"We often come here for Sunday carvery which is very good so thought we would try an evening meal for my Mum's birthday. I am afraid the overall service let down the whole experience. When we arrived, instead of being taken to our table by the waitress, she just pointed and said you are at that table over there. After being to a busy bar area to get our drinks we found out that the 2 waitress standing around did not take orders so we had to go back to the busy bar again and wait to give our food orders. When the food came it was very good, especially my seafood platter. Everyone thought the food was good except for my Mum who had gone for one of the specials. It was so poor especially for being a special. She had one tiny piece of fish with no sauce, 4-5 very small new potato's, a few carrots and a few bits of broccoli. All the veg was hard and there was not enough to satisfy even a person with the smallest appetite. We told the waitress about the hard veg but she just said oh right and there was no apology. When we spoke to the chap at the bar and said why don't the waitress take the orders he said he liked people to come to the bar so the staff could meet them. We all felt this was a lame reason and probably did not trust the teenage waitresses to take the orders. It is a real shame as the place is lovely and the food generally is pretty good but is missing a professional touch. We said we would not return for an evening meal but just stick to the Sunday Carvery."

The food was decent, but the service was quite slow. The staff seemed very young and inexperienced, which made the experience a bit frustrating. We had to keep calling them for drinks and other things. While they were friendly enough, it was clear that they were still learning the ropes. I'm confident they will improve with time.

I have used the Highwaymans a lot as I live nearby , and I have to say having changed hands recently it was the best meal we have had for a long time, friendly staff , good ambiance, and most importantly they allow dogs in the restaurant which for a dog walker it's lovely to be in the warm rather than having to eat outside, highly recommend this place .

I visited for the first time and was very impressed by the decor and ambiance as soon as I walked in. We sat on beautiful sofas and chatted while going through the menu. The food was delightful, and after eating, we returned to the sofas to finish our drinks and continue our conversation. The atmosphere was very relaxing. I found it so appealing that I can't wait to return and have already recommended it to friends and family. View menu

First visit with friends. Lovely meal. So many things we would have liked, but had to ration ourselves so will definitely be visiting again soon. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice surroundings and ambience. I would have been happy to stay and sit on one of the sofas with a pot of tea and a book! Would definitely recommend to friends. In fact our friends were talking about coming back in the week with relatives so they may have even been today...

I would absolutely recommend this little gem of a pub to anyone. You'll need to drive to get to it and we went out our way following our last visit. This pub didn't disappoint again. The Sunday carvery is fantastic. The chef is very passionate about his food and talks about the meat he has cooked and will carve. The beef was from a breed he's not cooked with before and took the time to come over to our table for our feedback. We are planning our next visit in the summer and will be driving from South West to chudleigh just for the food.
