watering-hole' for my wife and me in our 1960's courting years. 12.03pm found us in the establishment, warmly welcomed and left to find our own table for two by a lovely fire. A relaxed drink whilst ordering our meal was complemented by the pleasant personal service. We were lucky. At 12.30pm, most all of the tables were in use and, this isn't a small place. Fish and Chips was the order of the day for us and lovely they were. We were more than satisfied with our service and meal and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys good local 'fayre'. As for the 'fish un chips' this could only be equalled by the Ship Hotel at Elswick on the Fylde and the Greyhound at Halton near Lancaster.

Arrived at 2 on easter Monday and there was still a 20-minute wait. Just goes to show that if you do things right people will come, no matter where it is. Good comfort food sourced from local suppliers served efficiently in pleasant surroundings. Not rocket science but you have to wonder why so few pubs get it right. Recommended -- along with sister pub The Three Fishes near Clitheroe.

as at the three fishes, i really object to having to part with my credit card on arrival, then at these prices have to go to the till and order yourself. I did write a letter of complaint, but alas, no one could be bothered to reply !

Fantastic food after a long walk. Service impeccable, food cooked perfectly and great to see the use of local produce. Couldn't be better.
